Unyaka ka-2021 usakhethekile kancane ezimbonini eziningi, ngoba kusukela ekuqaleni kwalonyaka, izimpahla eziningi zilethe ukwenyuka kwentengo. Kubonakala sengathi, ngaphandle kwentengo yengulube, eyehlayo, intengo yezinye izimpahla iyakhuphuka. Kubandakanya izidingo zansuku zonke, iphepha langasese, imikhiqizo yasemanzini, njll., ngaphandle kokukhetha, ukwenyuka kwentengo kwenziwe.

Kubandakanya imakethe yendwangu, zonke izinhlobo zezinto zokusetshenziswa nazo ziholele ekukhuphukeni kwentengo. Okubaluleke kakhulu, ngokubuyiselwa kwama-oda endwangu avela emazweni aseNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia njenge-India, izinkampani zendwangu zasekhaya manje sezamukele inani elikhulu lama-oda. Kodwa-ke, ukwanda kwama-oda bekufanele kube yinto enhle, futhi izinkampani eziningi zikhathazekile. Ngomongo wokwanda kwezinto zokusetshenziswa, inzuzo yalezi zinkampani zendwangu iye yacindezelwa kaningi, futhi kube nezimo lapho besaba khona ukwamukela ama-oda.

Izibalo zibonisa ukuthi kusukela ngoJanuwari kuya kuMeyi 2021, ukuthunyelwa kwendwangu nezingubo kuzwelonke kufinyelele ku-US$112.69 billion, ukwanda konyaka nonyaka okungu-17.3%. Ukuthunyelwa kwezingubo ngoMeyi kuphela kufinyelele ku-12.2 billion zamaRandi aseMelika, ukwanda konyaka nonyaka okungu-37.1%. Kodwa-ke, amanani ezinto zokusetshenziswa ezigciniwe kanye nezinto zokusetshenziswa kwendwangu abelokhu ekhuphuka njalo, futhi intengo yendwangu kakotini yangaphambilini ivele “ngokulungiswa okukodwa ngosuku” noma “ngokulungiswa okubili ngosuku”. Abantu abaningi bayazibuza ukuthi isizini ephezulu yokukhiqizwa kwendwangu iyeza? Eqinisweni, ingcindezi ebhekene namabhizinisi ibikezelwa. Embonini yendwangu, indwangu kakotini kungathiwa iyona edingeka kakhulu. Kodwa-ke, kusukela engxenyeni yesibili ka-2020, intengo kakotini iqhubekile nokukhuphuka, futhi intengo yendwangu nayo ithintekile. Izibalo ezingezinhle zibonisa ukuthi izindleko zokukhiqiza izindwangu ezimpunga ngokuvamile zikhuphuke ngo-20% kuya ku-30%. Ngenkathi izinto zokusetshenziswa eziphezulu zikhuphuka ngentengo, izinkampani ezingezansi azinawo “amalungelo okukhuluma” amaningi. Kubandakanya intengo yokuthengisa, angifuni ukukhuphula ngokunganaki, ngaphandle kwalokho kulula ukulahlekelwa amakhasimende. Yingakho sithi ivolumu ye-oda inyukile, kodwa inzuzo yenkampani yehlile.

Izinguquko emananini alezi zinto zokusetshenziswa zezindwangu zenze intengo yokuthengiswa kwezimpahla ezithengiswayo yengubo evamile yekotini yakhuphuka ngama-yuan ayi-8. Ezinkampanini ezingezansi, akunakugwenywa ukugcina inzuzo nokukhulisa amanani. Kodwa ukuze kugcinwe amakhasimende, intengo ingalungiswa kancane. Njengoba zibhekene nesimo sanamuhla, izinkampani eziningi zezindwangu “zizisola” kancane, ngoba ngonyaka odlule ngenxa yomthelela wezimo ezikhethekile, imakethe yemboni yezindwangu yayihamba kancane. Kulo nyaka, izinkampani eziningi ziqale ukuqoqa ngokucophelela, futhi empeleni zithenga izinto zokusetshenziswa eziningi ngangokunokwenzeka. Ngokungalindelekile, izinto zokusetshenziswa zizokhuphuka kakhulu kulo nyaka, futhi ama-oda amaningi asesandleni asekelwe entengo yemakethe yonyaka odlule. Ngaphansi kwalokhu kukhula, inzuzo izonyamalala ngokwemvelo.

Ngenxa yokulungiswa okulandelanayo kwamanani ezinto zokusetshenziswa kwendwangu, ezinye izinkampani zithole amathuba amasha ebhizinisi. Ngezinga elithile, izindwangu zezinye izingubo akudingeki zenziwe ngezinto zokusetshenziswa ezifana noboya bekotini. Abantu abaningi kungenzeka ukuthi babengacabangi ukuthi amabhodlela epulasitiki angasetshenziswa futhi ekwenzeni izingubo.

Namuhla, le makethe inezinqubo ezikhethekile, okuhlanganisa ukuphinda kusetshenziswe amabhodlela epulasitiki angcolile, ngemva kokuwasha, ukukhethwa kanye nezinye izinqubo eziningi, ukukhiqiza imicu yefayibha esetshenzisiwe. Le micu empeleni ifana nefilamenti yefayibha yokuqala, futhi akukho mehluko ekuzizweni ngisho nasekuthinteni. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, amabhodlela epulasitiki angcolile angadliwa, okulingana nokuvikela imvelo; ngakolunye uhlangothi, kungonakalisa nezindleko zamabhizinisi. Ukusebenzisa amabhodlela epulasitiki angcolile ukukhiqiza izingubo kungathiwa kuyindlela enhle uma kukhulunywa ngokukhuphuka kwamanani ezinto zokusetshenziswa.
