South African Reserve Bank Governor Lesetja Kganyago delivered a public lecture at the University of the Free State on August 15, 2024. During his address, he highlighted the ongoing economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which began nearly five years ago.
"We are just a few months away from marking a fifth full year since the first case of COVID-19 was reported," Kganyago stated. "This is remarkable − in part, because we still live with the economic shocks that followed the pandemic."
