South African Reserve Bank Monetary Policy Review

Latest Release

Apr 15, 2025

The Monetary Policy Review is published twice a year and is aimed at broadening public understanding of the objectives and conduct of monetary policy. The Monetary Policy Review covers domestic and international developments that impact on the monetary policy stance. It takes a forward-looking approach, in contrast to the Quarterly Bulletin which records and explains recent economic developments. The Monetary Policy Review is presented by senior officials of the SARB at monetary policy forums in various centres across South Africa in an effort to develop a better understanding of monetary policy through direct interactions with stakeholders.
