Well, now that President Trump has set into motion the main pillars of his economic policy -- trade reform, tax cuts and deregulation -- what should we expect from here?I can think of few better people to hear from on this topic than today's guest, who is one of the key economic advisors to President Trump and his cabinet membersToday, we're fortunate to welcome back to the program economist Dr Arthur Laffer. He was the first to hold the title of Chief Economist at the Office of Management and Budget in the early 1970s. He then later served as a member of President Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board.

Joining us now to discuss this further was Chief Economist at the Institute of International and European affairs and Columnist with The Currency, Dan O'Brien.

The primary focus for South African trade this week is on United States policy and tariffs. In this interview with BIzNews, Wandile Sihlobo, the Chief Economist of the Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa (Agbiz), warns that South Africa “cannot just substitute the US” and that “it's really about listening to what the US puts on the table, about what they demand, and see what South Africa can continuously improve on the offer that we have”. He lists all the reasons why China should not be seen as a replacement for the US market. He further cautions that trade with BRICS countries should also not be viewed as a replacement for the US or other markets. "We can't because…the US is about 4% of our agricultural exports, but the African continent, which is largely not part of the BRICS, accounts for about half of South Africa's agricultural exports. The EU accounts for about 19% of South African agricultural exports.” Sihlobo also gives an overview of major developments in the agriculture sector over the past 31 years, and lists all the steps needed to keep the sector on a positive footing.

The Reserve Bank's expected to press pause on the Official Cash Rate this afternoon, but that's not it's only option. The OCR's sitting at 3.2% after six consecutive rates reductions since last August. Mortgage rates have followed it down over that time, falling to about 5%. ANZ Chief economist Sharon Zollner told Andrew Dickens a 25-basis-point cut wouldn't be a bad idea, given GDP may have gone backwards. She says that more than offsets the fact that GDP in the first three months was stronger than expected. Zollner says it matters quite a bit that momentum's flagging at the moment.

Joining Joe this morning was Conall MacCoille who compiles the MyHome.ie survey and is Chief Economist with Bank of Ireland.

Staci Warden is the Algorand Foundation CEO, and Dr. Matthew Brigida is Chief Economist at Algorand Foundation. In June, the Algorand Foundation's tokenomics team released a new study questioning the assumption that TVL is a meaningful investment signal. Despite being widely cited as a proxy for legitimacy, the research found that TVL doesn't correlate with token performance, even when adjusted for known distortions like double-counting. Why you should listen The team analyzed 300+ cryptocurrencies from 2023–2024, simulating weekly long/short strategies based on TVL rankings. The result? No outperformance, no alpha. And no meaningful insight once broader market movements are accounted for. As Pew reported last year, most Americans still don't trust crypto. If TVL continues to be used as a shorthand for credibility, that only adds noise. This paper adds to the growing push for better metrics in DeFi. Algorand's mission is to power a world where information has integrity and innovative ideas can scale. The Algorand Foundation supports Algorand's rapidly growing ecosystem by providing a best-in-class developer environment, supporting key infrastructure and setting technical standards, offering comprehensive support to builders and entrepreneurs, and providing the framework for decentralized governance.  Supporting links Stabull Finance The TVL Study White Paper The TVL Study Blog Post Algorand Andy on Twitter  Brave New Coin on Twitter Brave New Coin   If you enjoyed the show please subscribe to the Crypto Conversation and give us a 5-star rating and a positive review in whatever podcast app you are using.

“During COVID, we went from just in time to just in case. Unfortunately, now supply chains have to factor in risk mitigation. Finding alternative sources of supply might be a little more pricey, but it reduces the risk.” - Alan Arcand, Chief Economist at Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters Economic uncertainty and tariff volatility continue to shape procurement strategies and supply chain decisions across North America.

Did you know that for the first 15 years of your mortgage, you're working mostly for the taxman, not your future wealth? It's a startling claim, but one backed by data from the Housing Industry Association — and it sheds new light on why housing affordability is getting worse, not better. Today, I'm joined by Tim Reardon, Chief Economist at the HIA, to unpack this extraordinary insight. We explore how government taxes and regulatory charges are silently front-loading the cost of home ownership, inflating house prices, and burdening Aussie families before they've even laid a brick. And while there's some good news on the horizon — with interest rate cuts expected to drive a recovery in home building — the longer-term challenges are immense. Think taxes, planning bottlenecks, and a construction industry on its knees due to chronic underbuilding and workforce shortages. Whether you're a property investor, homeowner, or policymaker, this conversation will leave you thinking differently about the hidden forces shaping the housing market — and why just building more homes won't be enough.   Takeaways  ·         The first 15 years of mortgage repayments primarily cover taxes. ·         Approximately 50% of the cost of a new house is attributed to taxes and fees. ·         Government policies significantly impact housing supply and affordability. ·         Subsidizing first home buyers does not address the root causes of housing unaffordability. ·         The 1.2 million homes initiative requires substantial policy changes to succeed. ·         Foreign investment is crucial for increasing housing supply. ·         Build-to-rent projects are not currently providing affordable housing options. ·         Interest rates directly influence the volume of new home building. ·         Labor availability is a significant challenge for the construction industry. ·         Policy reforms are necessary to improve housing supply and affordability.   Chapters  01:12 Understanding Mortgage Repayments and Taxes 04:54 Challenges in Housing Supply and Infrastructure 09:00 Government Schemes and Their Limitations 10:39 The 1.2 Million Homes Initiative 14:41 The Future of Build-to-Rent Projects 17:01 Market Dynamics and Housing Affordability 20:27 Structural Challenges in the Housing Industry 23:18 Conclusion and Future Outlook   Links and Resources: Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of How to Grow a Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio – in your spare time. ·         Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2025 and beyond   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here  Tim Reardon HIA Chief Economist  Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Also, please subscribe to my other podcast Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.
