Looking into the economic crystal ball for 2023

Jan 19, 2023 - Niemand kan sê dat 2022 nie ’n gebeurtenisvolle jaar ten opsigte van nuusgebeure was nie. Die inval in Oekraïne; ’n wêreldwye styging in inflasie; die dood van prominente figure, nie net in die vermaaklikheidsbedryf nie, maar ook groot internasionale persoonlikhede soos koningin Elizabeth II; en die toenemende effek van klimaatsverandering het…http://news.nwu.ac.za/spike-media-coverage-2022-nwu-takes-spotlight

Jan 27, 2023 - “Soos te wagte het die Monetêrebeleidskomitee (MBK) van die Suid-Afrikaanse Reserwebank (SARB) voortgegaan met sy siklus van rentekoersverhogings, met ’n styging van 25 basispunte (bsp) in plaas van die hoër opsie van 50 bsp wat ook wyd bepleit is.” Volgens prof Raymond Parsons, ekonoom van die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) se Besigheidskool, is…http://news.nwu.ac.za/right-judgement-call-limits-pace-interest-rate-increase
Right judgement call limits pace of interest rate increase
Jan 27, 2023 - “As was expected, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) continued with its interest-raising cycle with an increase of 25 basis points (bsp), instead of the higher 50 bsp option that had also been widely canvassed.” According to Prof Raymond Parsons, economist from the North-West University (NWU) Business…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/burger-nou-rugbyinstituut-se-veldmaarskalk

Jan 27, 2023 - It is a sizzler of a Thursday afternoon with the mercury as high as load-shedding tempers. However, the team room of the Rugby Institute at the North-West University (NWU) – no, the war room – is cool.

Jan 31, 2023 - Hoe lank sal krieket nog as die “Gentleman’s Game” bekendstaan, of is daardie bynaam reeds iets van die verlede? Vrouekrieket het hand oor hand toegeneem en hierdie tendens het in 2023 voortgegaan met die IKK se Onder-19 Krieket Wêreldbeker vir Vroue. Die gebeurtenis is in Suid-Afrika aangebied en het op drie plekke plaasgevind, naamlik by die…http://news.nwu.ac.za/under-19-world-cup-fireworks-ignite-womens-cricket

Jan 31, 2023 - How long will cricket still be known as the “Gentleman’s Game”, or is that nickname already a thing of the past? Women’s cricket has grown by leaps and bounds and this trend has continued in 2023 with the ICC Women’s Under-19 Cricket World Cup. The event, which was staged in South Africa, took place at three venues, namely the North-West…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/nwu-akademikus-praat-oor-haar-b2-nns-gradering

Mislukking van banke in Zimbabwe is die gevolg van swak regulatoriese toesighouding
Dec 08, 2022 - Die algemene mislukking van banke in Zimbabwe oor die afgelope 20 jaar is nou verklaar: ’n vername rede is die ontoereikende toesighouding oor bankinstellings deur die Reserwebank van Zimbabwe (RBZ) en ander regulatoriese liggame. Dit is volgens die doktorale studie van Menelisi Ncube, wat onlangs as ’n doktor in die regte in handelsreg by die…http://news.nwu.ac.za/bank-failures-zimbabwe-are-due-poor-regulatory-supervision

Dec 08, 2022 - Die akademiese wêreld kan maklik deur oneerlikheid en plagiaat geïnfiltreer word, veral in moeilike tye soos die afgelope twee jaar van die Covid-19-pandemie.

Dec 08, 2022 - Dit is duidelik dat iets aan dissipline in skole gedoen moet word, maar om weer lyfstraf terug te bring, selfs op ’n beperkte skaal, is waarskynlik nie die antwoord nie.
