Analysis by Region - Emerging Markets - South Africa

The incessant power outages are weighing on economic activity and exacerbating price pressures. Economic growth has been volatile, as a result, with more than half of South Africa's economic industries still performing below pre-pandemic levels.

Stagflation risks remain elevated, with high unemployment and a weakened exchange rate only dampening the outlook.
