Don’t bet against the rand
Update: 2024-08-29
Description
In this podcast discussion Old Mutual Chief economist Johann Els explains why he believes we could see the rand strengthen to R14/R15 to the USD.
He explains how a softer US dollar, combined with better growth prospects in emerging economies, could lead to a stronger rand. This is particularly relevant for investors looking to balance their portfolios. Els discusses his overall economic outlook and the potential of economic growth. Given the current economic climate, Els suggests that local investments offer better returns and lower risks and why one should be overweight in South African investments as opposed to offshore investments.
We discuss the broader economic outlook for South Africa. With a focus on private sector growth, improved fiscal policies, and potential upgrades in investment grade ratings, there are several reasons to be optimistic about the country's economic future.
