The Riksbank kept its key policy rate at 1.75%.
Policymakers have now held steady for three consecutive meetings.
The Reserve Bank maintained its main repo rate at 6.75% as it weighed steady inflation, low oil prices and a stronger rand against global geopolitical uncertainty.
The bank’s monetary policy committee kept the nation’s benchmark rate at 15%, while indicating it may start cutting at its next meeting in March.
Ten of 12 analysts polled foresaw no change in the bank’s 2.25% benchmark rate for the entirety of this year.
Officials said they are unable to predict the timing and direction of the central bank’s next rate move.
