# President Cyril Ramaphosa says South Africa is one of many economies vying for investment at a time when many investors are unsure about the direction of the world economy. In his weekly newsletter, he says the global landscape has become increasingly uncertain and competitive. Ramaphosa says progress is being made in removing impediments to investment, as investments cannot be realised under conditions of policy uncertainty. He adds that the government is taking decisive steps to root out corruption, prevent extortion at construction sites, and break the back of the illicit economy.
