Swaziland

  • Despite the windfall South African Customs Union (SACU) revenues, decisive fiscal reforms that would put public finance on a sustainable footing and stimulate growth have only been partially undertaken.
  • 2013/14 presents another opportunity as SACU revenues are expected to remain high, further easing the fiscal constraint.
  • Given limited natural resources, Swaziland’s growth prospects depend on increased investments in high value-added manufacturing and services as well as skill development.
