On the other hand, South Africa is blessed with a sophisticated, privately owned, financial system comparable in many respects with the best of the developed economies. The financial sector is well regulated, as confirmed by the IMF and World Bank's joint Financial Sector Assessment Programme (FSAP). The banking sector is more than adequately capitalised, and its risks are well managed.
