Key Market Issues
The South African economy witnessed stable growth of 4.5% during 2002-2008, but has been adversely impacted by the global financial crisis. The reserve bank of South Africa has revised the country's GDP growth estimates for 2013 to 2.6%, from an earlier estimate of 2.9%, which suggests that the economic conditions could deteriorate further.

Factors such as labour unrest, and a lack of job creation, are both contributing to weak consumer demand in the country.
