SARB and Fed weigh different factors in making interest rate decisions
Update: 2025-09-22
Description
In this podcast, STANLIB’s Chief Economist, Kevin Lings, discusses the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) decision to keep interest rates on hold, despite a surprising slowing of inflation in August to 3.3% y/y from 3.5%. He considers underlying trends in inflation and the dilemma facing the SARB. He also discusses the rationale for the 25 bps cut in the US and the future trajectory for US rates.
