2019 MPC: Meeting Dates Schedule

Monetary Policy Committee

In monetary policy decision-making processes, committees are preferred above individuals. Not one central bank has replaced a committee with a single decision-maker, a fact that has both theoretical and empirical support; the ability to draw diverse viewpoints from constituent members in committees ensures that there is likely to be some moderation of extreme positions and policies, and more even policymaking.

South Africa is part of this trend and the decision on the appropriate monetary policy stance is taken by the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC). This committee was constituted shortly before South Africa adopted the inflation-targeting framework. The MPC meetings are chaired by the Governor of the Bank. It consists of seven members of the Bank: the Governor, three deputy governors and three senior officials of the Bank.

The Monetary Policy Committee meeting dates for 2019 are:

15 - 17 January 2019
26 - 28 March 2019
21 - 23 May 2019
16 - 18 July 2019
17 - 19 September 2019
19 - 21 November 2019
