Title: Limpopo Socio Economic Review and Outlook
Author: Provincial Treasury
Abstract: Global economic recovery is continuing, but the momentum has weakened and uncertainty has increased with the recent resurgence of the COVID-19 virus Omicron variant. The greater sub-Saharan Africa region is expected to grow by 4.0 percent in 2021, the slowest recovery in the world compared to advanced markets and other emerging markets and developing economies. Despite possibly achieving growth of 4.6 percent in 2021, South Africa is unlikely to maintain this momentum into 2022 according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The upward revision to South Africa's 2021 growth outlook is largely linked to better than expected growth during the first half of the year before the massive social unrest in Kwazulu and Gauteng provinces, as well as the impact of the country’s improved national accounts position, which has been helped by a stronger trade account bolstered by the commodities boom.
