About this listen

 On this week’s Bizskoops, economist Professor Waldo Krugell joins us to explain what last week’s decision by the Monetary Policy Committee to keep the repo rate unchanged really means for households, businesses, and the broader growth outlook.

At the same time, we look at rising tensions between farmer organisations and the minister of agriculture over foot and mouth disease management, with Chris Hattingh from the Centre for Risk Analysis sharing his views on the risks for exports, jobs, and confidence in the sector.

On the investment front, we explore the rapidly evolving global B2B payments landscape with Thomas Pinter, Chief Commercial Officer at Damisa, and what sets their cross-border payments offering apart in a crowded market.

Finally, we return to the realities of financial distress with Dr. Phillip van Rensburg, Tax Rescue Specialist at ProGroup Tax Rescue SA, who unpacks debt solution strategies and tax debt management, the benefits of a multidisciplinary professional partner network, and the major tax regulation trends South African businesses need to watch this year.
