The South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s (SACCI) monthly business confidence index (BCI) stood at 92.9 in October from 93.0 in September.

“The BCI reflects the neutral sentiment in the market place,” SACCI said in a statement. “It appears that South Africa is not currently in a position to take advantage of the improving global economic climate.”

Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba unveiled a gloomy economic outlook in his medium term budget speech on Oct. 25, as he lowered growth forecasts and projected rising debt levels.
