South Africa's SACCI business confidence index fell to 92.8 in November of 2021 from 94.9 in October, as a new omicron coronavirus variant was discovered and restrictions among the nation’s major trading partners led to a slump in both exports and imports. “The disclosure by South African scientists sparked greater concern and negatively impacted the business climate. These announcements should be made with greater circumspection taking account of broader implications. Hopefully the rushed decisions by other countries on travel restrictions will be tempered as more information on the omicron variant emerges”, the chamber said. Higher inflation and uncertainty over energy supply were also major contributors to the decline in business confidence. source: South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SACCI)

South Africa SACCI Business Morale at 1-Year Low
South Africa's SACCI business confidence index fell to 91 in September of 2021 from 91.9 in the previous month but still above pre-pandemic levels. It was the lowest reading since September of 2020, amid a decline in retail sales, manufacturing output and the real value of building plans passed. "Energy and water supply concerns, with increased utility tariffs, and higher fuel prices were also major contributors to a wary business outlook. Secure energy supply generally remains a crucial concern to the business community", Sacci said. The decrease was partly offset by exceptional improved year-on-year merchandise export volumes, a stronger rand exchange rate and an increased number of new vehicles sold.

It was the lowest reading since last October, reflecting the negative impact of several days of civil unrest in some parts of the country. "The spate of looting and destruction during July in certain areas of South Africa, whatever the intention, was a setback to inclusivity, growth and job creation," SACCI said.
