An informed keynote address by Dr Roelof Botha

In the midst of unprecedented exchange rate volatility during 2016, the South African currency slowly but surely started to shed its undervalued status.

In the process, the rand has been one of the best-performing currencies in the world over the past 12 months, strengthening by 21% against the US dollar.

This outcome was accurately predicted by Dr Roelof Botha (part-time economic advisor to PwC) in January last year.

His current research indicates a number of reasons to believe that the rand will experience a relatively stable 2017, SA bonds will retain their investment grade status and that economic growth may surprise on the upside.
