3.4 PARAGRAPH FX
HOW A WEAK RAND CAN HELP TO ALLEVIATE POVERTY AND
UNEMPLOYMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA.
A weak rand will attract more inbound international tourists to
South Africa. When inbound international tourists spend more in South
Africa, a greater demand for tourism products and services is created.
They will get more value for their money and therefore more spending within
the local economy. (6)
• More international tourists will come to South Africa, they will spend more,
thus alleviating poverty and reducing unemployment.
• When the rand is weak, inbound international tourists will receive more
rand for their currency, giving them greater spending power in South
Africa.
• An increased demand will lead to a growth in the GDP.
• More job opportunities are created.
• Improved standard of living for the people of South Africa.
