Lesotho's Economy

Bordered by South Africa, Lesotho is a small, landlocked country considered a low-middle-income economy. The private sector is quite small, hence the state has the upper hand in being the key player. For the past few years, the country’s economic performance has been affected by various factors, including natural disasters. However, growth is expected to increase with some construction projects such as the Lesotho Highlands Water Project, Lesotho Lowlands Water Development Projects, and roads. Green energy projects are also in the pipeline and initiatives to strengthen financial inclusion are also being discussed.
