About Us


MacroCapita is an economic consulting & procurement firm, with offices in Swaziland (Southern Africa) & Hong Kong. We cover a wide range of issues within the energy industry for both Asian and Sub-Saharan African countries. In consulting we focus on energy and development (E & D), regulation of utilities, security of supply, environmental economics, energy poverty, as well as conduct country risk analysis. In procurement we source for and supply a range of energy related products, including solar energy equipment, metering equipment, transformers, generators, and wind turbines.


We believe that economics is simply about choice, and that anything that involves choice is subject to economic analysis. We develop models from simple ideas, not the other way around, which enables us to create real solutions to real economic problems. Our team is made up of skilled professionals who possess the flexibility to utilize heterodox approaches in tackling complex economic issues.

Research Approach


We at MacroCapita believe that it is crucial to closely monitor the decisions taken by developing countries in the coming years, the movement of capital, the magnitude and nature of FDI flows, the importance of energy and regulation, and security of energy supply. A unique feature of our approach towards development and energy economics is that we place a great deal of importance on the role of enterprise in developing countries, and the relationships between businesses and government institutions.

It is our aim to closely analyze the causes of various crises and market/regulatory/government failures throughout the world, in an effort to better understand these events, and to predict them early enough to provide sound policy advice. Specifically, we believe that energy markets have a key role to play in deciding the global political, economic and environmental ground rules for future generations. We analyze energy market fundamentals, game theoretical models, foreign policies, and regulatory frameworks and take pride in our pioneering work and competencies in the realms of regulation in developing countries as well as the use of System Dynamics for economic analysis.
