The Reserve Bank's Monetary Policy Committee is expected to keep rates the same on Tuesday as Gill Marcus is due to make her first announcement as the bank’s governor.

Marcus took over as governor last month after Tito Mboweni declined an offer to serve a third term.

Standard Bank's Danalee van Dyk says she is not expecting anything radical from the MPC on Tuesday.

"We think that Gill Marcus is likely to maintain a very similar style to her predecessor. We really do not expect any dramatic changes immediately," says van Dyk.

ETM Economist George Glynos says Marcus is unlikely to have any major impact in the short term but in the long run her effects on monetary policy could be felt.
