What influences this month's repo rate decision?
from Die ekonomie minuut · host Waldo Krugell
We are all hoping that inflation starts to decline and the need for further sharp repo rate hikes diminishes, but what do those prospects look like? In yesterday's episode, I briefly explained that producers or sellers of products and services are still experiencing a lot of cost pressure and that part of it will be passed on to consumers. But this is only one side of the coin of a repo rate increase. The flip side is that we may have to raise rates because everyone else is doing it. * The Economics Minute is supported by the NWU Business School.
