Reserve Bank News

United States United States Latest News,United States United States Headlines

The Reserve Bank has, as expected, decided to keep interest rates on hold, leaving the key lending rate at 11.75%.

Governor Lesetja Kganyago made the announcement in Pretoria following a meeting of the monetary policy committee. Kganyago says the repo rate will remain at 8.25%.

Kganyago notes that at the current repurchase repo rate level, the policy is restrictive, consistent with the inflation outlook, and the need to address rising inflation expectations. He argues that there are still risks that inflation can increase again although headline inflation at a global level continues to be moderate. Food price inflation remains high.

The repo rate is left unchanged at a 14-year high of 8.25% by the Reserve Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee.
