Fitch warns SA over its high unemployment level | IOL Business Report

JOHANNESBURG – Fitch Solutions, a unit of the Fitch Group, yesterday warned that South Africa’s high level of unemployment would continue to weigh on private consumption and real gross domestic product growth in 2019. The firm said in a research note that a weak macroeconomic backdrop and poor labour market conditions elevate risks to social stability. “We forecast an average unemployment rate of 26.3 percent in 2019, remaining above the average of 25.2 percent recorded since 2008,” Fitch said.

Capital Economics economist John Ashbourne said South Africa’s unemployment rate continued to be a result of structural factors. However, it said the labour market remained under pressure, mainly against the backdrop of weak economic growth - with the economy having not grown above 2 percent since 2013.
