Inflation Intelligence
Know what your money is really worth.
Track South Africa’s key economic indicators in real time. FinVeil ingests CPI, PPI, repo rate, prime lending rate, and 33 exchange-rate pairs directly from the South African Reserve Bank’s public API — updated daily at 06:00 SAST with source attribution on every number.
How it works
Three steps.
Pull national CPI
Official CPI from the national statistics bureau (Stats SA live today), refreshed every month on release.
Calculate real purchasing power
Inflation-adjusted take-home for any base date.
Alert on erosion
Trigger a notification when real purchasing power drops below threshold.
