BUDGET: ANC says the medium-term budget has provided a positive roadmap for the economy

# The ANC says the Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement demonstrates that under its leadership, fiscal discipline and social justice can coexist. Minister of Finance Enoch Godongwana tabled the budget in Parliament yesterday, where he announced a new inflation target for South Africa of three-percent with a one percentage point tolerance band. The ANC says it particularly welcomes the allocation of 943-billion-rand over the next three years for infrastructure investment. The party says Godongwana has provided a positive roadmap for the economy, but much still needs to be done.
