Foreigners are pulling their money out of South Africa, JSE warns

[I think I've posted this before, but it's important enough for a repost. Jan]The Johannesburg Stock Exchange has raised concerns about the capital outflows from South Africa, which has steadily increased over the last few years.
In a written submission to parliament on Treasury’s new tax bills, the JSE said South Africa’s macro environment has deteriorated over the past five years. All three global rating agencies lowered their ratings of South Africa’s sovereign credit standing in 2020.
As a result, South Africa has either exited key global indices or become severely diluted, it said.
“The effect of this negative macro environment has been significant net outflows in trading by foreigners in South African bonds and equities.
“It is our view that limiting the re-use of collateral will lead to a significant decline in liquidity in the South African capital markets, the diminished attractiveness of South Africa as an investment destination and further capital outflows.”
These concerns were echoed by JSE chief executive Leila Fourie who said that the rate of capital leaving the country is the one thing that keeps her awake at night.
Fourie told BusinessDay that South Africa needs to do more to make an investment case for the country,
“I sleep very well normally, but if something were to steal my sleep from me, it would be foreign flows,” she said.
“I am concerned about the disinvestment from SA, and I think as a country we need to do more to put out a positive narrative and to start to create a coalition of the willing between the public and private sector to try and crowd in more financial support and more inbound investment.”

This is about a very kickass White man in S.Africa who was fighting crime on a big scale. I knew him and liked him. But the Black Government feared that White Security Companies would be able to overthrow the Government so they set out to destroy him.

I discuss Whites who are out of their depth and helpless when they realise with horror the truth about Liberalism and Capitalism. I also talk about how Whites are caught up in fake problems that are the result of having so many moral factors that they need to take into account. Even here in South Africa we have helpless urban Whites who get flustered over nothing.
