Press Release Summary: The demand for bank loans in South Africa will ascend during
2008-2012 due to an expected decline interest rates and boom in real estate market.


Press Release Body: On the back of real estate boom, rising demand of mortgage loans
and expected decline in interest rates, the total bank loans in South Africa are
projected to grow at a CAGR of 11.7% during 2007-2011. These are the findings of our
latest research report - “South African Banking Sector Analysis”.

As per our research, the South African housing market is going apace, creating a
high demand for mortgage loans and prompting the South African banks to actively
focus on developing a strategy to expand housing finance/mortgage loans industry.
This has supported the people in rural and urban areas with middle and lower income
by standardizing the primary mortgage market and making the services available to
all sections. As a result, mortgage loans remain the single largest component of
total banking assets in South Africa.

The demand for mortgage loans will further get a boost from the expected decline in
lending interest rates in coming few years due to stabilizing inflation. CPIX
inflation in South Africa is expected to peak at an average rate of around 13% in
the third quarter of 2008 but sink to an average of about 7.2% in 2009 and 5.9% in
2010.
