Accordingly, its regional reach and impact is critical to how the region evolves. Therefore we wish to deepen our understanding of South Africa’s trade, industrial and macroeconomic policies from two standpoints: their potential implications for economic growth and development in South Africa; and the impact that these policy stances may have on the region.
Our flagship project in this respect is that funded by the British High Commission entitled ‘Promoting Dialogue on Trade Reform in South Africa’, which has produced several events, opinion editorials, and a pipeline of research reports in the making.
