South African Reserve Bank Financial Stability Review

The South African Reserve Bank publishes its Financial Stability Review twice a year. The report describes potential risks to the financial stability of the national economy. The stability refers to the ability of the financial system to withstand negative factors and systemic risks.

The primary responsibility of the SARB is to maintain financial stability in the country for balanced and sustainable economic growth in South Africa. As part of its commitments, the Bank publishes semi-annual Financial Stability Reviews, which address the analysis of potential risks for the financial system stability.

The Bank publishes the review to raise awareness of the relevant issues not only for those responsible in the financial industry, but also for the general public to understand and to gain confidence in the situation.
