  • A Vector Error Correction Model of the South African Banks Stock Prices by Sophie Kasse-Kengne1 and Stephen Hosking
    A Vector Error Correction Model of the South African Banks Stock Prices By Sophie Kasse-Kengne1 and Stephen Hosking Faculty of Business and Management Sciences Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Cape Town This version: August 2019 Abstract This paper investigates the long-run equilibrium relationships between selected economic fundamentals and banks’ stock prices in South Africa between 2010 and 2018. It further evaluates the predictive power of these stock prices on the economic growth. Johansen co-integration tests, vector error correction models and granger causality tests were utilised. The findings revealed that in the long run, each bank’s stock price is co-integrated with two macroeconomic indicators. Industrial production has a long run positive effect on all the banks’ stock price, except one where the impact is negative. Exchange rate also has an ambivalent outcome. However, M2 and export constantly exhibited a long run but a negative effect. Furthermore, there is no dynamic co-movements between banks stock prices themselves, suggesting greater diversification despite these banks’ monopoly position. Finally, South African Banks Index has a co-integrating relationship with industrial production and exchange rate. While the index does not as a stand-alone unidirectionally cause the two variables, it jointly with industrial production granger causes exchange rate, implying an effective but weak predictive power. In a short run, only industrial production has a statistically significant positive or negative relationship with banks’ stock prices, corroborating its equivocal effect. Money supply, exchange rate and export have no significant explanatory influence. Key words: Banks stock prices; Johansen Co-integration; Vector Error correction; Impulse response function; Granger causality; South Africa.

Moreover, the trends set out in our previous trading statement remain relevant. Absa Group’s IFRS headline earnings per share (HEPS) and earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2020 are expected to decline by 55% to 60% from the 2019 comparatives of 1750.1 cents and 1717.6 cents, respectively. Normalised HEPS for the period is expected to decrease by 50% to 55% from the 1926.0 cents in 2019.

The latter adjusts for the consequences of the separation and better reflects its underlying performance.
