The repo, the output gap and other interesting things
from Die ekonomie minuut · host Waldo Krugell
While we wait for this morning's inflation figure and hold our hearts over the oil price just below $100 per barrel I would like to quickly talk about all the other considerations surrounding tomorrow's repo rate decision. The basic story is that the repo rate is used to fight inflation, but economists also have other things on their minds. This episode is supported by Economic Research Southern Africa and the NWU Business School. Errors and omissions are my own.
