The market reaction to the budget tells you everything. Much of the good news priced in. But as the Budget review reminds us It’s important to remember how we got here – and to ensure that history does not repeat itself.

And then came COVID‐19. Let’s welcome our panel to review the budget after the dust has settled: • Mamello Matikinca, Chief Economist at FNB • Dr Miriam Altman, economist and professor of 4IR at UJ, • Peter Attard Montalto, Head of Capital Markets Research at Intellidex • Mathew Parks, parliamentary coordinator for Cosatu
