The latest data shows inflation is cooling, dropping to 3.5%. While we’re seeing price drops in tech like tablets and cellphones, essentials like electricity, water, and meat continue to squeeze our wallets. Have you noticed a change in your shopping totals?
How would you describe your current confidence in the SA economy?
Optimistic – I can see and feel the improvements.
Cautiously hopeful – Signs are good, but I’m waiting for more.
Sceptical – My daily expenses don’t reflect these “cooling” numbers.
Concerned – The structural issues are still too deep.

No accountability being seen by government ministers and political positions of power that abuse their powers.

I am hopeful because I’d like to believe that finding other major trading partners (other than the US) will turn up more opportunities than there were before. Besides China, I am thinking several countries in South and South-East Asia, and elsewhere. Maybe the esteemed @SharpSchutters has some deeper insights into this. Shopping around for better deals is always a good idea.

The economy can be great if not for external shocks. We’re on a good wicket with reality-based policymaking.

Awareness is dawning and action is in the cards. The era of vague promises is in the past and the media is exposing deep levels of unaccountablity and corruption. This means we will be seeing new executives who come in with a purpose and executable plans, not deployees. This country suffered Zuma, we can never have an uneducated president again.
