DEPUTY Finance Minister David Masondo has assured investors that government is taking “deliberate steps” to restore fiscal discipline and stabilise debt.
The country's debt-to-GDP ratio is projected to stabilise at 77.4% of gross domestic product (GDP) this financial year, before declining to 74.4% by the end of the decade in 2029/30.
