South Africa SACCI Business Confidence Index

The South Africa's SACCI business confidence index declined sharply to 91.8 in March 2019 from 93.4 in the previous month affected by the slow pace of structural reforms, disruptions in activity associated to Eskom's power blackouts and the recent increase in electricity tariffs. It is the lowest reading since August marking the fourth consecutive deterioration in business sentiment. Coincident Index in South Africa averaged 108.86 Index Points from 1985 until 2019, reaching an all time high of 141.17 Index Points in December of 2006 and a record low of 88.12 Index Points in April of 1985.

Coincident Index in South Africa is expected to be 93.00 Index Points by the end of this quarter, according to Trading Economics global macro models and analysts expectations. Looking forward, we estimate Coincident Index in South Africa to stand at 94.50 in 12 months time.
