Die monetêre beleidskomitee (MBK) van die Reserwebank het die week sy tweemaandelikse besluit oor die rentekoers bekend gemaak. Die prima uitleenkoers – die maatstaf waarteen banke geld aan verbruikers uitleen – is met 25 basispunte tot 11,25% verlaag. Volgens hulle is die groot bydraende faktor tot die verlaging, wat algemeen verwag is, is verbruikersprysinflasie wat van 3,8% in September tot 2,8% in Oktober gedaal het en nou op die laagste vlak sedert Februarie 2021 is. Faktore wat daartoe bygedra het, is ’n afname in vervoerkoste weens laer brandstofpryse en ’n afname in voedselprysinflasie. Ons span sien nie dat voedsel enigsins op meeste vlakke gedaal het nie- inteendeel dit styg daagliks net soos verbruikerspryse. Maatskappye se gulsigheid drae baie by tot die die hoe pryse. Dis absolute skande dat ons rykdom en welvaart vernietig word deur die besluit van 6 amptenare van die regering wat traag is om rentekoerse te verlaag en miljoene mense gevange hou en hulle lewens vernietig. Daar is geen rede waarom die reneokoers nie verminder kon word met 5 basispunte nie.
The Presidency of COP29 has released a second text for the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) on climate finance, setting an annual target of $250bn for developing countries by 2035. “Factoring in inflation, that's a 30% increase on the 2009 target. Not world-changing, and hardly ambitious,” James Reeler, senior manager: Climate Action at the Worldwide Fund for Nature SA (WWF), told Business Day. “We will have to see what Parties say, but I don't think they'll be done today.” Ali Mohamed, chair of the African Group of Negotiators said: “The proposed target to mobilise $250bn per year by 2035 is totally unacceptable and inadequate to delivering the Paris Agreement. The Adaptation Gap Report alone says the adaptation needs are $400bn; $250bn will lead to unacceptable loss of life in Africa and around the world, and imperils the future of our world.
Landbou is die kleinste uit die vier oorhoofse sektore. Die formele sektor verskaf werk aan byna 11,6 miljoen mense, oftewel 68,4% van mense met werk, gevolg deur die informele sektor (3,3 miljoen of 19,4%) en private huishoudings (1,1 miljoen of 6,7%). Die syfers is afgerond. Die hoogste indiensnemingsyfer in die landbou sedert 2008 (toe begin is om syfers te meet) was 956 000 verlede jaar. Misdaad in al sy vorme skep ’n reuse-probleem op plase. “Dit gaan nie net oor plaasaanvalle en -moorde nie, maar ook oor die diefstal van produkte (vee, graan, groente, vrugte en neute) en ook insetmiddele soos diesel, saad, kunsmis en chemikalieë. “Boere moet weens die misdaadkultuur wat tans in Suid-Afrika aan die orde van dag is meer veiligheidsdienste op hul plase verrig as wat hulle kan boer.” Volgens Bennie Van Zyl van TLU het Suid-Afrika het 30 jaar lank gebuk gegaan aan ’n beleidsomgewing van sentralisasie en sosialisme wat geleidelik die wiele laat afkom het. “In die proses het kaderontplooiing ’n drastiese verlies aan kundigheid veroorsaak. “Fokus op die regte ekonomies gerigte beleidsomgewing met vertroue in private eiendomsreg en ’n vrye mark en gee die maksimum aandag aan opleiding, dan sal hierdie skip wat op die waterval afstuur, dalk gedraai kan word.
Deere & Co forecast lower-than-expected 2025 profit on Thursday, as sagging farm incomes and inflationary pressures affect demand for the company’s tractors and other agricultural equipment. A decline in farm incomes, high interest rates and an uncertain economy have compelled farmers to reassess large expenses on agricultural machinery and forced dealers to limit inventory restocking. US farm income is expected to fall for a second consecutive year in 2024, as farmers grapple with maize and soya bean prices hovering near four-year lows. The US department of agriculture estimates this year’s net farm income, a broad measure of profitability in the agricultural economy, to hit $140bn, down 4.4%, or $6.5bn, from a year earlier.

In the years after, trade disruptions intensified with Russia invading Ukraine.
