Why isn't South Africa Growing Faster? : A Comparative Approach / Luc Eyraud.

The study finds that sluggish investment has undermined growth since 1996 and that the underinvestment is in part explained by limited saving. Thus, over the last decade, interactions between investment, saving, and production may have perpetuated slow growth in South Africa.
