Africa-Press – Eswatini. Eswatini, the Kingdom once known primarily for its rich culture and vibrant festivals, is rapidly becoming a leading light for innovation and investment in Africa.
In its April/May 2025 edition, Forbes Africa praised Eswatini’s “unique blend of tradition and modernisation,” calling it one of Southern Africa’s most promising economies.
“As we celebrate our heritage, we also invest in our future,” His Majesty King Mswati III told Forbes Africa. His vision of harmonising the Kingdom’s rich traditions with bold economic reforms is now yielding tangible results.
Prime Minister Russell Mmiso Dlamini has set ambitious goals, aiming to increase GDP growth to 12% within five years. “We are positioning Eswatini as a gateway to African markets,” Dlamini shared during his interview. His administration’s reforms include reducing bureaucracy, expanding infrastructure, and enhancing digital access across the nation.
Key projects such as the “Government in Your Hand” digital initiative are transforming how citizens interact with services. “Our youth are our greatest asset,” Dlamini said. “We are preparing them to lead and thrive in the modern economy.”
Minister of Commerce, Industry and Trade Manqoba Khumalo also expressed enthusiasm about the Kingdom’s economic direction.
“Now is the time to be part of Eswatini’s transformation,” he told Forbes Africa. “Our policies are investor-friendly, and we are expanding into regional markets through initiatives like AfCFTA.”
