South African central bank Governor Lesetja Kganyago welcomed the reappointment of Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana in the new coalition cabinet unveiled by the president this week.
The African National Congress, which had governed South Africa for three decades since the end of apartheid in 1994, lost its parliamentary majority for the first time in the May 29 vote. The South African Reserve Bank has kept interest rates at 8.25% at each of its three monetary policy committee meetings so far this year amid uncertainty before the elections, which opinion polls showed being tightly contested.
It's been above 4.5% for more than three years and the central bank expects inflation to average 5.1% this year.
