SA municipalities expect budget deficit of R4.7bn in 2018/19 – Treasury
The revenue for South African municipalities is expected to rise to R431.5-billion in 2019/20 and R462.5-billion in 2020/21 from a budgeted R404.6-billion for 2018/19, the National Treasury said on Thursday.
In a statement on the medium term revenue and expenditure framework for municipalities, the Treasury said total municipal expenditure in 2018/19 was estimated at R441.6-billion, up 5.7 percent from 2017/18, and would increase to R467.9-billion in 2019/20 and R495-billion in 2020/21.
This would lead to a 2018/19 financial year net deficit of R4.7-billion, a shortfall of R2.8-billion in 2019/20 and a surplus of R41.3-million in 2020/21.
The Treasury said municipal operating expenditure on water, electricity, waste water management and waste management was budgeted to increase from R174.7-billion in 2017/18 to R184.3-billion in 2018/19, equating to half of the total operating expenditure of municipalities.
