PwC's South African Economic Outlook 2024 report has outlined major challenges facing businesses in the country. The report has outlined how financial troubles coupled with the growing demands on the state and available fiscal resources have placed pressure on the government. With structural challenges like load-shedding, high levels of unemployment and the scourge of crime , South Africa is seeing short-term crises manifesting in five areas such as macroeconomic volatility, disrupted supply chains, scarcity in resources, challenges to accessing healthcare services and struggling public institutions. The report also shows that from 2019 to 2023, more South Africans have avoided using government services due to the state's inability to deliver quality. To unpack and analyse these key points, Sakina Kamwendo spoke to economist and senior manager at PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Xhanti Payi

In Episode 61 of STR Data Lab, Jamie Lane sits down with Bram Gallagher, fellow economist at AirDNA, to review this year's performance and forecast the 2024 outlook for the U.S. short-term rental industry. 2023 brought challenges for STR operators, with a 4.9% drop in RevPAR — the first annual decline since AirDNA began tracking data in 2014. Yet, the industry saw remarkable milestones, with record-high demand in July and over 1.6 million listings by September. The economic landscape showed resilience, with unemployment remaining below 4% and a trend of declining inflation. However, these positive economic indicators, along with a growth in property supply, led to a leveling off in occupancy gains. STR operators experienced reduced pricing flexibility, as travelers showed a growing preference for more budget-friendly accommodation options. The absence of a recession in 2023, thanks to effective Federal Reserve measures, paves the way for a stable economic outlook in 2024. Factors such as declining inflation, strong employment, and excess savings are expected to fuel consumer spending. While the Fed may maintain high-interest rates, a potential rate cut by the end of 2024 could influence mortgage rates. The housing market, currently grappling with affordability issues, faces potential risks, with projections indicating a 2% decrease in home prices by 2024. The economic scenarios discussed include moderate downside, upside, and severe downside, each impacting revenue growth. The AirDNA 2024 Outlook Report predicts a positive shift in the market. Economic recovery is expected to boost demand growth to 10.7%, a rebound from 6.7% in 2023. Supply growth, moderated by high mortgage rates, is likely to align with demand, estimated at 10.9%. Occupancy rates are projected to stabilize at 54.7%, similar to 2023 levels. Average Daily Rates are expected to increase by 2.1%, leading to a 1.9% rise in RevPAR. Despite some economic uncertainties, the market outlook is cautiously optimistic. Bram concludes with a positive note on strong labor market growth as a promising sign for the coming year.

In today's episode, we're going to unpack the latest update from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which sheds light on the current state of the global economy in 2023. The IMF's World Economic Outlook, released just a few days ago, paints a picture of sluggish growth, persistent challenges, and the consequences of significant policy shifts. Today, we'll dissect the key findings and delve into what this means for the broader global economic landscape. Global GDP Growth: A Sluggish Trajectory The IMF's latest report brings sobering news. The global economy is in for a bumpy ride in 2023 and 2024, with a downward revision in growth forecasts. Global GDP is now projected to grow by a modest 3.0 percent this year, down from the 3.5 percent growth we witnessed in 2022. Looking ahead, the IMF anticipates a marginal decrease to 2.9 percent in 2024, a slight adjustment from its April 2023 forecast of 3.0 percent. The report emphasizes a crucial point: economic activity has yet to regain its pre-pandemic vigor, especially in emerging markets and developing economies. What's more, we're seeing widening disparities among different regions. Various factors are identified as culprits, holding back the recovery. These include the lasting impacts of the pandemic, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, and the increasing fragmentation of the global economic landscape. But it's not just long-term challenges; cyclical issues also weigh in, such as the effects of monetary policy tightening to combat inflation, the withdrawal of fiscal support in the face of mounting debt, and the impact of extreme weather events. Persistent Challenges from 2022 While many hoped to leave behind the challenges of 2022, we find that numerous problems from that year persist, creating a climate of ongoing uncertainty and subdued growth prospects. Issues such as elevated global debt, the Ukraine crisis, and heightened geopolitical tensions are still very much with us in 2023. The report also underscores that inflation is projected to remain elevated in advanced economies until at least 2025. Additionally, there's the matter of China, a nation that played a pivotal role in bolstering global growth earlier this year by reopening its economy. However, we now see a property crisis in China, which poses an additional downside risk. If not effectively managed, this crisis could potentially have far-reaching consequences for the global economy. Balanced Risks and Policy Moves Despite these formidable challenges, the IMF report suggests that the risks to the global economic outlook are somewhat more balanced compared to six months ago. In the past, we were deeply concerned about the U.S. and Swiss banking crises and the looming specter of a catastrophic U.S. debt default. But the landscape has evolved since then, with policymakers taking measures to address these pressing issues. As we consider the broader economic landscape, it's crucial to take note of the Federal Reserve's determination to gradually raise interest rates. This decision remains in place even in light of recent predictions by JP Morgan Chase, which forecast a potential global recession by the end of this year. We'll be exploring the implications of this monetary policy and its potential impact on the economy. Income Inequality and Relative Deprivation Lastly, we'll delve into the pressing issue of income inequality, measured by the Gini coefficient. Income disparities continue to widen, with the wealthy getting richer and the less fortunate becoming even poorer. This is particularly noticeable in the most economically vulnerable areas, leading to an alarming increase in crime and violence. This rise in income inequality and its social ramifications bolster the theory of Relative Deprivation, an idea we've discussed in detail in "Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Neo-Capitalism and the Death of Nation."

