Die monetêre beleidskomitee van die Reserwebank ‘het nie ’n idee waarmee hulle besig is nie,’ meen dr. Roelof Botha. Hy is wel oortuig dat rentekoerse teen September gaan begin daal. . “Die Reserwebank het nie ’n idee waarmee hulle besig is nie. Dit (hul besluite om die land se rentekoerse hoog te hou) maak hoegenaamd geen sin nie. Suid-Afrika se Reserwebank word beskou as van die beste ter wêreld; dit lê onder die top-15 in die wêreld. Dis net die monetêre beleidskomitee wat politieke aanstellings is – vyf mense wat besluit wat met 60 miljoen ander se lewens en inkomste gaan gebeur!”
SA’s large corporates have started to limit their procurement of goods from high-carbon emitters, as companies, particularly exporters, become more aware of the threat posed by the EU’s carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM), which is set to be implemented in the near future, says Nedbank. The lender, however, cautioned that some entities had not fully grasped the importance of starting with a climate risk assessment to identify the impact of climate change on their business operations. Nedbank conducted a review of companies with annual turnovers of R30m to R2.5bn in the mining, iron and steel, coal, real estate and agriculture sectors to assess their understanding of climate resilience and decarbonisation.
Die Verenigde Nasies (VN) het verlede week gewaarsku dat die konflik in die ooste van die Demokratiese Republiek van die Kongo (DRK) besig is om in ’n groter streekskonflik te ontaard nadat dit aan die lig gekom het dat tussen 3 000 en 4 000 soldate uit Rwanda saam met die M23-rebelle in die konflik betrokke is. Konflik en oorloë is niks nuut op die Afrika-kontinent nie. Dit is egter duidelik dat die veiligheidsituasie in verskeie streke van Afrika vinnig besig is om te versleg. Terwyl die wêreld steeds op oorloë in Oekraïne en die Midde-Ooste gefokus is, sterf duisende mense daagliks in konflik in Afrika wat die potensiaal het om oor die volgende paar jaar reuseprobleme te veroorsaak en groot streke op die kontinent heeltemal te destabiliseer.
Die kleinhandelprys van beesvleis het sedert 2019 in die meeste markte egter toegeneem en die uitwerking van inflasie het verbruikerspatrone verander. In China het die vraag na beesvleis te midde van ʼn ekonomiese verlangsaming ook verminder. Die Chinese beesvleismark het in uitsette en verbruik gegroei en die bedryf sal na verwagting vanjaar met net 0,4% groei. China het nietemin verlede jaar 7,5 miljoen ton beesvleis geproduseer en het invoer verhoog om in die vraag daarna te voldoen. Dié vraag is egter besig om af te neem. “Die wêreld se naasgrootste ekonomie sukkel weens ʼn krisis in die eiendomsmark en stadige groei.

Rentekoers raak mense van alle inkomstevlakke en “dringende stappe is nodig om dié tikkende tydbom te ontlont”. “Die ontstellendste gevolg is dat mense minder kos koop omdat hul salarisse reeds nie kan byhou met hoë inflasie en die rentekoers nie -Hoër inflasie is nie weens oormatige uitbundigheid in die ekonomie of oorbesteding deur verbruikers nie. Die enigste werklike uitwerking van die hoër rentekoers is dat dit die ekonomie laat luier het en die koste vir verbruikers opgestoot het, wat hulle straf.” Ons land se boere is onder gewildige druk en rentekoerse vernietig welvaart. Suid-Afrika se Reserwebank word beskou as van die beste ter wêreld; dit lê onder die top-15 in die wêreld.
Dis net die monetêre beleidskomitee wat politieke aanstellings is – vyf mense wat besluit wat met 60 miljoen ander se lewens en inkomste gaan gebeur!”
