Provincial allocations

The 2009 medium-term expenditure framework (MTEF) recognises the important developmental role played by provincial and local government and continues to strengthen their ability to provide social and municipal basic services and perform the functions allocated to them in line with section 214(2)(a) to (j) of the Constitution. Excluding debt service costs and the contingency reserve, allocated expenditure to be shared between the three spheres amounts to R677.3 billion, R720.2 billion and R762.1 billion over each of the MTEF years. These allocations take into account government’s spending priorities, the revenue-raising capacity and functional responsibilities of each sphere, and inputs from various intergovernmental forums and the recommendations of the FFC. Further, the design of the equitable share formulas for both provincial and local governments are such that these spheres have desirable, stable and predictable revenue shares, and economic and fiscal disparities are addressed.
