Abstract
The Swaziland economy continues to underperform, reflecting the impact of the global economic crisis. The impact of the crisis has been felt mostly in revenue transfers of the Southern African Customs Union (SACU) to Swaziland. Executive Directors welcomed Fiscal Adjustment Roadmap (FAR), which focused on restoring fiscal sustainability, improving competitiveness, and strengthening financial supervision. They noted that key challenges are restoring fiscal sustainability, addressing HIV/AIDS, reducing poverty, and creating employment. Directors emphasized the need for fiscal adjustment and budgetary reforms. Directors noted that the banking system remains in good health.

Swaziland maintains an exchange restriction subject to approval under Article VIII arising from a 33.33 percent limit for advance payments for the import of certain capital goods.

III. Swaiziland: Statistical Issues Appendix
(As of December 16, 2010)
| I. Assessment of Data Adequacy for Surveillance | |
| General: Data provision has some shortcomings, but is broadly adequate for surveillance. Staff’s analysis was affected by shortcomings in certain areas, including the national accounts and the external sector. The authorities provide available data to the Fund with a lag of one to three months, except for the national accounts, international trade data and the international investment position, which are reported irregularly. | |
| Real sector statistics: STA GDDS missions have resulted in significant improvements in the national accounts. Current and constant price (base = 2000) GDP estimates are now available from both the production and expenditure approaches. These new estimates have not yet been published, as there are still some shortcomings concerning the treatment of Southern African Customs Union revenue. The authorities are planning the first labor force survey with support from the World Bank/GDDS project. | |
| The consumer price index was significantly revised in May 2007 in the context of the GDDS initiative, incorporating improvements in compilation methodology, market basket coverage, flexibility for introducing new pricing outlets and new varieties of products, and enhanced processing capabilities. Four new geographical indices, as well as a national index, with updated market basket weights, are now available. Monthly consumer price data are published by the Central Statistical Office (CSO) with a one-month lag. | |
| Monetary and financial statistics: Although some progress was achieved in the reporting of data on the other depository corporations (ODCs), quality problems remained, particularly in the areas of classification and sectorization. The majority of the ODCs reported various degrees of difficulty in providing accurate data to the Central Bank of Swaziland (CBS). Furthermore, the institutional coverage of the depository corporations’ survey is limited, as it covers only the CBS and the commercial banks. Recently the CBS has started to include the Swaziland Building Society into the monetary data backdated to December 2006. The credit and savings cooperatives, representing about 8 percent of the deposits of the commercial banks, are still outside the deposit corporations’ survey. | |
| External sector statistics: Annual balance of payments statistics are compiled by the CBS according to a methodology consistent with the fifth edition of the Balance of Payments Manual (BPM5). However, shortcomings in the timeliness and availability of trade data impart a certain degree of uncertainty to external sector statistics and surveillance. The CSO publishes data on foreign trade on a quarterly basis, but the lack of sufficient computer resources results in long lags in the production of trade data, especially regarding imports. Further actions are required to improve the accuracy and reliability of external sector data. | |
| II. Data Standards and Quality | |
| Participant in the General Data Dissemination System (GDDS) since February 11, 2003. | No data ROSC is available. |
| III. Reporting to STA | |
| The CBS reports monetary and financial statistics to STA regularly, although the timeliness of data could be improved. Balance of payments and international investment position data are published in International Financial Statistics (IFS) and in the Balance of Payments Yearbook. | |
