IT has been a heady year that we are saying farewell to. A hard-fought stability was brought to the economy in 2024, but at a steep cost. Politics had to be ended, rights rolled back, and decision-making centralised in the hands of the establishment before any of the stability could be procured. It was done, and here we are.
The most ferocious inflationary fire we have ever seen in our history has finally been extinguished, even if it took record-high interest for a prolonged period of time to bring this about.
