Labour in Office - A New Economic Direction?

It suits each and every incoming government to claim that their economic inheritance is worse than anticipated in order that it can blame its predecessors for any early tough decisions it is forced to make.

UK Political Outlook for 2024

In the months ahead UK politics will be dominated by relentless speculation as to the date of the forthcoming General Election. The quaint - or even 'working' - assumption underpinning such feverish chatter is that a sitting Prime Minister has absolute control over this fateful decision

South African Budget Speech: Our Detailed Break Down

Eskom and the power crisis remain in the spotlight: Embattled utility state enterprise, Eskom has been allocated a whopping R250 million, spread over three years by minister, Enoch Godongwana. During his budget announcement held in Cape Town, the finance minister pointed out that the allocation to Eskom will enable government to take over a much larger portion of its debt. There’s a catch though to the massive bail out, as some of the power stations will have to be concessional to private players and restructuring. Additional takeaways: 207 days of load shedding were experienced in 2022 compared to 75 in 2021. The Eskom debut arrangement will increase the government’s gross loan debt from R4.73 trillion in 2022/23 to R5.84 trillion in 2025/26.

A Letter from London - Economic Update: November

Credibility restored but has it been at the expense of investor and consumer confidence in the UK economy? From a determination to go for growth at all costs in order to stave off the prospect of recession, UK economic policy has been so transformed within a few weeks that the current PM and chancellor's risk averse approach to the public finances means they seem prepared to live with the consequences even if recession results.
