Key issues for the market and South Africa during 2019 will be:
- Exchange Rate (seems to see sawing a lot. See our exchange rate page)
- Elections (and how this will affect policies and policy implementation in South Africa)
- Crude Oil prices
- Expropriation of land without compensation (EWC)
- Sluggish economic growth (See our SA GDP page) and high levels of unemployment
- Tax increases announced in the budget speech and how it will affect South African consumers spending patterns and potentially increase inflation levels as taxes were increased by rates higher than inflation. In particular lack of bracket creep relief and higher sin taxes, fuel levies and road accident fund levies will hurt consumers.
