The African Transformation Movement believes that South Africa's long mismanaged economy, not COVID-19, is responsible for the 2.2 million job losses reported in the second quarter of 2020. They argue that continued lockdown is destroying the economy and enabling rampant corruption, while failing to support small businesses and the informal sector that could boost employment. ATM is calling for an end to the lockdown and a shift in focus to growing the economy through supporting small businesses and local manufacturing.
South Africa : Size, Accessibility, Economy, Trade & Market
South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa, is the southernmost sovereign state in Africa.
It is bounded on the south by 2,798 kilometers of coastline of Southern Africa stretching along the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, on the north by the neighbouring countries of Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, and on the east by Mozambique and Swaziland, and surrounding the kingdom of Lesotho.
South Africa is a multiethnic society encompassing a wide variety of cultures, languages, and religions.
Its pluralistic makeup is reflected in the constitution's recognition of 11 official languages, which is among the highest number of any country in the world.
South Africa has the seventh-highest per capita income in Africa. However, poverty and inequality remain widespread, with about a quarter of the population unemployed and living on less than US$1.25 a day.

ABSTRACT
The economy of South Africa is the second-largest in Africa, behind Nigeria. It is ranked as an upper-middle-income economy by the World Bank.
South Africa’s growth experience provides an example of how contrasting growth trends - long-term decline followed by improved growth - pivot around political change, in this case a transition to democracy. In the decade prior to 1994, South Africa experienced the worst period of economic growth since the end of the Second World War, with growth variable and declining. The proximate causes of slowing growth were trade and financial sanctions in opposition to the Apartheid government, political instability and macroeconomic policy decisions that resulted in higher inflation, increased uncertainty and declining investment.
In the post-apartheid period, political and economic leadership have been essential to improving the country’s growth performance, because of the effect on policy formulation, institutional development, regulatory design, and economic vision.
This research project provides some insight into the challenges faced by the South African Economy such as high levels of unemployment, income inequality, growing public debt, political mismanagement, low levels of education, reliable access to amenities, and crime.
Productivity-Inclusiveness-Nexus-Parliamentary-Days-2017
Session by Gabriela Ramos, Chief of Staff, G20 Sherpa and Special Counsellor to the Secretary-General, OECD
Among the myriad challenges facing our economies, few pose greater obstacles to better economic performance than the productivity slowdown and the rise in inequalities. Are they influencing each other? OECD work on the productivity-inclusiveness nexus, presented at the 2016 OECD Ministerial Council Meeting, sets out what we know about the interactions between productivity and inclusiveness, identifies knowledge gaps, and charts win-win policies that boost productivity and tackle inequality.
Despite advances in business and technological transformations, we can no longer assume that they will automatically lead to better economic performance and stronger productivity growth. And there is no guarantee that the benefits of higher levels of growth, or higher levels of productivity in certain sectors, will be shared across the population as a whole. This session will explore how policy makers can adopt a broader, more inclusive approach to productivity growth – one that considers how to expand the productive assets of an economy by investing in individuals’ skills and providing an environment where enterprises have a fair chance to succeed, including in lagging regions, generating strong and sustainable growth and opportunities for all.
NigeriaPiece
This document summarizes the recent economic growth and development in Nigeria and South Africa. It notes that Nigeria's economy has surpassed South Africa's in recent years, growing at around 6% annually, driven by growth in the non-oil sectors like agriculture, telecommunications, and entertainment. However, it also notes that ordinary Nigerian citizens have not fully benefited from this economic growth, with poverty and unemployment still high. It concludes by questioning whether South Africa could match Nigeria's economic growth and development anytime soon.
Malaysia macroeconomic view
Malaysia has a population of 29.8 million people and its capital is Kuala Lumpur. Its GDP was $190.31 billion in 2011, making it the 3rd largest economy in Southeast Asia. Malaysia has a highly open economy that exports electrical appliances, electronics, palm oil, and natural gas. Its major trade partners are China, Japan, the US and Singapore. The Malaysian Ringgit is the national currency. The economy has diversified from primarily producing tin, rubber and palm oil to include industries like electronics manufacturing and tourism. Services make up the largest sector of the economy at 46.8% of GDP, followed by industry at 41.2% and agriculture at 11.9%. The economy is

Exiting-the-Low-growth-Trap-Investment-Parliamentary-Days-2017
Session by Catherine Mann, Chief Economist, G20 Finance Deputy and Special Counsellor to the Secretary-General, OECD
The global economy remains in a low-growth trap with world GDP stuck in 2016 at around 3%, well-below the long-run average for the fifth consecutive year. Disappointing growth outcomes have led to weak consumption and investment, sustaining a vicious cycle of poor productivity improvements and further growth disappointments. Weak investment accounts for a large share of this poor productivity performance with capital spending in the OECD barely above the pre-crisis peak and well below the trajectory of past recoveries. Most strikingly, investment has not responded to the exceptionally low interest rates brought about by monetary policy.
Increases in investment are needed to push economies onto a higher growth path and this calls for decisive policy actions. During this presentation, OECD’s Chief Economist will share insights into how fiscal initiatives and structural reforms can lead to higher growth without compromising debt sustainability.

