Projection of Future Economic and Sociopolitical Trends In South Africa Up To 2025

Business leaders and economists are very upbeat in their expectations for South Africa’s general economic prospects in years to come and here specifically with regard to economic relations with other countries. In the same vein a panel of 13 eminent economists expects an average growth rate in excess of 3 % per annum between 2005 and 2010 and even higher growth of 3,6 % per annum for the period 2011 to 2025.

These very positive expectations concerning the economy are contained in a report with the title Projection of future economic and sociopolitical trends in South Africa up to 2025 recently published by the Bureau of Market Research (BMR) of the University of South Africa (Unisa).
