MPC Tuesday

 
The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Central Bank met yesterday and decided to retain the Central Bank Rate (CBR) at 8.75%. The Committee noted that the impact of the previous rate increase in November 2022 was still transmitting in the economy. In addition to this, recently announced Government measures to allow limited duty-free imports of specific food items to moderate prices and therefore ease inflationary pressures would complement the additional tightening brought about by the previous rate increase. Attached is the Press Statement from the MPC for your perusal but for even more colour, here is a link to the CBK Governor’s press conference to begin at 11.00 a.m.; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Os0kyvE_cJ4
Away from the MPC and for the trading in store ahead, below is a snapshot of what is at play within the secondary market for your consideration. Happy hunting!
