Episode Synopsis

In this podcast, STANLIB’s Chief Economist, Kevin Lings, discusses the latest move to end – at least temporarily - the US government shutdown, which is now the longest in history. Among other effects, the shutdown has reduced the flow of economic data, making policy decisions harder. He also looks at SA’s upcoming MTBPS and a potential improvement in the country’s credit rating. You can listen to the podcast [here].
