- South Africa mulls tax cuts to boost industrial growth
South Africa is considering tax cuts in special economic zones (SEZs) to revive industrial growth, aligning with World Bank recommendations. The plan aims to extend a 15% corporate tax rate to all SEZs, attract foreign investors like Rio Tinto and Ardagh Group, and unlock $109 billion in corporate cash amid declining manufacturing output. Morocco recently surpassed South Africa as Africa’s most industrialized economy.
