SA inflation expectations dip to 3.8% & Cosatu’s infighting and what’s at stake for SA’s labour force
Stephen Grootes speaks to Nicolaas van der Wath, economist at the Bureau for Economic Research, about South Africa’s inflation expectations ahead of the Reserve Bank’s September interest-rate decision. Two-year-ahead inflation expectations fell to 3.8% in the third quarter from 3.9%, moving closer to the SARB’s 3% target and potentially giving policymakers more room to support an economy that contracted in the second quarter.  In other interviews, Andrew Levy, Labour Economist talks about what South Africa’s labour landscape could look like if COSATU were to weaken significantly or fail amid its current internal divisions, and what this could mean for workers’ bargaining power, labour representation in national policy-making and the broader balance between government, business and organised labour.
