Business welcomes the broad thrust of the final National Development Plan (NDP) as an essential roadmap to take the SA economy from where it is now to where we want it to be in 2030. What matters now to business is that the NDP must be urgently implemented to create the certainty and predictability that business and investor confidence needs.
The three most pressing priorities, more so now in the light of negative global developments, are unemployment, education, and a capable state. The NDP also emphasizes what business has been saying for some time – that all the plans and projects in the world will fail without successful implementation. For the NDP this will require tough decisions, political leadership and close collaboration with key stakeholders like business and labour.
The NDP is meant to be a shared national vision over the next two decades. BUSA therefore believes that the finalisation of the NDP should not be an excuse for further “talk shops” but rather be seen by all as a platform for urgent national action.
