Date has been set for the 10th July. Inflation looks to continue its downward trend with oil prices hitting USD91 and expectation of the Murban following these international prices (we expect the Murban to be USD103-107 at close of June), improved weather conditions thus declining food component pressure on CPI. Non-food, non-fuel increased in May 2012 to a touch above 10% - determining factor.
On the FX front, CBK has enough ammunition with increase of FX reserves. Regulator has stayed out of the market in 3 out of 5 days last week, expect increased activity from the regulator this week with anticipated increase in importer's demand.
Are we going to finally see a cut like we saw in Uganda this past meeting? What are your thoughts on it?
