Strukturele oplossings strek verder as monetêre beleid
Soos die meeste mense verwag het, het die Monetêrebeleidskomitee (MBK) met ’n meerderheid van 3:2 besluit om vir eers die rentekoerse onveranderd te laat in plaas daarvan om dit met ’n verdere 25 basispunte te verhoog. In sy kommentaar op die MBK se besluit op 20 Julie het prof Raymond Parsons, ekonoom van die Besigheidskool by die Noordwes-…http://news.nwu.ac.za/structural-solutions-lie-beyond-monetary-policy
Structural solutions lie beyond monetary policy
As was widely anticipated, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decided by a 3:2 majority to keep interest rates on hold for now, instead of opting for a further increase of 25 basis points. In commenting on the MPC’s decision on 20 July, Prof Raymond Parsons, economist from the Business School at the North-West University (NWU), says it was the…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/nwu-opgewonde-oor-eerste-vk-wetenskapdag

Lae stempersentasie: Opvoeding is die antwoord – Noordwes-Universiteit
Die straf en die oortreding pas nie by mekaar nie. Suid-Afrika het ’n endemiese, groeiende en unieke siekte wat nie net die gesondheid van ons land se demokratiese strukture raak nie, maar dit is ook ’n baie swak vorm van straf vir die gebrek aan dienslewering. Die stempersentasie raak al hoe laer, maar om weg te bly, is nie ’n oplossing vir…http://news.nwu.ac.za/low-voter-turnout-education-how-we-fix-it-north-west-university
Low voter turnout: Education is how we fix it – North-West University
The punishment does not fit the crime. South Africa has an endemic, growing and unique disease that is not only affecting the health of our country’s democratic structures, but is also an ill-conceived form of retribution for the lack of service delivery. Voter turnout continues to decline, but abstention is not the cure for consternation. It is a…http://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-and-sahrc-sign-memorandum-understanding

Suid-Afrika is op die rand van ’n resessie, en die voortgesette verbrokkeling van semistaatsinstellings soos Eskom en Transnet is besig om die land se ekonomiese probleme te vererger.
