Media representatives will receive embargoed data at 11:00 AM, allowing journalists to review the information ahead of the official release. No presentations or cameras will be allowed during this period. The press conference will officially commence at 11:30 AM, at which time the embargo will be lifted and Stats SA officials will present the results.
The briefing will take place at the Statistics South Africa building (ISIbalo House), 1 Koch Street, Salvokop, Pretoria. Journalists unable to attend in person can join the press conference online via Microsoft Teams, ensuring wide access to the data.
This Q2 GDP release is highly anticipated as it will offer critical insights into the performance of key sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, finance, mining, and services, highlighting areas of growth and sectors facing challenges.
