Full explanation

South Africa M3 Money Supply YoY is the annual percentage growth in South Africa's M3 broad money supply, published monthly by the South African Reserve Bank (SARB). M3 includes notes and coin in circulation and the domestic private sector's deposits with banks, including long-term deposits. The figure compares the month-end stock with the same month a year earlier.

Why traders watch it

Broad money growth reflects bank credit creation and liquidity, giving a read on underlying demand and inflation pressure.

Stronger vs weaker outcomes

Faster growth than expected points to looser monetary and credit conditions and can support expectations of firmer activity or inflation; slower growth points the other way.

Stronger than expected

A higher reading means South Africa's broad money grew faster over the past year.

Weaker than expected

A lower reading means it grew more slowly.

In line with expectations

Higher means faster; lower means slower.
