10. The South African economy continues to face significant headwinds exacerbated by the electricity and labour crises as well as the fall in most commodity prices,
severely impacting meaningful growth levels required to stimulate the economy.
Sasfin continues to focus on its target market comprising entrepreneurial businesses, institutions, corporates and private clients. Despite the prevailing levels of
uncertainty and constrained growth levels in the economy, the Group remains cautiously optimistic about the improved levels of business activity being
experienced across all segments.
Sasfin is well poised for sustainable growth and further expansion of its franchise value in its chosen markets. This growth will be aided by the recently launched
Transactional Banking service offering, strengthened by a strong capital and liquidity position.
The Sasfin Group remains well capitalised with Total Capital Adequacy, Tier 1 Capital Adequacy and leverage ratios significantly exceeding minimum regulatory
requirements.
