John Loos Senior Economist at Commercial Property Finance · First National Bank
John Loos Senior Economist at Commercial Property Finance · First National Bank John started his economist career in the National Treasury, in the team that implemented the country's 1st Medium Term Expenditure Framework in the early days of Finance Minister Trevor Manuel's tenure. His time at IHS Globalinsight (now IHS-Markit), a major US-based consultancy, was his introduction to macroeconomic analysis. This was invaluable in developing his understanding of how the “bigger economic picture” impacts “down” on the sectors that he would later analyse. At Absa Group (2000-2005), as macroeconomist co-ordinating the Group’s economic forecasting process, he was named Reuters Economist of the Year in 2004. A passion for property cycle analysis, developed during the pre-2008 housing bubble, took him to First National Bank (FNB) in 2006 as a Property Economist. In his time at FNB Home Loans, they developed what was arguably the market leading South African residential market analysis at the time. He moved to FNB Commercial Property Finance late in 2018. He love the “behavioral” side of economics, with human irrationality and cognitive bias being a huge influence on both corporate and household decision making. Another interest is in the drivers of human well-being, a complicated matter often ignored by economic policy makers and households alike, to our detriment. Public speaking and Media/Public relations are enjoyable “hobbies” for him in his main focus areas of economics, and occasionally in subjects such as “bias in decision making and goal setting”, “well-being economics” and motivational speaking. After growing up on a diet of “ball sports”, including tennis, hockey, squash and golf, he more recently become a “social endurance sport junkie”. This includes the Comrades Ultra-Marathon, the Ironman Ultra-Triathlon, Kilimanjaro, the 2,300km Freedom Challenge Mountain Bike Race Across South Africa and the 2,800km Beit Bridge- Cape Town TransAfrika race. His sporting allegiances lie with Manchester United, and that great SA rugby team, the Blue Bulls.
