South Africa’s 10-year government bond yield has eased to around 7.90%, its lowest level since March 2015, underscoring rising investor confidence ahead of the 2026 budget. Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana is due to present the budget on Wednesday, supported by robust corporate tax receipts driven by higher commodity prices, alongside stronger VAT and excise duty collections.

The budget is widely expected to be market-friendly, prioritizing fiscal consolidation, increased infrastructure investment, and stricter tax enforcement in an effort to stabilize public debt and underpin economic recovery. Early in the year, a combination of lower fuel prices, stable interest rates, and a constructive State of the Nation Address (SONA) by President Cyril Ramaphosa has improved investor sentiment and lifted expectations for stronger growth in 2026.

At the same time, renewed uncertainty in global trade has encouraged investors to diversify their holdings, channeling additional portfolio flows into emerging markets such as South Africa.
