119 SA GDP and growth

The South African economy expanded an annualized 0.7 percent on quarter in the three months to September of 2015, recovering from a 1.3 percent contraction in the previous period and boosted by a rebound in manufacturing and wholesale and retail trade. However, figures came below market expectations of a 1.1 percent growth and lower than a 2.1 percent expansion seen a year earlier as the drop in commodity prices keeps dragging the mining sector down. GDP Growth Rate in South Africa averaged 2.99 percent from 1993 until 2015, reaching an all time high of 7.60 percent in the fourth quarter of 1994 and a record low of -6.10 percent in the first quarter of 2009.
