  • South Africa has long struggled with its reputation as a volatile and risky emerging market, but it is now becoming a favorite among investors seeking to navigate a world with Donald Trump as the US president.

The article from BusinessTech discusses how former US President Donald Trump's potential return to office could benefit South Africa economically. It highlights that Trump's previous term saw a significant increase in US stock market performance, which could positively impact South African investments in the US. Additionally, Trump's policies favored deregulation and tax cuts, which might encourage more US companies to invest in South Africa, potentially boosting sectors like mining and manufacturing. The article also notes that Trump's "America First" approach might lead to less stringent trade policies, possibly allowing South Africa more leeway in international trade negotiations. However, it acknowledges the unpredictability of Trump's policies, suggesting that while there could be economic advantages, there are also risks due to his volatile approach to international relations and trade.
