Ukwenyuka okukhulu kwamanani okudla kube nomthelela ekwenyukeni ngo-7% emalini yabathengi yonyaka ngoFebhuwari isuka ku-6.9% ngoJanuwari – okuwukunyuka kokuqala ezinyangeni ezine.
I-Consumer Price Index (CPI) inyuke ngo-0.7% phakathi kukaJanuwari noFebhuwari, nokuwukukhula okukhulu kwanyanga zonke kusukela ngoJulayi 2022, kubika iStatistics SA ngoLwesithathu.
Umthombo: Izibalo SA
NgoFebhuwari, ukwehla kwamandla emali onyakeni kokudla neziphuzo ezingezona utshwala kufinyelele ku-13.6% – okuyizinga eliphakeme kakhulu kusukela ngo-April 2009.

Intengo yempuphu inyuke cishe ngama-35% onyakeni odlule, nokukhuphuka okukhulu ngo-2.2% phakathi kukaJanuwari noFebhuwari kuphela. I-Statistics SA ibika ukuthi amanani entengo akhuphuke cishe ku-7% ngenyanga eyodwa, kuyilapho i-macaroni (+4.4%) namabhisikidi amnandi (+4%) nawo abone ukunyuka okukhulu kwanyanga zonke.
Kube nokukhuphuka okukhulu kwanyanga zonke emananini entengo yefomula yobisi lwezingane (+7.2%), okusanhlamvu kwezingane (+4.6%), ujusi wezithelo (+4%) kanye neziphuzo ezinoshukela ethini (+3.3%).
Izintengo zenyama zikhuphuke zafinyelela ku-11.4% onyakeni kuya kuNhlolanja – ukukhuphuka okukhulu kwaminyaka yonke eminyakeni emihlanu. Kodwa-ke, ukunyuka kwanyanga zonke kube ngu-0.2% kuphela, okuwukukhula okuphansi kwenyanga ngonyaka.
Ezokuthutha (okuhlanganisa namanani kaphethiloli) nazo zibe negalelo emazingeni aphezulu okwehla kwamandla emali ngoFebhuwari kulandela ukunyuka kwamanani kwakamuva. Kepha ukukhuphuka kwamanani kaphethiloli minyaka yonke kwehle kwafinyelela ku-10.9%, ukufundwa okuphansi kakhulu kusukela ngoMashi 2021.
Izinombolo zokwehla kwamandla emali zangoFebhuwari zazihlanganisa nokukhuphuka kwamanani entengo yaminyaka yonke yezinsizakalo zezokwelapha (odokotela, odokotela bamazinyo kanye nezimali zamawadi asesibhedlela), kubika i-Statistics SA. Amanani enyuke ngo-5.3% ngoFebhuwari 2023, uma kuqhathaniswa no-5% ngonyaka odlule.
Umthelela kumazinga enzalo
Inombolo yakamuva yokwehla kwamandla emali izobhekwa uma ikomidi lenqubomgomo yezimali leBhange Lombuso lithatha isinqumo mayelana nokwenyuka kwezinga lenzalo ngesonto elizayo.
Kodwa okubaluleke kakhulu yisinqumo sebhange eliphakathi laseMelika lenzalo ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ngoLwesithathu.
Ibhange belisethubeni lokwenyuka kwamanani anolaka njengoba ukwehla kwamandla emali e-US kusalokhu kuphezulu ngenkani – kodwa inkinga yamabhange ingase iliqinisekise ukuthi iqaphe kakhulu ngokukhuphuka kwamanani. Osomnotho balindele ukuthi ingase ikhuphuke ngamaphesenti amancane angu-0.25 – noma inganyusi nhlobo amanani. Lokho kuzonika igunya lezezimali eNingizimu Afrika inkululeko enkulu.
Ukwehla kwamandla emali eNingizimu Afrika kufinyelele eminyakeni engu-13 ephezulu ngoJulayi nyakenye, kwafinyelela ku-7.8%. Ukupholisa ukwehla kwamandla emali, i-Reserve Bank inyuse inzalo ngamandla.
