GENERAL COMMENTS
• Real growth in nationally budgeted expenditure – stimulatory fiscal policy
• Tax: GDP ratio projected to remain constant but increased room for deficit financing for municipal and provincial spheres
• Contingency reserves
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
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.
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
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
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.
