JOHANNESBURG， Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- South Africa is still not safe from junk status or recession despite recording a 3.3 percent increase in its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the second quarter of 2016， an economist said on Wednesday.


Richard Downing， chief economist with the South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SACCI)， told Xinhua that the growth was above expectations but conclusions could not be drawn from quarterly figures.


The 3.3-percent quarter-on-quarter growth was above the 2.7 percent that had been expected by most economists.


Downing said， "We are still not out of the woods， but still there in the grass and it's not clear where we are going to. We cannot make conclusions basing on quarterly figures but needs a longer period. The SA Reserve Bank (SARB) said we will have no growth this year but we might get slight growth at the end of the year."


Statistics South Africa announced on Tuesday that the growth was mainly driven by mining and quarrying and manufacturing sectors. This was the first time since the last quarter of 2014 that the GDP has grown by more than two percent. The year on year growth in the second quarter of 2016 is 0.6 percent. The GDP have grown by 0.3 percent for the first six months of this year.


Downing said South Africa needs to increase investment and achieve more economic growth.


"We need to increase the investment levels to achieve a growth rate. The public sector is supposed to ensure that the environment is suitable for growth by providing infrastructure. They have to enhance the social， political and economic growth. The private sector has to provide investment and move the economy forward， create employment and increase the tax base，" he said.


South Africa's business confidence is low and there is a need for the Treasury and SARB to work on that， Downing said.


The public spat between the Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan and the country's elite police， the Hawks， is not good for the country， he said.


There have been fears that Gordhan might be arrested by the Hawks for some alleged misdeeds committed when he was in charge of the country's tax authority， the South African Revenue Service.


Downing said， "The Treasury is a sensitive area as it plays an important role in the country. The same as the SARB. There should not be uncertainty in these areas. There have to be stability to support growth."


Relocating across the country can be quite an ordeal in terms of choosing moving companies Women's Brandon Scherff Jersey , auto transport companies and other complications. In many cases transporting your car or cars may be the biggest headache, as it may be of a special make requiring special accommodations to transfer to the new location. Before you contract with one firm or another, perhaps you should go over the actual logistics of relocating costs and considerations. Finding out ahead of time whether a move can be done quickly, securely Women's Montae Nicholson Jersey , and affordably is better than jumping in and moving, only to find out you could’ve done it better had you planned it out.


First of all, if you will be shipping your car and auto transport companies are going to be considered, will you use a truck Women's Samaje Perine Jersey , train, or air as a form of transport? Trucking would probably be the simplest and least expensive, especially if you opt for an open transfer (on a multi-vehicle truck). Train travel is a faster form of car shipping, but the speed will cost you more than the land route. By far Women's Fabian Moreau Jersey , the most expensive form of auto transport is by air – very often, the cost of the transport is equal to the cost of the car itself! Unless you are transporting a specialty car and needed in a hurry, use the other formats.


Secondly, is your company paying for your move? If they are Women's Ryan Anderson Jersey , they may include auto transport in your relocation policy. If that is the case then maybe no need to calculate the cost of logistics of working with auto transport companies yourself. If you trust the company, just let them do it. If there are aspects of how their package of services are set up that you’re dissatisfied with, find out if their package can be modified to ensure your car is transferred per your specifications. Or, if the job won’t budge Women's Jonathan Allen Jersey , you may have to opt for handling your move in your own custom way.


Next, apart from the issue of auto transport companies, are you using a moving company to relocate your household goods? If you already are setting up to work with a reputable mover, you might just ask if they happen to include car shipping as a specialty service. Depending on the company and situation Deshazor Everett Jersey , of good general mover might just offer a better deal than a dedicated auto transport firm. Since this is not their normal service and may in fact be out of their comfort zone, you may have to negotiate a special insurance or security arrangement to give you the same piece of mind that you would receive working directly with a full-service car shipping company.


Finally, it may be best to inquire with the moving company about what kind of auto transport companies they could refer you to. If you use a car shipping company recommended by your mover, it might be set up as an outsourcing assignment by the moving company Rob Kelley Jersey , such that the transfer of all your material items are being coordinated by the general mover. This will relieve you of many aspects of supervising and keeping track of the transporting process, so you can concentrate on other aspects (financial, family, social Zach Brown Jersey , etc.) of your relocation.
