Die ekonomie minuut episodes

May 27, 2024 Opmerkings is goed, maar duidelikheid is beter
Wat sentrale banke sê is net so belangrik soos wat hulle
doen. Die afgelope week het die rand verswak op grond van opmerkings van ŉ lid van die Amerikaanse Federale Reserwe Raad wat gesê het dat rentekoerse in die VSA dalk nog lank hoog gaan bly. Hier in Suid-Afrika verwag ontleders dat die Monetêre Beleidskomitee die repokoers onveranderd gaan los maar is reg om fyn te luister na die toon van die verklaring. Hoekom sê Sentrale Bankiers nie net wat hulle dink en beplan nie?

May 27, 2024 Comments are nice, but clarity is better
What central banks say is as important as what they do.
In the past week, the rand has weakened based on comments from a member of the US Federal Reserve Board who said that interest rates in the US may remain high for a long time. Here in South Africa, analysts expect the Monetary Policy Committee to leave the repo rate unchanged but are ready to listen closely to the tone of the statement. Why don't Central Bankers just say what they think and plan?

May 24, 2024 Die verkiesing en ekonomiese beleid
Met minder as ŉ week oor voor die algemene verkiesing lyk dit of ontleders en die markte baie rustig is oor die uitkoms. Die uitslag is min of meer die ANC in koalisie met kleiner partye en redelike stabiliteit, of te wel meer van dieselfde. Dit is goed en sleg.

May 24, 2024 The election and economic policy
With less than a week left before the general election,
analysts and the markets seem to be very calm about the outcome. The result is more or less the ANC in coalition with smaller parties and reasonable stability or rather, more of the same. This is good and bad.

May 23, 2024 'n Bietjie goeie nuus oor inflasie
Daar is ŉ stukkie goeie nuus in Aprilmaand se
verbruikersprysinflasiesyfer wat gister bekend gemaak is. Die jaar-op-jaarkoers het afgeneem vanaf 5,6% in Februarie en 5,3% in Maart tot 5,2% in April. Dit klink dalk nie na veel nie, maar die druk op voedselpryse is laer.

May 23, 2024 A bit of good news about inflation
There is a piece of good news in April's consumer price
inflation figure that was announced yesterday. The year-on-year rate decreased from 5.6% in February and 5.3% in March to 5.2% in April. It may not sound like much, but the pressure on food prices is lower.

May 22, 2024 Arm beteken nie goedkoop nie
Hoekom is die vervaardigingsektor In Afrika lande so
klein? Dit dra so 10% van die Bruto Binnelandse Produk by. In Suid-Afrika is dit rondom 12%. Baie vinnig ekonomiese groei en ontwikkeling soos wat Sjina beleef het is onmoontlik sonder vervaardiging.

May 22, 2024 Poor does not mean cheap
Why is the manufacturing sector in African countries so
small? It contributes about 10% of the Gross Domestic Product. In South Africa it is around 12%. Very rapid economic growth and development such as China has experienced is impossible without manufacturing.

May 21, 2024 Hoe groen is die party waarvoor jy stem?
Die Reserwebank het onlangs gewaarsku dat die Europese koolstofbelasting, of te wel Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism ŉ negatiewe impak kan hê op Suid-Afrika se uitvoer en die ekonomie. Die VSA, Japan, Kanada en die Verenigde Koninkryk oorweeg hulle eie weergawes hiervan. Behlawe om vertoë te rig dat dit onregverdig is, het enige iemand ŉ plan?

May 21, 2024 How green is your party of choice?
The Reserve Bank recently warned that the European Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, could have a negative impact on South Africa's exports and the economy. The US, Japan, Canada and the UK are considering their own versions of this. Besides making representations that this is unfair, does anyone have a plan?
