Situational Analysis (January to March 2018) There was improvement overall in the economy between January 2018 and March 2018. The SA Reserve Bank indicated a moderate improvement in the inflation rate supported by an appreciation of the Rand. The political developments in this period as well as the ratings by rating agency Moody’s supported the strengthening of the Rand. Consumer confidence also seen an upswing in the first three months of 2018 as reported by the FNB/BER Consumer Confidence Index. However, the translation of this improved confidence to increased spending is yet to be seen as unemployment still remains high. Income from employment, family contributions and pensions contracted in 2017 leaving consumers strained financially. Unemployment affects 1 in 4 South Africans, and 1 in 3 of 18-24 year olds. This means that the there is a burden on the employed population to support the unemployed and hence we have a higher level of dependency. This has far reaching effect especially on discretionary items of which travel is such an item.
