Gauteng hosts Economic Indaba, 8 to 9 Jun

Premier Makhura announced during his State of the Province Address in February this year that a new Provincial Economic Plan had been formulated.

 

“The plan will focus on positioning Gauteng strategically in relation to the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region, African continent, BRICS countries and major economies in the world which are compatible with the province’s own economy,” said Premier Makhura.

 

He said the Economic Plan gave concrete effect to the Nine Point Plan announced by President Zuma in his 2015 State of the Nation Address, “but takes into account the unique features of our provincial economy”.

  

Various stakeholders, including, among others, business, organised labour, academics, economists and research institutions, will participate in the Indaba.
