South Africa’s inflation forecast for 2025 has recently declined below the target set by the South African Reserve Bank (SARB). The Bureau for Economic Research has revised its estimate to 4.3%, down from the previous forecast of 4.5%. This adjustment reflects a more stable economic outlook amidst ongoing global trade uncertainties and potential Value Added Tax (VAT) increases.
The reduction in South Africa’s inflation forecast indicates a potential for stability in the economic landscape, although challenges remain.
