— Primeserv releases annual results.

— RMB Holdings interims.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR:

January manufacturing and mining data are the main events to watch this week.

Investec Economist Kgotso Radira says conditions in the manufacturing sector continue to improve driven mainly by inventory build up and improving economic conditions.

“We expect manufacturing production to have increased by 5.5% y/y in February but conditions are seen as remaining challenging for most of H1.10. The key challenge for the sector in H2.10 will be the electricity tariff increases (24.8%), which will increase production costs and could reduce the sector’s global competitiveness.”
