Listen "SA gets its first credit upgrade in 20 years."

Episode Synopsis

For the first time in two decades, South Africa has been handed a long-awaited credit rating upgrade and it’s more than just symbolic. We speak to Sanisha Packirisamy, Chief Economist at Momentum Investments, to unpack what S&P’s move really means for the economy, for investors, and for every South African household.

From stronger fiscal numbers and a stabilising debt path, to improved confidence in the post-greylist, load-shedding-free era, the upgrade signals a country turning a corner. Kaya FM
