Latest Events
BarnOwl Information Sharing Session with Nicky Weimar – Senior Economist at Nedbank

Economic Review & Outlook 2016

Recently Nicky Weimar, the senior economist of Nedbank very kindly presented her “Economic Review and Outlook 2016” at our “Information Sharing Session” on the 5th of May 2016.

What a brilliant presentation as always, however, I have to say that it was a most sobering experience if not darn right depressing.

Please feel free to download her presentation and click here to see pictures and read the write-up on the event or click on “Watch Video” below to see the full video.

Once again, thank you, Nicky, for your time and most insightful presentation.

South Africa’s unemployment rate recently clambered back over the 25% level, the highest reading since 2005, and the 12th highest unemployment rate globally. 5.7 million people are unemployed in South Africa, not counting those who aren’t economically active. Under the expanded definition of unemployment, including those discouraged job seekers who have given up looking for work, this figure soars to 36% of the population.
