According to a statement on The Presidency, leading academics, economists, anthropologists and scientists, including Presidential Economic Advisory Council members, collaborated to produce a voluminous study of the structure of the South African economy in its varied sectors and industries. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Printed by the Oxford University Press, the 47-chapter Handbook of the South African Economy outlines the country\u2019s history, political economy and key challenges.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The publication also profiles such sectors and issues as energy, the environment, trade, industry, regulation, the labour market, income distribution, social policy and the macro economy.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Handbook of the South African Economy offers diverse analytical perspectives and debates that have implications for policymakers in the current climate of constrained economic growth in a COVID-19 pandemic era, weak economic transformation and the challenges of inequality and unemployment,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n
The launch of the Handbook is set to be live streamed on all Presidency and government digital platforms.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
