South Africa Strategy Outlook - Selective opportunities

​Valuations still not compelling as earning yields remain well below domestic bond yields and yields in the wider Emerging Markets space.

EPS growth in real terms has been disappointing as the bulk of nominal growth has been eroded by high inflation.

Real GDP growth expected to remain tepid in 2017 at 1.2% with risks tilted more the downside.

Fiscal deficit reduction plan mainly hinges on tax increases, due to lack of spending prioritization, with additional tax hikes expected next year.
