OUTPUT AND WAGES LINKED TO PROSPERITY Rising labour productivity leads to higher employment, income and profits. Unfortunately, in South Africa productivity growth has performed very poorly. In the past few years it has grown at a mere 1.3 % to 1.5 %. Productivity measures how quickly a given amount of work is used to produce goods and services. In most industries in China, nominal wages now exceed those in South Africa. Productivity, more than GDP growth, is perhaps our central economic problem. It is impossible for us to become a rich country if wages do not grow significantly faster than inflation, but they cannot do so unless productivity grows far quicker. We should set a national goal to double productivity growth. We need a serious and sustained conversation about how to overcome the legacy of apartheid and the failure of our present programmes to develop skills on a large scale. We need to do all of this now, before our ability to trust and work with each other are poisoned by more years of the bad choices that low productivity imposes. Luke Jordan (PhD) in Economics

LOCAL COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN LOCAL ECONOMIC
ACTIVITIES.
Community engagement is a vital part of effort to improve economic
development and benefits of projects are well documented. Decision makers
want to get a balanced understanding of community’s views. The more views
the more likely the final product will meet the most needs and address the
most concerns possible.
Community can provide new information on projects that has to be
considered. Community will get involved in a project and have sense of
ownership of it which is the key to successful project outcome.

A market economy is very similar to a free market. The government does not control vital resources, valuable goods or any other major segment of the economy. In this way, organisations run by the people determine how the economy runs, how supply is generated, what demands are necessary, etc. No truly free market economy exists in the world. For example, while America is a capitalist nation, our government still regulates (or attempts to regulate) fair trade, government programs, moral business, monopolies, etc. The advantage to capitalism is you can have an explosive economy that is very well controlled and relatively safe. This would be contrasted to socialism, in which the government (like a command economy) controls and owns the most profitable and vital industries but allows the rest of the market to operate freely; that is, price is allowed to fluctuate freely based on supply and demand. Is you want to know how the global economy works and the role you play in it. Source: internet

ZUMA: POOR NATIONS BYSTANDERS IN CRISIS Addressing business leaders at the G20 Summit in Cannes, Zuma said the poor were most vulnerable until a unified solution to the crisis is reached. He called the least developed countries innocent bystanders in a global financial crisis. Populations in emerging economies and least–developed countries will continue to be subjected to harmful and excessive economic volatility and risks until agreement on these often divisive issues is reached within the G20. The world economy has fallen victim to both slowing growth and rising downside risks. Businesses were urged to invest in developing nations to stimulate the global economy. G20 nations must strengthen the fiscal policy environment. They must maintain appropriate monetary policies. They should refrain from protectionism.

SAAMBOU BANK FAILURE Early in a September 2002, the Registrar of Banks placed the management responsibilities of this once proud bank in the hands of a curator. Saambou would evidently have been unable to repay deposits made with it when legally obliged to do so. Drastic measures were implemented to prevent a run on the bank. This included closing branches across the country to deny panicked investors access to their deposits.FirstRand `s First National Bank came to the rescue. The bank bought out Saambou`s operations and the depositors could breathe again. One reason for this bank failure was liquidity problems due to the change in the micro-lending legislation, fraud and failure of corporate governance.
