The South African economy has performed relatively well in the aftermath of the Global Economic Crisis. Ebrahim Rasool, South Africa's ambassador to the United States, tells Knowledge@Wharton's Steve Sherretta that the country's "robust" banking system deserves much of the credit for the economic growth. Rasool also discussed the somewhat unique position South Africa applies as a vital bridge for global business. South Africa links the developing nations of Sub-Saharan Africa with Europe and the West. It also, as Rasool discusses, carries a great deal of responsibility for the economic good of an entire continent.
