SOUTH AFRICA: SARB To Release Financial Stability Review

SOUTH AFRICA
  • Tensions between the opposition Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) parties continue to simmer, with ex-senior EFF official Dali Mpofu, who recently jumped ship to the MK party, denying allegations that he had been pushing for a merger prior to leaving the EFF. Mpofu insisted that he was advocating unity between progressive parties rather than calling for the EFF to "collapse into MK."
  • S&P raised the outlook for South Africa's GDP growth by 0.1pp across 2024, 2025 and 2026 to +1.0% Y/Y, +1.6% Y/Y and +1.4% Y/Y respectively, citing above-forecast retails sales and the introduction of the two-pot pension system.
  • The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) will release its biannual Financial Stability Review (FSR) at 14:00GMT/16:00SAST. The release will be covered live on the SARB's social media channels.
  • Statistics SA will release October PPI data at 09:30GMT/11:30SAST. Producer prices may have slipped by 0.2% Y/Y, according to Bloomberg consensus.
