IMF predicts 1% growth for SA’s GDP

update released by the International Monetary Fund .

The report, released on Tuesday, broadly shows that global growth is still sluggish, but South Africa’s Gross Domestic Product is expected to grow by 1.0% in 2019.According to the World Economic Outlook, South Africa’s low growth projection follows a very weak first quarter. GDP declined by 3.2% the first quarter of 2019, the largest quarterly drop in GDP in 10 years. The report says this reflects a larger than anticipated impact of strike activity and energy supply issues in mining as well as agricultural production.

Growth in Sub-Saharan Africa is expected at 3.4% this year and 3.6% in 2020. It says this is as strong growth in many non-resource intensive countries partially offsets the weak performance of the region’s largest economies.
