JOHANNESBURG, April 18 (Reuters) - South African
business confidence fell further in March, with power blackouts,
rising interest rates and lower share prices on the Johannesburg
bourse among factors weighing on sentiment, data showed on
Tuesday.
The South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SACCI)
business confidence index dropped to 111.3 in March from 111.9
in February.
SACCI said in a statement that the lagged and knock-on
effects of electricity constraints on the economy and business
confidence were of major concern.
