Die ekonomie minuut

Ek het net mooi 100 episodes gelede gepraat oor Zimbabwe se nuwe ZiG geldeenheid, of te wel Zimbabwe Goud. Dit is vyf maande later en daar is reeds probleme. Die ZiG is bekendgestel teen 13,50 teenoor die Amerikaanse dollar, dit verhandel nou amptelik teen 14,50, maar op die parallelle mark is die wisselkoers 25ZiG vir ʼn dollar.

Just over 100 episodes ago I talked about Zimbabwe's new ZiG currency, or rather Zimbabwe Gold. It's five months later and there are already problems. The ZiG was introduced at 13.50 against the US dollar, it now officially trades at 14.50, but on the parallel market, the exchange rate is 25ZiG to a dollar.

Ek is positief oor die ekonomiese vooruitsigte vir die land, maar hoë frekwensie aanwysers is nog nie so positief soos die kommentators of die markte nie.

I am positive about the economic prospects for the country, but high-frequency indicators are not yet as positive as the commentators or the markets.
