South Africa’s Aluminium foil export volume remains dwindling during 2017-20, revenue generation reflects growth

EDITED BY : RUPANKAR MAJUMDER 2MINS READ

South Africa has a mixed economy in which there is a variety of private freedom, combined with centralized economic planning and government regulation. South Africa is a member of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). The country’s GDP grew at an estimated 0.7% in 2019, down from 0.8% in 2018, and is projected to rise to 1.1% in 2020 and 1.8% in 2021 amid domestic and global downside risks. A contraction in agriculture and mining drove slow growth in 2019. Among the key sectors that keep South Africa's economic engine running are manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, financial services, transport, mining, agriculture and tourism.
