Brief note intended as a more regular interface with our clients. The emphasis is to provide our interpretation of important economic events, such as South African Reserve Bank interest rate statements, and key data releases, including GDP growth figures.

Furthermore, albeit that activity improved, respondents reported increased pressure on profitability.
