REPO RATE UNCHANGED<br />

The Monetary Policy Committee of the SA Reserve Bank (MPC)<br />

met and discussed possible changes to the Repo Rate during<br />

<strong>September</strong>. They factored in recent inflation figures, the Rand<br />

to Dollar exchange and of course factors around the Covid-19<br />

pandemic.<br />

It was ultimately decided there would be little benefit to adjusting<br />

the rate from its current low of 3.5% per annum. Experts expect<br />

the rate to remain low until late 2021.
