Swaziland: Tenth year of declining growth

How is a small country to compete in a global marketplace where size is rewarded? Case in point is the tiny Southern African country Swaziland, nestled between the geographic giants South Africa and Mozambique. New thinking must come into play if the little kingdom is to survive as a viable state. "Economically, 2005 was defined as either disappointing or downright disastrous, depending on who is speaking. No one had a positive appraisal. We learned it can no longer be business as usual, because there is no such thing as business as usual in a changing world," said Richard Dube, a public transport company owner.
