# Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana is expected to announce an improved fiscal outlook when delivering his Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement in Parliament at two o’clock this afternoon. Higher tax revenue, driven partly by strong mining profits, has given Treasury more room to manoeuvre. Economists expect the minister to focus on stabilising government debt, controlling spending and possibly introducing a formal fiscal anchor. Pressure is also mounting for relief from soaring fuel prices and living costs, although weak economic growth limits the scope for additional spending.
