MEC of Treasury in the Free State, Elzabe Rockman, tabled the provincial budget at a legislature sitting Gariep on Tuesday.
Rockman said the provincial economic growth rate is estimated to have contracted by 0.7 % in 2016, after growing by 0.4 % in 2015.
She said this was due to slowdown in the agriculture sector, declining commodities and low prices in the province, stagnated manufacturing and marginal growth in government and community services sectors.
