Abstract: According to the estimates of the African Development Bank (AfDB), the OECD and the UNDP, the economic activity in the Republic of South Africa, the third largest economy on the continent, after Nigeria and Egypt, will continue to decline in 2016 amid problems regarding the power supply, low commodity prices and low consumer and business confidence in the economy, a recovery in the GDP growth being projected for 2017. Unemployment, corruption, and socioeconomic inequalities are the main threats to a long-term macroeconomic stability.
