3 Findings

2 Background

Data covers FY16-FY18 for all banks with December year ends (most), and FY17-FY19 for those with March year ends (Capitec, African Bank and 2 Investec)

Data supplied by the banks were based on the Financial Sector Code scorecard methodology

Ownership and management control data were weighed by banks’ total Methodology assets to determine industry aggregates

Earlier year figures (2016, 2017) were recalculated to reflect changes in the same group to allow year-on-year comparisons (two banks exited and four banks entered) and therefore differ from last year’s report
