Draad: Suid Afrika offisieel in Resessie
Vir die eerste keer in 17 jaar is daar nou herken dat ons in 'n resessie is. Ons groei syfer vir die eerste termyn het met 6.4 punte verswak, is daar sopas op 702 aangehaal soos bekend gemaak deur die ministers vandag.
Wat is ons vooruitsigte? Betaal al jou skuld vinnig af en moet nie weer skuld maak nie.
Ek wonder of Kos binnekort duurder kan word..

'n Resessie is twee opeenvolgende kwartale van negatiewe groei. Dis die definisie in elk geval. Wat dit vir ons inhou moet die ekonome maar s�. Ek is nie een nie.

Ekskuus tog - het 'n sekere minister Trevor Manuel nie voorspel dat SA nie in resessie gedompel sal word nie? Volgens hom was SA se finasi�le markte in orde en dus nie geraak deur die lakse kontroles van die oorsese markte nie.
Dit wil voorkom of hy die invloed van buitelandse investering bietjie onderskat het. Of was dit maar net verkiesingspraatjies ter ondersteuning van die ANC se "suksesvolle bewind"?
Die ANC se enigste aanspraak op sukses was die ekonomiese groei die afgelope 15 jaar - volgens hulle. Almal het blykbaar geriefliksheidshalwe vergeet dat die groter gedeelte van die w�reld ekonomiese groei geniet het in hierdie tydperk, selfs ontwikkelde lande. En ons almal weet dit was gebaseer op massiewe risikos en ononderhoubare opbrengste.
En party van ons het in 1998 al geweet die bubbletjie gaan bars - die van ons wat nie na linkse propaganda nonsens luister nie.

Vertel jy nou vir n steenkool dissipel wat n ressessie beteken. Hy sal dink dit is iets wat maar elke dag gebeur... rus....sessie. Hulle demand mos meer geld want die pryse styg en moet by alles aanpas. Hulle verwoes alles en soek nog. Ek sien hier kom groot probleme, want daar is miljoene wat gaan suffer terwyl die wit man net moet uithaal en wys sodat die afrikane kan voortbestaan. Ek dink hier kom die koue pap en vuurmaak tyd !

Ek hoor hulle praat van moontlike 3 jaar moeilike en swaar tye. Dit is dalk onvermydelik dat dit moet kom. Soveel plekke en myne trek swaar. Eenkant hoop ek dit word beter.

.4% drop in GDP stuns Cabinet and signals deep recession

SA hits first recession in 17 years

BLOG: The ANC’s dangerous spending plan
President Jacob Zuma’s first Cabinet lekgotla was rattled yesterday when officials confirmed that the economy had contracted again in the first quarter of the year. This is the country’s first recession in 17 years.
While the ruling ANC issued a statement saying it planned to spend its way out of trouble — by accelerating spending on infrastructure and public works — some government officials questioned whether the party could still afford the big-ticket items that were key to its election manifesto.
A senior official at the lekgotla said the recession news came as a shock to new ministers mapping out the government’s plans.
“All our plans rest on the performance of the economy. With economic data that shows we are in a recession, it means some of our plans will have to be tweaked a bit.
“What is compounding the issue is the threat of strikes and more companies shedding jobs. Our task has just become even more difficult,” said the official.
The government already faces the threat of a public-sector strike unless it agrees to the pay demands of doctors, nurses and other civil servants.
Labour federation Cosatu said the implications of the recession were “frightening”. But it would hold the Zuma government to its election promises. “With recession now upon us, the government must stick to the promises made during the elections,” said Cosatu spokesman Patrick Craven.
When the ANC launched its manifesto in January, economist Iraj Abedian warned that items such as increased social spending and job creation through public works would require economic growth of 6 percent.
Yesterday, Statistics South Africa said gross domestic product growth slowed by a shocking -6.4 percent in the first quarter, from last quarter’s -1.8 percent contraction. This is the worst figure since the third quarter of 1984 when GDP was at -6.5 percent. It is the first technical recession in South Africa since the fourth quarter of 1992.
Soaring job losses will take their toll on consumers as businesses go into survival mode and try to cut costs through retrenchments.
Sasfin economist David Shapiro said yesterday: “The danger of the recession for the man on the street is that he stands to lose his job. “We already have socio-economic problems like high unemployment and poverty; that’s our soft underbelly. A recession could lead to social unrest,” he said.
Shapiro advised consumers, who make up about 60 percent of South Africa’s economy, to spend only the cash they had and not take on any more debt.
“We’re not saying go into a hole now, but the ultimate aim is to reduce your debt so you can have a little more money to spend,” he said. “Set aside non-essential spending, make the car last a little longer, paint your house next year, not this year.”
Shapiro advised against selling your house now because prices were set to drop further this year.
Fixing the interest rate on mortgages was also not a good idea because interest rates were expected to fall further and banks would not fix the interest on a mortgage at these low levels, but higher. Shapiro expects interest rates to come down by another one or two percentage points by the end of the year.
The Reserve Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee starts its two-day meeting today and will announce its interest-rate decision tomorrow. Governor Tito Mboweni is expected to announce another 100-basis-point cut in the repo rate to 7.5 percent, putting more money back in consumers’ pockets.
The ANC said yesterday it had received a clear mandate from the electorate to respond decisively to the global crisis. “In the period ahead, the ANC will accelerate and expand its investment in public infrastructure. It will step up a massive programme on expanded public works linked to infra structure and meeting social needs,” it said.
Economists expect two more quarters of negative growth before the economy improves.
The mining and quarrying and manufacturing sub-sectors in particular were responsible for the bulk of the GDP weakness, contributing -1.7 and -3.3 percentage points respectively to the -6.4 percent drop.
"Both these sectors are highly dependant on foreign demand — confirming the negative spillover effects of the global recessionary environment on the South African economy," said Fanie Joubert, an economist at the Efficient Group.

Ek twyfel regtig of Shapiro dit so gestel het. Moet nie jou huis nou verkoop nie, later in die jaar kan jy hom vir heelwat minder verkoop! So spaar jy geweldig op transaksie kostes en dan kry jy jou geld wanneer jy dit werklik nodig het. .
