Episode Synopsis

In this podcast, STANLIB’s Chief Economist, Kevin Lings, looks at the economic disruption as the US government shutdown enters its third week, with no resolution in sight. He also considers the slowdown in SA’s retail sales in August, which appears to be largely due to the tapering off of two-pot withdrawals.
