It's a wrap - SA's economic outlook bleak at the end of 2019

--:--
In this edition of Business Day Spotlight, we take a look in the rear-view mirror at the year gone by in SA’s economy together with an outlook for the year ahead.

Our host Mudiwa “MobbJustice” Gavaza is joined by Ndumiso Hadebe, an economist and director for Pax Africana Holdings for our last show for the year.

In the first part of the discussion, we look back at the year’s major economic events. Hadebe gives a brief account of GDP growth for each quarter, looking at the factors that defined each period.

The second part of the show explores what the year to come may have in store in terms of the US-China trade war, the annual national budget and a possible ratings decision by Moody’s.

Listen in to hear the full discussion and thoughts around these and other questions.

Business Day Spotlight is a MultimediaLIVE Production.
