Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger Impose 0.5% Levy on ECOWAS Imports, Including Nigeria

West African nations Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger have announced the introduction of a 0.5% levy on imported goods as they move to finance their newly formed three-state union. According to a statement released by the governments, the levy aims to support their economic and security alliance following their departure from the larger regional economic bloc.

The Alliance of Sahel States was initially established in 2023 as a security pact between the military-led governments of the three nations, all of which came to power through coups in recent years. It has since expanded into an emerging economic union, with plans to introduce biometric passports and deepen military and economic ties.

The statement confirmed that the levy was agreed upon on Friday and takes effect immediately. It applies to all goods imported from outside the three countries, with the exception of humanitarian aid. Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger are among the poorest nations in the world and have been grappling with a decade-long Islamist insurgency.

Armed groups linked to al-Qaeda and the Islamic State have wreaked havoc in the region, leading to thousands of deaths, millions displaced, and growing disillusionment with former democratic governments that struggled to contain the violence. As these nations chart a new course, the effectiveness of their economic policies will be crucial in determining the long-term viability of their union.
