It's hard to predict when repo rate hikes will end

Over the past two years, Central Banks around the globe have been hiking interest rates in a bid to tame rising<br /> inflation. South Africa has seen its ninth consecutive rate hike since November 2021. This amid muted growth which will be further exacerbated by the severe power cuts. In turn, the ailing economy will have a hard time digesting more interest rate pain. Sarb Governor Lesetja Kganyago says that it's hard to predict when repo rate hikes will end but has in the meantime called for a lower inflation target and for deregulation in the power and transport sectors to help aid the economy. The Governor joined Business Day TV to discuss the issue in detail.
