South Africa’s Budget and the Challenge of Structural Change and Economic Growth
Abstract
South Africa’s budget plays a crucial role in addressing structural economic challenges and fostering sustainable growth. This seminar explores how fiscal policy navigates issues such as unemployment, inequality, and productivity constraints while maintaining debt sustainability.
We examine the impact of government spending, tax policy, and infrastructure investment on economic transformation. Comparisons with other economies provide insight into effective budgetary strategies for long-term growth.
The discussion highlights key trade-offs in South Africa’s fiscal choices and the broader economic and political factors shaping the country’s budgetary trajectory.
