Although it is considered historic, the Q2 GDP data will be released this week and is expected to reflect a slight
improvement in activity. The absence of load-shedding was one important development, while some
improvements in commodity prices also contributed to help generate a modest improvement in economic activity.
Furthermore, the agricultural industry contributed positively to overall GDP growth through improved crop yields,
which will help stabilise GDP growth ahead of the upcoming rate cuts and boost overall economic activity a little
further.
