What The Volatility Really Means
With movement this mixed, it is worth being skeptical of anyone drawing a strong conclusion from just the start and end points.
2017 stands out sharply — 29% in one year is well outside what the rest of the series does. Worth a quick check for whether something specific happened that year, rather than taking the number at face value.
Worth pairing this with the same indicator for a handful of comparable economies before concluding anything about South Africa specifically — a move that looks large here can be the regional norm, or genuinely unusual, and this chart alone can't say which.
Check the source link for methodology before quoting a specific year from this chart — South Africa's underlying statistics agency, like most, revises and re-estimates historical figures as better data comes in.