#Ep.058 The economic performance of emerging markets in the post-COVID-19 world has been a mixed landscape of growth, vulnerability, and resilience. Driven by rebounding commodity prices and supportive fiscal policies, many economies experienced robust recovery, but this revival has been uneven across regions. Factors such as varying global trade impacts, and differences in exposure to external financial conditions have contributed to this disparity. Additionally, challenges such as high debt levels, inflationary pressures, and structural weaknesses persist. While some nations, notably in Asia, have adapted strongly, others, particularly in Latin America and Africa, face external vulnerabilities, leading to a multifaceted and inconsistent picture of economic performance across emerging markets. In this episode, Nirjan Rai and Satyam Panday sit down to unpack S&P Global's Recent Emerging Markets Outlook Report. They begin by discussing the key global takeaways from the report, then focus on the economic performances of China and India, especially in the context of post-pandemic recovery and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Satyam also offers his take on the short- and long-term projections for these two countries. They end the conversation with a discussion on why Nepal has failed to exploit the economic performances of its two neighbors and present some thoughts on what Nepal should do to leverage its future growth. Satyam is the Chief US Economist at S&P Global Ratings. Until just recently, he was the Chief Emerging Markets Economist for S&P. He has also taught at Boston College and Brandeis University and has been a research fellow at the US Congressional Budget Office. Satyam holds a Ph.D. in International Economics and Finance and specializes in macroeconomics, development economics, and applied econometrics. He is also a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at PEI.

For The Scoop's final episode of 2022, Larry Cermak, vice president of Research at The Block, joins host Frank Chaparro to unpack highlights from The Block Research's 2023 Digital Assets Outlook Report and to break down some of the major events that shaped the crypto market in 2022. The Block Research's 2023 Digital Assets Outlook Report offers a deep look into the state of the crypto markets today and analysis on trends that could emerge in the year ahead. Generally speaking, Cermak says institutional investors are becoming more comfortable with crypto's extreme volatility: “The institutional investors understand now that just because we have dropped by 80%, and just because a lot of funds and a lot of companies have gotten destroyed, that doesn't mean that crypto will not come back. They understand the volatility, understand the cycles, and a lot of them want to be in a better position before the next movement.” Although bear markets are characterized by a lack of exuberance among market participants, “these are really the periods when a lot of new projects are born,” Cermak says. “A lot of new narratives for the industry are going to be born.” Disclaimer: Beginning in 2021, Michael McCaffrey, the former CEO and majority owner of The Block, took a series of loans from former FTX and Alameda founder Sam Bankman-Fried. McCaffrey resigned from the company in December 2022 after failing to disclose those transactions.

Please tune in to this episode of The Building BITE Podcast, as we hear from industry experts about key topics to help you be successful. The Building BITE hosts Chris Epps, LEED AP and Mike Diercksen, CRIS, welcome Chief Economist for the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), Ken Simonson. Throughout the episode, Ken dives into AGC's latest U.S. Construction Outlook and addresses hot topics in today's climate, including the labor force, supply chain issues, and materials. Ken dives into several compelling statistics throughout the episode, including what GCs can do to help find and retain talent when bid prices are still lagging input costs by almost 20% (17.5) on the Producer Price Index. Another segment addresses Federal work increasing by 37% due to the new Infrastructure Bill, and an industry outlook as a result. Ken leaves us with three takeaways stemming from his report. 1. If you're optimistic, you're in the right frame of mind. It appears there will be quite a pickup in non-residential construction work and continuing activity on multifamily. 2. Expect a lot of volatility in prices. With that, it's essential to be nimble about when to buy and how to bid. 3. Be prepared for a long-term scramble to find workers you need to retain and the ones you want. Retaining and attracting top talent is undoubtedly a big takeaway. Ken leaves our listeners with his recommended action item, to invest in making your workforce nimbler and more aware of doing the job. It starts with the CEO ensuring that the workforce is more aware of other ways of doing business, being safer, and helping workers feel most comfortable and enthusiastic about doing their job in the first place.

