Gauteng Finance MEC Barbara Creecy expressed optimism on Tuesday that the province’s experience in developing a pipeline of blended-finance projects would position it well to tap into the new infrastructure fund being developed by national government. Delivering a R132.4-billion budget for 2019/20 in the Gauteng Provincial Legislature, Creecy noted that the Gauteng Infrastructure Finance Agency (Gifa) had already developed a portfolio of 20 projects, some of which would seek support from the proposed fund.
