Budget 2026–2027: Infrastructure for national development

The 2026–2027 Budget provides for a series of measures aimed at strengthening national infrastructure to support economic development and improve public service delivery.

In order to enhance connectivity across the country, an inter-connected road network from the north-to-south and east-to-west is being developed. Government is therefore providing Rs 2 billion for the M4 Motorway project connecting Forbach to the airport, which will further open up access to the villages in that corridor and provide economic opportunities.

Provision is also made for the upgrading of public services infrastructure. Government will undertake a comprehensive programme to rehabilitate and modernise public buildings and facilities, including courts, post offices, police stations and other essential service points, many of which are currently in a dilapidated condition. An amount of Rs 10 million has been allocated to conduct an assessment aimed at improving access to public services through the upgrading of facilities and equipment nationwide.

In addition, measures are being introduced to support the transformation of the construction industry in line with energy efficiency and environmental objectives. Legislative provisions are being amended to implement a Green Building Code, with the aim of ensuring that buildings increasingly function not only as energy consumers, but also as energy producers, in support of a more sustainable built environment.
