Amazinga okuzethemba komkhiqizi ahlala ephansi ngenxa yokucisha ugesi, imikhawulo yamanzi kanye nezinkinga zokuthutha phakathi nekota yesine, nokuzethemba kwebhizinisi sekukonke kungashintshile kumaphoyinti angu-26, ngemva kokwehla kabili kwekota okulandelanayo. Ngokocwaningo lwe-Q4 Absa Manufacturing Survey, abakhiqizi abaningi basalokhu bengenathemba ngezimo zebhizinisi ezilindelekile ezinyangeni ezingu-12 ezizayo nakuba ukuzethemba kungazange kushintshe ekota yesine, mhlawumbe ngenxa yokukhuphuka kwezindleko zokusebenza njengoba abakhiqizi besebenzisa izindlela zokuthi bahlale bekhiqiza ngesikhathi sokucishwa kukagesi. Ucwaningo lwekota, oluhlanganisa cishe osomabhizinisi abangama-700 emkhakheni wezokukhiqiza, lwenziwe yiBureau for Economic Research (BER)…
Amazinga okuzethemba komkhiqizi ahlala ephansi ngenxa yokucisha ugesi, imikhawulo yamanzi kanye nezinkinga zokuthutha phakathi nekota yesine, nokuzethemba kwebhizinisi sekukonke kungashintshile kumaphoyinti angu-26, ngemva kokwehla kabili kwekota okulandelanayo.
Ngokocwaningo lwe-Q4 Absa Manufacturing Survey, abakhiqizi abaningi basalokhu bengenathemba ngezimo zebhizinisi ezilindelekile ezinyangeni ezingu-12 ezizayo nakuba ukuzethemba kungazange kushintshe ekota yesine, mhlawumbe ngenxa yokukhuphuka kwezindleko zokusebenza njengoba abakhiqizi besebenzisa izindlela zokuthi bahlale bekhiqiza ngesikhathi sokucishwa kukagesi.
Ucwaningo lwekota, olubandakanya osomabhizinisi abangaba ngu-700 emkhakheni wokukhiqiza, lwenziwe yi-Bureau for Economic Research (BER) eNyuvesi yaseStellenbosch phakathi kuka-26 Okthoba no-14 Novemba 2022. ukuntula ukuzethemba kanye 100 ukuzethemba ngokwedlulele, lapho bonke ababambiqhaza benelisekile ngezimo zebhizinisi zamanje.
“Naphezu kwekota yesine kube yisikhathi sokuthengisa esiphezulu kubakhiqizi, ukunyuka kwezindleko zokukhiqiza kanye nesidingo esinganele njengoba abathengi bezabalaza nokukhuphuka kwezindleko zokuphila kukhinyabeze intuthuko engase ibe khona ukuzethemba kule kota,” kusho uJustin Schmidt, inhloko yomkhakha wezokukhiqiza kwa-Absa Relationship Banking.

Isidingo esinganele sithinta ukuzethemba komkhiqizi
Isidingo esinganele sizohlala sikhathaza njengoba abakhiqizi abaningi belindele amanani okuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe nama-oda okuthengisa ukuthi ehle kwikota elandelayo.
“Ngokwenyuka kwezindleko zokukhiqiza kanye namanani okuthengisa angashintshile, amamajini angase aqhubeke nokuba ngaphansi kwengcindezi kule kota okwenza ukuphatha imali yokusebenza kube phambili,” kusho uSchmidt.
Okuhle, abanye abakhiqizi babonise ukwenyuka kokutshalwa kwezimali okungaguquki okutholwe engxenyeni yesine. “Lokhu kungase kube yinkomba yokuthi abakhiqizi batshala imali kumaphrojekthi kagesi avuselelekayo kanye nemishini eyonga ugesi kanye nemishini ukuze kunqandwe umthelela wokucisha ugesi kanye nothango ngokumelene nokukhuphuka kwezindleko zikagesi,” kusho uSchmidt.
Nakuba umkhakha wezokukhiqiza udonsa kanzima ukukhulisa umfutho, kunezici ezinhle ezingase zibe ngcono izinombolo zokukhiqiza zekota yesine yokugcina.
USchmidt uthi ukwenyuka kwegalelo lezokukhiqiza ku-GDP yekota yesithathu kukhombisa ikhono lomkhakha wokuhlala uqinile futhi uqhubeke nokuba nomthelela omuhle emnothweni waseNingizimu Afrika.
“I-Absa isalokhu izibophezele ekwesekeni ukutshalwa kwezimali kumaphrojekthi kagesi oluhlaza njengesu lokudambisa ubungozi labakhiqizi kanye nendlela yokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni. Ukutshalwa kwezimali okungaguquki kuzoba ukhiye ekukhuleni nasekuvuseleleni umkhakha kanye nomnotho wonkana ukuya phambili.”
Uthe njengoba abakhiqizi abaningi njengamanje betshala imali yabo ekukhiqizeni ugesi futhi bebheka izindlela zokusebenzisa ugesi omncane, u-Absa usazimisele ngokweseka imboni yokukhiqiza ohambweni lwabo.
