Indonesia sees nickel holding near current level on new plants
Published: 05 Sep 24
Indonesia’s government sees nickel prices stabilizing near current levels in the future, as new plants in the world’s biggest producer offset rising demand and keep the market well supplied.
Prices on the London Metal Exchange should hold around $15 000 to $16 000 a ton in the short to medium term, Septian Hario Seto, a deputy at the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment, said in a presentation in Bali on Thursday. An additional 928 000 tons a year of capacity is set to come online within the next three years, most of which will produce nickel for electric vehicles.Indonesia’s government sees nickel prices stabilizing near current levels in the future, as new plants in the world’s biggest producer offset rising demand and keep the market well supplied.

Busa calls out govt for failing to hold ‘structured’ NHI discussions
Published: 05 Sep 24
Industry body Business Unity South Africa on Thursday expressed disappointment that despite commitments by the government to engage on the National Health Insurance Act, structured discussions have not yet taken place, affirming its readiness to participate in meaningful dialogue with government. Busa CEO Cas Coovadia said the organisation was aiming for formal, constructive engagement with the President, Minister of Health and National Treasury, that was focused on collaboration, for an equitable and sustainable healthcare system. He also expressed concern about the “inappropriate rhetoric” aimed at those who have raised concerns around the NHI Act in its current form. This is seemingly in reference to recent statements made by Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi, when he compared criticism of the NHI to apartheid-era scaremongering. “Raising these concerns is not only appropriate, but in fact, the responsible and necessary course of action to ensure that the path that we choose as a country is both viable and sustainable,” Coovadia said.

South Africa's current account deficit narrows again in second quarter
Published: 05 Sep 24
South Africa's current account deficit narrowed in the second quarter, to 0.9% of gross domestic product from 1.5% of GDP in the first quarter, central bank data showed on Thursday. In rand terms the current account deficit narrowed to R64.6-billion in April to June, from R106.9-billion in the previous three-month period. The trade surplus widened further to R187.4-billion in the second quarter from R165.8-billion in the first quarter. "The increase in the value of exports of goods and services in the second quarter of 2024 reflected higher prices while the increase in imports of goods and services reflected both higher volumes and prices," the South African Reserve Bank said in a statement. South Africa's economy grew 0.4% in the second quarter, statistics agency data showed on Tuesday, supported by higher consumer spending and power availability, but output declines in agriculture, mining and transport meant growth was slightly weaker than expected.
