EconData delivers unique, ready-to-use datasets that work seamlessly in Excel, R, or Python. Its Provincial Budget submodule, for instance, gives researchers access to millions of rows of historical data to power in-depth public finance analysis. The chart below by Aidan Horn draws on this dataset to track total provincial infrastructure spending in South Africa, highlighting a sharp decline over the past five years—particularly under the expanded definition of infrastructure—and a flat outlook going forward (see here for details on the groupings).
