March 2011 ISSUE 87

This month TradeInvestSA looks at some of the risks involved when investment flows influence currency strength. We look back at some of the major economic news to emerge from 2010 and what the priorities are for 2011 and beyond. SA continues to seek investment in a number of sectors and the incentive schemes outlined by government will hopefully be the catalyst.

FEATURE ARTICLES:

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES:
