Africa-Press<\/a> – Mozambique<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Central bankers in six sub-Saharan African countries are likely to leave borrowing costs unchanged over coming weeks as a resurgence of coronavirus infections driven by the highly transmissible delta variant threatens to choke off lackluster economic recoveries.<\/p>\n

Since monetary policy committees in some of the region\u2019s key nations last met, temporary restrictions on movement were imposed in western Kenya in a bid to avoid a catastrophic fourth wave of infections. In South Africa, the reintroduction of strict lockdown measures and deadly riots have emerged as key risks to economic growth.<\/p>\n

Higher oil prices may bolster economic growth in Nigeria, the continent\u2019s top crude producer. But the increased cost of imported refined fuel will also stoke consumer-price growth, adding to pressures of rising food costs.<\/p>\n

Although policy makers are expected to look through rising prices and only raise interest rates after the virus eases, they\u2019ll be cautious of falling too far behind frontier markets such as Ukraine that have already started tightening, said Ayomide Mejabi, chief economist for sub-Saharan Africa at JPMorgan Chase Bank NA. Relatively lower rates may make country\u2019s financial assets less attractive to offshore investors.<\/p>\n

Still, multilateral support from the Group of 20 nations that have extended debt-relief measures for some of the world\u2019s poorest countries to year-end, and the allocation of new reserves by the International Monetary Fund should ease fiscal pressures and provide countries with some breathing space to keep rates on hold, Mejabi said.<\/p>\n

What Bloomberg Economics Says\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect Africa\u2019s major central banks \u2014 South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana \u2014 to stay on hold in the coming weeks on growth concerns as the continent continues to grapple with third wave of infections amid a slow vaccine rollout.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2013Boingotlo Gasealahwe, Africa economist<\/b><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what regional central bankers may do:<\/b><\/p>\n

Mozambique, July 21<\/b><\/p>\n

MIMO interbank rate: 13.25%<\/p>\n

Inflation rate: 5.52% (June)<\/p>\n

Mozambique\u2019s central bank will probably leave its benchmark interest rate unchanged for a third straight meeting even as annual inflation edged up in June.<\/p>\n

Consumer-price growth will probably remain within the range of 4% to 6% this year because of subdued demand for goods and services, said Neville Mandimika and Daniel Kavishe, analysts at FirstRand Group Ltd.\u2019s Rand Merchant Bank. That implies flat interest rates for the rest of 2021, they said in a note.<\/p>\n

South Africa, July 22<\/b><\/p>\n

Repurchase rate: 3.5%<\/p>\n

Inflation rate: 5.2% (May)<\/p>\n

Inflation target: 3% \u2013 6%<\/p>\n

The South African Reserve Bank is expected to leave its key rate at a record low for a sixth straight meeting as the strictest lockdown measures since May 2020 and deadly riots that disrupted activity in two key provinces dim economic recovery prospects.<\/p>\n

The central bank\u2019s quarterly projection model, which the MPC uses as a guide, in May indicated one rate increase of 25 basis points in the second quarter and another in the fourth. It deviated from the model by leaving the benchmark unchanged at its last meeting and may now soften its stance about tightening.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe scale of uncertainty in South Africa right now because of the lockdown and unrest makes us even more sure that this is not going to be a very hawkish meeting,\u201d said Gina Schoeman, an economist at Citibank South Africa. It\u2019s likely the MPC won\u2019t give as clear an indication as to when it\u2019ll start to normalize interest rates as it awaits data to assess the impact of the disruptions, she said.<\/p>\n

Ghana, July 26<\/b><\/p>\n

Policy rate: 13.5%<\/p>\n

Inflation rate: 7.8% (June)<\/p>\n

Inflation target: 8% +\/- 2<\/p>\n

Ghana\u2019s central bank is expected to pause after unexpectedly cutting its key rate to a nine-year low to support the recovery of an economy that expanded at the slowest pace in 37 years in 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no reason to move the policy rate in either direction,\u201d said Courage Martey, an economist at the Accra-based Databank Group. \u201cA rate hike will create the impression that there was a policy mistake. A further rate cut will also not allow enough time for the earlier decision to take effect and influence credit and growth.\u201dThe impact of oil prices that have risen since the rate cut and cost pressures including a 13% increase in transport fares from last month are yet to fully reflect in inflation data.<\/p>\n

Nigeria, July 27<\/b><\/p>\n

Policy rate: 11.5%<\/p>\n

Inflation rate: 17.75% (June)<\/p>\n

Inflation target: 6% \u2013 9%<\/p>\n

Nigeria\u2019s MPC is expected to hold its key rate for a fifth meeting as it seeks to support the recovery of Africa\u2019s biggest economy.<\/p>\n

While price data suggests inflation that is almost double the ceiling of the central bank\u2019s official target may have already peaked, policy makers have made it clear that they\u2019ll only switch to taming consumer prices after seeing solid growth momentum.<\/p>\n

\u201cUpside risks to inflation in the near term are limited, and this makes standing pat on policy parameters an easy decision to make at the July meeting,\u201d said Mosope Arubayi, an economist at IC Asset Managers. \u201cTheir stance could change, however, in the last or penultimate meeting of the year if trends in the global economy continue to foster economic wins for Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kenya, July 28<\/b><\/p>\n

Central bank rate: 7%<\/p>\n

Inflation rate: 6.3% (June)<\/p>\n

Inflation target: 5% +\/- 2.5<\/p>\n

Kenya\u2019s MPC is likely to keep its key rate unchanged for a ninth straight meeting even as higher fuel prices threaten to stoke inflation.<\/p>\n

Muted demand due to pandemic restrictions, including a dusk-to-dawn curfew, mean monetary policy tools won\u2019t help in containing cost-push inflation that\u2019s being driven by higher oil prices, Ken Gichinga, chief economist at Nairobi\u2019s Mentoria Economics said. \u201cThe virus containment measures mean the economy is operating on one engine,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A better bet would be to stabilize the local currency and for the government to speed up the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines, he said.<\/p>\n

Mauritius, Aug. 4<\/b><\/p>\n

Repurchase rate: 1.85%<\/p>\n

Inflation rate: 5.9% (June)<\/p>\n

After postponing its MPC meeting that was scheduled for May, Mauritian policy makers must now weigh leaving the key rate at a record low to support an economy that contracted the most in four decades in 2020 against taming inflation that\u2019s at a three-year high.<\/p>\n

While the MPC will probably hold the benchmark next month, indicators show that the island nation has \u201creached the end of an accommodative cycle,\u201d said Bhavish Jugurnath, an economist and lecturer at the University of Mauritius. \u201cWe could see a tightening of monetary policy as inflation is accelerating due to higher import prices and a weakening rupee.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
