Interest rate

[supersunbird]

So I guess the interest rate stayed the same? Can't seem to find any news story...

 

[Dolby]

Isn't it later?

 

[Myrrdin]

Like at 15:00 I think.

 

[supersunbird]

Oh, I thought it would have been announced yesterday... so we can still hope.

 

[Dolby]

I'm hoping it stays the same ...

 

[supersunbird]

I could do with a half percentage drop..

 

[Pitbull]

+1 for staying the same.

I would love to pay little less on my car But it's best for everyone if it stays as it is for a little longer

 

[slayerza]

Agreed that it should stay the same, at least until next quarter. although a drop would be nice

 

[CathJ]

I hope it stays the same - otherwise inflation will outstrip the interest rate I'm getting at the bank (if it hasn't already).

 

[Dolby]

Yup - ABSA are currently give me 11.9100

 

[semiautomatix]

Screw everyone who says it must stay the same. -1% will do everyone the world of good to have a merry little Christmas!

It would help the economy out too by stimilating some spending, less job losses and thus less new possible crims...

Yup, there are positives on both sides. But for now I'm gonna be selfish!

I'll give u 12.1

 

[guest2013-1]

I'll give u 12.1

I once got 11.56% and I asked if they can't do any better than prime + 1 or whatever and they said, sure, 11.50%....

lol

 

[Wynsam]

Rate down by 0.5%

 

[Dolby]

A fair compromise, I guess

Most here wanted one - some wanted it to stay the same.

 

[Pyro]

Estimates were for a drop of 0.5% over the 4 consecutive periods, so it's in line so far...
