Expectations that the US Federal Reserve may pause its most aggressive hiking cycle since the 1980s, which could weaken the dollar and boost their currencies, will be another consideration.<\/p>\n<p>Others like South Africa and Nigeria, both of which are facing domestic challenges that may keep inflation elevated, are poised to hike.<\/p>\n<p><b>Zambia, May 17<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Bank of Zambia\u2019s monetary policy committee will likely raise its key interest rate for a second time this year to contain double-digit inflation and support its currency, which has come under renewed pressure from slow progress in debt-restructuring talks, said Trevor Hambayi, an independent Lusaka-based economist.<\/p>\n<p>The southern African nation has been struggling to seal a deal to revamp $12.8 billion in external loans since becoming Africa\u2019s first pandemic-era defaulter in November 2020. Still, the corn harvest currently underway could help temper prices, reducing some pressure on the central bank to raise rates.<\/p>\n<p><b>Egypt, May 18<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A temporary slowdown in inflation may give Egypt\u2019s MPC room to pause, especially after Governor Hassan Abdalla signaled higher interest rates are doing little to cool prices.<\/p>\n<p>The central bank \u201cis likely to remain data-led, and will see declining global commodity prices and a reduction in domestic inflation as supportive of their current monetary stance,\u201d said Farouk Soussa, an economist at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. The monetary authority sees inflationary pressures stoked mainly by supply issues, \u201creducing the rationale for a further hike in the medium term,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Eight of 11 economists polled by Bloomberg expect the MPC to hold and the rest forecast a 100 basis-point hike.<\/p>\n<p><b>Angola, May 19<\/b><\/p>\n<p>After two consecutive interest-rate cuts this year, policymakers at Banco Nacional de Angola are likely to break the trend and keep borrowing costs unchanged, said Wilson Chimoco, an economist at Universidade Catolica de Angola. That will allow them to assess what a recent bout of currency weakness may mean for annual inflation, after the monthly rate rose for a third time in a row, he said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ghana, May 22<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Rate setters in Ghana may hold borrowing costs after hiking by 16 percentage points since November 2021 as inflation is forecast to continue to slow, said Patrick Asuming, a senior lecturer at the University of Ghana Business School. Food prices are likely to ease over the harvest season and the cedi should benefit from expectations that the West African country will secure a $3 billion bailout from the IMF this week, he said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Mauritius, May 22<\/b><\/p>\n<p>With inflation easing for four straight months, after 265 basis points of rate increases last year, the Bank of Mauritius is set to pause at its first MPC meeting of 2023, said Tahir Wahab, an independent chartered banker and accountant. It will want to wait and see if the trend will continue, \u201cgiven that budget 2023-2024 is near and any rate hike would disrupt the prevailing economic conditions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Nigeria, May 23<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Central Bank of Nigeria\u2019s MPC is predicted to extend its longest phase of monetary tightening in more than a decade to temper inflation that is near an 18-year high and likely to remain elevated, Rand Merchant Bank\u2019s Usoro Essien and Oyinkansola Samuel said in a research note.<\/p>\n<p>Pest infestations in vegetable farms in parts of northern Nigeria that are impacting an estimated 70% of output, the expected removal of a costly fuel subsidy and the full implementation of a 40% wage increase for federal government workers are likely to place upward pressure on prices, they said.<\/p>\n<p><b>South Africa, May 25<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Policymakers in South Africa are widely expected to raise the key rate against a backdrop of significant rand weakness and sticky inflation in an economy flirting with recession.<\/p>\n<p>The median of 14 economists\u2019 estimates in a Bloomberg survey \u2014 conducted before the sharp depreciation in the rand caused by a row with the US over allegations that Pretoria supplied weapons to Russia, and angst over South Africa\u2019s energy crisis \u2014 was for a quarter-point hike. Several economists such as Absa Bank Ltd.\u2019s Miyelani Maluleke and BNP Paribas\u2019s Jeffrey Schultz have since revised their forecasts higher to 50 basis points.<\/p>\n<p>The South African Reserve Bank has stated clearly \u201cthat the priority for monetary policy currently is to bring inflation and inflation expectations down sooner rather than later,\u201d Maluleke said in a research note. \u201cAgainst this context, we believe that the SARB MPC will respond to the big FX weakening with more tightening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Eswatini<\/b> and <b>Lesotho<\/b>, whose currencies are pegged to South Africa\u2019s rand, will probably match the Reserve Bank\u2019s move by month-end.<\/p>\n<p><b>Kenya, May 29<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Kenya\u2019s rate-setting committee is poised to leave borrowing costs unchanged to consider the effects of a jumbo-size hike in March after inflation softened more than expected last month.<\/p>\n<p>The stance will help balance the need to keep the costs of borrowing for individuals and government despite a push by investors for higher coupons from government securities, said Tony Mwiti, a director at Nairobi-based consulting firm Clark and Hampton.<\/p>\n<p>The panel \u201cmay also consider the ongoing national tax increment and high cost of living backlash that the government is currently facing and thereby may opt not to rock the boat by increasing interest rates,\u201d Mwiti said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Mozambique, May 31<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Mozambique\u2019s central bank will probably keep its benchmark rate steady for the next few months, Isaac Matshego and Nicky Weimar, economists at Nedbank Group Ltd. in neighbouring South Africa, said in a note. Annual inflation has peaked, and will continue to ease over the rest of 2023, they said.<\/p>\n<p>The easing should start to see the Banco de Moc\u0327ambique cutting rates in the third quarter, the economists said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
