JOHANNESBURG – The South African Reserve Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee is anticipated to keep the repo rate unchanged as it weighs factors such as inflation, currency stability, and evolving global economic views. The committee, tasked with adjusting interest rates to manage the economy, is scrutinizing financial data before making an official announcement on any potential changes to the rate.

The forthcoming general elections in South Africa and the possible changes in fiscal policy, including coalition formations, are expected to play a significant role in the timing and details of interest rate decisions. These political developments could have a considerable impact on economic stability and policy-making in the country.
