S&P projects the South African economy will shrink by 4.5 percent this year compared with the November 2019 estimate of growth of 1.6 percent.

Ramaphosa last week unveiled a large economic-support package totaling about R500 billion, which is about 10 percent of GDP. However, S&P said some of that can be financed by the IMF and other development lenders.
