Johannesburg, South Africa – South Africa’s private sector credit saw a remarkable rise of 7.29% year-on-year in November 2025. This surge marks the highest growth in private credit since February 2023 and follows a 7.26% increase in October, signaling a strong expansion in the country’s economic activities within the private sector.
Moreover, the broadly defined M3 money supply rose by 8.26%, reaching a new record high of ZAR 5,845,499 million. This notable increase reflects enhanced liquidity in the South African economy and could fuel further economic development.
