South African Reserve Bank Governor Lesetja Kganyago said there’s no disagreement with the National Treasury over his decision to anchor inflation at the bottom of the bank’s 3% to 6% target range, while conceding the announcement could have been handled better.

“Communication was not what it was supposed to be, to be honest,” he told a parliamentary hearing on Thursday. “There isn’t a disagreement about the lowering of the target.”
