Market update

Investment growth exceeded expectations this year. We regularly see growth rates of above 20%. The fact that the ALSI did 40% this year helped a lot. Remember we started below 80000 points in December last year.

The economic indicators showed us the business trusted their ability to make profit again in this environment. The concern is that R1600 billion is still held in banks and financial statements and not invested. Export figures are up. Even job creation picked up slightly.

Looking forward the “good” news is the forecast/expectation of an ALSI growth of 18% in 2026. That stimulates positivity. Adding on is the fact that the inflation rate dropped and stabilized on18% below the high rate. This helps business confidence.

It is time for Christmas time with less worries about our investments.

Blessings to you in the Christmas time and enjoy it with family and friends.
