Business Unity South Africa (Busa) on 12 May endorsed government’s imperative to implement economic transformation following a “frank” and “encouraging” engagement with Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba and Deputy Finance Minister Sfiso Buthelezi.
The organisation further committed to exploring strategic partnerships in an effort to realise the “full potential of the South African economy and its people”
“The objective of the meeting was to explore ways in which Busa and its members could continue to cooperate with government and the National Treasury in order to stabilise and grow a transformed economy on an expedited basis,” Busa CEO Tanya Cohen said in a statement.
In addition, the discussions emphasised the need for consistent and stable macroeconomic policies with a focus on implementation; the necessity of bringing good governance and efficiency to State-owned companies; and the imperative to grow and transform the economy in a sustainable and accelerated manner.
