A sum not exceeding nine billion two hundred and ninety two million, eighty eight thousand two hundred and sixty two rupees (R9,292,088.262) is the amount the Minister for Finance, Trade, Investment and Economic Planning, Maurice Loustau-Lalanne is authorising to be paid out of the Consolidated Fund for the services and expenditure of the republic for the year 2020.

Approved by the Cabinet of Ministers, the 2019 budget appropriation of R9,292,088.262 was published as a supplement to the Official Gazette dated Thursday October 17, 2019.

Later this month, Minister Loustau-Lalanne is expected to introduce and request the National Assembly’s approval of the Appropriation Bill, 2020.

This is the third time after 2018 and 2019 that the appropriation bill is published in late October and not in December as was usually the case.
