MBABANE – A new chapter opened for Eswatini’s financial sector on Wednesday morning with the launch of the Eswatini Capital Markets Association, an initiative aimed at deepening collaboration among players in the country’s capital markets.
Speaking at the launch, held in Mbabane, Central Bank Governor Dr. Phil Mnisi said the bank is committed to developing a capital market framework that is globally competitive, sustainable, and responsive to Eswatini’s economic needs. He said efforts are underway to align governance and transparency standards with international benchmarks while ensuring the system supports local investment opportunities.
Dr. Melvin Khomo, Chairperson of the Eswatini Stock Exchange, also addressed the gathering. He described the association as a much-needed platform for dialogue and advocacy among market participants, regulators, and policymakers. According to Khomo, the move responds to the growing recognition of capital markets as a tool for driving financial inclusion, domestic savings mobilisation, and attracting international investors.
