Comment on Provincial budget
8 March 2017
IT is clear from the new provincial budget that the Western Cape continues to lead the way in promoting industrial development and growth, says the Cape Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
“I think this is largely due to the imaginative approach adopted to encourage industries like tourism, renewable energy and modern broad band communication,” said Ms Janine Myburgh, President of the Chamber.
“It is also because the province goes out of its way to encourage business and a business friendly environment. That is a welcome contrast to what is happening in the rest of the country.”
Ms Myburgh said it was clear from the statistics that performance in sectors like education that the situation in the Province was continuing to improve.
