The South African Reserve Bank (the Bank) defines its primary objective as "the achievement and maintenance of financial stability." The Bank's first task, derived from its constitutional mandate, is to ensure price stability. In addition to this the Bank has responsibility for ensuring that the South African monetary, banking and financial system as a whole is as robust as possible. In pursuit of this objective, the Bank publishes this semi-annual Financial Stability Review to communicate its assessment of financial system stability and stimulate debate around the issues. The Bank recognises, though, that it is not the sole custodian of financial system stability. It can only contribute towards a larger effort involving the government, other regulators and self-regulatory agencies.
This edition of the Financial Stability Review comprises two main sections:
- financial stability developments and trends, and
- infrastructure and regulation.
