South Africa's Reserve Bank left its repo rate unchanged at 6.5 percent today as the economy is recovering from last year's recession.
Reserve Bank Governor Gill Marcus made the announcement following a monetary policy committee meeting.
Analysts say the central bank, while considering the outlook for economic growth, is also focused on its core role of keeping inflation under check, with electricity tariff increases by power utility Eskom seen applying pressure.
The repo rate will remain at 6.5 percent and the prime interest rate also stays flat at 10 percent.
