Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>A new chapter in Eswatini\u2019s economic journey was written today as Prime Minister Russell Mmiso Dlamini officially launched the inaugural Eswatini Investment Conference 2025 at the Royal Villas in Ezulwini.<\/b><\/p>\n

The groundbreaking event marks a bold stride towards inclusive and exponential economic growth, reinforcing the country\u2019s position as a premier investment destination in Southern Africa.<\/p>\n

A Vision for Rapid Economic Transformation<\/b><\/p>\n

Under the theme \u201cCreating Opportunities for Rapid Economic Transformation,\u201d the conference aligns with the Kingdom\u2019s broader transformation agenda, as outlined in the Sibaya mandate, the Government Programme of Action, and the forthcoming long-term Grand Plan.<\/p>\n

Dlamini emphasized that His Majesty\u2019s Government is focused on achieving 12% annual GDP growth by the end of the 2029 fiscal year. To meet this ambitious target, Eswatini is implementing strategic policies to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), stimulate local investment, and foster an investor-friendly business environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis conference is a direct implementation of the \u2018Nkwe\u2019 mandate as proclaimed by His Majesty the King during Sibaya in 2023. It is a defining moment in our journey to economic transformation,\u201d the Prime Minister stated.<\/p>\n

A Platform for Global Investors<\/b><\/p>\n

The Eswatini Investment Promotion Authority (EIPA), under the Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Trade, will oversee the conference, which brings together global investors, financiers, economic institutions, policymakers, and financial intermediaries.<\/p>\n

Through this initiative, the government seeks to:<\/p>\n

Unveil high-impact investment projects led by the private sector.<\/p>\n

Showcase new government policy reforms that enhance ease of doing business, including the one-stop shop initiative and investment policy.<\/p>\n

Attract investments in key sectors such as manufacturing, energy, agriculture, and agro-processing, which are crucial to economic growth and job creation.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur country is a land of immense potential, and we are rolling out the red carpet for investors. This conference underscores our unwavering commitment to uplifting emaSwati and building a prosperous future for all,\u201d Dlamini assured.<\/p>\n

Private Sector Partnership: A Cornerstone for Growth<\/b><\/p>\n

Acknowledging the role of the private sector, the Prime Minister expressed gratitude to business sponsors and stakeholders who have supported the conference at various levels. He reaffirmed that private sector collaboration remains integral to Eswatini\u2019s economic success.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe private sector is the backbone of our growth strategy, and we deeply appreciate its commitment to our shared vision,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

A New Era for Eswatini\u2019s Economy<\/b><\/p>\n

With a strong commitment to policy reforms, investor-friendly initiatives, and targeted economic programmes, the Eswatini Investment Conference 2025 signals the Kingdom\u2019s readiness to attract global investment and unlock new opportunities for sustainable development.<\/p>\n

As Dlamini officially unveiled the conference logo and declared the event launched, anticipation soared for the transformative economic strides Eswatini is poised to achieve.<\/p>\n

This historic initiative reaffirms Eswatini\u2019s commitment to progress, innovation, and shared prosperity, making it an ideal destination for business and investment in Africa.<\/p>\n
