👨🏫 | South Africa’s Education Crisis: A Structural Barrier to Economic Growth? In this latest Markets Magnified episode, Dr. Azar Jammine from Econometrix (Pty) Ltd dives into the growing crisis in South Africa’s education system and its impact on the economy. With nearly 40% of youth classified as NEETs (Not in Employment, Education, or Training) and an official unemployment rate of 33.5%, structural weaknesses in education now threaten long-term economic resilience. As the expanded unemployment rate reaches 42.6%, Dr. Jammine highlights the urgent need for reform to break this cycle and drive sustainable growth. Join us for insights into why decisive action is essential for South Africa’s future.

📸 SNAPSHOT | US & SA cut interest rates This week we look at: ▪ US FED's FOMC cuts rates at 0.50% ▪ SA SARB MPC cuts rates at 0.25% ▪ CPI slowed below the 4.5% midpoint ▪ Consumer confidence jumped to its highest level since 2019 Have any questions?

✂ This week, both the US Fed's FOMC and the SARB's MPC are expected to cut interest rates Our view is that the SARB will deliver a 0.25% cut, taking prime to 11.50. Domestic inflation has moderated more rapidly than anticipated, and the global rate-cutting cycle is underway. A SARB cut on Thursday would represent the first domestic interest rate cut since rates bottomed out in July 2020, with the world in 'hard lockdown'. Do you agree with us?
