This after US President Donald Trump ordered an airstrike that killed Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani in Iraq last week.
The White House accused Soleimani of being the mastermind in the attacks on Americans during the past two decade. Signs of global market jitters are evident after the Japanese yen and Swiss franc pulled back from recent highs. This as investors become less anxious about the chances of an all-out conflict between the US and Iran.
In a series of tweets, Mboweni has joined a number of leaders and officials who have condemned actions by the US.Mboweni says escalating tensions between the US and Iran will have an adverse impact on the global economy, including the South African economy.Mboweni says preventative diplomacy is key in the current context.
Iran's quota to opec will be affected leading to rise in oil price tantamount to increase in transport and food amongst others. This will surely affect the poor
