Housing Finance Push: President William Ruto used the World Urban Forum in Baku to call for reform of the global financial system, arguing Africa pays up to five times more for credit while still facing a fast-growing urban housing crunch. Cyber Security Watch: NETSCOUT reports DDoS attacks across Africa are increasingly being guided by AI, with more frequent multivector strikes and short, intense campaigns. Royal-to-Resource Deals: King Mswati III invited Azerbaijan’s SOCAR and mining firms to invest in Eswatini, including a planned Strategic Oil Reserve expected to be completed by 2028. Jobs and Industry: Eswatini commissioned a E750m metal foundry in Sidvokodvo, targeting 500+ jobs and turning scrap metal and used batteries/tyres into export-ready materials. Labour Market Pressure: Business Eswatini links unemployment to slow growth, outdated skills, and a system that still trains jobseekers instead of job creators. Energy and Costs: Government cut fuel allocations by 40% across ministries as costs bite, while households continue to feel electricity and transport price hikes. Regional Diplomacy: Eswatini’s King also stressed stronger Africa–Europe parliamentary diplomacy as a tool for peace, youth mobility, and multilateral reform.
