# As Finance minister Enoch Godongwana is set to table the Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement today, the DA says South Africa needs better spending, faster reform and greater accountability. Economists expect Godongwana to report an improvement in the country’s fiscal position, with the budget deficit potentially narrowing and the primary budget surplus strengthening beyond earlier projections. The DA says it will judge the budget against five key priorities. These are: stabilise public debt, put a fiscal rule into law, spend on the right things, speed up reform, and fix failing municipalities.
