South African Reserve Bank releases April 2020 Monetary Policy Review, 6 Apr

The Monetary Policy Review (MPR) will be released today Monday, 6 April 2020 at 14h00. The presentation on the MPR, which is normally delivered at the national Monetary Policy Forum meeting, will be hosted virtually and therefore no physical media lock-up will take place prior to the presentation. However, media that have confirmed that they will connect to the briefing will be sent the MPR and the presentation beforehand, while still under embargo. Journalists are invited to send through questions on the MPR, by no later than 13h00, to the panel via email at media@resbank.co.za.  
 
The presentation will be streamed live on the South African Reserve Bank’s (SARB) Facebook and YouTube accounts and submitted questions will be responded to after the presentation. The MPR and the presentation will be available on the SARB website from 14h00 when the MPR embargo lifts. 
 
Running order for the release:

  • The MPR will be sent under strict embargo with a password, to the media that have confirmed to watch the virtual release, at 11h30
  • The presentation will follow at 13h45 to the same media, also under embargo until 14h00
  • Media are encouraged to submit questions on the document no later than 13h00. 
  • Submitted media questions will be responded to online, after the presentation.
  • Both the MPR and the presentation will be published on the SARB website when embargo lifts at 14h00
