Podcast: Die ekonomie minuut
Episode: It is not the GNU, it is the carry trade
Description: The rand is stronger and the stock market is up and everyone is talking about how positive the markets are about the election result and the government of national unity, but here and there you find an economist who says, no, local politics is not as important a driver as what we think. So what is it that counts? This is known as the so-called "carry trade".
