By Andres R. Martinez - 2012-03-13T10:00:00Z

South African building confidence rose in the first quarter to the highest since the last three months of 2010, according to First National Bank.

The FNB/BER index increased 5 points to 34 in the first quarter from the previous quarter, the lender, a unit of Johannesburg-based FirstRand Ltd. (FSR), said in an e-mailed statement today.

The quarterly building confidence index is compiled by FNB and the University of Stellenbosch’s Bureau for Economic Research.
