The workshop focused on different aspects of integrating payment systems and the process of harmonising or optimising payment system infrastructure, and enabled delegates to frame a composite picture of the SADC payment system integration project. The majority of the country representatives who had participated in implementing national real-time gross settlement systems are now no longer part of the central banks’ payment systems teams. This workshop gave the newer representatives of the central banks first-time exposure to the initial phases of a regional project.

The project team will maintain contact with the international experts to get their input, solicit their advice, and engage them in project initiatives such as workshops and conferences.

  • Absa Group Interim Results Highlight the Resilience of Its Business
    24 August 2020 For Immediate release Absa Group Interim Results Highlight the Resilience of its Business *Salient points Revenue increased 3% to R40.1 billion Operating costs fell 2% to R21.6 billion Cost-to-income ratio improved to 53.9% from 56.7% Pre-provision profit increased 9% to R18.5 billion Impairments increased four-fold to R14.7 billion Headline earnings declined 82% to R1.46 billion Return on equity declined to 2.6% from 16.4% - Group CET 1 ratio of 11%, well above regulatory requirements - Zero dividend declared Despite significantly higher credit impairments and the material impact of the lockdowns on transactional volumes, Absa Group, including all business units, remained profitable. In addition, revenue increased by 3% while cost-to-income ratio reduced from 56.7% to 53.9%. The group also reported an 82% decline in normalised interim earnings after impairments increased four-fold to R14.7 billion. Impairment charges rose as customers and clients struggled to repay debt and as the Group took decisive action to increase impairment provisions against future potential credit losses. The Group expects a continued difficult environment for the consumer and heightened uncertainty is expected in the remainder of 2020. “In the current economic climate, ensuring continued operational and financial resilience is paramount. We are therefore temporarily holding our growth ambitions in abeyance to focus on cost management and capital and liquidity preservation, while continuing to support customers,” said Daniel Mminele, Absa Group Chief Executive. While the negative impact of the crisis on Absa’s earnings is clear, the interim results also highlight the resilience of the business.

  • Daniel Mminele: Underpinnings of Sustainable Growth in Africa
    Daniel Mminele: Underpinnings of sustainable growth in Africa Address by Mr Daniel Mminele, Deputy Governor of the South African Reserve Bank, at the IIF Africa Financial Summit, Sandton, 11 November 2013. * * * Mr Tim Adams, President and CEO, Institute of International Finance (IIF), Mike Brown, Chief Executive, Nedbank, and honoured guests, allow me to express my gratitude for the honour and privilege to present the opening keynote address of the 2nd Africa Financial Summit. 1. Introduction In May 2000, the Economist magazine labelled Africa the “Hopeless Continent”, claiming that natural disasters, mass murders, a string of wars, institutional constraints and a lack of commitment to democratic practices meant that the new millennium had brought disaster rather than hope to Africa.1 In March 2013, the Economist had a complete change of mind declaring that Africa is “a Hopeful Continent” since “African lives have greatly improved over the past decade…and the next ten years will be even better”2. It is heartening to note that negative perceptions about African economic prospects, which were the norm at the turn of the millennium, are less of an issue today. While many challenges persist, Africa has shown that there is a high level of commitment and potential to achieving economic success. In this address, I would like to take stock of some of the economic successes that African countries have achieved, highlight some of the underpinnings for sustainable growth outcomes and prospects in Africa, and then look at some of the challenges facing monetary authorities. 2. Africa’s economic successes Africa’s average growth rates have exceeded 5 per cent since 2000, double the pace of the 1980s and 1990s.
