JOHANNESBURG, June 4 (Reuters) – South Africa’s banking
sector remains adequately capitalised, with the Tier 1 ratio
rising to 12.2 percent at the end of 2011 from 11.8 percent the
previous year, a central bank report said on Monday.
Impaired advances, or bad loans, averaged 4.7 percent of
banks’ total loans in 2011.
