The best must be made of South Africa’s fortuitous commodity windfall
South Africa’s commodity windfall, according to Old Mutual Investment Group, is expected to seep into the broader economy, boosting banks, retailers and property stocks as stronger prices improve the fiscal outlook and support lower interest rates. This is fortuitous and the best should be made of it by streamlining public-sector administration, addressing long-standing red tape issues and ensuring more affordable energy access.
Luckily, the cheapest electricity that South Africa can produce is green and clean. Against that backdrop, private-sector energy generation and transmission doors should be opened to the widest possible extent by making full use of the platforms already in place to link public need to private capital as a means of accelerating South Africa’s clean energy transition optimally.
