Press Release Summary: With growing black middle class population, coupled with
rising income level and increasing confidence on the banking system, deposits at the
South African banks will increase substantially in coming years.

Press Release Body: According to our new report, “South Africa Banking Sector
Analysis”, on the back of rising income level, increasing confidence on the banking
system and growing black middle class population, the total bank deposits in South
Africa are projected to grow at a CAGR of 9% during 2008-2012.

As per our research, prospects for the South African banking sector are reasonably
bright as the emergence of black middle class will support the rising demand of
banking services like deposits. It is estimated that over 10 Million adults in the
country do not have access to even the most basic of banking services, including
deposit facilities, payment facilities and cash withdrawal. But gradually rising
income coupled with increase in awareness level is enabling this unbanked population
to accessing the banking services like bank deposits.

We expect that the population in the middle class bracket will continue to rise
during the forecast period, which will further boost the demand for banking services
like saving and current account deposits and related services like payment cards.
