The SARB compiles high-quality economic and financial statistics based on international best practice for use by policymakers, financial market participants and the general public. These statistics inform the SARB’s monetary policy decisions and are regularly updated. They can be found online and in various SARB publications, along with a detailed analysis thereof.
The Quarterly Bulletin analyses domestic and international economic and financial market developments. It also contains statistical tables and notes on methodological statistical issues, and examines topics relevant at the time of publication.
