Public lecture by Mr Lesetja Kganyago, Governor of the South African Reserve Bank, at the University of South Africa, Pretoria, 24 July 2019.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Today, I would like to talk about the South African Reserve Bank's (SARB) mandate: what it is, how we interpret it, and where we are in our national conversation about the SARB.
Although central banking has a global reputation for being boring, in South Africa it has been getting a lot of attention. Much of this is welcome: it is largely a useful opportunity for improving public understanding of what the SARB does, while we at the SARB also learn and benefit from our interactions with people all over South Africa.
