South Africa’s government is in talks with the World Bank to secure additional funding, according to people familiar with the discussions.

The state is seeking at least $800 million as it considers ways to fund the likely extension of a Covid-19 relief grant that’s scheduled to expire in March, said the people who asked not to be identified because they’re not authorized to speak to the media.

Since the onset of Covid-19, South Africa has pursued concessional loans from multilateral lenders, including the International Monetary Fund and New Development Bank, to help offset virus-induced damage. “Diversifying our sources of funding is an important mechanism to improve the sustainability of South Africa’s debt, lower the cost of funding and enhance our macro-fiscal position,” it said.
