SARB missed key opportunities to cut interest rates, says property group

The South African Reserve Bank's potential interest rate cut next week could aligns with global monetary policy trends. Image: SARB/Facebook The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) has definitely missed at least two vital opportunities to cut the interest rate, says Samuel Seeff, the chairman of the Seeff Property Group. He told "Independent Media Property" that the lacklustre economy and the property market need an injection of energy, and no doubt it needs a rate cut, while the Bank has been too overly cautious. 'This is not a time for a 'wait and see' approach; it's time for bold action, and a cut of at least 25bps. "The SARB stance has been particularly disappointing given that the data has been very favourable for lower rates throughout this year, with inflation below or near the bottom of the target range, and the ZAR relatively stable, notably trading below R18, even after Trump's latest tariff comments,' Seeff said. While global markets are dealing with the economic uncertainty triggered by US tariff hikes, South Africa's residential property sector continues to show encouraging signs of resilience. BetterBond's data for July shows that bond applications have risen by 7.4% for the 12 months to May 2025, with home loans granted up by an impressive 13.6%, says Bradd Bendall, BetterBond's National Head of Sales. He said this points to renewed buyer confidence and a more stable market environment. 'Driving this upward trend is the recent easing of interest rates. With inflation recently comfortably within the 3 to 6 percent target range, we expect the South African Reserve Bank to announce another 25 basis point rate cut when the Monetary Policy Committee meets next week,' Bendall said. He said this would drop the prime lending rate to 10.5%- a level last seen in November 2022. 'Although not quite at pre-pandemic levels, this cut would bring welcome relief to homeowners and consumers. On a R2 million bond, for example, the lower prime lending rate would mean a saving of just over R300 a month.' Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad loading BetterBond said this potential cut aligns with global monetary policy trends. This was because both the Bank of England and the Reserve Bank of India are expected to reduce rates in August, suggesting a broader shift toward interest rate easing to stimulate economic activity. The US Federal Reserve is also expected to lower rates when it meets on 30 July, and the South African Reserve Bank is likely to follow suit the following day at its rate announcement, the bond originator said. Seeff said its take is that the Reserve Bank needs to be bold and act in the interest of the South African economy. 'The MPC needs to focus on what the SA economy needs, a bold rate cut which can serve as a rocket to push the economy and try and grow the GDP, a critical necessity given the unemployment rate and what is best for everyone in South Africa.' The next SARB's Monetary Policy Committee will announce the July interest rates decision next week. Independent Media Property

'The municipal valuations and subsequent steep rates and taxes (up to R30 000 per month on a residential property) are obvious factors that would hinder the sale by auction,' Lazarus said. He said auctions represent only one element of a larger sales strategy, which was essential to ensure transparency in a case that has significant public interest.

Their departure came just before then-president Jacob Zuma was forced to step down by the ANC over his association with the family. These homes gained notoriety as locations where the Guptas allegedly hosted high-level politicians as part of efforts to exert undue influence on state affairs and secure government tenders. The trio is wanted by authorities in connection with several criminal investigations. Among the most prominent are the Nulane Investment fraud matter and the controversial Vrede Dairy Farm case. While a 2022 attempt to extradite Atul and Rajesh Gupta failed, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has reaffirmed its determination to bring the brothers back to South Africa to stand trial.
