BoB misses inflation target.The annual inflation rate for December rose to 8.1 percent from 7.7 percent in November, further ballooning out of the Bank of Botswana's (BoB) inflation objective of between 4 percent and 7 percent for 2007.
In its mid-term monetary policy review last year, the BoB said although the forecast for trading partner countries inflation of 4 to 6 percent suggested that the Bank should lower the upper end of the range, it is considered more realistic to maintain the inflation objective of 4 to 7 percent for the remainder of the year.
