Die ekonomie minuut

Hierdie week hou ontleders Woensdag se verbruikerprysindeks inflasiesyfer fyn dop. In Spanje en die VSA was onlangse inflasiesyfers heelwat laer, maar in ander ekonomieë bly dit hardnekkig hoog. Gaan Maartmaand se syfer ʼn belangrike keerpunt wees?

Stadige ekonomiese groei beteken dat besighede nie groei nie, dat daar nie salarisverhogings betaal word nie, dat daar nie werkskepping is nie, dat die staat se belastinginkomste nie groei nie, en almal se skuld lyk meer ernstig.

Slow economic growth means that businesses are not growing, that salary increases are not being paid, that there is no job creation, that the state's tax revenue is not growing, and everyone's debt is much more serious.