Mozambique has experienced strong economic growth in recent years driven by sectors like agriculture, manufacturing, trade and transport. Manufacturing specifically has contributed around 14% to GDP, led by industries like metallurgy, food and beverages, and tobacco. However, manufacturing's share of GDP has fallen recently. The document outlines opportunities to invest in Mozambique's manufacturing industry, such as in biofuels, metals, and agro-processing, to add more value to the country's natural resources and meet domestic and export demand. Sample investment projects are provided for industries like biodiesel, cement, steel, and crops. Incentives are available for manufacturers establishing operations.
Botswana Public Sector: Growth, Trends, Prospects
Botswana has experienced strong economic growth since independence in 1966, transforming from one of the poorest countries to an upper middle income country due to stable politics, prudent economic management, and effective use of natural resources like diamonds. GDP per capita grew from $70 at independence to $6,500 in just three decades. The economy has been driven by mining, which contributes significantly to GDP, exports, and government revenues. Public sector employment is also large, with the government contributing 40% of jobs. Key challenges include high unemployment around 20% in the 1990s and maintaining spending discipline given heavy reliance on mining revenues.
Arab World Competitiveness Report 2007
The document discusses recent trends in labor markets and employment in the Middle East and North Africa region. It notes that while higher oil prices since 2003 have boosted economic growth and job creation, reducing unemployment, significant challenges remain. Unemployment remains high across the region, and much recent job growth has been in temporary public sector work. Non-oil producing countries have seen more limited benefits and some have higher unemployment, as oil wealth has not been broadly shared across borders as in the past. Continued strong, sustainable private sector job growth will be needed to meaningfully address the region's large unemployment problem over the long term.

The Republic of Angola is an African country that declared independence from Portugal in 1975. It has a population of over 30 million and relies heavily on its oil and diamond industries. The emergence of COVID-19 has negatively impacted Angola's economy by reducing oil prices and revenues, slowing other key sectors like construction, and increasing inflation. In response, Angola needs to implement an immediate action plan to prioritize health, support businesses, and diversify its economy in order to stabilize and promote recovery.

ISG Partnership with Cal Bank
Cal Bank Limited, one of the largest banks in Ghana, is partnering with ISG Project Financing to fund startup projects in Ghana. Their objectives are to raise funds for projects by having Cal Bank's private clients invest equity of up to 20% and ISG providing the remaining financing through private equity of 20% and debt financing of 60% or more. ISG is seeking projects worth at least $10 million that have an IRR of over 30% and are led by experienced management teams in sectors like real estate, oil/gas, agriculture, and more. Promoters should provide details about their projects, management, financial projections, and contact information to apply for financing.
African real estate leaflet
The document discusses opportunities for investing in real estate markets across Africa. It notes that Africa's population and economies are growing rapidly, with 13 of the 20 fastest growing economies expected to be in Africa over the next 5 years. Specific real estate investment opportunities mentioned include Ghana, where house prices are expected to rise 50% in 2015 and retail rents have already risen 50% since 2012; Nigeria, currently the largest economy in Africa; and Kenya, where property prices have increased three-fold over the past 14 years. The document advocates that now is the time for investors to acquire assets in these markets while prices remain reasonable.
ISG Project Refinancing
ISG offers a project refinancing service in Africa to replace existing high-interest loans with lower interest rate loans from ISG. Their refinancing provides entrepreneurs capital to pay off bank loans at interest rates as high as 35% and instead pay ISG interest rates between 5-7% for individual projects or 3-4% for government projects. An example is given of an entrepreneur who refinanced a real estate loan in Ghana from a 35% interest rate with a local bank to a 5% interest rate on capital from ISG.
ISG BANK PARTNERSHIP
The document describes ISG, an independent entity that develops creative solutions to fund projects in Africa by bringing project promoters into contact with financiers and investors worldwide. ISG helps address the issue that while projects often meet investment criteria, promoters frequently cannot meet the 20% equity stake requirement. ISG partners with financial institutions to identify wealthy individuals willing to invest in projects and help meet the equity requirement, guided by agreements between ISG and the institutions. The goal is to increase investment in Africa by its residents and others to empower the continent.

TOGO ECONOMIC OUTLOOK IGO HOLDING PROJECT
- 1. IGO HOLDING SA IS LOOKING FOR PRIVATE INVESTORS TO INVEST IN A SHEA BUTTER PRODUCTION PLANT IN WEST AFRICA TOGO ECONOMIC OUTLOOK • The growth rate went down slightly in 2013 to an estimated 5.6% from 5.9% in 2012, but it is expected to increase to 6.0% in 2014 and 6.3% in 2015. • The government’s improvements in 2013 and the creation of the Togolese revenue office in February 2014 are expected to clean up a business environment that hinders entrepreneurship and property ownership. • Togo plans to draw on the advantages of the local extractive industry, its processing plants and port and transport services to get the most out of global value chains. The 5.6% growth in 2013 was largely due to the primary sector, namely cotton and food crops, plus services such as retail, transport and storage, and communications. Continuing public investment and a boost to the cotton and phosphate sectors are expected to sustain growth, projected at 6.0% in 2014 and 6.3% in 2015. Despite an 11% increase in tax revenue, the tax ratio increased only slightly from 16.4% in 2012 to 16.9% in 2013. The deficit in the overall balance improved from 5.8% of GDP to 4.6%. Inflation was 1.8%, and will be controlled in the medium term. The 2013 legislative elections were without incident. Peaceful preparation for the 2015 presidential elections will be a key factor TOGO MAP PHOSPHATE DEPOSITS IN TOGO COTTON FACTORY IN TOGO

Three-quarters of the Togolese population are under 35 and just 35% are aged 15-35. The latter age group has a particularly high rate of unemployment (8.1%) and underemployment (20.5%). The poverty rate decreased 3 percentage points from 61.7% in 2006 to 58.7% in 2011. While these results are positive, they are well under the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) of 30.9% by 2015. Togo has significant mineral deposits (phosphate, limestone, iron and magnesium). It must first develop its extractive industry and processing plants in the medium and long term to take advantage of global value chains (GVCs). Port services and regional transport also hold opportunities. Other openings may develop in different industrial sectors, but they will depend on both the quality of public service and the cost and availability of utilities.
