"Even if the economy contracts 45% in the second quarter, down from a 2% contraction in the first quarter, expectation from this low bases for the third quarter growth is in the region of 18%.
"Even if you have a very muted fourth quarter the annual figure will only be around negative 10%," said Stofberg.
