Join us for this weeks Monocle Current Account Podcast, where we unpack how the SARB’s 100-page Financial Stability Review paints a cautionary picture of South Africa’s financial system’s ability to withstand future shocks, following the impact of the coronavirus. Whilst financial institutions, in particular systemically important financial institution (SIFI) banks, have emerged from the lockdown well capitalised and even profitable, South Africa’s medium to long term growth and debt levels are becoming increasingly concerning.

We work through the Review in this episode for the Monocle Current Account and unpack the most significant developments in South Africa’s financial stability, from our recent credit risk downgrade; Covid-19 solvency stress testing; and even how climate change may disrupt South Africa’s economy.
