| Summary: | This 10th South Africa Economic Update
offers a review of the country’s recent economic and social
developments and outlook in the context of global economic
prospects. It focuses on the role of innovation in fostering
economic growth, job creation and poverty reduction in an
environment in which more South Africans are getting poorer.
Main conclusions emerging from this analysis suggest that
policies to spur innovation can go a long way in addressing
unemployment, poverty and inequality in South Africa. It is
our hope that South Africa will continue, and possibly
expand, using the World Bank vast body of knowledge, global
experience and its convening power as a platform for
exchange and peer-to-peer learning in the identification of
pragmatic solutions to reach the country’s National
Development Plan’s goals. |
