Uiters uitdagende saketoestande, kleiner markte, massa-afleggings en verminderde inkomste was duidelik gedurende die grendelstaattydperk tot Augustus 2020.

Baie ekonomiese aanwysers toon nou die ernstige impak van die drakoniese Covid-19-grendelstaat met sy vele irrasionele en ongeregverdigde belemmerings op ekonomiese waardeskepping.

Dit is volgens die sakegroep Sakeliga se Ekonomiese Oorsig vir Besluitneming in die Sakewêreld , 'n kwartaallikse verslag wat vandag in samewerking met ETM Macro Advisors vrygestel word.

Gehard van Onselen en Russell Lamberti gesels oor die Augustus-verslag in hierdie uitsending van Sakeliga Beleidsradar.

_________________________

Extremely challenging business conditions, smaller markets, mass retrenchments and reduced incomes were evident over the period of the lockdown even up to August 2020.

Many economic indicators now reveal the severe impact of the draconian Covid-19 lockdown with its many irrational and unjustified impediments to economic value creation.

This is according to the business group Sakeliga’s Economic Update for Business Decision-making for August 2020, a quarterly report released in collaboration with ETM Macro Advisors today.

Listen to Gerhard van Onselen and Russell Lamberti's discussion on the August 2020 report in this episode of the Sakeliga Beleidsradar.

Gerhard van Onselen gesels met ekonoom Russell Lamberti oor die politiek van die grendelstaat en die ekonomiese uitval wat uit 'n uitgerekte staat van inperking kan voortspruit.

David Ansara, Chief Operating Officer of the Centre for Risk Analysis joins the Policy Radar to give thoughts on US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's recent comments at the African Union on Expropriation without Compensation (EWC).

The discussion considers US South Africa diplomacy, AGOA, developments around the amendment of Section 25 of the SA Constitution, and the possible consequences should South Africa lose its preferential (GSP and AGOA) access to US markets.

The episode is hosted by Gerhard van Onselen, Senior Analyst at Sakeliga.
