In a survey last May, 71 out of 72 economists expected the MPC to keep the repo rate unchanged at its June 5-7 meeting. It will remain unchanged at 6.50 per cent. Moreover, amid a booming economy, the central bank has raised the repo rate to a high of 6.5 per cent from February 2023 to avoid the MPC cutting interest rates.
