Market experts warn of the potential consequences of policy uncertainty following the recent elections. With no clear majority government, coalition formation remains uncertain, leading to market jitters. A coalition with leftist parties could deter investors due to their policies favoring increased state intervention. Conversely, aligning with right-leaning parties may offer short-term market stability. However, regardless of the outcome, South Africa requires structural reforms to address issues like electricity shortages and unemployment for sustained economic growth.
