Investec and GIBS publish the Investec GIBS Saving Index, which measures South Africa’s savings rate and the country’s savings behaviour. In a radio interview, Dr Adrian Saville, CEO of Cannon Asset Managers and Professor at Gordon Institute of Business Science (Gibs), discusses South Africa’s savings rate that is at a real-time low, with Bruce Whitfield.
