Abstract: This paper constructs a from-whom-to-whom matrix of financial stock positions for the South African economy and analyses the resulting data to illuminate its evolving financial structure over the last decade. Focusing on seven institutional sectors and multiple financial instruments over the last decade, we detail the dataset's construction before highlighting the key findings. From-whom-to-whom positions reveal a deeply interconnected financial system in which each sector fulfils distinct but interdependent roles.
