Textile clothing (-8.5%), food and beverage category (-4.2%), automobile and parts category (-3.4%), furniture manufacturing (-0.7%), wood paper making (-0.5%) and glass nonmetal (-0.4%) declined.


AbsaCapital economist JeffreySchultz pointed out that statistics show that the recovery of South Africa's manufacturing industry has been weak, and the recent strikes are frequent. We should take a conservative view of the third quarter's overall output and economic growth rate.

In the short term, the Reserve Bank of South Africa should not rush to raise interest rates.
