لماذا يهم
The words and the forecasts tell markets where the repo rate is likely to go next. A central bank that raises its inflation forecasts or signals more hikes (the Fed's "dot plot" of rate projections, for example) can move the South African rand and bond yields more than the decision itself.
طريقة الحساب
There is no single figure; the report contains the committee's projections (often the median of its members' views) and its assessment of the economy.
ما تعنيه التغيرات
- Compare the new projections with the previous ones: the revision is the news.
- Changes of a few words in the statement are often deliberate signals.
أعلى من المتوقع: Higher inflation or rate projections than expected tend to lift the South African rand and bond yields.
أقل من المتوقع: Lower projections than expected tend to weaken the South African rand and lower bond yields.
لمحة تاريخية قصيرة
Central banks began to publish forecasts and statements as part of inflation targeting from the 1990s (the Bank of England's Inflation Report from 1993); the Fed's dot plot started in 2012.
