Business Day Spotlight

In this edition of the Business Day Spotlight, we’re looking back at the mid term budget speech given by finance Minister Tito Mboweni earlier in the week. Our host Mudiwa Gavaza is joined by Nicky Weimar, chief economist at Nedbank, as well as Annabel Bishop, chief economist at Investec, to discuss the issues. The discussion also touches on highlights from the speech, bond markets, implementation risk, effects of the global economy, the drag of hospitality and tourism on the economy when not in operation and how the budget speech has influenced forecasts for GDP.
