SADC Banking Landscape: Cross-Border Capital Flows and Dollarisation Dynamics

Description

SADC Banking Landscape: Cross-Border Capital Flows and Dollarisation Dynamics gives every one of the sixteen SADC member states its own properly researched profile, benchmarked against the other fifteen on the metrics that actually drive investment, credit, and treasury decisions: currency regime, banking sector scale, sovereign rating, reserve adequacy, and dollarisation exposure.

At the centre of the report sits the most detailed independent treatment of Zimbabwe’s currency history and the ZiG currently available anywhere, a case study institutional investors, DFIs, and treasury teams operating in or around Zimbabwe will not find matched at this level of detail from any other single published source.

What’s inside

Full country-by-country coverage of South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Mozambique, Angola, Mauritius, Tanzania, DR Congo, Malawi, Lesotho, Eswatini, Madagascar, Seychelles, and Comoros, each profiled on currency regime, banking sector structure, and key institutions. A complete currency regime taxonomy across all six SADC regime types, from the Rand-pegged Common Monetary Area to Zimbabwe’s structured dual-currency system. Cross-border banking group footprint mapping covering Standard Bank, Absa, FirstRand, Ecobank, and Standard Chartered tracked country by country across the region. Dollarisation analysis quantified and compared across every materially dollarised SADC banking system, not just Zimbabwe. Sovereign credit ratings, policy rates, and inflation benchmarked side by side across the region’s most closely tracked economies. Regional payment infrastructure coverage of SADC-RTGS, TCIB, correspondent banking de-risking trends, and remittance corridor sizing. A historical currency crisis timeline connecting Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, and Angola’s crises into one comparative regional narrative. Development finance institution mapping covering DBSA, Afreximbank, TDB, and Africa50’s regional roles. A full appendix containing a 16-country currency rate table with USD equivalents at today’s spot rate, and a complete directory of major banks by country.
