The SA Reserve Bank has cut the repo rate by 100 basis points, or one percentage point. This brings SA's repo rate to 4.25%.
Tuesday's announcement was the second major cut in less than a month, after the central bank cut the rate by one percentage point in mid-March.
"The May 2020 meeting of the MPC was moved earlier and took place today [Tuesday]," the bank said in a tweet.
