## Resource

On this week’s Bizskoops: South African business confidence weakened sharply in the second quarter, while the country has recorded the highest rate of suspected digital fraud in Africa. Chris Hattingh of the Centre for Risk Analysis shares insights on whether current policy responses are addressing the right problems. Professor Waldo Krugell provides an overview of key financial indicators at the start of a new month. In global business news, Tesla’s China-made electric vehicle sales rose sharply in May, while governments worldwide are taking steps to shield consumers from rising energy costs linked to the Middle East conflict. On the local front, Tiger Brands has decided to sell its Beacon Easter eggs and chocolate slab business, as well as the Beacon brand itself, as part of an ongoing restructuring strategy. We conclude our conversation with Pieter Wasserfall of JustMoney, who shares valuable advice on investing this week.
