Introduction
• State-owned enterprises (SOEs) play a critical role in South Africa’s economy as they are responsible for providing the infrastructure and services on which the economy depends including electricity, water, freight logistics, commuter transport and telecommunications. \r\n
• Instead of being at the forefront of economic and social transformation, most SOEs have been associated with state capture, financial mismanagement and major governance failures due to weak accountability and inefficiency. \r\n
• Some of the biggest and most important SOEs have not met their mandates due to underperformance and require regular bailouts from government. \r\n
• In the fiscal year to end February 2021, direct transfers from the government to SOEs amounted to 1.6% of GDP compared to an average of 1% in the previous five fiscal years. \r\n
• Over the past two decades, government has spent more than R308bn bailing out and recapitalising SOEs.
Outlook
• While reform of SOEs has been a major theme of government for many years, there is no evidence of improvement. \r\n
• South Africa’s imminent grey listing may be the catalyst to accelerate reforms to counter corruption and enhance defences against fraud.\r\n
• BNP Paribas said SOEs will keep acting as a drag on growth due to their impact on public finances and the quality of infrastructure.
