We therefore strive to ensure that the public trust in our banknotes and coin, as well as in the SARB, as the institution that issues them, is maintained. Preserving the value of our money contributes to stronger economic growth and employment creation over time.
Furthermore, a low and stable inflation rate protects the purchasing power of all South Africans and contributes to a lower cost of living . South Africans should be proud that, despite all the challenges that we face as a country, we do not live in an economy with very high inflation.
