How global economic forces land on your decisions.
Streetwise Economics helps businesses and institutions understand how inflation, interest rates,
currency, and trade move through to the decision in front of them — across North America and
Southern Africa.
We take the big external forces and show you what they mean for your business..
Streetwise Economics delivers economic research, government and institutional consulting, and capital advisory built on transparent data and reproducible models.
Every paper we publish shows our method in full, so the work speaks for itself.
Labour market and economic-impact studies, sector analysis, forecasting, and decision-support for governments, First Nations organisations, and institutions. Every engagement is grounded in transparent, replicable econometric work.
Financial & Capital Advisory
Financial modelling, feasibility and viability analysis, user-fee and budgeting studies, and capital-readiness advisory. Preparing projects and organisations to engage capital with credible numbers. Led with Ronald Maeresera, CPA, CMA, MPA.
The proof is published
We don’t just claim this. We publish it, every method, in full, free to read. Our research reports show exactly how we work: the data, the models, and the judgment. They are the reason clients trust the analysis we do behind closed doors.
Most decisions that matter are being forced by something outside the room a currency move, a rate decision, a trade shock. We make that force legible, so you can decide with clear numbers behind you.
Protecting margins under inflation & FX
When the exchange rate and prices keep moving, what should you charge, and when? We model the pass-through so your pricing holds.
Is the project worth it?
Expansion, investment, or a new line — we test it against the return your environment actually demands, with a hurdle rate you can defend to a board.
Sizing your exposure
How much currency and balance-sheet risk are you really carrying? We measure it and stress-test it against the moves that worry you.
What a global shock means for you
A tariff, an oil spike, a rate decision — we trace it from the headline into your sector and your numbers.
Streetwise Economics is led by two complementary economists who together cover both halves of any serious decision — the economy around you, and the finances in front of you.
Isaac Jonas — Applied economist. Master of Food and Resource Economics, UBC; MA in Resource, Environment and Sustainability, UBC; BSc Economics, University of Zimbabwe; Mastercard Foundation Scholar. Builds the macroeconomic and econometric analysis: forecasting, valuation, cost of capital, and exchange-rate dynamics.
Ronald Maeresera, CPA, CMA, MPA — Financial modelling and analysis: feasibility, budgeting, and the operational numbers a CFO or board needs to act.
We model the economy. We model your finances. We connect the two.
