Moody's & GCR South Africa Risk Summit
Explore our insights on developments shaping credit quality for debt issuers across emerging markets: US policy shifts and geopolitical realignments; increased differentiation in economic growth, financial conditions and currency volatility; domestic policies; commodity prices; debt levels, liquidity and defaults; social and environmental risks; and more. If it affects credit and emerging economies – from Asia-Pacific to Latin America to Central and Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East – we are on it.
A sharp policy shift has helped restore economic growth and lower inflation, but significant risks remain from an outsized credit expansion mixed with weakening household incomes.
Easing inflation will enable a gradual policy rate reduction, but economic uncertainties will persist in a presidential election year, straining banks' operating environment.
Easing inflation, further policy rate cuts and improving labor conditions will consolidate improvements in consumer confidence and driver banking business.
Higher economic growth from consumption and government spending, while private investment remains weak. Loan growth reflects a cautious risk appetite.
Subdued growth from policy and trade-related uncertainties will limit investments and job prospects. Asset risk deteriorating amid incumbents' strong competition with new entrants.
Favorable trade terms and a dynamic labor market will sustain household income and credit demand, despite election uncertainty.
Read our latest insights on the developments shaping credit conditions and credit quality for emerging market debt issuers across the globe.
