In South Africa, the interest rates decisions are taken by the South African Reserve Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC). The official interest rate is the repo rate. This is the rate at which central banks lend or discount eligible paper for deposit money banks, typically shown on an end-of-period basis.

Latest Updates

The South African Reserve Bank voted unanimously to trim its benchmark repo rate to 6.25 percent during its first policy meeting of 2020, while markets had expected it to be kept steady. It was the first rate cut since July, bringing borrowing costs to the lowest level since November 2015. The decision came amid lower inflation forecasts and the country's persistent economic vulnerability.
