EZULWINI – The Central Bank of Eswatini (CBE) is closely monitoring developments that come after the United States of America U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration.
This comes after the CBE Governor, Dr Phil Mnisi, delivered his 2025 Annual Monetary Policy Statement on Thursday where the rationale of the bank was unpacked.
The address talks of changes in domestic, regional and international economies where it was emphasised that constant monitoring of development was essential as well as its promptness.
The CBE Deputy Governor Felicia Dlamini-Kunene said formulation and implementation of appropriate monetary policies was essential.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I would also like to assure you that the bank remains proactive in assessing the potential impact and implication of the U.S. trade tariff on the domestic economy and within its jurisdiction. Hence the bank stands ready to intervene where possible, within its jurisdiction,” the deputy governor said while moderating the address.
CBE also said that it was fostering stronger coordination of the monetary and financial policy, that structural policies are in place to support the monetary and fiscal policies to ensure resilience of the economy to shocks.
