Inflation is up and today's repo rate decision is crucial
from Die ekonomie minuut · host Waldo Krugell
June's consumer price inflation figure was released yesterday and rose from 6.5% in May to 7.4%. The increase was driven by increases in food and transport prices. When the Monetary Policy Committee thinks about these figures for this afternoon's repo rate decision, they know that inflation is now high and sustained, and they can't just do nothing. * The Economics Minute is supported by the NWU Business School.
