Economic news of the week: Level-3 lockdown’s effect on SA’s economy
--:--
In this edition of the Business Day Spotlight, we’re looking back at the week in economics as the country moved from Level 4 to 3 of the national lockdown.
Our host Mudiwa Gavaza is joined by Miyelani Maluleke, an economist at Absa Corporate and Investment Banking to discuss the issues.
The discussion touches on Absa’s economic activity tracker, effects of Covid-19 on economic policy, the performance of the Rand, where the impact of government’s stimulus plan may be felt going forward, the development of new economic data reporting standards, how SA is performing relative to other emerging markets and what Maluleke is hopeful about.
