Fast Facts

Fast Facts is published every month. It runs to between 16 and 32 pages. Each edition has a particular focus and regular annual editions include as examples a comparative review of socio-economic indicators for local government, a comparative review of provincial development trends, a review of skills and education, and a review of the budget. In addition each edition updates 170 social and economic indicators for South Africa. Fast Facts is also used a vehicle through which the Institute and its Unit for Risk Analysis can warn of forthcoming policy or legislative risks. Fast Facts is available in hard copy and online. Individual issues can be purchased online but a subscription is a far more cost effective way to obtain access to Fast Facts.
