Exchange Rate Arrangements. The lilangeni (plural: emalangeni) is pegged at parity to the South African rand, which is also legal tender. Exchange rates for the Lilangeni vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar are based on the exchange rate of the South African rand against the U.S. dollar. Eswatini has accepted the obligations of Article VIII, Sections 2(a), 3, and 4 of the Fund’s Articles of Agreement and maintains an exchange system free of restrictions on the making of payments and transfers for current international transactions.
Article IV Consultation. Eswatini is on a standard 12-month consultation cycle. The last Article IV Consultation was concluded by the Executive Board on September 1, 2017.

Statistical Issues
| I. Assessment of Data Adequacy for Surveillance |
| General: Data provision has some shortcomings, but is broadly adequate for surveillance (Category B). The most important shortcomings concern timely and reliability of national accounts statistics, coverage and reliability of fiscal operations, and compilation of external sector data. |
| National Accounts: The Central Statistical Office (CSO) has revised past annual national accounts data from 2011 to reflect revisions in the balance of payments statistics and is planning to rebase GDP. With TA from the Fund and donors, the CSO has integrated tax data in the GDP compilation framework, improved the consistency with balance of payments series and is developing quarterly GDP estimates. Shortcomings remain with frequent GDP data revisions, large statistical discrepancies for the demand-side of GDP series, quality of quarterly GDP series, delays in finalizing GDP series with about a year lag, and absence of formal dissemination system. |
| Price Statistics: The CSO is working on updating the weights for the CPI and plans to rebase the index using the latest 2016/17 household survey. Monthly consumer price data are disseminated by the CSO with a one-month lag. With Fund assistance, the CSO is also developing a producer price index. The CSO has conducted the 2016/17 Household Income and Expenditure Survey, the 2017 population census, and the 2016 Labor Force Survey. |
| Government Finance Statistics: Annual budgetary central government data by fiscal year are reported on an invoice-registered basis by spending entity and only to the Fund in the GFSM 2014 format. With Fund support, implementation of GFS classification standards has been recently improved. Large discrepancies are common in the fiscal operations of the Central Government, no fiscal statistics are disseminated for extra budgetary funds and institutions, and consolidated general government. These issues point at several shortcomings and needs for improvements, including: coverage of central government statistics, timely registration of invoices, development of consolidated general government fiscal data; data collection of potential fiscal risks from extrabudgetary funds. |
| Monetary and Financial Statistics: The Central Bank of Eswatini (CBE) reports monthly monetary statistics on standardized report forms for the CBE balance sheet and other depository corporations (banks, and the Eswatini Building Society since January 2006). Credit and savings cooperatives remain outside the deposit corporations’ survey. The CBE reports Financial Soundness Indicators (FSIs) to the Fund for three commercial banks and a Savings and Development Bank on a quarterly basis and, at times, require revisions. The CBE reports data on several indicators of the Financial Access Survey (FAS) including the two indicators (commercial bank branches per 100,000 adults and ATMs per 100,000 adults) adopted by the UN to monitor Target 8.10 of the Sustainable Development Goals. |
| Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Statistics: The coverage and classification of balance of payments (BOP) and international investment position (IIP) data reported by the CBE are largely in line with the sixth edition of the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual (BPM6). The CBE reports BOP and IIP data annually and quarterly. However, frequent and large data revisions and large errors and omissions point at the need for further actions to improve the accuracy and reliability of the BOP data. Recent TA (July 2018) found the current account surplus to be overestimated and provided guidance to improve the coverage. The exchange control data collection system used to compile balance of payments data needs further improvements and validation. |
| II. Data Standards and Quality |
| No data ROSC is available for Eswatini. Eswatini implemented the Enhanced General Data Dissemination System (e-GDDS) in January 2017, but needs to improve the timeliness of data posted on its National Summary Data Page. Most metadata have not been updated since 2005. |
| III. Reporting to STA |
| The CBE reports monetary and financial statistics to STA regularly, although the timeliness of data could be improved. Balance of payments data are published in International Financial Statistics (IFS) and in the Balance of Payments Yearbook. For the first time, in 2019 Eswatini submitted fiscal data in GFSM format to STA for publication in the Government Finance Statistics Yearbook. |
