South Africa's Economic Score: 5.46 out of 10 for April 2016
This page shows our uniquely developed Economic Scorecard for South Africa. We look at various economic indicators of South Africa, give each a ranking out of 10, and then obtain a score out of 10 for South Africa's economy as a whole. While the score will be updated on a monthly basis, we will take the quarterly average of the score and plot that against actual GDP, to see how the score's movements behave compared to published GDP figures. The score can be used in order to assess the underlying healthy of South Africa's economy, and whether it is getting better or worse over time. A healthy economy is seen as an economy with a score higher than 7. Factors contributing to the current score: Increasing Consumer Inflation (even though it showed a decline in March 2016 when compared to February 2016) Increasing Producer Inflation (even though it too showed a decline in March 2016 when compared to February 2016) Poor policy implementation from Government Imports being stronger than Exports |
