SOUTH AFRICA: SARB Press Conference Starting at 13:00GMT/15:00SAST
SOUTH AFRICA
- SARB Governor Kganyago will announce the central bank's rate decision during a press conference starting at 13:00GMT/15:00SAST. All economists surveyed by Bloomberg are calling for a 25bp cut which would take the main policy rate to 7.75%.
- Inflation data released yesterday showed that headline CPI cooled to +2.8% Y/Y, missing the +3.0% consensus forecast and the lower end of the target band. This didn't affect expectations for today's SARB meeting, but led to dovish repricing further out the curve.
