Verbeel jou die Suid-Afrikaanse ekonomie is ʼn redelike ou bakkie en die Reserwebank se Monetêre Beleidskomitee is af en toe agter die stuur. Hulle wil graag hê die bakkie moet ry, dit is ekonomiese groei, maar hulle is bekommerd die enjin word te warm, dit is inflasie. Die repokoers is hulle voet op die rem. Hulle het dit gister onveranderd gelos op 8,25%, maar wat sê hulle van die vooruitsigte vir ʼn verlaging later vanjaar?

Imagine the South African economy is a fairly old bakkie and the Reserve Bank's Monetary Policy Committee is occasionally behind the wheel. They want the bakkie to keep running, that's economic growth, but they're worried the engine is overheating, that's inflation. The repo rate is their foot on the brake. They left it unchanged at 8.25% yesterday, but what do they say about the prospects for a reduction later this year?

Gister in die ry om te stem vra iemand my of die rand al begin val het. Dit is so dat sentiment, veral rondom ʼn verkiesing, ʼn rol kan speel, maar toe dink ek dit is dalk interessant om te praat oor die faktore wat die wisselkoers bepaal. Dit is nou nie hierdie week se veranderinge nie in die rand-dollar koers nie, maar die onderliggende, fundamentele drywers van die wisselkoers.

Yesterday in line to vote someone asked me if the rand had started to fall yet. It is the case that sentiment, especially around an election, can play a role, but then I thought it might be interesting to talk about the factors that determine the exchange rate. It is not this week's changes in the rand-dollar rate, but the underlying, fundamental drivers of the exchange rate.
