SA Banks safer than Swiss, British, German, American

26 Oct 2008
Out of the global economic meltdown comes some good news for South Africa:
 
"The World Economic Forum ranked South Africa's banks the 15th most secure out of 134 countries in the 2008/09 Global Competitiveness Report." 
"South Africa's score of 6.54 (out of 7) in this sub index indicates that the country's banks are generally more healthy and have more sound balance sheets than the banks of countries such as Switzerland who ranked 16th, Germany (39th), the United States (40th) and the United Kingdom (44th)."
