Macro Poverty Outlook for South Africa : Annual Meetings 2026 Datasheet
Overview & Synopsis
Growth is expected to remain around 1 percent in 2026 before gradually strengthening through 2028, supported by improving infrastructure performance, although weaker external demand and higher oil prices will weigh on activity. The recovery will remain too weak to materially reduce unemployment or poverty. With public debt near 80 percent of GDP, maintaining fiscal consolidation while protecting growth-enhancing and inclusive spending remains critical.
