Higher growth will largely be based on the rebound in consumer spending and private-sector fixed investment spending.

The Old Mutual Investment Group is confident the rebound in the economy in the second half of the year will be strong enough to see growth of almost 1%.

Despite a steep contraction in the first quarter of 2019, slower than expected policy reform and negative news around National Health Insurance, Eskom and the debt relief bill, Old Mutual Investment Group has not revised down its growth forecasts for this year or next. “The next five years are still expected to be better than the past five years but urgent reforms are crucial,” he said.
