Eswatini Central Bank Hikes Rates for First Time in a Year
The Central Bank of Eswatini has raised interest rates, its first hike in a year. The move comes as regional monetary authorities weigh inflation pressures, and it is likely to lift borrowing costs for businesses and households in the small kingdom, whose economy is closely tied to neighbouring South Africa.
Why now: A first rate change after a year-long pause signals a policy shift that markets and borrowers are watching closely.
