A guide to establishing a presence in South Africa
Establishing a presence in South Africa is Grant Thornton’s practical guide discussing the most important aspects relating to business investment in our country.
South Africa is an emerging market which operates in a combined first and second world economy. With the global financial crisis affecting economies around the globe, it seems that South Africa has been spared the worst of the crisis. Notwithstanding this, South Africa has experienced a dramatic slowdown in growth from 5% in 2007 to a predicted 1,2% in 2009.One of the factors that has fortified South Africa’s economy is the upcoming 2010 FIFA World Cup for which we will be the first African host country.
South Africa is the gateway to sub-Saharan Africa. With excellent transport infrastructure and world-class ports, South Africa is ideally positioned to facilitate expansion plans in this region.
