  • Economic study South Africa (September 2013)

    South Africa has natural resources in abundance. They form the basis of its economy, as evidenced by its modern farms and intensive mining activity. The country also has a wide range of services, especially in the financial sector.

    The current government has made the continuous improvement of the transport, energy and communication infrastructure one of its spearheads. In this way, it wants to meet the growing need for modernisation and make full use of the country's pre-eminent position on the international trade scene.

    The Belgian economic mission to South Africa from 20 to 27 October 2013, the first to be presided by HRH Princess Astrid, will focus on three very dynamic areas, namely diamonds, infrastructure and renewable energy.

    This study was realised on the occasion of the Belgian economic mission to Angola and South Africa in October 2013.
