Editing Economy of Eswatini (section)

==Infrastructure==
Eswatini enjoys well-developed road links with [[South Africa]]. [[Eswatini Railways]] operates its railroads that run east to west and north to south. The older east–west link, called the [[Goba]] line, makes it possible to export bulk goods from Eswatini through the Port of [[Maputo]] in [[Mozambique]]. Until recently, most of Eswatini's imports were shipped through this port. Conflict in Mozambique in the 1980s diverted many Swazi exports to ports in South Africa. A north–south rail link, completed in 1986, provides a connection between the Eastern Transvaal (now Mpumalanga) rail network and the South African ports of [[Richards Bay]] and [[Durban]]. From the mid-1980s foreign investment in the manufacturing sector boosted economic growth rates significantly. Since mid-1985, the depreciated value of the currency has increased the competitiveness of Swazi exports and moderated the growth of imports, generating trade surpluses. During the 1990s, the country often ran small trade deficits.{{Citation needed|date=November 2009}}
