    147 Chapter 5 South Africa's Experience with Inflation: A

    147 CHAPTER 5 SOUTH AFRICA’S EXPERIENCE WITH INFLATION: A CENTRAL BANK PERSPECTIVE 5.1 Introduction Although a country’s experience with inflation can be reviewed from different perspectives (e.g. the government, the statistical agency responsible for recording inflation, producers, consumers or savers), this chapter reviews South Africa’s experience with inflation from the perspective of the SA Reserve Bank. The SA Reserve Bank was chosen because this study focuses on inflation from a monetary perspective. Reliable inflation data for South Africa are published as far back as 192153, co-inciding with the establishment of the SA Reserve Bank, although rudimentary data on price levels are available as far back as 1895. South Africa’s problems with accelerating inflation since the 1970s are well documented (see for instance De Kock, 1981; De Kock, 1984; Republiek van Suid-Afrika, 1985; Rupert, 1974a; Rupert, 1974b; or Stals, 1989), but various parts (or regions) of what constitutes today the Republic of South Africa have experienced problems with inflation, rising prices or currency depreciation well before 1921. The first example of early inflation in South Africa was caused by currency depreciation. At the time of the second British annexation of the Cape in 1806, the Dutch riksdaalder (“riksdollar”) served as the major local currency in circulation. During the tenure of Caledon, Governor of the Cape Colony from 1807 to 1811, and Cradock, Governor from 1811 to 1814, riksdollar notes in circulation were increased by nearly 50 per cent (Engelbrecht, 1987: 29). As could be expected under circumstances of increasing currency in circulation, the value of the riksdollar in comparison to the British pound sterling and in terms of its purchasing power declined from 4 shillings in 1806 to 1 shilling and 5½ pennies in 1825 (or 53 Tables A1 to C1 in Appendices A to C highlight South Africa’s experience with inflation, as measured by changes in the CPI since 1921.

It inaugurated a period during which the pound sterling declined in terms of the dollar, the franc, and all other currencies which, through the mechanism of the international gold standard or otherwise, were kept in an un- changed and stable relation to these two currencies and to one another. The Concept of the Breakup of the Nucleus as opposed to the Concept of the Depreciation of Sterling This situation is simply described by saying that the pound sterling depreciated 'in terms of gold,' or still more simply that it 'depreciated.' In the use of these terms, which might be applied equally to the currencies of Peru, Spain, or Aus- tralia, there is a danger to clear thinking, not because they do not accurately describe the surface facts, but because they carry certain implications. To say that sterling has depre- ciated in terms of gold implies that nothing very serious has happened to gold as an international monetary standard, and that the international gold standard system continues to operate as before, with only the loss of one of its members.
