Ghana's central bank cuts key rate by 300 basis points as inflation eases
ACCRA, July 30 (Reuters) - Ghana's central bank on Wednesday lowered its benchmark policy rate (GHCBIR=ECI), opens new tab by 300 basis points to 25%, exceeding expectations, as consumer inflation showed signs of continued decline in the gold and cocoa-producing economy. The Bank of Ghana had been widely anticipated to reduce the rate by 200 basis points to 26%, according to a Reuters poll of 10 analysts. "The committee noted that macroeconomic conditions have significantly improved. Inflation expectations are broadly anchored... and confidence in the economy is returning," governor Johnson Asiama, told a news conference. Asiama added that inflation risks are expected to be mitigated through appropriately managed monetary policy frameworks and ongoing fiscal consolidation efforts. "Given these considerations, the MPC, by a majority decision, voted to lower the monetary policy rate by 300 basis points to 25%," he said. Last month, consumer inflation dropped to 13.7% from 18.4% in May, reaching the lowest level since December 2021.

Take a deep dive into the inflation numbers and the RBA's decision not to cut rates seems inexplicable
The latest inflation figures confirm that the Reserve Bank wrongly kept interest rates steady at its meeting earlier this month as the official measure of inflation fell to 2.1%, while the monthly indicator dropped outside the RBA target band at 1.9%. The one thing you won't hear from the Reserve Bank after the release of the June quarter inflation figures is an apology. Because, to give credit to the RBA, in its May statement on monetary policy, it predicted inflation of 2.1%. That it did predict this inflation and yet still kept interest rates steady tells you something about how punishingly timid it has been. In June, not only was the official CPI at 2.1%, meaning it has now been below 3% for a year, but the core measure of inflation (the trimmed mean) fell from 2.9% to 2.7%: If the graph does not display click here Even more astonishing is that in a majority of capital cities, inflation is now below 2% – yep, below the Reserve Bank's target range: If the graph does not display click here And if you want even more confirmation of just how low inflation is at the moment, the monthly measure of inflation – which in November will take over as the official measure once a few more items are added – rose just 1.9%: If the graph does not display click here All of this is very good news for those who were struggling with rising prices in 2022 and 2023. Sign up: AU Breaking News email It is less good news for the opposition. The shadow treasurer, Ted O'Brien took to the parliament on Monday and told the treasurer that 'inflation remains too high'. If that is the case then we need to change the English language as well as economics to redefine 'high'. Even when you compare our core inflation with those in other major economies, Australia is doing well. If the graph does not display click here Core inflation is the measure that the RBA mainly focuses on because it gives a less erratic view of what is happening. What it does is top and tail (or 'trim') the 15% biggest price rises and falls. This time around, that means, for example, the trimmed inflation measure does not include fuel or lamb prices which fell the most, and at the other end of the scale it mostly ignores the jump in secondary education cost and also electricity prices which jumped 8.1% this quarter. The reason electricity jumped was the end of state-based subsidies – especially in Western Australia and Queensland. If the graph does not display click here The Bureau of Statistics notes that without these subsidies electricity prices across Australia would have risen just 0.4% in the June quarter. But even still, electricity costs on average 14% less than it would without the subsidies. So you can bet the government will be very happy it extended its scheme: If the graph does not display click here That the RBA did not cut rates earlier this month is even more inexplicable when you dig deeper into the figures. The RBA always looks at the price increase of services rather than goods, because services are more closely linked with wages (because you need workers to do the services). In the year to June service prices rose just 3.3% – that is back at the level they rose in 2011 to 2014 – a period when the RBA cut interest rates eight times: If the graph does not display click here And the level of inflation is also very broad. The prices of about two-thirds of all items counted in the CPI basket rose less than 3% – that's a very solid level: If the graph does not display click here This of course does not mean all things are hunky dory and life is a sweet basket of chocolates and strawberries. Pleasingly the prices of non-discretionary items – those things we have to buy, such as food, petrol or insurance – are now rising the slowest, but there is still a lot of catching up to do after the past four years. Since June 2022, which was about the same time the RBA began lifting rates, wages have risen 14% – well behind the 22% increase in the price of those necessities. That makes for a lot of people still feeling worse off than they were then: If the graph does not display click here But overall, the story is very good. Inflation should no longer be such a concern that the RBA holds off on cutting rates until it gets more information. But unemployment is now rising above 4%; when you combine that with inflation falling close to 2% that equals an interest cut. And even though they won't, when they do cut in August, the RBA also should apologise for making everyone wait six weeks longer than they needed to.

Bank of Canada holds rates steady and says global trade war risk has eased
OTTAWA, July 30 (Reuters) - The Bank of Canada held its key policy rate at 2.75% for the third time in a row on Wednesday, as expected, and said the risk of a severe and escalating global trade war had diminished. But for the second consecutive quarter, the central bank declined to give detailed forecasts for the Canadian economy, citing the uncertainty around U.S. trade policy. The bank also said that if the economy weakened further it could cut rates, provided upward pressures on inflation were kept in check. Although Canada faces tariffs on three sectors, the overall effects have been contained. The economy has weakened only slightly, job growth is robust and closely-tracked metrics of core inflation are firm. "Canada's economy is showing some resilience so far... inflation is close to our 2% target, but we see evidence of underlying inflation pressures," said Governor Tiff Macklem. The situation could change on August 1, the deadline for the United States and Canada to reach a trade deal and the date when U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to impose 35% tariffs on some Canadian goods. The BoC aggressively eased rates by 225 basis points starting in June last year, but since March has paused as it waits to assess the impact of tariffs on the economy and prices. "Since April, the risk of a severe and escalating global trade conflict has diminished," the bank said in its quarterly monetary policy report. "Nevertheless, how U.S. trade policy will unfold remains highly uncertain." Rather than issuing forecasts, the bank presented three different scenarios. The first scenario assumes existing tariffs on steel, aluminum, automobiles and on goods not compliant with a continental free trade pact will be maintained, GDP contracts by 1.5% in the second quarter of 2025 and rises by 1% in the second half before reaching 1.8% in 2027, while total inflation stays close to 2% over the next two years. The other scenarios look at the impact should tariffs around the world decrease or increase. In the de-escalation scenario, lower tariffs improve the growth outlook and reduce the direct cost pressures on inflation while in the opposite scenario, higher tariffs weaken the economy and increase direct cost pressures, Macklem said. "We will be following tariff developments closely and assessing indicators of underlying inflation," he said, adding that the central bank would continue to support economic growth while ensuring inflation was controlled. "If a weakening economy puts further downward pressure on inflation and the upward price pressures from the trade disruptions are contained, there may be a need for a reduction in the policy interest rate," he said. Money markets assume a more than 81% chance of another hold in interest rates in September and do not expect any more cuts this year. The Canadian dollar weakened after the monetary policy report and traded down 0.30% to 1.3811 to the U.S. dollar, or 72.41 U.S. cents.
