Policy uncertainty and a contracting GDP cause economic upset

In this edition of Business Day Spotlight, we explore the current state of the SA economy as s GDP contracted by 3.2% for the first quarter of 2019Our host Mudiwa Gavaza is joined on the line by Prof Adrian Saville, economics lecturer at Gibs Business School and CEO of Cannon Asset Managers to unpack some of the week’s top economic issues.

With elections now out of the way, are we likely to see more inflows of capital into the economy from parties that were previously waiting to see how the democratic process would turn out? Saville says he certainly hopes so, but the policy environment needs to be right to attract investors.
