SCHEDULE

POLICY AND FINANCIAL RESOLUTIONS RELATING TO THE

2025 MEDIUM TERM DEBT MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

A. POLICY RESOLUTIONS

(1) THAT, all securitisation and commitment of public money be subjected to transparent disclosure and parliamentary oversight, including publication of the fiscal implications of these commitments to future debt sustainability.

(2) THAT, to strengthen productive capacity, accelerate growth, and expand future debt repayment capacity, the National Treasury increases the development expenditure above the statutory minimum of 30% of all expenditures as set out in section 15 of the Public Finance Management (PFM) Ac,t CAP. 412 over the medium term.

(3) THAT, given the declining Central Bank Rate (CBR), the National Treasury should ensure that planned domestic borrowing remains appropriately sized and carefully timed so that Government demand for funds does not unduly crowd out credit to the private sector.

(4) THAT, the National Treasury provides a risk-mitigation plan for election-cycle and other unavoidable spending pressures, including safeguards to prevent obvious shocks to the fiscal framework over the medium term, supplementary budgets and in-year reallocations from undermining the Medium Term Debt Strategy (MTDS) consolidation path.

(5) THAT, future MTDS incorporates explicit sensitivity analysis and contingency measures for climate-related and growth downside risks, including mechanisms to protect priority spending while maintaining adherence to fiscal targets.

(6) THAT, the National Treasury outlines expenditure rationalisation measures required to accelerate convergence toward the 55% statutory debt anchor (PV terms) under section 50 of the PFM Act, within 6 months.

(7) THAT, the National Treasury ensures that Public Private Partnerships (PPPs), securitisation and other alternative financing mechanisms are fully integrated into fiscal risk reporting and stress testing, to ensure the total fiscal exposure is transparently captured.

(8) THAT, in view of the anticipated reliance on commercial borrowing over the medium term, the National Treasury institutes robust reporting mechanisms on the utilisation of commercial loans to enhance traceability and accountability, particularly where such proceeds are applied to general budget support.

(No. 12)

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2026

(126)

(9) THAT, the National Treasury and relevant institutions sustain structural reforms aimed at raising potential growth and competitiveness, including reforms that strengthen productivity, support exports, and enhance the investment climate, in line with the objective of improving long-term debt sustainability.

B. FINANCIAL RESOLUTIONS

(1) THAT, the fiscal deficit target for the medium term is approved and set at 5.3 percent of GDP for FY 2026/27; 3.6 percent of GDP for FY 2027/28, and 3.3 percent of GDP for FY 2028/29, in line with the fiscal consolidation path; and

(2) THAT, the country’s borrowing strategy is approved at 22 percent for net external borrowing and 78 percent for net domestic borrowing as contained in the 2026 Medium Term Debt Management Strategy.
