JOHANNESBURG, June 26 (Reuters) - The South African Reserve Bank's monthly
leading business cycle indicator declined 1.5 percent in April compared with
March mainly because of deteriorating business confidence and the growth rate of
M1 money supply, a survey showed on Tuesday.
The indicator collates data such as vehicle sales, job advertisements,
business confidence and money supply to gauge the economic outlook.
