The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) is South Africa's central bank, established in 1921. It formulates and implements monetary policy, issues currency, manages foreign reserves, and ensures financial stability[1][3]. SARB serves the entire South African economy, acting as a banker to the government and regulating financial institutions[5]. Its unique selling proposition is its independence and role in maintaining price stability, crucial for sustainable economic growth[5]. The target audience includes financial institutions, government entities, and the broader public[4]. SARB's services include managing the national payment system and administering exchange controls[1][5].
