Launch: Economic Freedom of the World 2024 annual report

This paper advocates for deregulating labour, education, and healthcare to boost economic freedom in South Africa. Reducing regulatory burdens can energise the economy, create jobs, support SMEs, and expand individual freedoms. 

Liberty First: Freedom to Trade Internationally with Dr Morné Malan

Free trade is a cornerstone of economic growth. We propose the elimination of tariffs, subsidies, and foreign exchange controls that hinder South Africa’s participation in the global economy.

Liberty First: Size of Government with Martin van Staden

Our government must live within its means. We propose significant reductions in the public sector wage bill, a balanced budget, and a commitment to avoid unnecessary debt and taxation. 

Liberty First: Regulation with Dr Morné Malan

Regulations should facilitate, not hinder, job creation and economic activity. We propose reforms in labour laws, healthcare, and education to remove barriers to opportunity and growth.

Liberty First: Legal System & Property Rights with Martin van Staden

A robust legal system and the protection of private property are fundamental to freedom. We propose federalisation, stronger property rights, and the repeal of laws that undermine civil liberties.

Liberty First: Sound Money with David Ansara

South Africans deserve a stable currency. We advocate for greater independence of the Reserve Bank, a rules-based monetary policy, and clarity on the status of cryptocurrencies.
