Part 6/8:
As the conversation shifted towards future budget decisions, the DA leader articulated the need for courage and innovation in crafting fiscal policy. The possibility of exploring measures akin to those implemented in countries facing economic constraints, like Argentina, could be necessary. There is a demand for a bold approach that prioritizes stimulating economic growth rather than merely cutting expenditures.
The DA emphasizes that for South Africa to move beyond its current challenges, a focus on growth is crucial. With a current growth forecast of only 1.9%, the DA leader called for the development of a budget centered around achieving the 3% growth target set by the President, urging immediate action to invigorate the economy.
