THE SARB BREAKDOWN: Rates Up by 25 Basis Points
The South African Reserve Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee has increased the repo rate by 25 basis points to 7%, effective from today, 29 May 2026.

Governor Lesetja Kganyago announced a tight 4-2 split vote among the committee. The move comes as a direct response to intensifying inflation risks and overlapping economic shocks, designed to steer inflation back down toward the bank's 3% target.

The Three Main Risk Scenarios Addressed:
⚪Geopolitical Tension: A prolonged Middle East conflict pushing up oil and food prices while weakening the rand.
⚪Climate Pressures: The looming emergence of an El Niño weather pattern, historically bringing severe drought to South Africa.
⚪Non-Linear Impact: Outsized inflation shocks as agricultural businesses pass escalating diesel and fertiliser costs on to consumers.

What This Means for You:
Headline inflation is forecasted to average 4.4% this year and 3.7% next year, before finally landing back at the 3% target in 2028. Core inflation is also expected to peak early next year. Driven heavily by an 11.4% jump in fuel inflation and rising services costs (like insurance and transport), price pressures are mounting across the board.
For business owners, debt servicing costs tick upward today. If you haven't stress-tested your cash flow or reviewed your Q2 operational budget against a 7% repo rate, now is the time.

Let us help you recalibrate your financial strategy.

Hope is not a financial strategy!

Ahead of tomorrow's SARB announcement, make sure your business is prepared for any outcome.

This week is the big one.

📊 The Reserve Bank will announce its decision on the repo rate on 28 May. For people managing personal debt, paying off a property, or financing business or personal vehicles, this decision affects your bottom line directly. We are monitoring the inflation data closely. Check back later this week for our breakdown of the announcement and what it means for your wallet.

We are officially two weeks away from the EMP501 deadline. If you are still trying to figure out why your EMP201 submissions aren't matching your IRP5s, it’s time to call for backup. SARS expects the numbers to balance down to the last cent.

Don't spend your time stressed out over spreadsheets. Hand your data over to our payroll experts today, and we will get you over the finish line.

14/05/2026

Let’s talk about the cost of ignoring your EMP501.

If you miss the deadline at the end of May or submit incorrect data, SARS doesn't just send a warning letter. They apply an administrative penalty equal to 1% of your entire year's PAYE liability. That can be a devastating blow to your cash flow. Do not risk it. Our compliance team is standing by to take over your reconciliation and submit it flawlessly. Send us a DM today.
