STORYLINE:
The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) released its 2024 Monetary Policy Review on Wednesday, indicating that headline inflation is only expected to return to the mid-point of the target band in the last quarter of 2025.
South Africa's inflation target range is 3 to 6 percent. The report said that amid slower-than-expected disinflation in food and volatility in fuel prices, headline inflation had fluctuated in the range of 5-6 percent over the past six months.
In terms of growth, the SARB anticipates that real GDP will increase to 1.2 percent this year.
