System readiness is key to a successful JIBAR to ZARONIA transition

--:--
Welcome to the STANLIB Corporate Conversations Podcast Series – our newest resource designed to offer timely, expert insights into the forces shaping financial and fixed income markets. Our first episode focuses on a significant development in South Africa’s financial landscape — the transition from the long-standing Johannesburg Interbank Average Rate (JIBAR) to the South African Rand Overnight Index Average, better known as ZARONIA.

In this short and informative episode, Tarryn Sanker, STANLIB Head of Credit: Fixed Income, speaks to Eulali Gouws, STANLIB Head of Money Market, to outline the key timelines for the transition, which is set to take place in December 2026. She also explores the implications of this shift for money market and fixed income funds.
