Introduction
Due to the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic, South Africa was put on hard lockdown in
March 2020. This meant that business operations in all sectors came to an abrupt stop and
only the ones characterised as the ones providing “essential” services continued to operate.
This adversely impacted the economy and the purpose of this report is to assess the extent to
which economic growth was hindered by covid 19 in the year 2020 compared to the year
2019.
