Details of the dataset

The African Economic Outlook dataset is a comprehensive resource that provides detailed economic analysis at both the country and regional level.

The dataset is provided by the African Development Bank Group, and it’s part of their broader effort to examine recent macroeconomic developments and the outlook in Africa. The report focuses on the implications of external imbalances for growth and the financial and monetary challenges of integration.

The dataset includes various metrics such as Real GDP growth in Africa, Energy subsidies as a share of nominal GDP, and Contribution to GDP growth in Africa, by region. These metrics can provide valuable insights into the economic conditions and trends in different African countries and regions.

The dataset is available in CSV format, which can be easily imported into most data analysis and visualization tools. This makes it a valuable resource for policy makers, investors, researchers, NGOs, and journalists who are interested in African economic trends and developments.

In 2024, the growth of the real gross domestic product (GDP) in South Africa was estimated at about 0.58 percent. Between 1980 and 2024, the figure dropped by approximately 6.04 percentage points, though the decline followed an uneven course rather than a steady trajectory. The forecast shows the growth will steadily grow by around 1.23 percentage points from 2024 to 2030.This indicator describes the annual change in the gross domestic product at constant prices, expressed in national currency units. Here the gross domestic product represents the total value of the final goods and services produced during a year.

TThe ERS International Macroeconomic Data Set provides historical and projected data for 181 countries that account for more than 99 percent of the world economy. These data and projections are assembled explicitly to serve as underlying assumptions for the annual USDA agricultural supply and demand projections, which provide a 10-year outlook on U.S. and global agriculture. The macroeconomic projections describe the long-term, 10-year scenario that is used as a benchmark for analyzing the impacts of alternative scenarios and macroeconomic shocks.

Up until 2014-2015, the South African property market was all about sellers and landlords seeking high rents, especially in two key markets, Johannesburg and Cape Town. However, since then it has become a buyer’s market with overall revenues of property owning and letting expected to fall from 12.7 billion U.S. dollars in 2017 to 11.5 billion U.S. dollars in 2023. A struggling economy, much political noise and a resultant lack of discretionary spending are the three key reasons for the slump in prices. The impact has been mainly felt in the high-end segment with investors opting out and only actual users completing transactions. Foreign buying, which earlier accounted for a significant portion of market revenues is also on the wane, with more of this consumer segment actually looking to sell. The Covid-19 outbreak has plunged the South African economy deep into recession with a recovery over the short to medium term unlikely. However, this doesn’t augur badly for the property market as a whole. In fact, the interest rate cut by the central bank in January, along with an increase in the transfer duty threshold to R1 million and personal income tax relief, is likely to boost the lower segment and result in more buyers.
