Reserve Bank: Inflations Going To Get Worse - Prepare For More Rate Hikes

SARB: Inflation outlook deteriorates
The South African Reserve Bank said on Tuesday inflation was expected to rise, but that it remained committed to bringing the gauge within target range "over a reasonable time horizon".

The targeted CPIX consumer inflation gauge has persisted above the top end of a 3% to 6% range since April 2007, and accelerated to a new five-year high of 10,1% year-on-year in March.

"The inflation outlook has deteriorated since the publication of the previous monetary policy review in November 2007," the central bank said in a twice-yearly monetary policy review.
