Given the reduction in government revenues that will occur as a result of the changes in the EU sugar regime, coupled with the limited ability of the Government to finance the adaptation needs necessary, there is need to support the Government through the provision of additional revenue streams or other related forms of assistance. The magnitude of the responses required, and the financial requirements are huge. Swaziland will loose about €9 million per annum in revenues from the sugar levy. In addition there will be less tax payable by the industry and a decline in income tax and general sales tax as levels of income and consumption fall as a result of retrenchment. Budgetary support is therefore essential, and Swaziland needs to immediately implement measures to enable it to qualify for general budgetary support. Assistance will also be required in the implementation of the programmes identified here.
