Weak GDP, growth proposals hit rand

South Africa’s rand fell against the dollar on Tuesday after surprisingly poor economic data and a ministerial proposal to boost growth by cutting interest rates and weakening the currency.
It was unclear how many — if any — of Economic Development Minister Ebrahim Patel’s proposals would end up being adopted but his comments about “somewhat looser monetary policy with lower interest rates” pushed the rand down 1 percent on the day.
Talking to a parliamentary committee, Patel, a former trade unionist, also proposed more building of foreign reserves, establishing a sovereign wealth fund and looking at ways to offset the negative impact of short-term capital inflows.
The rand has gained more than 25 percent against the dollar this year, due in large part to foreign investors piling into its relatively high-yielding debt, leading to calls from trade unions and exporters for intervention.
The central bank has stepped up its dollar-buying in the last couple of months, but both it and the government have stressed that going down this route is costly and carries no guarantees of working given the huge external sums involved.
The release of Patel’s 36-page policy document reflects a desire in President Jacob Zuma’s government to tackle unemployment of more than 25 percent — especially after the loss of more than a million jobs in last year’s recession, the first in 17 years.
However, it does not mean the ruling African National Congress (ANC) is about to abandon the fiscal sobriety that has typified its handling of the economy since the end of apartheid in 1994, analysts said.
“I wouldn’t hold my breath,” said political analyst Nic Borain. “The ANC has historically got these documents from within government with a lot of very complex plans, and they’ve just sat on them and continued doing what they’ve always done, which is orthodoxy.”
WEAK GROWTH
Weighing in Patel’s favour, however, were weaker-than-expected gross domestic product figures that revealed the extent to which South Africa is lagging other emerging markets, especially in Asia.
Official data showed Africa’s biggest economy grew by just 2.6 percent in the third quarter of 2010, compared to a surprise downward revision of second quarter growth to 3.1 percent.
Economists who had been expecting on average expansion of 3.5 percent for July-September said the weak numbers vindicated last week’s Reserve Bank decision to cut interest rates by 50 basis points to a historic low of 5.5 percent.
“We also maintain our view that as long as economic growth remains below potential, it keeps a possibility of further monetary easing alive, although it is not our base-line view that they will cut again,” said at Renaissance BJM economist Elna Moolman.
Particularly worrying for the government was the performance of the manufacturing sector, which contracted 5 percent compared to the previous quarter due to sluggish global demand, the strong rand and a series of strikes.
Manufacturing is the second biggest contributor to economic growth and is seen as the keystone to job creation. – Reuters

Philippine Congress Takes Interest In PAL Employee Lay-Offs
Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines (AHN) – The Philippine Congress has taken an interest in the Philippine Airlines labor row after Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz allowed the flag carrier to lay off 2,600 workers.
The House Labor and Employment Committee will set a hearing in the coming days to probe the alleged anti-labor practices of PAL. The hearing would consolidate seven bills and resolutions with the committee, according to Rep. Emil Ong, who chairs the committee.
However, Ong admitted that Congress has no power to reverse Baldoz’s decision. The labor secretary ruled it is lawful for the air carrier to lay off the 2,600 workers and outsource the tasks the employees perform to cut on costs.
On Tuesday, President Benigno Aquino III – who just returned from a five-day state visit in Vietnam – said he would review the PAL decision of Baldoz, but would respect any decision made by the Court of Appeals. The PAL Employees Association said they would elevate Baldoz’s ruling with the Court of Appeals.
On the same day, workers to be affected by the layoff held a rally at the Mendiola Bridge, which is near the president’s office, to protest the DOLE decision.
