Tarnished Hopes
Article Abstract:
South Africa economists are forecasting continued recession into 1985. The reason for the lingering economic recession is the fall in the price of gold. Gold contributes to half of the countries export earnings. A reflationary fiscal policy to fight recession cannot be employed. Government spending is too high, and taxes must be raised.
