Newsletter| It is critical to maintain the independence of the Reserve Bank while intensifying efforts to preserve the value of the rand. This is the only way South Africans can build wealth and get themselves out of poverty, writes Mpiyakhe Dhlamini

The common perception of money among members of the public, and even some economists, verges on the fantastical.

And what happens if the grain producer does not want any cheese? If the producers of goat cheese or the suppliers of grain are reachable only through a sequence of transactions, that would add unnecessary costs for the person wanting cheese or grain. Prices indicate relative quantities of goods or services. Therefore, when money prices for a good fall, it indicates that for the good in question less money is required to attain it than was previously the case.Since prices are relative, we can measure the price of money relative to other goods in the economy.

Therefore, whenever a central authority decides to take control of the entire money supply and make decisions on its own about the appropriate quantity of money, the risk of incorrect signals about scarcity, supply and demand for all other goods spreading throughout the economy is heightened. That explains why I have found the most recent CPI figure to be the most important variable in predicting the real GDP per capita growth rate for the following year.

As sec 224 (1), SARB's primary Constitutional object is 'to protect the value of the currency.' It CAN then print money for essential infrastructure, at low interest rates. Like repaying Eskom's R420bn loans. And building social housing to lease. NO cash goes to individuals.

BUSINESS MAVERICK: With a few exceptions, corporate SA has ditched the idea of funding political partiesWith a great flourish, SA’s political parties rushed through Parliament the Political Party Funding Act just prior to the start of the 2019 election campaign. It was transparently an attempt to look squeaky clean in a campaign sure to be dominated by the issue of corruption. Then the implementation of the legislation was delayed by the Electoral Commission of South Africa. The sigh of relief from donors and political parties alike was almost audible. But here is the thing: Corporate SA has largely moved on. It turns out very few are making contributions any more.

Holy Protein: Fowl play — how government is siding with the big SA poultry industry playersOnce again there is a whole lot of fuss and feathers flying about chicken legs, and how much they should cost. It may seem like a chicken feed-sized argument, but it bears directly on the outcome of the transformation project for South Africa’s agricultural sector, and how much a fried chicken family pack will actually cost consumers all around the nation.
