The heightened uncertainty surrounding the inflation dynamics has weighed heavily on the domestic environment and significantly depressed business and consumer sentiments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe inflation numbers show that while food inflation has accounted for the increases in inflation over the past year, the recent jump in April indicate that relative price increases in the non-food sector are accelerating at a fast pace, which provides information on the extent prices are becoming embedded at,\u201d the report stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Bank\u2019s latest forecast shows a continued elevated inflation profile in the near-term, with a prolonged horizon for inflation to return to the target band. Inflation expectations by consumers, businesses and the banking sector have also heightened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe risks to inflation outlook are on the upside, and emanate from availability of inputs for food production, imported inflation, continued upward adjustments in ex-pump petroleum prices and transportation costs, possible increases in utility tariffs, and potential wage pressures. The second-round effects of these administered price adjustments will further amplify inflation pressures in the outlook.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetmelodiesfm.com\/transport-fares-take-toll-on-inflation-as-it-hits-23-6-in-april\/\">Transport fares take toll on inflation as it hits 23.6% in April<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetmelodiesfm.com\/workers-wages-have-been-undermined-by-inflation-tuc\/\">Workers&#8217; wages have been undermined by inflation \u2013 TUC<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThese considerations show that with the strong rebound in growth and closing of the negative output gap, the balance of risk is clearly on inflation. The MPC took the view that it needed to decisively address the current inflationary pressures to re-anchor expectations and help foster macroeconomic stability,\u201d the report added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It was expected<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The hike didn\u2019t come as surprise though, as various economic analysts including the Director of Research at the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) predicted the policy rate going up \u2013 to whip-up investor confidence which has been dampened by rising inflation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will help narrow the gap with inflation and also ease to some extent the risk of foreign currency outflows. The adjustment will also provide some assurance to the markets that the BoG is committed to addressing the resurging inflation. Anything less than this may be interpreted as a weak response, which may be concerning to the markets,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Reports indicate investors are shunning government\u2019s short-term debt instruments \u2013 91-day, 182-day and 364-day Treasury bills \u2013 as liquidity on the primary market is strained on the back of unfavourable interest rates on this class of debt securities.<\/p>\n<p>Per the Treasury auction results for April 1, 2022 published by the Bank of Ghana (BoG), the uptake by the Treasury fell short by 39 percent [GH\u00a2463.65million] against the target of GH\u00a2766million \u2013 and this was inadequate to cover up this week\u2019s maturing T-bills worth about GH\u00a2627.48million between 91- and 182-day bills, translating into a maturity cover of 0.74x.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, results of the previous Treasury auction on March 25, 2022 revealed that the uptake of Treasury for the 91-day, 182-day and 364-day T-bills was far below its target, and insufficient to cover the maturing debts worth about GH\u00a21.01billion across the same tenors.
