THE Minister of Finance and Economic Development, Professor Mthuli Ncube, yesterday assured civil servants of a bonus incentive for 2018 whose finer details would be clarified in due course in line with ongoing fiscal stabilisation measures and recognition of hard work.

Speaking on the state of the economy at the on-going 2019 Parliamentary pre-budget conference in Bulawayo, he stressed the need
to instil fiscal discipline, the lack of which has been blamed for the ballooning budget deficit in the last few years resulting in prevailing economic challenges.

In line with the Transitional Stabilisation Programme (TSP) and the drive towards an upper-middle income economy by 2030, Prof
Ncube said taming public expenditure, especially wage bill containment, was at the heart of fiscal stabilisation measures while
stimulating investment.
He, however, said civil servants will be rewarded for their hard work.State media
