Multilateral Monetary Agreement Between Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa and Swaziland
The Governments of Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa and Swaziland issued this agreement to coordinate monetary policy and sustain the Common Monetary Area. It establishes legal tender status for national currencies alongside the Rand, guarantees unrestricted cross-border fund transfers, and secures regional market access for member entities. The pact further mandates annual compensatory payments by South Africa for circulating Rand currency, harmonizes financial regulation and payment systems, and establishes a dedicated commission with binding arbitration to resolve disputes.
