The warning was made this Thursday, in Maputo, by Emílio Rungo, senior staff of the WB, in a “briefing” to the press on the state of implementation of monetary policy, according to Notícias.
“In the medium term, the Central Bank’s perspective is to keep inflation at single digits. However, in the short term and in the immediate term, we anticipate that there will be high pressure on inflation, resulting from market prices,” Rungo said.
According to Emílio Rungo, within 15 to 60 days, the WB’s Monetary Policy Committee (CPMO) will meet to assess the current situation of generalized price increases and take appropriate measures to contain inflation.
