SA's policy uncertainty eased in the fourth quarter of 2022 after rising to record levels, though it remains in negative territory. | News24_Business

This is according to the North-West University Policy Uncertainty Index , and comes as some of the negative influences either subsided or were priced in by the market, said report author Professor Raymond Parsons on Monday.

In the fourth quarter, however, it fell from those highs, dropping from 59.6 in Q3 2022 to 53.2 in the last quarter of the year. The report notes that high levels of policy uncertainty have been shown, empirically, to deter investment, employment, and output."Elevated policy uncertainty in many countries contributes to sluggish growth. Economic policy uncertainty then has actual consequences for the economy," write the authors.
