Prof B Turok (ANC) expressed his gratitude to the Department on such a bold, brilliant step and candid admission that certain things had gone wrong in the South African economy. The Ministry had not always agreed with the Committee on a number issues and now the Department had fully embraced the views of the Committee at the policy level. It was also truly encouraging to learn that the Department would promote non-traditional industries to stimulate the economy and elevate the role of the domestic market with less reliance on the international financing. The tooling was a foundation of industrialization and the Department should consider raising tariffs to protect infant industries. Once they mature, that could be reversed. This approach was practiced globally and it had been proven theoretically that it can work. The Department should also consider developing key performance indicators so that the Committee was able to exercise its oversight role over the policy.
