  • Bloomberg report that the BankservAfrica Economic Transactions Index, which tracks interbank payments, dropped to 134.5 from a revised 136.4 in June. That signals further strain in the broader South African economy, the company said in a statement.
  • South Africa’s central bank governor Lesetja Kganyago has said the fallout from falling into a global ‘grey-list’ of countries that aren’t doing enough to stop the flow of dirty money would be “massive” and has urged authorities to take the necessary measures to prevent this from happening, Bloomberg report.
  • BusinessLive report that whilst South Africans are set for some relief in September with a fuel price reduction on the cards due to a stronger rand and lower oil prices, civil action organiser Outa have expressed concerns that the government might not pass the savings to motorists, and instead use it to fund freeways.
