South Africa: Technical Assistance Report-Fiscal Transparency Evaluation

April 15, 2024

Summary

South Africa has many elements of sound fiscal transparency practices. Based on an
assessment of fiscal transparency practices against the IMF’s Fiscal Transparency Code, South Africa's practices are strongest in fiscal reporting, followed by fiscal forecasting and budgeting, and weakest in fiscal risk analysis. There is room to improve South Africa’s fiscal reporting, budget transparency and management of fiscal risks.
