CAPE TOWN, Sept. 14 (Xinhua) -- Escalating political risks in South Africa leads to doubts whether the balance between risks and opportunities in the country is still favorable for businesses, according to a new study released on Thursday.
South Africa's risk score of 5.0 remains below the region's average, but the reward score of 4.6 is also low
Sergio Rodriguez 76ers Jersey , the Africa Risk-Reward Index shows.
The study is developed by Control Risks, a global risk and strategic consulting firm, in cooperation with Oxford Economics.
Whilst South Africa enjoys a deserved reputation as Africa's pre-eminent constitutional democracy, several of its key institutions have gradually weakened over the past decade
Nik Stauskas 76ers Jersey , says the study.
Economic prospects are closely linked to the outcomes of the ruling African National Congress' (ANC's) National Conference in December, in which a new party leader will be elected.
The forecasted real GDP growth of 0.5 percent for 2017 is below population growth and certainly insufficient to reduce South Africa's staggering 27.7-percent unemployment rate, says the study.
The study lists South Africa, Nigeria and and Egypt as stumbling African giants which will be surpassed by Kenya and Ethiopia.
Egypt has seen rising security risks and political instability recently
Moses Malone 76ers Jersey , while Nigeria has been hit by economic downturn and militancy, according to the study.
Ethiopia outperforms every African peer with its high reward score of 8.0, attracting 3.2 billion U.S. dollars of foreign direct investment in 2016 - more even than Nigeria, and double the figure for Morocco.
Kenya has achieved a period of strong GDP growth amid relative political stability: real GDP growth averaged at 6.0 percent in 2010-16. The 2017 growth forecast is at 5.4 percent.
Kenya and Ethiopia might soon outshine these heavy-hitters in the competition for investment
Michael Carter-Williams 76ers Jersey , the study concludes.
The Africa Risk-Reward Index helps investors to identify some of the more hidden investment opportunities in times where the heavy-hitters are struggling.

Since skateboarding is nowadays much more than just a fun sport, riders need to have proper balance and control while skateboarding so that they have a safe ride. To have better control on the board when riding you need to have a better grip
Maurice Cheeks 76ers Jersey , which to a great extent can be availed with skateboarding shoes that are specially designed to provide proper ankle support to keep you from rolling, twisting or springing your ankle. The grip on the board provided by skateboarding shoes is often not firm enough. In such cases, you need to buy skateboard grip tape and stick it on your board to have more grip, as a grip tape has an adhesive back that sticks to the board and the top is rough so that you can hold on steadily to the board
