This overview of inflation in South Africa covers
developments between 1921 and 2006. The main
contribution of this research is the development of
an inflation credibility barometer that can be used
for the measurement and comparison of inflation
credibility. The barometer measures out of 100 the
degree of acceptance of the accuracy of historic
inflation figures. The methodology can be used for
the international measurement (and comparison between
countries) of the credibility of inflation figures
and sets a benchmark for the future measurement of
inflation credibility. Countries targeting inflation
by 2006 are considered in detail. A cluster of 23
countries was identified as inflation-targeting
countries in 2006: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile,
Colombia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Iceland,
Indonesia, Israel, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Peru,
Philippines, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, South Africa,
South Korea, Sweden, Thailand and United Kingdom.
Subsequently (in 2007) Ghana joined this cluster of
countries, although the inclusion or exclusion of
certain countries as inflation targeters in this
cluster is still the topic of some debate.
