Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana faces the task of incorporating a credible debt-relief plan for the stricken state power utility in the national budget while stabilising government finances as record blackouts weigh on the economy.
Reducing Eskom’s liabilities will allow the loss-making company to raise funds to carry out plant maintenance and strengthen the power grid. But it will also add to the state’s overall debt burden of almost R5 trillion and to its debt-service costs, the fastest-growing expenditure line item for about a decade.
Record blackouts will complicate Godongwana’s efforts to convince markets that key fiscal metrics, including the budget gap and primary balance, will improve. The outages cost the country as much as R and have prompted the central bank to cut its 2023 economic growth forecast to 0.3% from 1.1%.
