  • Decision was split
ZAR south africa
USD/ZAR weekly
  • CPI seen at 3.6% this year vs 3.9% prior
  • GDP growth seen at 1.7% vs 1.8% prior
  • Proposed VAT increases would add about 0.2 pp to headline inflation
  • For now, inflation appears contained
  • We assess that risks to the growth are to the downside
