Repo Rate Cut Could Lower Bond Payments
Story 3
South African homeowners could get welcome good news this Thursday, as the South African Reserve Bank is expected to announce another repo rate cut during its upcoming meeting.
Economists are hopeful, especially since the bank has already lowered the rate three times since July 2024.
If the rate drops again, it would reduce interest on home loans, meaning lower monthly bond repayments for many South Africans.
This move could help ease the financial pressure on households, with average property owners possibly saving hundreds of rands in the coming months.
