The composite leading business cycle indicator in South Africa fell by 0.3% from a month earlier in April of 2022, following an upwardly revised 1% rise in March, as decreases in 5 of the 10 available component time series outweighed increases in the remaining 5. The largest detractors were a deceleration in the six-month smoothed growth rate of new passenger vehicle sales and a decrease in the US dollar-denominated export commodity price index. On the other hand, there was an acceleration in the six-month smoothed growth rate of job advertisement space and a widening in the interest rate spread. source: South African Reserve Bank
