The Bond Market and Fiscal Institutions: Have Budget Stabilization Funds Reduced State Borrowing Costs?

Significance The announcement will put further pressure on South Africa’s already stressed financial markets. The rand and bond prices fell sharply yesterday, raising questions about whether the downgrade had indeed already been priced in by the market. Impacts The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) may have to take further measures in the coming weeks to stabilise markets. The recent bond market crash means that borrowing costs will go up across the economy and will weigh on banks' ability to fund customers. The government and the SARB will likely be forced soon to unveil further measures to support businesses and the growing unemployed.

Reduced State

SummaryQuantitative glycoprotein (GP) analysis of whole platelets or platelet membranes was performed by SDS-polyacrylamide gelelectrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and periodic acid Schiff staining in the families of two unrelated Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia (GT) patients. Each family consisted of two symptom free parents, a symptom free daughter and a GT daughter. All symptom free members had a normal bleeding time, clot retraction and platelet aggregation response to adenosine 5’-diphosphate (ADP), collagen and adrenalin. Platelet Zw* antigen was normally expressed in these subjects. GT patiens, classified as a type I and II subject, showed reduced amounts of GP lib and of GP nia. Analysis of isolated membranes in the non-reduced state, however, showed that the amount of GP Ilia was also reduced in three of the four parents, whereas one parent (of the GT type I patient) and the two unaffected daughters had normal amounts of GP Ilia. Quantitative SDS-PAGE may therefore provide a method for the detection of asymptomatic carriers in GT type I and II.
