EconData provides unique datasets in an easy to use form for use in excel, R or Python. The provincial budget submodule, for example, makes it possible to do public finance research based on millions of rows of historical data. The chart below provides a summary of total provincial infrastructure spending in South Africa using this dataset, showing that there has been a large decline in infrastructure spending over the last 5 years (especially under our expanded grouping) and it is forecasted to remain flat over the forecast period (see here for detail on the groupings). Get in touch if you are interested in a demo of EconData.
