Abstract
This City of Johannesburg's (CoJ) economic overview presents a review of the state of the city's economy at August 2013. The review was based on a critical review of published literature, statistics from Statistics South Africa, CoJ, Global Insight and other sources. The study was conducted by the Economic Performance and Development (EPD) Research Unit of the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC). This was in response to a request by the City for a study on the impacts of rates on residents and business in CoJ.The book presents findings from phase 11 , whose main objective was to provide a review of the state of the CoJ's economy. The review of the city's state of the economy also covered the following areas: the city's demographic profile, employment condition, service delivery indicators, the role and state of tourism as well as crime. The analysis presented in the book does not only shed light on the city's economic potential to drive the South African economy, but can also guide policy directions in the city. The economic overview is aimed at assisting the city with its long-term planning towards economic development as stated in its Growth and Development Strategy (GDS 2040) and the Integrated Development Plan (IDP). The review also shows the importance of the city's economy in both provincial and South African economies.-
