CPPS’ response to Budget 2017
The Centre for Public Policy Studies (CPPS) views Budget 2017 as an attempt to balance multiple economic and political realities at a time when there is a need for tight fiscal constraints. Politically, the Budget has largely succeeded in its goal to bolster its traditional voter base through large investment in the civil service, rural and low-income communities, while also not alienating other groups as we move into what could become the beginning of an election period.
