ICYMI: Economist Goolam Ballim says South Africans who have not been able to rejoin the workforce due to the negative financial impact of the COVID19 pandemic could experience a further strain on their pockets amid the latest interest rate hike.

Reserve Bank announces interest decision: 27 January 2022“The tragedy is that at least 1.5 million people have not re-joined the labour force after the shock job losses in Quarter 2 of 2020.

The Reserve Bank raising interest rates will also suggest that is going to crimp wallets because servicing costs will rise but the Reserve Bank is also fearful of inflation expectations rising and high inflation becoming sticky or enduring. So by raising interest rates, it wants to anchor inflation expectations so that even though we have this drive in inflation over the last year, it will be temporary,” says Ballim.
