The IMF slightly hikes SA’s growth forecast In its World Economic Outlook (WEO) yesterday, the IMF said though the ongoing energy crisis would drag economic growth lower this year, avoiding a technical recession in the first quarter of 2023 had given the economy some hope. South Africa’s power utility, Eskom, has resumed implementing heightened levels of power cuts during peak hours as the current electricity generation struggles to meet rising demand after lower stages of loadshedding in June. “In South Africa, growth is expected to decline to 0,3% in 2023, with the decline reflecting power shortages, although the forecast has been revised upward by 0,2 percentage point since the April 2023 WEO, on account of resilience in services activity in the first quarter,” the IMF said. For 2024, the IMF said gross domestic product (GDP) would rebound to 1,7%, slightly lower than the 1,8% forecast in April.
