South Africa recorded foreign direct investment (FDI) outflows of R73.5-billion in the second quarter of 2025, compared to inflows of R11.7-billion in the first quarter, central bank data showed on Tuesday.

The South African Reserve Bank said in its Quarterly Bulletin that the outflows were primarily due to Anglo American spinning off its platinum unit, which is now called Valterra Platinum.

Portfolio investments switched from outflows of R53.7-billion in January to March to inflows of R69.4-billion in April to June, mainly due to the distribution of shares in Valterra Platinum to non-resident shareholders of Anglo American.

Anglo American has been selling or spinning off non-core assets since a failed takeover attempt by bigger rival BHP last year, to focus on copper and iron-ore.
