Event Details

Dr. Franz Cronjé, Director of the Centre for Risk Analysis, is joining us to give us his thoughts and interpretation on Finance Minister Tito Mboweni's 2021 Budget Speech, which will be held just a few days before. Frans will discuss amongst other things:


  • The negative extent to which the lockdown has had on an already deteriorated fiscus.
  • What will the 2021 Budget speech mean for government revenue, expenditure, and economic growth outlook in South Africa?
  • Will the Covid-19 pandemic be the turning point for reform or be a trend accelerator for counterproductive polices.
  • The solvency of the SARB and possible inflationary periods in South Africa.


Join us for this topical discussion on the effects Government's fiscal policy might have on businesses in South Africa.
