Die ekonomie minuut episodes

November 19, 2024 Hoe hou ons spoor van hervorming?
Een van die redes vir S&P se positiewe vooruitsig vir Suid-Afrika se kredietgradering is dat hulle dink die Regering van Nasionale Eenheid kan hervorming deurvoer wat ekonomie groei sal verhoog. Dit is dinge soos die skep van ŉ elektrisiteitsmark en implementering van die vragvervoer en logistiek meesterplan. Maar as mens die koerant lees klink die proses baie keer soos twee tree vorentoe en een tree terug. Hoe hou mens spoor van of daar vordering is, of nie?

November 19, 2024 How do we keep track of reform?
One of the reasons for S&P's positive outlook for South
Africa's credit rating is that they think the Government of National Unity can implement reform that will increase economic growth. These are things like the creation of an electricity market and the implementation of the freight transport and logistics master plan. But when you read the newspaper, the process often sounds like two steps forward and one step back. How does one keep track of whether there is progress or not?

November 15, 2024 Trump, die rand, inflasie, en die repo
As jy die laaste week die markte dopgehou het is dit duidelik dat die impak van die verkiesing van President Trump nog in die rand-dollar wisselkoers en die JSE sit. Die depresiasie gaan oor ŉ sterker dollar en die vraag is wat dit beteken vir ons brandstofprys, inflasie- en rentekoerse.

November 15, 2024 Trump, the rand, inflation, and the repo
If you have watched the markets in the last week, it is
clear that the impact of the election of President Trump is still in the rand-dollar exchange rate and the JSE. The depreciation is about a stronger dollar and the question is what this means for our fuel price, inflation and interest rates.

November 14, 2024 Huiswerkers onder druk
Saam met gister se arbeidsmagopname data het Statistieke Suid-Afrika die kollig geplaas op die huiswerkers. Ongeveer 1,1 miljoen Suid-Afrikaners is in privaat huishoudings indiensgeneem en van hulle is 854 000 huiswerkers wat skoonmaak, kook, en kinders of bejaardes versorg. Dit is ŉ groep wat besonder kwesbaar is vir ŉ afswaai van die ekonomie.

November 14, 2024 Domestic workers under pressure
Together with yesterday's labour force survey data,
Statistics South Africa put the spotlight on the domestic workers. Approximately 1.1 million South Africans are employed in private households and of these 854 000 are domestic workers who clean, cook, and care for children or the elderly. This is a group that is particularly vulnerable to a downturn in the economy.
