The KZN Infrastructure Funding Fair is a one day event that provides a platform for KZN Provincial Departments and Municipalities to pitch their approved un-funded or under-funded infrastructure projects to an audience consisting of various government and private funding institutions. The aim of this Fair is to encourage investment into provincial and municipal projects with the intention of ‘mobilising funds for the KZN Provincial Growth and Development’. Increased funding and infrastructure development in the province can have a direct impact on addressing social issues and encouraging investment into the province.

KwaZulu-Natal Investment Monitor June 2014

Fixed investment in KwaZulu-Natal is still suffering from the generally weak economic environment, but is showing tentative signs of revival in some industries. The total investment index of the latest KwaZulu-Natal investment monitor, as compiled by Economists.co.za, declined by 3.3% year-on-year. While the index has now been in decline for 14 consecutive months, the drop in June was the smallest since January. Quarter-on-quarter fixed total investment increased by 0.3% after declining for four months.

The fact that fixed capital formation in the province remains negative is not only due to weak economic fundamentals but also because of low confidence which has been hampered by prolonged industrial action and capacity constraints, as well as the recent  credit ratings downgrade.
