Consumer inflation accelerates in April
Headline inflation rose to 4.0% year-on-year (y/y) in April from 3.1% in March. The print is higher than our forecast of 3.8% but in line with market consensus. Monthly pressure was 1.1%, mainly due to pressures from fuel and core inflation, with a further marginal pressure from food.

The real cost of retirement is often shaped by what people did not plan for
Retirement is often imagined as a time of independence. After decades of work, people hope to enter a stage of life where they have greater freedom, fewer obligations and the financial flexibility to live on their own terms. That aspiration is a powerful planning incentive, particularly among those who have worked hard to build wealth and provide for their families during their careers. But FNB's Retirement Insights Survey continues to show that the reality of retirement for many people, across all income segments, is often more complicated than the vision.

Key Insights from the 2026 Retirement Insights Survey
The FNB Retirement Insights Survey continues to build a deeper understanding of how South Africans think about, prepare for and experience retirement. When we launched this research, the intention was not simply to produce an annual report. We wanted to create a consistent body of insight that could help us, and our industry, track how retirement behaviour changes over time and identify where individuals need better support.
