Ten Priorities for the 2022 Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement

A policy statement from the Institute for Economic Justice (IEJ) outlining ten priorities for Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana's 2022 Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement (MTBPS).

• The IEJ proposes ten priorities for the 2022 Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement, which include shifting the fiscal framework to address poverty, unemployment, and inequality, protecting public services, and improving the SRD grant as a move toward a Universal Basic Income Grant (UBIG).
• The IEJ recommends mobilizing resources through an equitable tax structure and windfall taxes, while investing in social infrastructure, the care economy, and economic infrastructure.
• Further priorities include addressing the climate and energy crisis via a just energy transition, increasing funding for industrial policy master plans, ensuring grants are not eroded by inflation, and enhancing budget transparency and participation.
