South Africa’s foreign direct investment outflows fell to R21.0 billion ($1.25 billion) in Q3 2025 from R73.5 billion in Q2, per South African Reserve Bank Quarterly Bulletin data released December 15. The decline stemmed mainly from Anglo American’s sale of its remaining stake in Valterra Platinum, partly offset by increased foreign ownership in the media sector via Canal+’s takeover of MultiChoice.
Portfolio investment inflows slowed to R40.7 billion in July-September from R69.4 billion in the prior quarter.
