I'm finding CBK and treasury moves very confusing and this needs to be resolved asap to jumpstart the econ. Expensive lending rates, expensive tbills, falling inflation rates... WTH... Someone is lying.
hehehe, @hisah. It's total confusion. Remember they've now upped the cbk overdraft to 19bln as at last week and that's priced at 16.50%. So why does gava luv being a price taker... borrowing from lender-of-last-resort (monetizing). Tbill rate behavior was following repo, but now with repo down the Tbill is in limbo. I think CBK and Treasury are on two completely different wavelengths. As for lending rates remain high... well that's a cartel you can't dictate to. “We are the middle children of history man, no purpose or place. We have no great war, no great depression.

They were to be released today afternoon With T-bills looking up, the inflation rate for July could only expected to face a certain direction.   Mark 12:29

Lets forget about the tbills/bonds, CBR, lending rates etc fin jargon. Say in Dec 2011 your shopping basket required 5,000. Lets assume the basket contents have remained constant till end of July. Is this 5,000 still enough to purchase the same contents through this 7 month window of inflation nosedive? Have you increased say more milk or bread, eggs, etc with that inflation rate slamdunk to 7.74% from 19.7%...? Answer this honestly to yourself. $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

Answer this honestly to yourself. Economics of the inflation The price of a basket of goods keeps going up year in year out unless a country is in deflation. Deflation is a negative inflation rate (below 0%) which is not desirable for a developing country like ours. Recently, the rate at which the price of a basket of good is rising has significantly declined. The inflation rate of 19.72% in Nov 2011 meant that the cost of a basket of goods was 19.72% more than in Nov 2010. The inflation rate of 7.74% in July 2012 means that the cost of a basket of goods is 7.74% more than in July 2011. It doesn’t mean that the cost of the basket of goods has declined. Truth be told, it’s good for us that the cost of a basket of goods has not gone up a whopping 19.7%. A low and stable inflation rate is what we need. So kudos that we have achieved a single digit inflation rate. Our short term target has been met

Anyway, let them slash the CBR by 400bps, flood the banks with easy credit and lets us celebrate the economy has been healed. Hurray!$15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!
