南非在本财年将借款需求提高了542亿兰特（33亿美元），主要用于资助一项国内债券回购计划，以缓解赎回压力。
Africa lifted its borrowing requirement in the current fiscal year by 54.2 billion rand ($3.3 billion), mainly to finance a domestic bond buyback program designed to smooth out redemptions.
根据周三在开普敦发布的中期预算审查报告，财政部预计到2027年3月的总借款额将达到4342亿兰特。
The National Treasury estimated total borrowing at 434.2 billion rand in the year through March 2027, according to its medium-term budget review released in Cape Town on Wednesday.
这一数字高于2月份预测的380亿兰特，但低于2025-26年度的5512亿兰特。
That compares with 380 billion rand projected in February, but is a decline from the 551.2 billion rand raised in 2025-26.
财政部表示，该债券回购计划将在本财年实施，有助于‘在中期内减少高额赎回压力’。
The bond buyback program is to be implemented in the current fiscal year and will help “to reduce elevated redemptions over the medium term,” the Treasury said.
一位财政部官员告诉记者，具体哪些到期债券和发行批次将被回购将取决于市场状况。
A Treasury official told reporters market conditions would determine which maturities and issues were targeted for repurchase.
增加的借款主要用于国内赎回，其中110亿兰特将用于减少现金余额，以部分满足总借款需求。财政部补充称，中期的赎回总额平均为2500亿兰特。
The largest share of the increase will be for domestic redemptions, it said, with cash balances being reduced by 11 billion rand to partially finance the gross borrowing requirement. Redemptions would average 250 billion rand over the medium term, the Treasury added.
为履行外币承诺，政府将在中期内筹集约155亿美元（每年约50亿美元），并动用其外汇储备。
To meet foreign-currency commitments, the government will raise about $15.5 billion over the medium term, or roughly $5 billion a year, and draw down on its foreign exchange balances.
南非在本财年已从多边开发银行筹集了36亿美元，其中20亿美元已到位。
South Africa has already raised $3.6 billion from multilateral development banks in the current fiscal year of which $2 billion has been disbursed, it said.
财政部总干事邓肯·彼得斯表示，在政府转向欧洲债券市场之前，将优先考虑优惠融资。
Treasury Director-General Duncan Pieterse said concessional financing would be prioritized before the government turned to the eurobond market.
