Warum es wichtig ist
The yearly rate is less noisy than the quarterly change and is the figure most people mean by "economic growth". It shapes the earnings outlook for local companies, tax revenue, and the South African Reserve Bank's view of how much spare capacity the economy has.
So wird gerechnet
Statistics South Africa compares real GDP (after inflation) with the same quarter or year before; full-year figures sum the four quarters.
Growth (yoy) = real GDP ÷ real GDP a year ago − 1Was Veränderungen bedeuten
- Growth above the country's trend (about 1–2% for advanced economies, more for emerging ones) tends to raise inflation pressure.
- Annual growth turns only slowly; the quarterly figure shows turning points earlier.
Höher als erwartet: A stronger figure than expected points to a healthier economy: it usually supports the South African rand and local stocks, and can push bond yields up.
Niedriger als erwartet: A weaker figure than expected points to slowing activity: the South African rand tends to soften and markets price in lower rates.
Eine kurze Geschichte
Annual national accounts spread after the Second World War under the UN System of National Accounts (first edition 1953).
