The South African | 13.04.2026 13:41
South Africa slipped to 12 in 2026 in the Kearney FDI Confidence Index (FDI) from 7 in 2025. The index ranked 25 emerging market countries. The 2026 rank improved on the 17 rank in 2023 when load shedding was at its worst. In 2024 the ranking gained to 11 as load shedding eased substantially. The slippage in 2026 was largely due to the mining sector contraction.
