Mboweni 说了食物价格年年增长，至四月升幅 15.9% 。 "This has serious implications for poor people and the unemployed, as their spending on food as percentage of total spending is much larger than is the case with the middle and high income groups. 「这对穷人与失业者是巨大冲击，花在食物上的钱比起中高收入成本高太多了。」 "Food accounts for more than 50% of the spending basket of the low income group, compared to some 17% of the spending of the highest income group, and some 20% of the overall CPI (Consumer Price Index) basket," Mboweni said in a speech posted on the Reserve Bank's website. 「食物占了低收入群的百分之五十的家计。高所得约百分之十七而已。全部约20 ％的 整体消费物价指数」Mboweni在Reserve Bank网站贴出声明。 He reiterated that SA was not expected to return to its inflation targets of between three and six percent before end-2009. 他重申南非预期无法回归通货膨胀目标于2009年底的百分之三到六。 "Food and petrol prices are the main contributors to inflation, but in recent months, more generalised price pressures have emerged as well," said Mboweni. 「食物与汽油价格主要通膨原因，但近几个月来，更多推断价格抬升压力也提高。」 "According to our most recent forecast, inflation is expected to persist above the inflation target of 3 - 6%, and is not expected to return to within the range before the end of 2009. 「根据我们最近的预测，通膨预计坚持提升3~6%，而且预计不会回复到2009年底的水准。 」 "The road ahead is going to be bumpy". 「前方的路更颠簸」 In attempts to curb inflation, the Reserve Bank has increased interest rates by 450 basis points since June 2006 and is expected to announce another increase this month. Reserve Bank试图抑止通膨而增加了利息有450个基点，於2006年六月，而这个月将再 增加。 - Sapa 南非 Sapa -- 本文Sapa所有 翻译sinsun or cinson --
