Page 4: FFC’s RESPONSE TO MTBS 2001 ----------------------------------------------------------------

SOCIAL SERVICES

• Real increases enable progressive realization but shift towards infrastructure in allocations.

• Provinces spending on CMBS increases to 72% of PES

• HIV/AIDS and ECDP conditional grants

Page 5: FFC’s RESPONSE TO MTBS 2001 ----------------------------------------------------------------

LOCAL GOVERNMENT 

• Significant increases in LES and conditional grants for municipal basic services. Own revenue raising potential high but threatened by electricity restructuring. Personnel spending could rise disproportionately with amalgamations and function shifts.

Page 6: FFC’s RESPONSE TO MTBS 2001 ----------------------------------------------------------------

ANALYSIS OF THE NATIONAL BUDGET

Financing the National Budget Counter-cyclical fiscal and monetary policy Tax: GDP ratio projected constant. Deficit financing to rise.

Debt-servicing costs decline over short- to medium-term. Contingency reserves for risk management

Vertical Division of Revenue 

Relative shift to local and national government infrastructure programs

Page 7: FFC’s RESPONSE TO MTBS 2001 ----------------------------------------------------------------

ANALYSIS OF PROVINCIAL BUDGETS

 Financing Provincial Budgets

 Provincial surpluses continue Reliance on transfers from nationally-raised revenues increasing 

Expenditure Trends Real growth in all sectors but relative shift to infrastructure and welfare

Constitutionally Mandated Basic Services

Page 8: FFC’s RESPONSE TO MTBS 2001 ----------------------------------------------------------------

ANALYSIS OF MUNICIPAL BUDGETS

 

• Metropolitan municipalities most self-sufficient. Other urban and especially rural municipalities are most reliant on LES and conditional grant transfers.

•  Sharp real increase in LES and conditional grant transfers.
