# Business Leadership South Africa says recent developments, including a credit rating upgrade, improved port performance in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, and stronger-than-expected gross domestic product growth, show that reforms are starting to work. However, the organisation warns investment remains too low at just 13.5-percent of gross domestic product, far below the 30-percent target needed to drive stronger growth. In her weekly newsletter, the organisation’s CEO, Busisiwe Mavuso, said lingering policy uncertainty, weak investor confidence, and global economic pressures are holding back progress.
