The slower rise in price of goods towards the end of last year indicates that the sluggish economy was unlikely to recover in the last quarter of the year to boost the overall 2017 GDP growth number, research firm Stratlink Africa says in a new report.
The economy registered a year-on-year growth rate of 4.4 per cent in the third quarter of 2017, the slowest quarterly growth since the last three months of 2013.
