Reserve Bank Governor Gill Marcus says South Africa’s inflation figure is more likely to exceed their undercut official targets.

In its twice-yearly Monetary Policy Review released in Pretoria, the central bank points out that cost-push pressures and the sharp reduction of the Rand are posing the primary risks.

Marcus also warns of potential corruption from the euro zone debt crisis.
