Investor's Guide To Eswatini

Investing in Eswatini The economic philosophy espoused by the Government of Eswatini is the free enterprise system, and this has sound economic management as the basis for creating an attractive macroeconomic environment that is necessary for increasing investor confidence. The stability of the macroeconomic environment is the guiding principle behind the government's management of the national economy. This is often considered to be the most important driver for new investment. Foreign and local investments in all business sectors are welcome. While the Small Enterprise Development Company (SEDCO) offers business development and start-up support services for micro, small and medium enterprises, SIPA focuses on large companies both domestic and foreign to facilitate their investments in Eswatini. For mergers and acquisitions, the Swaziland Competition Commission reviews investment and its effect on specific industries, the effect on employment and the ability of small businesses to be competitive. All mergers and acquisitions are subject to screening and approval by the Swaziland Competition Commission. Eswatini's capital markets are closely tied to those of South Africa and operate under conditions generally similar to the conditions in that market. The government in 2010 enacted the Securities Act to strengthen the regulation of the portfolio investment. The act was primarily to facilitate and develop an orderly, fair and efficient capital market in the country. 46 Investor's Guide To Eswatini Investor's Guide To Eswatini 47
