South African retail sales jump by 4.2%

from Kaya Biz · host Gugulethu Mfuphi

South African shoppers proved resilient to kick off 2026, as data from Statistics South Africa showed a jump in retail sales of 4.2% in January. FNB senior economist Siphamandla Mkhwanazi warns that while this points to stabilization in the local consumer economy, upward growth is constrained by affordability constraints and uneven spending growth.
