Cape Town - The South African economy grew by 1.3% in 2017 compared to 2016 and following an increase of 2.3% in the third quarter of 2017. The annual growth exceeds National Treasury’s expectation of 1% growth announced during the National Budget Speech in February, Statistics SA said on Tuesday. "In a time when good news seems hard to come by, the latest gross domestic product (GDP) results provide some cautious cheer," Stats SA said in a statement. "After a wobbly start to 2017, which saw economic activity contract in the first quarter, the economy saw sustained growth for the remainder of the year. The fourth quarter experienced the highest growth rate of 2017, with the economy expanding by 3.1% quarter-on-quarter - seasonally adjusted and annualised." The strengthening in economic activity over 2017 was partly driven by an agriculture industry bouncing back from one of the worst droughts in recent history.

The Forex Trading Business Opportunity is Too Good to Resist Forex trading as a business opportunity is indeed a very appealing one. That hardly anyone wants to ignore. The promise of low operating costs, and the potential for good profits, is very good. It is in fact much superior to many other classic business opportunities. This is because the forex market is a global market. Where it is in fact possible to profit, on a global scale. Business models which focus too much on the local economy are inherently limited in what they can offer. This is because wealth, as defined by money, flows one way. More specifically it tends to flow from large geographical areas to small big city areas. And it constantly loses value, due to to inflation. In other words, money is not really indefinitely recycled. It goes around and around several times until its buying power is completely gone. This is why countries must have open borders for global trade. And to make it easier for businesses to impo...