Nigeria's economic progress can be likened to that of an athlete with the potential to become a star. This assertion speaks to the much-needed confidence in the country's development prospects after evaluating its economic performance in 2021. The economy sustained its recovery momentum as the real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) expanded by an average of 3.2% in the first three quarters of the year. Reaping from the high growth in output, the inflation rate, after peaking at 18.2 percent in March 2021, moderated for most of the year and averaged at 17.0 percent in 2021.

This new bullish Bitcoin research report published by Blockware Solutions entitled, "2021 Bitcoin Market Outlook - $40,000 is Only the Beginning" predicts a $700,000 BTC price by the end of 2021. As Bitcoin price continues to make new highs in 2021, it is imperative to understand that the current Bull Cycle (March 2020 - Present) has been, and continues to be, disproportionately driven by institutional investment, while retail investors have remained slow to participate. This is a powerful signal that the present Bitcoin Bull market is still in its early stages. A key characteristic of early Bull Market’s is heavy institutional accumulation during the early stages of the Bull Market.

Gender equality has been recognized as an important goal in itself as well as important to achieving other development objectives, such as reducing hunger and poverty. This is true worldwide and especially so in rural Africa, where women play an important role in the agricultural sector. Gender-sensitive policies and programming are central to effectively advancing the Malabo Declaration’s agricultural transformation agenda. But what is the progress in achieving gender equality? What are the major challenges, and what are the effective means of overcoming those challenges? Seminar ( https://www.ifpri.org/event/gender-equality-rural-africa-commitments-outcomes ) speakers will address these questions and discuss the findings and recommendations of the 2019 Annual Trends and Outlook Report, Gender Equality in Rural Africa: From Commitments to Outcomes. The report takes an in-depth look at gender in Africa by examining the intersections of gender and 1) context and institutions, 2) assets, 3) shocks and resilience, 4 livelihood strategies, 5) income and control of income, and 6) well-being. The report is produced by the Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS) http://www.resakss.org/, which provides data and analyses to inform the implementation of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP). ReSAKSS is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

As the energy world becomes more integrated, more dynamic and more complex, the need to try and better understand the outlook for the industry only grows. One publication that helps us to do this is the Bloomberg New Energy Outlook Report, an annual long-term economic forecast of the world’s power sector.   On a new episode of Columbia Energy Exchange, host Jason Bordoff sits down with Amy Grace, Head of North American Research at Bloomberg New Energy Finance. Amy leads the team responsible for producing the New Energy Outlook and communicating analysis on economics, policy, and the strategic dynamics of the North American power sector.    Amy and Jason caught up in New York to discuss the 2018 outlook Report. Amy explains what differentiates Bloomberg’s Report from other energy publications, BNEF's global outlook for renewables, fossil fuels, and the energy transition as a whole. She also explains why, according to BNEF, solar and wind have already won the race for cheap bulk electricity generation. Jason and Amy also discuss the role of policy for renewables and the likely impact of President Trump’s solar tariffs.   Other topics discussed on this episode include the challenges and the opportunities for electric vehicles and how the transition in the transportation sector will impact oil demand, the electricity sector, and global emissions. Finally, Amy highlights a few key energy technologies we should pay attention to moving forward.

In today's episode, there are two economic reports that appear to be conflicting with each other. I'm looking forward to speaking with Doug Duncan, chief economist for Fannie Mae in two weeks to get a deeper dive into the numbers. Simon Black's latest Sovereign Man article hi-lighted the $1 Trillion growth in the US Federal debt in the past 6 months, $215 Billion in the past month alone. How do we reconcile these seemingly conflicting perspectives?

Terry kicks off Real Estate Round-Up by quoting a recent Freddie Mac September 2017 Outlook Report on trends for the mortgage market in 2018.  The report projects that new homes should be the primary driver of sales next year, with a two percent bump-up in total home sales from 2017 to 2018.  Freddie Mac expects a moderate increase in mortgage interest rates in 2018 which, with a slight increase in housing supply, should reduce U.S. house price growth to about 4.9 percent in 2018, down from about 6.3 percent in 2017. 10-18-2017
