Domestic outlookDomestic outlook Expect growth to be above that of 2000 Government fiscal policy only mildly expansionary Private sector consumption expenditure expected to remain
steady Private sector investment expected to rise Capacity utilisation rates not a cause for concern No immediate pressure on labour cost increases Current account is manageable, large deficit not expected Capital flows uncertain, but flows from Anglo/de Beers and
Telkom expected Exchange rate uncertain, unless hit by some contagion effects
of world economy slowdown.
Threats to inflation: Stronger than expected international downturn accompanied by sharp rise in domestic expenditure.
