The Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) has been allocated approximately R350.5 million for the 2010/11 financial year. This confirms National Treasury's statement that much of the infrastructure funding will not come from the fiscus. This is a huge decrease from the R3.9 billion the Department was allocated in the previous financial year. The budget allocation for the Department is mainly for administration and shareholder management of the various SOE's. Consequently, there are no major transfers to State-owned enterprises and only two SOEs are to be funded from this budget namely, the Infrastructure Company (Infraco, R138 million) and Alexkor (R36 million). The operational budget of the Department remains within the baseline over the period, which is linked to the business plans of the units.
