OUR PLAN - Transnet

WHAT THE MDS
MEANS FOR
SOUTH AFRICA
SOUTH AFRICA is highly integrated with the world economy,
which plays a central role in shaping our economic prospects.
Since 2000, the world has experienced unusually strong
economic cycles and shocks, and these have been reflected
in domestic demand and GDP growth. In the near term, South
Africa will be affected by international trade and investment
trends, and is vulnerable to slowing global demand.
