About a 10th of the targeted measures South Africa requires to tackle anemic economic growth have been fully implemented over the past 18 months, a new tracker showed.

The gauge, developed by research firm Krutham for Business Leadership South Africa, reflects a “good news” story, with 26 reform deliverables reported as complete out of about 240 that were required, the lobby group’s Chief Executive Officer Busi Mavuso said in a foreword to the Reform Momentum Indicator.
