[Q2W]

The 2 main contributors is Oil and Food prices. There's nothing Mboweni can do about that.

[scandal]

CPIX higher than expected, but the breach of the target is in the past. We can't ignore impact on expectations. Broad-based price pressures evident. Biggest impact comes from the petrol price on CPIX. Oil remains upside risk to inflation outlook. Service price inflation increasing. Deterioration in inflation outlook. CPIX to remain above target in second quarter. CPIX to breach 6% in fourth quarter and first quarter of 2008. Risks to inflation outlook on the upside therefore a tighter stance is needed to contain it. Food price pressures to persist. Fixed investment to sustain growth. Manufacturing output moderating Current-account deficit narrowed in first quarter but adequately financed

Food price increases mostly in first half of the year. Food commodity prices increased substantially last few months.
