This book examines themacroeconomic and regulatory impact of domestic and international shocks onthe South African economy resulting from the 2009 financial crisis.It also assesses the impact of the US economy's eventual recovery from the crisis and the prospect of higher US interest rates in future.

Told in three parts, the book explores associations between economic growth, policy uncertainty and the key domestic and international transmission channels, and transmission effects, of global financial regulatory and domestic macro-economic uncertainties on subdued and volatile economic recovery, financial channels, lending rate margins, and credit growth. The book concludes by extending its focus to the role of US monetary policy, capital flows and rand/US dollar volatility on the South African economy.
