# The Bureau for Economic Research says the government should introduce a bank-style curatorship system for failing municipalities to improve service delivery and financial management. The bureau argues, unlike failing banks, municipalities are often hampered by complex laws and political interference, delaying effective intervention. It believes giving the National Treasury the power to appoint professional curators could help prevent municipalities from collapsing, strengthen financial management, and improve the delivery of essential services such as water, electricity and sanitation.
