The National Development Plan is targeting export volume growth of 6 percent a year, to achieve an annual increase in real Gross Domestic Product, or GDP growth of about 5.5 percent and to help generate 11 million new jobs by 2030. Despite successes in some subsectors, South Africa will need to greatly improve its export performance to meet these targets. The report highlights opportunities for growth, particularly with Sub-Saharan Africa being the largest market for non-mineral exports. It also explores strategic directions that can ignite export growth and help South Africa realize its goals of creating jobs and reducing poverty and inequality.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTINGADVANCED ECONOMIESADVERSE SHOCKSAGRICULTUREANNUAL GROWTHBALANCE OF PAYMENTSBANKING SECTORBASIS POINTSBASKET OF GOODSBILATERAL TRADEBILLBONDSBUDGET DEFICITBUSINESS CONFIDENCECAPITAL FLOWSCAPITAL INFLOWSCAPITAL INVESTMENTCAPITAL OUTFLOWCAPITAL OUTFLOWSCAPITAL OUTLAYSCAPITAL STOCKCOMMODITY MARKETSCOMMODITY PRICECOMMODITY PRICESCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECOMPETITION POLICYCOMPETITIVENESSCONFIDENCE INDEXCONSOLIDATIONCONSUMER CONFIDENCECONSUMER DURABLESCONSUMER PRICE INDEXCONSUMER PRICE INFLATIONCONSUMERSCONSUMPTION EXPENDITURECONSUMPTION GROWTHCONSUMPTION SPENDINGCORE INFLATIONCREDIT MARKETCURRENT ACCOUNTCURRENT ACCOUNT BALANCECURRENT ACCOUNT BALANCESCURRENT ACCOUNT DEFICITCURRENT ACCOUNT DEFICITSCUSTOMS UNIONDEBTDEBT BURDENDECELERATION IN GROWTHDEFLATIONDEPRECIATIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRYDISCOURAGED WORKERSDISTORTIONSDIVERSIFIED EXPORT BASEDIVERSIFIED MARKETSDOMESTIC BONDDOMESTIC DEMANDDOMESTIC ECONOMYDOMESTIC MARKETDOMESTIC MARKETSDOMESTIC PRICEDOMESTIC PRICE LEVELSDOMESTIC PRICESDOMESTIC SAVINGSDOWNWARD PRESSUREDRAG ON GROWTHDURABLEDURABLE GOODSECONOMIC COOPERATIONECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTSECONOMIC ENVIRONMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC OUTLOOKECONOMIC PERFORMANCEECONOMIC RESEARCHEFFECTIVE EXCHANGE RATEEFFECTIVE EXCHANGE RATESEMERGING MARKETEMERGING MARKETSENTRY BARRIERSEQUIPMENTEQUITIESEQUITY MARKETSEXCESS CAPACITYEXCHANGE RATEEXCHANGE RATE MOVEMENTSEXCHANGE RATESEXPORT CAPACITYEXPORT COMPETITIVENESSEXPORT EARNINGSEXPORT GROWTHEXPORT MARKETEXPORT MARKETSEXPORT PERFORMANCEEXPORT VOLUMEEXPORT VOLUMESEXPORTEREXPORTERSEXPORTSEXTERNAL DEMANDFEDERAL RESERVEFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL MARKETFISCAL POLICYFIXED CAPITALFIXED COSTSFOOD PRICESFORECASTSFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTGDP PER CAPITAGLOBAL MARKETGLOBAL MARKETSGOVERNMENT DEFICITSGOVERNMENT FINANCEGOVERNMENT POLICYGOVERNMENT SUPPORTGRAVITY MODELGROSS FIXED CAPITAL FORMATIONGROWTH PERFORMANCEGROWTH RATEGROWTH RATESHIGH-INCOME COUNTRIESHUMAN CAPITALIMBALANCESIMPORTIMPORT COSTSIMPORT DEMANDIMPORT GROWTHIMPORTSINCOMEINDEBTEDNESSINFLATIONINTEREST PAYMENTSINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL CAPITALINTERNATIONAL CAPITAL FLOWSINTERNATIONAL TRADEINVENTORIESINVENTORYINVESTMENT GOODSINVESTMENT LEVELSINVESTMENT POLICYINVESTMENT RISKLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLABOR MARKETSLOCAL MARKETSLOOSE MONETARY POLICYMARKET COMPETITIONMARKET CONDITIONSMARKET PRICESMARKET SHAREMARKET SHARESMONETARY FUNDMONETARY POLICYMULTIPLIER EFFECTMUTUAL FUNDSNATIONAL TREASURYNET DEBTNET EXPORTSNOMINAL EXCHANGE RATEOIL PRICESOUTPUT GAPOUTTURNOUTTURNSPER CAPITA INCOMEPOLICY RESPONSESPOPULATION GROWTHPORTFOLIOPORTFOLIO CAPITALPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRICE LEVELSPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRODUCTION COSTSPRODUCTIVITY GROWTHPUBLIC INVESTMENTREAL EFFECTIVE EXCHANGE RATEREAL EXCHANGE RATEREAL EXCHANGE RATE MOVEMENTSREAL EXPORTREAL EXPORT GROWTHREAL GDPREAL INTERESTREAL INTEREST RATESRECESSIONREGIONAL MARKETREGIONAL MARKETSRESERVERESERVE BANKRETURNRETURNSSHORT-TERM CAPITALSLOWDOWNSTANDARD DEVIATIONSTOCK EXCHANGESTOCK MARKETSSUPPLY-SIDETAXTAX INCENTIVETAX REVENUESTOTAL EXPORTSTOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITYTRADE AGREEMENTSTRADE BALANCETRADE COMPETITIVENESSTRADE DATATRADE DEFICITTRADE FACILITATIONTRADE LAWTRADE LIBERALIZATIONTRADE PATTERNSTRADE POLICYTRADE STATISTICSTRADINGTRADING PARTNERSTRANSACTIONTREASURIESTROUGHUNCERTAINTYUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT RATEVALUE ADDEDWAGESWORLD DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS10.1596/17578
