The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has lowered its 2015 growth forecasts for commodity exporters, including South Africa, saying the projected growth rebound for commodity-exporting developing countries will be weaker than had been forecast in the fund’s October World Economic Outlook (WEO). The WEO Update, released on January 20, lowered South Africa’s 2015 gross domestic product (GDP) projection to 2.1% from 2.3% in October, which was in line with the IMF’s 2014 Article IV Staff Report on South Africa released in December. The fund decreased its 2016 GDP growth projection for South Africa by 0.3 of a percentage point to 2.5%.
