Eastern Cape Agriculture and Agro-processing Blended Finance scheme meant for enterprises in the
agriculture value chain.

Payments for capital assets decreased from R1.113 billion in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of
R327.801 million in 2022/23 due to decrease in funding for infrastructure development in the SEZ’s
as provided by the DTIC. In 2023/24, payments for capital assets are projected to increase by

77.3 per cent to R581.168 million mainly due to funding from the Budget Facility for Infrastructure (BFI)
for the construction of a new bulk sewer connection pipeline; the upgrading of bulk infrastructure to

accommodate the expected increase in demand; and construction of critical bulk water infrastructure
to support economic growth and enable a human settlement development. Over the 2023 MTEF,
payments for capital assets are projected to increase to R908.030 million by 2025/26.

Payments for financial assets relates to loan disbursements made by ECDC and ECRDA. Payments
for financial assets increased from R5.130 million in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of R34.073 million

2023/24, payments for financial assets are projected to decrease slightly by 3.1 per cent to R33 million.
Over the 2023 MTEF, the payments for financial assets are projected to further decrease to R4.179

million by 2025/26 financial due to a once-off allocation for SMME loan capitalization that gets re-
assessed annually.
