G20 Finance Track Meeting Commences Today

The Finance Track four-day meetings of the G20 will start in Cape Town today.

The meetings will take place after the unprecedented postponement of the tabling of the budget to March 12.

The postponement has raised concerns over the stability of the Government of National Unity GNU.

Some economists say it could hurt South Africa's image at this crucial time of hosting the G20 Finance Ministers and their central bank governors.

Others say the Cabinets failure to agree on a budget could cast doubts on the countrys ability to manage its finances.
