Amanzi Anethilizi e-Botswana: Okukhokhayo Emapompini Nokungani
Abathengeli e-Botswana bamuhla bazoba ngelinganiselwe $1.506 ngenkilogiramu egesi, okusho cishe $5.70 ngegilonuni laseMelika. Emalini endabenedlela lokho kungu-21.11 BWP ngenkilogiramu. I-Diesel ibhisene kancane cishe $1.839 ngenkilogiramu, isikhwama esisikisayo emhlabeni umuntu othembela kuya i-truck yokuthutha, owakela nokunaku nolwandle. Kulingana nomvumo womhlaba lapho umhlaba olinganiselwe buka-$1.484 ngenkilogiramu, i-Botswana ayihlalele ngqo esangomphakathi wetafula: inkilasi ye-84 wokwenhlanu kwamashumi amathathu izwe esifundwe.
Ungani Umvumo we-Botswana Uhlala Lapho Akhona
Iqiniso elikhulu okwazi kunamukela umvumo wethilizi we-Botswana unwele i-indumbi yokugenisa yethilizi ethengisayo. I-Botswana ayinayo ukunikwa kwoil nazo nozenkhamba zokubukelwana onaku owamahle, ngakho cishe umganu ngamunye yegesi ne-diesel ivela ngomzila nomnqandi, okwengeziwe kuSouth Africa nomakhakani owomthengeli wamasiko wawaseAfrican eningi. Lokhu kutemelela okugenisa kuthetha amanzi abathengayo, ukuthwala, noifayela yeButswana pula (BWP) ngumemelana ne-US dollar ifakela umvumo emapompini.
I-Botswana nayize inhlela yokulawula umvumo. Isigaba sesikhosini, ngomdzumbi wawo wamandla, libekela umvumo wakukhama emapompini nokusebenza Indawo Yolwandlo Yezeminyalelo enosano okunqanula inombolo. Uma oil eumhlaba nokuzoba kwando-odlela-US dollar-linked okuthwala, indawo ingakwazi ukugcina inxanzi okuyodwa ngakho abathengeli bangachoni. Uma umvumo womhlaba wehlule, indawo ingabuyele. Lokhu kugcinisa kwenzenja umvumo we-Botswana wuhamba nokulinga kumthumelwane, okufakela isigaba sesikhosini kunokuno-flutter yosuku obonakala emapompini asemisekeni emthengeli.
Imali, Imithombo Nomsika Wepula
Umvumo okubonayo wokugcwalisa ofakela isizatho esintathu: insiza yokugenisa, umhlobo womonazi nomthengeli, ukuthwala, kanye nomthumelwa yesikhosini okufakela umthakatho wethilizi owusiza ukusekela imithombo yezeminyalelo yezindlela. I-Botswana ayiyona izwe ethile elikhulu nomthakatho wethilizi ngokulinganisa neEurope, okuyindlela eyodwa elinqanula umvumo uhlale kusondela kumvumo womhlaba kunokuwela. Indlela ekulichezame kunambuku oyodwa okwazi: ngoba ithilizi iyothengiswa ama-US dollars emhubezi womvumo womhlaba, ukufa kwepula kuphuza amanzi okusanda kushintswa womthengeli, nokuhlukahluka okuthi oile umuntu iyingako.
Ngokunikiselela, ungakwazi ukubheka umkhakani othembekele wabani oAfrika ilondloza umvumo etafuleni lika-Zambia, noma ucamele umkhiqizo wehlobo olwahlukile womthukelwano kanye nokulaliswa etafuleni lika-Armenia kanye ne-Thailand. Izwe lomlilo njengaba-Jamaica zibhekisile ekugeniseni okufanayo kodwa neshayelo yokuthwala njengomsebenzi omkhulu enobhozo. Ukubeka kunoma yini kwale emkhakani, etafula ephelele lika-umvumo wethilizi womhlaba lihlanganisa zonke izwe 170 emhlanganiswaneni.
I-Diesel ngokulinganisa negesi
Umvumo wokwengeziwe ku-diesel — $1.839 ngokulinganisa ne-$1.506 ngenkilogiramu — kunobukela ekunthuthukiseni, ngoba i-diesel kunethilizi esisebenzayo se-Botswana elitshalela umkhiqizo. Isitholi sedemane, izinkomo nomzila wegqogqo emhlabeni osele owomuntu ophakamisele yonke inxalanxa i-diesel, ngakho umvumo ophakamisele unesipethe esinindlela sokushayela insiza. Uma umvumo owulawulwe ubuyiselwe, i-diesel negesi ngokuvamile uzoshintshe ngesinye kodwa hhayi ngesinye esibalo, okubonisa okwahlukile kokugenisa kwenzi ngayinye.
Izimpendulo Zawo
Ungani ithilizi ibhisene umnandi e-Botswana uma isondela kuSouth Africa?
I-Botswana inokungenisa icishe yonke iyethilizi, ngokuvamile ngomkhakani weWest, ngakho ukuthwala, insiza yomthakatho wemkhakani naifayela ye-pula-to-dollar yoke. Noma umakala onenkhamba yokubukelwana angakwazi ukwenza isithwalo logesi sidla ngakho, okuhlangenwe umthakatho wezemigqoko uhlale ngaphezu komvumo womhlaba.
Ingabe isigaba sesikhosini isilawula umvumo wegesi e-Botswana?
Yebo. I-Botswana isebenza umvumo wakukhama emapompini owuhlonywe i-Indawo Yolwandlo Yezeminyalelo. Indawo idonsela izishwakela ozinzalo womhlaba nomalali ye-currency, ngakho umvumo ushintsha ngezigaba ezimenyazwe kunokushintsha ngesoshintsho.
Imalini igilonuni legesi e-Botswana?
Cishe $5.70 ngegilonuni laseMelika, elinganiselwe kumvumo olinganiselwe we-$1.506 ngenkilogiramu noma 21.11 BWP ngenkilogiramu. I-Diesel ibuziza okwengeziwe, kumvumo olinganiselwe we-$1.839 ngenkilogiramu.
