Introduction – Introduction – Economic ContextEconomic Context
The South African economy has displayed some resilience and continued to grow in the midst of a fragile global economic outlook. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 3.1% in 2011 and 2.7% and 3.2% in the first and second quarters of 2012 respectively.
The South African Reserve Bank’s leading indicator points to continued uncertainty within the next 6-12 months. Sectors with greater export exposure, particularly manufacturing and mining, are expected to perform less impressively in the coming months – held back by the euro zone debt crisis and global uncertainties.
As a result National Treasury forecasts the real DGP to grow by 2.5% in 2012 and 3% in 2013.
The South African Economy is gradually creating jobs after losing about 1 million jobs during the global recession in 2008/9; in the 12 months period between the third quarter of 2011 and the third quarter of 2012 , 327 000 jobs were created.

Sample monthly verification of assets will be conducted once the new system is fully implemented, with total verifications being conducted
