Die ekonomie minuut episodes

November 18, 2022 Hoë-frekwensie vragvervoerdata wys dat die wêreld-ekonomie stadiger groei
Baie van die aanwysers waaroor ek gereeld praat word met ŉ redelike sloering bekend gemaak. Die week se kleinhandel verkopesyfers is Septembermaand se data. Daar is ongelukkig min hoë-frekwensie data wat sê wat nou in die ekonomie aangaan. Een van die uitsonderings is BUSA en die vereniging van vragvervoerders se weeklikse nuusbrief en dit is vol interessanthede.

November 18, 2022 High-frequency cargo movement data shows the global economy slowing
Many of the indicators I often talk about are announced with quite a lag. This week's retail sales figures are September's data. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of high-frequency data available that tells what is going on in the economy right now. One of the exceptions is BUSA and the Association of Freight Forwarders' (SAAFF) weekly update and it is full of interesting things.

November 17, 2022 Policy uncertainty causes loadshedding
Policy uncertainty is when there is uncertainty about government policy or its consequences and Justice Malala sang a lament about it in the Financial Mail yesterday. His argument is that the economy can no longer afford the contradictions of policy and procrastination with reform.

November 17, 2022 Beleidsonsekerheid veroorsaak beurtkrag
Beleidsonsekerheid is wanneer daar onsekerheid is oor regeringsbeleid of die gevolge daarvan en Justice Malala het gister in die Financial Mail ŉ klaaglied daaroor gesing. Sy argument is dat die ekonomie nie die teenstellings van beleid en gesloer met hervorming langer kan bekostig nie.

November 16, 2022 Retail sales data, consumers under pressure and Black Friday
Consumption spending is an important part of total spending in the economy. If consumers are doing well, the economy is doing well and vice versa. Today September's retail sales figures are announced and a contraction is expected. On the one hand, load shedding makes it difficult and expensive for retailers to keep the shop door open and on the other hand because consumers are under pressure.

November 16, 2022 Kleinhandel verkopedata, verbruikers onder druk en Swart Vrydag
Verbruiksbesteding is ŉ belangrike deel van die totale besteding in die ekonomie. As dit goed gaan met verbruikers gaan dit goed met die ekonomie en andersom. Vandag word Septembermaand se kleinhandel verkopesyfers bekend gemaak. Daar word ŉ inkrimping verwag. Aan die een kant omdat beurtkrag dit vir kleinhandelaars moeilik en duur maak om die winkeldeur oop te hou en aan die ander kant omdat verbruikers onder druk is.

Over the course of five episodes, I’m having conversations with experts from North-West University about a variety of topics.

Today I’m talking to Dr Anton van Wyk of the School of Economic Sciences about Competition Economics and Competition Policy.

November 15, 2022 Saaiboere se kosteknyptang
As dit so lekker reën soos die afgelope week en daar is goeie nuus oor trekkerverkope skep mens sommer moed vir die landbousektor, maar ek het gister ŉ ontleding gelees wat wys dat hierdie nie ŉ maklike, of noodwendig winsgewende, somerseisoen gaan wees nie.

November 15, 2022 Grain farmers are facing a cost squeeze
When it rains as well as it has in the past week and there is good news about tractor sales, one feels encouraged about the prospects for the agricultural sector, but I read an analysis yesterday that shows that this is not going to be an easy, or necessarily profitable, summer season.

November 14, 2022 Wanneer gaan rentekoerse ophou styg?
Hierdie jaar het die ekonomiese nuus gegaan oor inflasie en rentekoerse en ons almal het dit aan ons sakke gevoel. Dit lyk nou of inflasiedruk begin afneem en die vraag is wanneer rentekoerse ŉ draaipunt gaan bereik en self gaan begin afneem. Sommige dink vroeg volgende jaar, ander dink dit gaan nog lank wees.
