2025 SA Budget Speech Roundtable Discussion
Despite the optimism surrounding the Government of National Unity (GNU), South Africa’s economy remains under strain - marked by stagnant growth, high unemployment, and persistent poverty. For this optimism to translate into meaningful economic outcomes, our country must commit to continued structural reform and the rebuilding of critical infrastructure.
In the 2024 Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement (MTBPS), National Treasury began redirecting attention to infrastructure investment and financing. Now, as we approach the 2025 budget announcement, we’re eager to see how these efforts will be expanded.?
Are new proposals for poverty alleviation and infrastructure development on the horizon?
How will troubled State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) reconcile austerity with structural reform and reliable service delivery?
What impact will the GNU’s policies have on South Africa’s fiscal and economic trajectory?
Will there be changes in medical aid tax credits to support National Health Insurance (NHI) funding?
Could we see a “creeping” wealth tax on high-net-worth individuals, coupled with increases in inheritance, estate, and luxury import taxes?
Are there new measures on the way to address the rising cost-of-living crisis?
This roundtable aims to discuss these pressing issues, providing a platform for dialogue on how the budget will impact our economy and society, and what measures we can anticipate.
