Other services survey, 2025Q4

Date Uploaded: December 15 2025 10:00


Confidence in the Other Services sector jumped by 23 points to 69 in 2025Q4, making it only the second time this metric is above 65 since 2008Q3, and marking a post-GFC2 record. This rise is driven by significant gains in business volumes, conditions, and profitability, all of which are now well above long-term averages. Concurrently, average selling price inflation fell in line with lower inflation in South Africa.
