Fixed investment in KwaZulu-Natal had a good first quarter in 2013 and showed strength despite a lot of negative economic news, according to the latest Fixed Investment Monitor as compiled by Mike Schüssler of Economists.co.za. Although there are several negative aspects in the KwaZulu-Natal economy and in the fixed investment sphere, the province’s total investment index grew 4.8% year-on-year in March, its best performance in six months. Quarter-on-quarter total fixed investment in KwaZulu-Natal was up 3.6%.
