Die ekonomie minuut episodes

October 08, 2024 Wat (of wie) hou voedselpryse hoog?
Die Mededingingskommissie het onlangs die nuutste weergawe van hulle Essential Food Price Monitoring Report bekend gemaak en waarsku dat voedselpryse te hoog is vir ŉ huishouding wat die minimumloon verdien. Ook dat pryse nie afneem soos wat inflasie en brandstofpryse afneem nie. Hulle sê nou dat kostedruk minder is behoort pryse vinniger te val, maar dit doen nie, en seker voedselbedryf maatskappye maak ŉ stewige wins.

October 08, 2024 What (or who) is keeping food prices high?
The Competition Commission recently published the latest version of their Essential Food Price Monitoring Report and warns that food prices are too high for a household earning the minimum wage. Also that prices have not decreased as inflation and fuel prices have fallen. They say now that cost pressure is less, prices should fall faster, but they don't, and surely food industry companies make a solid profit.

October 02, 2024 R15/$ sal sy eie probleme hê
Die rand het die afgelope maand heelwat sterker verhandel teen die Amerikaanse dollar. Dit het te doen met dalende rentekoerse in die VSA, Sjinese stimulus en positiwiteit oor Suid-Afrika se ekonomiese vooruitsigte. ŉ Sterker rand help om die koste van ingevoerde produkte, spesifiek brandstof laer te hou en dit help weer om inflasie te verminder. Maar ŉ sterker rand het ook uitdagings.

October 02, 2024 R15/$ would have it's own problems
The rand has traded significantly stronger against the US
dollar over the past month. This is due to falling interest rates in the US, Chinese stimulus, and positivity about South Africa's economic prospects. A stronger rand helps keep the cost of imported products, especially fuel, lower, which in turn helps reduce inflation. However, a stronger rand also presents challenges.
