Free Market Foundation says B-BBEE policies are hindering investment

# The Free Market Foundation is warning that domestic policy choices are undermining investor confidence. It highlights the Employment Equity Act and the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act as policies that are creating regulatory uncertainty and limiting business flexibility. The foundation says when businesses are subject to shifting policies, rigid compliance requirements, and expanding obligations, confidence declines. It adds that South Africa cannot expect to attract meaningful investment while undermining the very conditions that make investment possible.
