A spurt of price pressures in the private sector, slower-than-expected disinflation and the battered cedi have clouded the outlook. The uncertainty has left economists split in predicting the central bank's move. JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Absa Group Ltd. are among the slight majority expecting the monetary policy committee to leave the benchmark interest rate at 29%, when Governor Ernest Addison gives the panel's decision in the capital, Accra. BancTrust & Co. Investment Bank and REDD Intelligence are among those predicting a cut, according to a Bloomberg survey. “With the currency under pressure, we believe that the MPC could delay its policy rate cut to September although it is likely to be a close call,” said Absa economists led by Ridle Markus in a research note. Heightened inflationary pressures from a hike in electricity and water tariffs in July and the steep depreciation in the cedi against the dollar this year may also make it reluctant to lower rates, they said.
