The Public Debt Management Office (PDMO) is expected to play a bigger role in the management of the country’s runaway debt under proposed amendments to the Public Finance Management Act No. 18 of 2012.

In the new Treasury proposals to amend the Public Finance Management (Amendment) Bill, 2023, the PDMO is set to earn additional powers including providing advisory on sustainable debt levels.
