# President Cyril Ramaphosa says there remains a disconnect between improved investor sentiment and greater investment. South Africa’s Gross Fixed Capital Formation has seen a steady decline since 2008. In his weekly newsletter, the president says this is due to the global financial crisis and the period of state capture, which progressively undermined private investment and business confidence. Ramaphosa says the government is aiming to narrow the gap between investment pledges, implementation, and, eventually, job creation.
