Gill Marcus, the Governor of the SA Reserve Bank is the enemy of inflation.
No-one in SA is the enemy of the stable measuring unit assumption because no-one understands how it operates.
Accountants inexplicably forget that IFRS reject the stable measuring unit assumption in two instances:
(1) In IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies and
(2) The IASB approved its rejection during low inflation as an option in the Framework, Par. 104 (a) in 1989 which states:
"Financial capital maintenance can be measured in either nominal monetary units or in units of constant purchasing power."
Fact: Most countries, including SA, inflation-adjust salaries, wages, rentals, etc. during low inflation.
