7.. Payment summary

7.1 Key assumptions

The expectations for crafting this budget were to provide a framework to the departmental officials for
setting priorities, determining service levels and allocating financial resources efficiently. The following key
assumptions were taken into consideration when this budget was formulated:
x Budgetary reduction on the Compensation of Employees (CoE) and other non-COE expenditure
items are based on the cuts towards wage freeze reductions, fiscal consolidation reductions and
adjustment to baseline for the new data in the PES formula amongst other things;
x Cost containment measures to be implemented as much as possible in order to ensure an efficient
use of fiscal resources; and
x Inflation over the 2023 MTEF is 4.42 per cent in 2023/24, 4.45 per cent in 2024/25 and 4.48 per cent
in 2025/26.
