Business Leadership SA says government needs to invest its budget to drive growth

# Business Leadership South Africa says that despite South Africa stabilising its national debt and finances, growth is the missing ingredient. Finance minister Enoch Godongwana will table the Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement tomorrow. BLSA CEO Busisiwe Mavuso says that with the economy expected to grow barely above one-percent this year, there is little momentum to support improving revenues for the government. She says all the right ingredients are being gathered to support growth, including the structural reforms implemented in the country’s network industries, leading to reliable electricity, cheaper data, and improved logistics.
