Provincial Economic Review and Outlook 2013

The Provincial Economic Review and Outlook (PERO) is the annual research report which provides an objective review and analysis of past and estimated future economic growth and socio-economic development of the Western Cape. The Western Cape Government (WCG) is committed to growing the economy and alleviating poverty, through appropriate policy initiatives. This requires an improved understanding of the real economy, in particular of industry activity, their prospects and the constraints they face.
