Mbabane – The Central Bank of Eswatini and the United Nations Development Programme hosted a Stakeholder Validation Workshop in Mbabane on Friday to gather feedback on the Eswatini Green Finance Taxonomy, a framework designed to align the financial sector with the country’s climate and environmental priorities.
The workshop was held to ensure the taxonomy is practical, credible and rooted in Eswatini’s realities, the Central Bank said on Monday.
Deputy Governor Felicia Dlamini-Kunene, speaking at the opening of the workshop, said climate risks directly affect financial stability and institutions. 
“The EGFT provides a science-based system to define what counts as ‘green’ in Eswatini, guiding banks, investors, and policymakers to channel capital into projects that drive climate action and sustainability,” she said.
