In further news Business Day reported that the International Monetary fund or IMF has some concerns about our economy warning of a widening current account deficit, which basically means that we are importing more than we are exporting.
If this gap gets too wide we could face a confidence problem and international inward cash flows could dry up.
In real speak this means interest rates could go up again if our appetite for imported goods is not toned down.
The Rand has lost between 40 and 50% against international currencies this year and we just have to calm down.

In other reports from Business Day it is stated that the South African property market still faces pressures although it is not in as much trouble as internationally, and it is still possible to get a home loan.
The Dispatch from East London reported on the launch of The Association for Savings and Investment (ASISA), they want to focus on consumer education and help South Africans to save.
Fin24 also covered the IMF report going on to say that the Rand might be overvalued. However their report was compiled before the Rand fell through the floor and ended up gasping in the basement.
The IMF said we might be slightly overvalued, but the opposite may hold true now. The IMF also recommended that SA needed to raise public sector saving in an environment that is not conducive to private savings.
