This Policy Digest distils insights from the four Economy is Care dialogues to confront a central question: whose economy is it, and who does it serve? Drawing together reflections on GDP, debt, taxation, and monetary policy, it considers how South Africa’s economic architecture could evolve to advance both collective wellbeing and financial stability. By examining who sets economic priorities and how power is held within institutions such as the National Treasury and the South African Reserve Bank, the Digest underscores the need to realign governance with social and ecological care, an economy built not only to grow, but to serve.
