Maybe the economy did OK in August, but there are worries about September
from Die ekonomie minuut · host Waldo Krugell
The Daily Maverick teases and says it feels a bit like 2017 - load shedding, water-shedding and Jacob Zuma are in the news. That year the economy grew by just 1.2%. This week's indicators give us an idea of how difficult it is to say how the economy is doing. August's figures on production and sales in the manufacturing sector looked slightly better and SACCI's business confidence index remained resilient, but there are concerns about what happened in September and what it means for the third quarter's economic growth figure. * The Economics Minute is supported by the NWU Business School.
