Presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Trade and Industry – the dti’s 2009/10 Annual Report Date : 2 November 2010 Director-General Mr Tshediso Matona 1 Presentation Outline Economic Context Strategic Objectives Achievements against planned targets Industrial Development Trade, Investment & Exports Broadening Participation Regulation Administration & Co-ordination Financial Management Challenges 2 Economic Context In the reporting period, 2009/10, the overarching focus and thrust of the dti’s work has been to take decisive actions to address some of the binding constraints that are impeding the economy’s growth and employment potential, and its diversification and value-adding capacity. Specifically, the dti finalised the next phase of the Industrial Policy Implementation Plan (IPAP 2). Although the economy’s positive growth rate reached a post-1994 peak of 5% pa in the period 2004/07 (see figure 1), this did not significantly reduce unemployment which never fell below 22.8%. This growth has been driven mainly by international commodity price increases; credit-induced consumption; and therefore not sufficiently underpinned by growth of the production sectors of the economy, was an indication of a deep-seated structural problem facing our economy. The economy’s growth went into reverse during 2008/09 due to the global recession, reaching a low of 1.8% in 2009. However, the economy quickly recovered in 2009/10, recording a rate of 3.2% in the fourth quarter of 2009 and 4.6% and 3.2% in the first and second quarters of 2010, respectively. 3 Economic Context Data received from Stats SA, dti graph 4 Economic Context This recovery was led by the primary sector although the secondary sector also showed solid performance, growing by 7%, a decline from 8.1% in the last quarter of 2009, and led by manufacturing with 8.4% growth in the first quarter of 2010. (Source: Reserve Bank Quarterly Bulletin, June 2010) 5 Economic Context Manufacturing performance Key sub sectors driving the manufacturing sector include the manufacturing of motor vehicles, components and other transport equipment driven by firmer domestic and foreign demand. Also showing some improvement were other tradable goods such as chemical products and basic metals and steel. International Trade performance Export volumes declined by 3.3% in the first quarter of 2010 and that can be attributed to weaker macro-economic conditions in certain European countries as well as the strength of the rand which impeded the competitiveness of the South African products in the international markets. 6 Economic Context The most negatively affected sectors included Machinery and Electrical equipment; Agricultural products and Transport equipment destined for Europe. The decline further exacerbated the pressure on the balance of payments. The current account showed a deficit of R12.9 bn in the first quarter of 2010, a deterioration from a surplus of R24.9 bn in the last quarter of 2009. 7 Economic Context Investment performance Real gross fixed capital formation increased marginally at an annualized growth rate of 0.2% in the first quarter of 2010 following three consecutive declines of 2.5% in the second quarter, 6.5% in the third and 0.9% in the fourth quarter of 2009, respectively. This growth was a result of investment by public corporations while investment by private business enterprises declined by 0.7% preceded by 4 consecutive declines in 2009. Employment performance Formal non-agricultural employment declined by 3% in 2009, after increasing by 1.8% and 2.9% in 2008 and 2009 respectively. For the private sector the decline was even higher at 4.8% in 2009, although there was a 1.2% increase in the last quarter. This decline was mitigated by an increase of 3.7% in public sector employment for the same period. 8 Economic Context Major job loses in 2009 were in: manufacturing sector losing 87 000 jobs construction losing 38 000 jobs; non-gold mining losing 22 500; trade, catering and accommodation losing 66 900; finance and insurance losing 90 200.
