Several emerging markets and developing economies have adopted inflation targeting since the s, including South Africa (SA) in 1 Forecasting in emerging markets is particularly challenging compared to the US and the Eurozone, for example, given the volatility in food prices 2 and the exchange rate, as well as structural by: predictive content for output growth at some times in some countries. Whether this predictive content can be exploited reliably is less clear, for this requires knowing a-priori what asset price works when in which countries. The evidence that asset prices are useful for forecasting output .
Forecasting models for output are presented to throw light on monetary transmission. Recent research finds multistep forecasting superior to recursive forecasting from a VAR model when structural breaks are present; there are important political and policy regime breaks in South Africa. The equilibrium correction models have a four-quarter ahead forecast horizon, appropriate for measuring Cited by: In the third quarter, analysts, business people and trade unionists on average expect inflation to pick up from % (% previously) in to % (%) in and % (%) in Inflation Expectations PDF, Q2. Last updated: Jul 18 AM. In the second quarter, average inflation expectations remained unchanged at % in.

The annual inflation rate in South Africa fell to percent in March of from percent in February and below market expectations of percent. It was the lowest inflation rate since last December, as prices slowed mostly for transport ( percent vs percent in February), namely fuels ( percent vs percent), on the back of falling oil prices amid the Covid pandemic.

Abstract: South Africa’s recent adoption of inflation targeting increases the need for good forecasting models of inflation and models for understanding the monetary transmission mechanism.
This paper presents multi-step models for inflation and output, four-quarters ahead. We compare the recursive out-of-sample forecasts for South African GDP and inflation from six types of models: a general 33 country (large) GVAR, a customized small GVAR for South Africa, a VECM.

This column presents recent findings on inflation forecasting in such economies, showing that a variant of the simple random walk model specification seems difficult to beat.

Downloadable. The conduct of inflation targeting is heavily dependent on accurate inflation forecasts. Non-linear models have increasingly featured, along with linear counterparts, in the forecasting literature. In this study, we focus on forecasting South African infl ation by means of non-linear models and using a long historical dataset of seasonally-adjusted monthly inflation rates.

Woglom (), in his discussion of how the introduction of inflation targeting in affected monetary policy in South Africa, points out that the response of the SARB to changes in the real value of its currency are far from clear, and are therefore a source of confusion.
1 It is also worth noting that South African financial institutions Cited by: Now that South Africa's inflation rate has breached the 3% to 6% target of SARB, they need to act (and they have been acting over the last couple of months by increasing interest rates).

This interest in asset prices as leading indicators arose, at least in part, from the instability in the s and early s of forecasts of output and inflation based on monetary aggregates and of forecasts of inflation based on the (non-expectational) Phillips curve.
