The South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SACCI) business confidence index edged down to 134.3 in September 2026 from 135.1 in August, but stayed near its highest level since June 2011. The chamber noted that rising energy costs remained a key concern for businesses by pushing up operating expenses and putting pressure on profitability. Local gasoline prices climbed to a fresh record in October, placing households and businesses under renewed strain. However, higher precious-metal prices, together with stronger tourism activity and vehicle sales, helped support business confidence compared with a year earlier. source: South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SACCI)
