The National Treasury is expected to pile into the domestic debt market to plug the budget deficit over the medium term, deeming the strategy the most suitable in managing borrowing costs.

The ministry’s 2026 Draft Medium Term Debt Strategy expects 82 percent of gross borrowing needs to be met from the domestic market, with only a partial 18 percent of funding coming from external sources.
