# The City of Ekurhuleni says that at the end of May this year, its total outstanding creditor balance was approximately eight-billion-rand. About 50-percent of this amount related to current invoices that had not yet reached their payment due dates. However, the metro only has two-billion-rand in its bank account. Ekurhuleni owes Eskom 5.7-billion-rand, Rand […]
# Die Forum for South Africa verwelkom die besluit van die Suid-Afrikaanse Reserwebank se Monetêre Beleidskomitee om rentekoerse onveranderd te laat. Die terugkoopkoers bly op 7,5-persent en die prima uitleenkoers op 10,50-persent. FOSA-leier Tebogo Mashilompane sê egter die besluit bied min onmiddellike verligting aan miljoene Suid-Afrikaners wat steeds sukkel met stygende lewenskoste, hoë werkloosheidsvlakke en […]
# Standard Bank sê die Reserwebank se Monetêre Beleidskomitee se besluit om rentekoerse onveranderd te laat, bied welkome verligting vir die landbousektor. Dis geneem ondanks die inflasiekoers wat verlede maand tot vyf-persent gestyg het. Brendan Jacobs van Standard Bank waarsku dat die landbou-sektor steeds aansienlike eksterne risiko’s ondervind, veral weens die voortslepende geopolitieke spanning in […]
# The Forum for South Africa has welcomed the South African Reserve Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee’s decision to keep the repo rate unchanged. The repo rate remains at seven-percent and the prime lending rate at 10.50-percent. FOSA leader, Tebogo Mashilompane, says, however, this decision offers little immediate relief to millions of South Africans who continue […]
# Die ANC-jeugliga sê ekonomiese beleide moet gelyke klem plaas op groei, vervaardiging en werkskepping, en inflasiebestuur. Verbruikersprysinflasie het verlede maand tot vyf-persent geklim – die hoogste vlak in twee jaar. Die Suid-Afrikaanse Reserwebank se Monetêre Beleidskomitee het die terugkoopkoers op 7,5-persent gehou en die prima uitleenkoers op 10,50-persent. Die jeugliga se woordvoerder, Sindiswa Scheepers, […]
# Standard Bank says the Reserve Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee’s decision to keep interest rates unchanged has provided welcome relief for the agricultural sector. This is despite inflation ticking higher to five-percent last month.

# President Donald Trump van Amerika se administrasie stel tariewe van tussen 10- en 12,5-persent in teen 60 handelsvennote, insluitend Suid-Afrika. Die rede is die lande se versuim om maatreëls doeltreffend toe te pas om die invoer van goedere wat deur dwangarbeid vervaardig is, te keer. Die tariewe raak belangrike ekonomiese vennote soos die Verenigde […]
# Die IVP sê al het die Suid-Afrikaanse Reserwebank se Monetêre Beleidskomitee die terugkoopkoers onveranderd gehou, sal baie landburgers steeds finansieel sukkel weens hoë lewenskoste, stadige ekonomiese groei en voortslepende werkloosheid. Die terugkoopkoers bly sewe-persent en die prima uitleenkoers bly 10,5-persent. ʼn IVP-woordvoerder, Nhlanhla Hadebe, sê die besluit bied wel kontinuïteit in monetêre beleid, maar […]
