N Nene: Mzansi account success
Therefore, it is quite timely that the Finmark Trust is able to present to us this empirical assessment of the Mzansi account initiative. The National Treasury welcomed the Mzansi initiative as it fitted well with the financial access policy trajectory we had set for ourselves. Prior to the introduction of the Mzansi account initiative close to half of our adult population did not have access to a basic bank account. [highlighted result]

N Nene: Impact of budget on transformation of economy
Over the past five years South Africa has benefited hugely from this integration with high growth and healthy public finances. For many economies, including here in South Africa, financial market activity has grown enormously. Over time, South Africa s firms and factories, corporate and service providers, must absorb more labour, and include more people in economic activity.
The most significant rule of the game is that South Africa needs a more labour absorbing growth path. [highlighted result]

Examination of the relationship between business and politics offers one a great vantage point from which to look at the world today, a world which is haunted by the spectre of capitalism - or the market economy as it often called. But even in normal times, the relationship between business and politics is a key determinant of whether nations develop economically.
The relationship between business and government is a special one, largely because of the mutual dependency that exists ...

N Nene: Fiscal framework and revenue proposals debate
Corporate income tax information is based firstly on the corporate income tax data until January 2010; and secondly, on our experience of the lags in corporate income tax over the past 15 years and the analysis of the expected recovery in corporate profitability.
The corporate income tax data suggests a deeper decline in the tax than we originally estimated in the Medium Term Budget Policy Statement (MTBPS). The October MTBPS estimated a much more aggressive increase in tax revenue as ... [highlighted result]

N Nene: Cape Times and KPMG Business Personality of Year 2009 Awards
We can value the share price, but we cannot value honesty or integrity.
So much of our political, economic and business discourse is about ideology, policy, methodology, models, frameworks and systems. Economic systems or models or frameworks matter, the numbers matter, but they matter far less than the foundation upon which they are built.
That foundation is the set of values or ethics upon which we build our businesses, organisations and societies. The third common thread that... [highlighted result]

The present economic crisis has again brought to the fore economic arguments on how best government s should respond to economic crises. Today, few economists would argue that governments should do nothing or that governments should not intervene to support economic activity.

South Africa s gross saving1 rate as a proportion of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rose to 17.1 percent in the first quarter of this year, up from an average of 15.4 percent in 2008.
But even with the recent rise in South Africa s saving rate, our savings performance remains disappointing. I will then outline some of the things that government is doing to inculcate a savings culture.
