GUEST – Donnée Kruger – Board member at the EU Chamber of Commerce & Industry in Southern Africa

The survey of EU companies outside of South Africa was distributed electronically through a number of available databases, and responses were received from 328 potential investors across 18 different EU Member States.

Whereas most of the respondents are involved in services trade and investment, just under 20% represent the manufacturing sector. About half of the companies employ more than 250 staff. - Importantly, 70% of the respondents have had some previous exposure to South Africa, either though exporting, importing or through prior investments; and just 20% indicated that they will not consider doing business in South Africa.
