Structural constraints and deteriorating public finances are impacting SA's growth prospects negatively, with the International Monetary Fund revising down growth projections for the country.
The IMF on Monday published its world economic outlook for 2020. South Africa's growth has been revised down by 0.3 of a percentage point to 0.8%, compared to projections made in October 2019.
"Structural constraints and deteriorating public finances are holding back business confidence and private investment," the IMF said of SA's performance.

South Africa's downward revision pulled down growth expected for the sub-Saharan Africa region, where growth is expected to tick in at 3.5%. This is 0.1 of a percentage point lower than the October projection for the region. – Fin24
