Zhao Leji, chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee, poses for a photo after his meeting with President of the National Council of Switzerland Maja Riniker (R) and President of the Council of States of Switzerland Andrea Caroni (L) in Switzerland, July 30, 2025. Image: Xinhua China's top legislator Zhao Leji called for jointly advancing the high-level development of the China-Switzerland innovative strategic partnership during an official goodwill visit to the country from Monday to Thursday. Switzerland was one of the first Western countries that established diplomatic ties with the People's Republic of China, said Zhao, chairman of the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, during his meeting with President of the National Council of Switzerland Maja Riniker and President of the Council of States of Switzerland Andrea Caroni. Over the 75 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, the two countries have jointly cultivated a spirit of cooperation featuring "equality, innovation and win-win," setting a model for cooperation between countries with different social systems, at different stages of development and of varying sizes, he said. China stands ready to work with Switzerland to implement the important consensus reached by leaders of the two countries and promote the high-level development of the China-Switzerland innovative strategic partnership, Zhao said. He noted that mutual respect and mutual trust are important foundations for the long-term stable development of bilateral relations, and that China is willing to maintain the positive momentum of high-level exchanges with Switzerland and welcomes more Swiss leaders and parliamentarians to visit China to understand a real, multidimensional and comprehensive China. Respecting each other's core interests and major concerns is a valuable experience and the right approach to China-Switzerland relations, he said, adding that China appreciates Switzerland's commitment to expanding cooperation with China and hopes to strengthen exchanges and interactions to pool more positive energy for the development of bilateral relations. Switzerland is the first continental European country that signed free trade agreement with China, and bilateral economic and trade cooperation has grown rapidly since the deal came into effect, said Zhao, who also expects to jointly push forward negotiations on upgrading the free trade agreement and high-quality financial cooperation, as well as welcomes the expansion of investment in China by Swiss capitals. He also called for enhancing cooperation in arts, sports, education and between local governments to consolidate the social and public support for bilateral friendship. He expressed the hope that China and Switzerland, both important forces loving peace and advocating multilateralism, will continue to enhance multilateral coordination, jointly combat unilateralism and protectionism, and safeguard international trade rules and world economic order, so as to promote a more just and equitable global governance.

EU-US trade deal slaps EU exports with shocking 15% tariffs
The European Union (EU) and the United States (US) finalised a major trade agreement on 28 July 2025. The deal introduces a 15% tariff on most EU exports to the U.S. market. This tariff is a significant increase for most goods in key sectors like automotive and machinery. Additionally, it mitigates the threat of a much steeper 30% tariff in early August. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the agreement brings 'stability and predictability' for EU exporters. She acknowledged that while a 15% tariff is significant, it reflects the best result under current geopolitical tensions. Her remarks followed weeks of intense negotiations between EU and U.S. trade officials. Before the deal, U.S. tariffs on EU exports averaged around 2%, varying by sector, according to World Trade Organisation (WTO) data. However, the new flat rate was considered a compromise to prevent an escalating trade war. Markets responded quickly. Despite short-term volatility, analysts suggest the deal may offer longer-term stability. Still, some industries fear the tariff burden will weaken EU competitiveness globally. Others argue that the agreement creates a predictable baseline for future transatlantic trade talks. On 31 July 2025, President Trump announced a 39% import tariff on Swiss goods, effective 7 August 2025. This tariff will directly impact Swiss luxury brands like Swatch and Richemont, leading to higher costs and weakening demand. Pharmaceutical companies Novartis and Roche will also face increased pressure to reduce drug prices in the U.S. Following the announcement, the Swiss franc weakened against the U.S. dollar, and major Swiss stock indices opened lower. Meanwhile, the Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce called the tariff move 'disappointing' but expressed hope for a future resolution. The euro did not appreciate against the US dollar in July 2025. The exchange rate showed a slight depreciation. The euro began the month with a high of approximately $1.1810 on 1 July 2025 and ended the month at around $1.15788, with an average rate for the month of approximately $1.15863. The South African Rand (ZAR) equivalent of these values is not included as exchange rates fluctuate daily. The S&P 500 did not lose ground in the days following a major deal. The S&P 500 showed strong performance throughout July, rising by 2.2% over the month and posting its third consecutive month of gains. While there was some volatility and a slight downturn at the very end of the month, the overall trend was positive, driven by strong corporate earnings, particularly in the technology sector, and a generally improved economic outlook. The EU and US did reach a trade agreement in late July 2025. The EU made political commitments to invest $600 billion (R11.4 trillion) in the United States by 2028 and to purchase $750 billion (R14.25 trillion) worth of American energy products through 2028, with the specific intent of reducing dependency on Russian energy supplies. These figures represent political agreements and anticipated private-sector involvement, not legally binding contracts. Yields on European government bonds did not decline following the trade deal. Throughout July 2025, eurozone government bond yields, including the German 10-year bund, generally drifted higher. This spike was attributed to a broadly positive growth sentiment in the Eurozone and an improving economic outlook. This rally occurred despite the European Central Bank (ECB) keeping interest rates stable in July. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz welcomed the trade deal, stating that it prevented a 'needless escalation' in transatlantic trade relations. However, German industry groups, such as the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), expressed concern that the 15% tariff would harm Germany's export economy, costing the industry billions annually. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban criticised von der Leyen, calling the deal 'worse than the UK's'. French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou labelled it a 'dark day' for EU sovereignty. Analysts warn the bloc may face lasting reputational and economic damage from the concessions. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 11.

South Africa's billionaire elite: How 7 men built their fortunes
It's often said that making money is easy – once you already have some. In South Africa, a handful of influential businessmen have taken this notion to new heights, transforming family fortunes, bold moves, and savvy investments into global business empires worth billions. According to Forbes' real-time billionaire tracker, seven South African billionaires now collectively command a staggering $36 billion (R647 billion) in net worth, cementing their place in the upper echelons of global wealth. From mining to media, retail to finance, their stories – though diverse – share common themes: strategic vision, intergenerational capital, and a keen sense of timing. While some billionaires inherited strong foundations, others built their empires from smart bets and timely pivots. Their journeys underscore the power of compound wealth – growing riches over time through reinvestment and diversification. While some figures remain controversial, particularly due to the stark inequalities in South Africa, their influence over business and markets is undeniable. In a country grappling with rising living costs and high unemployment, the extreme wealth at the top continues to spark conversation. But it also demonstrates how capital, when carefully managed, can span generations and borders. Whether admired or critiqued, these men represent the sharp end of South Africa's financial pyramid – where money not only begets more money, but also power, access, and influence on a global stage. As the old adage goes: 'The rich get richer.' Meanwhile, in terms of the overall world list, South Africa-born Elon Musk remains the world's richest person with a reported $398 billion.
