DIE HERE WAT REGEER GEE MY KRAG

17 Al sou die vyeboom nie bot nie en daar geen druiwe aan die wingerde wees nie, al sou die olyfoes misluk en die lande geen oes lewer nie, al sou daar geen kleinvee in die kampe meer wees nie en die beeskrale sonder beeste wees,

1. DIE SLEGTE NUUS.

18 nogtans sal ek in die Here jubel, sal ek juig in God, my Redder.

Die nuutste opname in wêreld ekonomie is dat die tweede grootste ekonomie, die Chinese, ‘n groot afname beleef in fabriek uitset. Talle fabrieke word gesluit. Impak op wêreld mark is enorm groot.

19 Die Here my God gee vir my krag. Hy maak my voete soos dié van ’n ribbok, op hoë plekke laat Hy my veilig loop. Vir die koorleier. Met snarespel.

The head of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Georgieva added: “Global cooperation is essential to the containment of the Covid-19 and its economic impact, particularly if the outbreak turns out to be more persistent and widespread.”

More than 76,000 people in 27 countries have been infected by the new strain of coronavirus that originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan at the turn of the year. More than 2,200 people have died.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA), the trade body for the global airline industry, warned last week that falling passenger demand would cost the airline industry $29.3bn (£23.7bn) in lost revenues this year, with global air travel expected to fall for the first time in more than a decade.

Ontleders het gewaarsku dat vervoergroepe, gasvryheid kettings, lugrederye, luukse goedere makers en kleinhandelaars onder diegene sal wees wat die hardste getref deur die Corona as Chinese verbruikers weg bly van die winkels en reisigers vakansie planne kanseleer.

There are also concerns for global supply chains as Chinese factories remain closed. Jaguar Land Rover warned last week it could run out of car parts at its British factories by next week. The car manufacturer admitted it had been bringing in parts from China to the UK in suitcases.

It is becoming increasingly clear, however, that this new coronavirus is likely to do much more damage than Sars. Not only has Covid-19 already caused more deaths than its predecessor; its economic consequences are likely to be compounded by unfavourable conditions – beginning with China’s increased economic vulnerability.

Fears over the spread of coronavirus have prompted a record plunge in the US stock market, as analysts warned the outbreak could wreak economic havoc on a scale not seen since the 2008 financial crisis.

Vrese oor die verspreiding van Corona het 'n rekordval in die AMERIKAANSE aandelebeurs gebring, aangesien ontleders gewaarsku het dat die uitbreking ekonomiese verwoesting op 'n skaal kon veroorsaak wat nie sedert die 2008 finansiële krisis gesien was nie

Thursday’s slump in financial markets came as countries stepped up efforts to contain the virus by banning travel, closing schools and postponing major sporting events and business conferences

The value of London-listed companies has fallen by more than £150bn since markets opened on Monday, a prolonged selloff widely attributed to Covid-19.

As well as being the Dow’s worst points fall ever, the index’s 4.4% drop was its worst percentage fall in two years. Meanwhile the tech-focused Nasdaq index tumbled by 4.6%, its worst daily loss since 2011.

Scott Minerd of financial services firm Guggenheim Partners told Bloomberg TV that the coronavirus outbreak “is possibly the worst thing I’ve ever seen in my career”, a time-span which includes the 1987 crash and the collapse of Lehman Brothers.

“This has the potential to reel into something extremely serious,” Minerd warned. “It’s very hard to imagine a scenario where you can actually contain this, and so that’s the thing that to me is very frightening.”

A flurry of big names joined the lengthening list of companies reporting a serious impact on their finances and warning of further pain ahead if the outbreak’s progress cannot be halted soon.

· Microsoft, PayPal and Standard Chartered all forecast disappointing profits.

· Facebook cancelled its annual developer conference in California where the company usually unveils new products to thousands of software engineers and entrepreneurs.

· Goldman Sachs warned coronavirus could wipe out profit growth at US companies in 2020.

· Aston Martin predicted falling sales and warned of disruption to its supply chain.

· Property firms pulled out of the industry’s annual Mipim conference, due to take place in Cannes next month.

· Budweiser beer owner ABInBev reported a $170m hit to profits.

· Advertising firm WPP quarantined staff returning from Asian countries.

· Cosmetics firm L’Oréal banned travel for its 86,000 staff.

· Shoemaker Crocs said Asian disruption would cut its revenues by up to $30m.

Some of the world’s best-known brands such as Apple, McDonalds and Starbucks have already counted the cost of the outbreak, while entire industries such as tourism, aviation and the automotive sector are struggling to cope with disruption.

Analysts are now warning that the combined effect of the virus and measures put in place to prevent its spread could weigh heavily on the global economy.

According to the consultancy Capital Economics, the outbreak turning into a full-blown international pandemic would trigger severe upheaval for world trade, markets and currencies on a par with the financial crisis, when global GDP fell by 0.5%.

Wat gaan die impak wees vir Suid Afrika. Die regering sal nie sy verpligtinge kan nakom nie. Belasting sal ingevorder kan word nie.

Ons is reeds ‘n rommelhoop. Belasting inkomstes sal minder wees. Staatskuld is 65% bruto binnelandse inkomste. Geen buitelandse lenings. Hospitale sal nie druk kan hanteer en voorraad sal kwyn. Staatskuld is 65% bruto binnelandse inkomste. Geen buitelandse lenings. Alle markte kan in duie stort. Banke bankrot. Pensioene verdwyn. Staatskuld is 65% bruto binnelandse inkomste.

(Die Lewende Bybel)

6 Julle moet julle nie oor enigiets bekommer nie. Bid daaroor en sê vir God duidelik wat julle wil hê. Vra Hom om dit vir julle te doen en sê vir Hom dankie!

(Die Lewende Bybel)

25 “Dit is daarom dat Ek vir julle sê: moenie bekommerd wees oor wat julle sal eet of drink om aan die lewe te bly nie of oor die klere wat julle sal aantrek nie. ’n Mens se lewe is tog belangriker as die kos wat jy eet, en jou liggaam is belangriker as die klere wat jy aantrek.

(Die Lewende Bybel)

14 Wat my betref, ek wil nooit oor iets spog nie behalwe oor die kruis van ons Here Jesus Christus. Omdat Christus op die kruis gesterf het, is die aantreklike dinge van die wêreld vir my dood en sonder aantrekkingskrag en ek self is ook dood wat die dinge in die wêreld betref—dit is nie waarvoor ek leef nie.
