The South African Reserve Bank (Sarb) has officially opened its new museum and renovated head office campus in Pretoria, with President Cyril Ramaphosa using the occasion to reaffirm the importance of the central bank’s independence and its role in supporting economic growth and financial stability.
The museum forms part of the Sarb’s commitment to transparency and accountability, opening its work to the public to enhance understanding of the central bank’s role in the economy. This will further serve to bring the institution closer to the public, fostering greater engagement and trust.
Speaking at the launch on Friday, Sarb Governor Lesetja Kganyago said the museum was created to make the institution more accessible to the public and to improve understanding of the role it plays in the economy.
“Today is about more than buildings. It is about opening our institution to the people of South Africa as we approach the Sarb’s 105th anniversary at the end of this month,” Kganyago said.
