He gives an example of a multinational company that had to invest in a large-scale backup fire suppression system for R12 million. “As necessary as this investment was, the company partially failed an ad hoc insurance inspection because there was no water coming out of the grid-based fire suppression system.”“The South African Reserve Bank has on numerous occasions highlighted its concern about the pace of increases in administered prices and their impact on general inflation,” he says.
