What Eswatini's economic profile is telling you
Eswatini's current World Bank profile shows 2025 GDP and growth alongside very high modeled unemployment. Its CPI observation is much older, from 2019, so that year is kept explicit rather than being presented as a current inflation rate.
Reading the macro data
Nominal GDP measures current-dollar size. Real growth, inflation and unemployment describe different economic conditions and may have different reference years.
Reading the trade data
Merchandise trade covers goods. A balance is shown only when exports and imports have a verified matching year and currency basis.
