May 31, 2024 Die MBK hou hulle voet op die rem
Verbeel jou die Suid-Afrikaanse ekonomie is ŉ redelike ou bakkie en die Reserwebank se Monetêre Beleidskomitee is af en toe agter die stuur. Hulle wil graag hê die bakkie moet ry, dit is ekonomiese groei, maar hulle is bekommerd die enjin word te warm, dit is inflasie. Die repokoers is hulle voet op die rem. Hulle het dit gister onveranderd gelos op 8,25%, maar wat sê hulle van die vooruitsigte vir ŉ verlaging later vanjaar?

May 31, 2024 The MPC keeps their foot on the brake
Imagine the South African economy is a fairly old bakkie and the Reserve Bank's Monetary Policy Committee is occasionally behind the wheel. They want the bakkie to keep running, that's economic growth, but they're worried the engine is overheating, that's inflation. The repo rate is their foot on the brake. They left it unchanged at 8.25% yesterday, but what do they say about the prospects for a reduction later this year?

May 30, 2024 Die wisselkoers, die verkiesing, en die MBK
Gister in die ry om te stem vra iemand my of die rand al begin val het. Dit is so dat sentiment, veral rondom ŉ verkiesing, ŉ rol kan speel, maar toe dink ek dit is dalk interessant om te praat oor die faktore wat die wisselkoers bepaal. Dit is nou nie hierdie week se veranderinge nie in die rand-dollar koers nie, maar die onderliggende, fundamentele drywers van die wisselkoers.

May 30, 2024 The exchange rate, the election, and the MPC
Yesterday in line to vote someone asked me if the rand had started to fall yet. It is the case that sentiment, especially around an election, can play a role, but then I thought it might be interesting to talk about the factors that determine the exchange rate. It is not this week's changes in the rand-dollar rate, but the underlying, fundamental drivers of the exchange rate.

May 29, 2024 Wat is die skakel tussen IK en inkomste?
Mens hoor dat mense sê emosionele intelligensie is meer
belangrik vir jou sukses as IK. Presies wat mense se inkomste bepaal is iets waarin ekonome belangstel en dit is moeiliker om te bepaal as wat dit klink.

May 29, 2024 How strong is the link between IQ and income?
One hears people say that emotional intelligence is more
important to your success than IQ. Exactly what determines people's income is something that economists are interested in and it is harder to determine than it sounds.

May 28, 2024 'n Laaste (ekonomiese) woord voor die verkiesing
Daar is al baie gesê oor more se verkiesing. Ons probleme
is ekonomies van aard en hoe die verskillende partye belowe om dit op te los lê op ŉ spektrum van ontwikkelingstaat tot die vrye mark. Hierdie stryd is so oud soos ons demokrasie en om dit in perspektief te stel is dit die moeite werd om ŉ ou navorsingsartikel van Nicoli Nattrass te lees. Die titel is Gambling on investment: Competing economic strategies in South Africa. Dit gaan oor die stryd van idees tussen die destydse GEAR beleid en die idees van Nedlac se arbeidskoukus.

May 28, 2024 A last (economic) word before the election
Much has been said about tomorrow's election. Our
problems are economic in nature and how the various parties promise to solve them lies on a spectrum from the developmental state to the free market. This struggle is as old as our democracy and to put it in perspective it is worth reading an old research article by Nicoli Nattrass. The title is Gambling on investment: Competing economic strategies in South Africa. It is about the battle of ideas between the then GEAR policy and the ideas of Nedlac's labour caucus.
