Die ekonomie minuut episodes

October 17, 2022 The Transnet strike, inflation, uncertainty and trust
Inflation has been in the news all year long and is a regular topic of The Economics Minute. It is what the current strike at Transnet is about. If one were to ask why inflation is so bad, the short answer is: because everything becomes more expensive. The longer answer is: that it causes uncertainty and it breaks down trust within society.

October 14, 2022 As ons maar beleidmakers se hande kon vasmaak
Hierdie is mini-begrotingsmaand en Minister Godongwana lewer die sy toespraak oor die medium termyn bestedingsraamwerk op 26 Oktober. Ons weet dat twee jaar se belastingmeevallers beteken dat die Minister ŉ klein bietjie beweegruimte het en daar is verwagtinge aan al die kante van die spektrum.

October 14, 2022 If we could tie the hands of policymakers

October 13, 2022 Maybe the economy did OK in August, but there are worries about September
The Daily Maverick teases and says it feels a bit like 2017 - load shedding, water-shedding and Jacob Zuma are in the news. That year the economy grew by just 1.2%. This week's indicators give us an idea of how difficult it is to say how the economy is doing. August's figures on production and sales in the manufacturing sector looked slightly better and SACCI's business confidence index remained resilient, but there are concerns about what happened in September and what it means for the third quarter's economic growth figure.

October 13, 2022 Miskien het die ekonomie so-so gevaar in Augustus, maar daar is kommer oor September
Die Daily Maverick terg en sê dit voel so bietjie soos 2017 – beurtkrag, beurtwater en Jacob Zuma is in die nuus Daardie jaar het die ekonomie het met net 1,2% gegroei. Hierdie week se aanwysers gee ons ŉ idee van hoe moeilik dit is te sê hoe dit met die ekonomie gaan. Augustusmaand se syfers oor produksie en verkope in die vervaardigingsektor het effens beter gelyk en die SACCI se sakevertroue-indeks het veerkragtig gebly, maar daar is kommer oor wat in Septembermaand gebeur het en wat dit beteken vir die derde kwartaal se ekonomiese groeisyfer.

October 11, 2022 And the 2022 Nobel prize goes to...
The 2022 Nobel Prize for Economics was awarded yesterday to Ben Bernanke, Douglas Diamond and Philip Dybvig for their work on banking. Bernanke is known for his role as chairman of the US Federal Reserve Bank at the time of the 2008/09 global financial crisis, but before that, as a professor, he published a number of influential articles, specifically on the Great Depression. The Diamond and Dybvig model is the basis of how economists think about financial intermediation. Tyler Cowan and Alex Tabarrok give an overview of the winners' work on the Marginal Revolution blog.

October 10, 2022 Hoekom die Amerikaanse werkloosheidskoers ons probleem is
Min van ons het gedink dat die Amerikaanse arbeidsmark hierdie jaar so belangrike ekonomiese aanwyser gaan wees, maar Vrydag is hulle non-farm payroll data bekend gemaak en dit was belangrik. Daar is in Septembermaand 263 000 nuwe werksgeleenthede geskep en die werkloosheidskoers het afgeneem vanaf 3,7% na 3,5%. Die gemiddelde verdienste per uur het met 0,3% gestyg en op ŉ jaarbasis staan dit op ‘n 5% toename. Dit alles maak saak want dit beinvloed die Federate Reserwebank se volgende rentekoersbesluit.
