Can South Africa Break 3% Growth?

An FBP-commissioned study of the conditions behind a public economic target.

Report extract

The FalconBridge 3% Monitor, from page 158 of the report, illustrates how findings can be connected to observable conditions.

The study examines the conditions behind a public growth target for South Africa: what would need to be true, in what sequence, and with what dependencies, for the target to be reached. It is an FBP-funded investigation through the Global Discovery Research System and is made available to readers as a demonstration of the research package.
