The South African Reserve Bank has a long history of hiking rates to hit its 3-6% inflation target while the economy collapses around them. This obsession with statistical price stability over genuine economic health perfectly captures the intellectual bankruptcy of modern central banking. SARB raised rates 475 basis points between November 2021 and June 2023, pushing the repo rate to 8.25%. Meanwhile, unemployment sits at 32.9%, GDP growth stagnates below 1%, and load-shedding has destroyed productive capacity. The bank treats these symptoms as unfortunate externalities rather than the predictable consequences of monetary central planning. Sustainable price stability emerges from increased production and voluntary exchange, not interest rate manipulation. When you artificially suppress demand through higher rates while ignoring supply-side destruction (thanks to government interference in energy markets), you create stagnation without addressing the root causes of price increases. The Reserve Bank fights the thermometer instead of the fever. The tragedy extends beyond South Africa's borders. Emerging market central banks worldwide copy this failed playbook, sacrificing real economic growth for the illusion of monetary control. They target narrow price indices while ignoring asset bubbles, credit misallocation, and the systematic destruction of savings through currency debasement. Every rate hike that pushes another business into bankruptcy while politicians celebrate "inflation progress" proves that central banks serve political masters, not economic reality.
