SOUTH AFRICA: Quick reminder, the South African finance ministry today unveil
their medium-term budget today to "provide the country, and its elected
representatives an update on national treasury's assessment of the current
economic climate and outlook".
-This follows the release yesterday of the turnaround plan for beleaguered
utility Eskom, but the release stopped short of proposing any debt
restructuring.
-It's expected to be a pretty downbeat update, with unemployment high and tax
revenue low. Further guarantees for SOEs are expected.
