Abstract

South Africa's real GDP expanded for the sixth consecutive quarter in 2026Q1. This is the longest expansion since 2017/18, partly because structural reforms are finally bearing fruit. But growth is still slow. After expanding last year, investment spending contracted again. The global environment is also very complicated. These factors make maintaining reform momentum urgent.
