In a statement released earlier this week the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) gave context of the responsibilities of Corporation for Deposit Insurance (CODI).

“CODI’s primary responsibilities are establishing, maintaining and administering a deposit insurance fund to protect the banks’ covered depositors and inform the depositors of its benefits and limitations should a bank be placed into resolution. CODI is developing secondary legislation which specifies the cover limit for depositors. “

“The secondary legislation will be passed through a Parliamentary process and published by National Treasury in 2023. The legislation is required for CODI to become operational in 2024 and provide the necessary protection for depositors.” read the statement.
