# Die Suid-Afrikaanse Kamer van Handel en Nywerheid se jongste opname oor handelstoestande toon ‘n agteruitgang van handel in August 2025. Slegs 40-persent van die respondente het positiewe toestande aangemeld. Dit is minder as die tydelike oplewing in Julie, danksy rentekoersverlagings en pensioenfondsonttrekkings. Globale onsekerheid, swak ekonomiese prestasie, en werkloosheid was groot bydraende faktore. Alhoewel […]

Hy sê té veel gesinne staar voedselonsekerheid in […]

# Die hoof-ekonoom van die Efficient-groep, Dawie Roodt, verwag dat die Reserwebank se monetêre beleidskomitee nie vandag die rentekoers gaan verander nie.

Die […]

Chris Boxall van FNB sê swendelaars word al meer gesofistikeerd in die manier waarop hulle sosiale […]
