TIPS FDI Tracker (23)
The quarterly FDI Tracker monitors inward foreign direct investment projects. It monitors media and company reports on new FDI projects, analyses these, and adds them to an ongoing list of investment projects. Each project contains a range of policy relevant variables, including basic profiles of the project (including value and job data), assessments of policy aspects of the projects (such as the role of investment promotion programmes), and an assessment of the investor’s experience in entering the South African market.
Monitoring recorded 11 projects in the second quarter of 2024. The number of projects that published investment values was limited and only three projects account for the R8 billion recorded for the quarter. Furthermore, only one project reported on employment, announcing 200 temporary jobs. The Tracker further updated 17 pre-existing projects.
