Your credit card bill might look tiny when companies and countries are collapsing under debt, but that’s not a reason to turn a blind eye and a new private-public partnership is on hand to help tackle the issue. The South African Savings Institute (Sasi), National Treasury and corporate partners including Nedbank and Old Mutual last week launched the Sasi Savings Convention at Maponya Mall in Soweto, aiming to bring savings, financial literacy and resources to people who need it. The chairperson of Sasi, Prem Govender, said: “Our new Savings Month initiative, the Sasi Savings Convention, provides consumers with first-hand guidance as a one-stop platform for productive interaction between the demand and supply said of the financial sector – consumers, practitioners, regulators and policymakers.” – ANA
