# Source Document Not Available

The source document for the South African Composite Leading Business Cycle Indicator (scheduled for release on March 24, 2026) could not be retrieved.

**Reason:** The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) typically releases this report at 09:00 AM SAST (07:00 AM UTC). While the current time is 07:07 AM UTC, the direct URL for the March 2026 PDF (following the standard naming convention used for the February 2026 release) is not yet active, and the publication index has not been updated with the new file.

**Indicators requested:**
- Leading Business Cycle Indicator MoM (Jan)

**Note:** The previous release (February 2026, covering December 2025 data) was found and verified, confirming the source location and naming patterns, but it does not contain the "Jan" period data requested in the payload (which reports an "actual" of 0.4% and "previous" of -1.0%).
