International BRIC and Africa Date: 2011/04/15	SA-BRIC seek shared stance in Sanya <p align='justify'>This week, a host of South African business leaders, policy makers and government representatives are gathering in Hainan to attend the BRICS summit. The summit, the third of its kind, and the first with South Africa as an official member, will be preceded by two business-oriented inter-BRICS seminars, and followed by the BOAO Forum for Asia. Quite clearly, in the week ahead, much of the world&#8217;s attention will be narrowed on Hainan.&#160;</p> <p align='justify'>South Africa can (and must) take advantage of this intense gaze. First and foremost, the summit is an opportunity for South Africa to orientate itself and lay the tracks for future advancement. In addition, a number of important global issues are on the agenda. While fluid BRICS consensus will prove to be elusive, a meeting of such important nations may surprise with some potent (and actionable) announcements.</p> <br><br> 44.0 KB Click to view report Authors: Simon Freemantle , Jeremy Stevens

South Africa Weekly Outlook Date: 2011/04/15	CPI takes the stage as rate debate heats up <ul><li><strong>Growth in mining production softened in February. </strong>Mining production growth eased to 2.8% y/y in February after a revised increase of 3.2% y/y in January. M/m mining production growth improved, with positive growth recorded (negative growth in January). If mining production had also edged up in March, it should have contributed to positive Q1:11 GDP growth.</li><li><strong>Some pressure points remain. </strong>In the first two months of 2011, liquidations were about 20% higher than the long-term average. Therefore, companies and close corporations are not out of the woods yet. At the start of 2011, insolvencies had eased further on a y/y basis (January data is the latest). Still, the seasonal effect seems to promise an upward &#8220;correction&#8221;. A rise in <em>insolvencies </em>and a further upward drift in <em>liquidations </em>(data due next week for <em>February </em>and <em>March </em>respectively) could highlight the fragile nature of SA&#8217;s economic recovery, in our view.</li><li><strong>March consumer price inflation (CPI) expected to have drifted higher. </strong>Following an increase of 3.7% y/y in February, we have pencilled in a 4.0% y/y increase in CPI for March. This is the highest-survey month, therefore, there are upside risks to this data &#8212; especially as food inflation is also expected to have picked up in March.</li></ul> <br><br> 44.0 KB Click to view report Authors: Shireen Darmalingam , Adriaan du Toit*
