South Africa's central bank left its benchmark repurchase rate steady at 7.0 percent, as expected, citing an improvement in the outlook for inflation and a weak outlook for the economy.
IRESS announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire INET BFA, a leading provider of African market data, analysis tools and financial data feeds from Media24 for a total cash purchase price of R149.6 million.
Research conducted by Corinium Global Intelligence shows that South African organisations are beginning to realise the value that lies within their data.
South Africa's central bank left its benchmark repurchase rate steady at 7.0 percent, as expected, but said it remains concerned about the trajectory of inflation and it "remains ready to act appropriately to any significant change in the inflation outlook."
