January 2010 ISSUE 73

This month TradeInvestSA looks back at South Africa in 2009 and examines some of the pertinent topics that arose. The recession had a definitive effect on the South African economy and this was an underlying influence in almost all trade and investment interaction. We then look forward to 2010 and the possible recovery of the South African economy, together with the investment opportunities on offer.

FEATURE ARTICLES:
With 2010 around the corner and most South Africans reflecting on a year that has seen an economic recession that spared very few, what does the New Year hold in store for us?
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES:
The South African interior design industry has had much success over the past few years. With a growing middle class, this service has become ever more sought after. Miranda Meyer Interiors is one such interior design company with a great track record and we look at their Nautica beachfront property, which is situated in the heart of the world famous Garden Route, in Mossel Bay.
