Daar is al baie gesê oor die Regering van Nasionale Eenheid en hoe goed dit is vir die ekonomie, maar dit is vir my lekker dat die eerste 100 dae van die RNE saamval met die toekenning van die 2024 Nobelprys vir Ekonomie aan ouens wat werk aan die belangrikheid van instellings.

A lot has already been said about the Government of National Unity (GNU) and how good it is for the economy, but what I find exciting is that the first 100 days of the GNU coincide with the awarding of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economics to guys who work on the importance of institutions.

Die afgelope week het die aanwysers in verskillende rigtings gewys en teen mekaar gewerk. Bekommernis oor die oorlog in die midde-ooste het die Brent ru-olieprys laat styg, maar daarna het die gedaal as gevolg van bekommernis oor die wêreldwye vraag. Steenkool se prys het gestyg al was die markte nie te vrede met die Sjinese stimuluspakket nie. En as gevolg van die sterker dollar was die goudprys swakker.

Over the past week, the indicators have pointed in different directions and worked against each other. Concerns about the war in the Middle East sent the price of Brent crude oil higher, but then it fell due to concerns about global demand. The price of coal rose even though the markets were disappointed with the Chinese stimulus package. And because of the stronger dollar, the gold price was weaker.

Vennootskappe tussen die openbare ondernemings en privaatsektor is een van die groot dele van die ekonomiese hervorming wat die Regering van Nasionale Eenheid dryf. Die proses om ʼn kontrak aan te gaan om Durban hawe se kaai 2 terminaal te ontwikkel en bestuur wys hoe ingewikkeld hierdie gaan wees.

Partnerships between public enterprises and the private sector are one of the key elements of the economic reform programme driven by the Government of National Unity. The process of entering into a contract to develop and manage Durban Port’s Pier 2 terminal illustrates how complex this will be.

Al die sakevertroue-indekse het die laaste maand of twee toegeneem en dit is ook so met die Agbiz/IDC landboubesigheid vertroue-indeks. Dit is nog onder die neutrale 50-punte merk, maar het in die derde kwartaal met 10 punte verbeter tot 48 punte.

All the business confidence indices have increased in the last month or two and so has the Agbiz/IDC agribusiness confidence index. It is still below the neutral 50-point mark, but improved by 10 points to 48 points in the third quarter.

Internasionale gebeure het ʼn groot impak op ons ekonomie. Die Sjinese kondig ʼn stimuluspakket aan vir hulle ekonomie, of dit lyk of hibriede enjin voertuie wat meer platinum gebruik die bo-toon voer en daar lyk ons uitvoer vooruitsigte sommer beter.

International events have a significant impact on our economy. China announces a stimulus package for their economy, or it seems that hybrid engine vehicles, which use more platinum, are leading the way, and our export prospects suddenly look better.
