Pourquoi c’est important
The monthly change is the freshest reading of price pressure: the yearly rate is the sum of the last twelve monthly changes, so today's monthly figure tells you where the yearly rate is heading.
Mode de calcul
Statistics South Africa prices a fixed basket of goods and services across the country and compares the index with the previous period. Seasonal patterns (sales, holidays) make raw monthly figures jumpy; some countries also publish seasonally adjusted numbers.
Monthly inflation = index(this month) ÷ index(last month) − 1
Annualised ≈ (1 + monthly)¹² − 1Ce que signifient les variations
- Compare with the same month in earlier years: January and September often have seasonal jumps.
- 0.2% a month is about the 2% a year most central banks aim for.
Supérieur aux attentes : A higher figure than expected makes the South African Reserve Bank more likely to keep rates high or raise them: it tends to support the South African rand and push bond yields up, and is often a weight on stocks.
Inférieur aux attentes : A lower figure than expected gives the South African Reserve Bank room to cut or hold rates lower: the South African rand tends to soften and bond yields to fall.
Un bref historique
Monthly price indexes date from the early 20th century; many countries began publishing them during or after the First World War to adjust wages to the cost of living.
