Current global economic changes have created the right conditions for businesses to capitalise on the unique and exciting opportunities available within South Africa (SA) and reaching into Africa. Furthermore, as one of the more significant emerging markets, SA is moving closer to peers such as China, India and Brazil, and continues to offer opportunities for inbound investment, business expansion and other commercial activities at a time when some of the more mature first world markets are under strain. In this regard, SA’s position is further strengthened by the government’s continued initiatives in areas such as Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) and infrastructural development, as well as the positive spin-offs resulting from SA hosting the 2010 Soccer World Cup. Moreover, SA’s sound banking system provides a platform on which to conclude and finance a wide range of commercial transactions.
