Global Economic Context - 2009
•
Sub-prime mortgage crisis in US and fall of Lehman Brothers triggered Global Financial
Crisis which engulfed globe.
•
While impacts were uneven across countries and regions, practically all countries
experienced:
– Fall in business and consumer confidence,
– Fall in investment rates,
– Fall in international trade,
– Fall in GDP, and
– Rising unemployment.
•
New dimensions to the crisis have emerged and necessitated new measures.
•
Some effects of the Crisis and the resulting ‘Great Recession’ are still visible and the
rapid v-shaped recovery which many analysts predicted has been elusive.

Priority Intervention 1: Industrialisation
IPAP Context and Underlying Principles
•
The IPAP is aligned with the vision of the NDP and the growth drivers of the NGP. IPAP seeks to
restructure the economy and reverse the threat of deindustrialisation, placing it on a more valueadding, labour-intensive and environmentally sustainable growth path, especially in globally
competitive, non-traditional tradable goods & services.
•
This is premised on the principle that the manufacturing sector has the highest economic and
employment multipliers and is the principal driver of innovation and technology with multiple spill over
effects.
•
IPAP seeks to build systematic, employment-creating linkages to the other primary productive and
service sectors of the economy; with a focus on historically disadvantaged people and regions of SA.
In so doing to contribute towards industrial development in Africa, focussed on infrastructure,
productive capacity and regional integration.
•
IPAP is predicated on the state supporting, nurturing and defending these objectives where it seeks to
assert state leadership by ‘steering but not rowing.’ Thus IPAP identifies a complex range of
complementary, interlocking policies that require alignment, and in some cases subordination to
industrial policy, such as aspects of macro policy, trade policy, dfi financing and so forth.
•
It is increasingly predicated on stronger developmental conditionalities and reciprocal obligations from
beneficiaries of state support in areas such as competitiveness and exports; employment retention
and creation and investment.
6
Context and Underlying Principles
•
Successive iterations of IPAP set out Transversal & Sector Programmes and Action Plans with timebound milestones and lead and supporting responsibility of departments and instiutions. Methodology
proven to be an important tool for planning, management, monitoring & evaluation, oversight;
stakeholder engagement and intra-government integration and co-ordination.
•
Predicated on sound research, intensive stakeholder engagement; identification of market failures;
self discovery and learning by doing with the design of appropriate measures to address these.
•
Demonstrable progress and results illustrate that industrial policy has and can work if it based on
these principles and is adequately resourced – auto’s; clothing and textiles; business process
services and film being good examples. Progress achieved in the face of extremely unfavourable
domestic and global economic conditions.
•
Progress achievements and new platforms created establish a foundation upon which industrial policy
can be deepened and extended to achieve much wider industrial and economic development
objectives under the incoming administration. These include for example procurement; industrial
financing; incentives; and trade measures.

Industrial Development Challenges
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Protracted recession and decreased demand for SA exports in SA’s traditional export
markets in the US and Euro Zone. Difficulties associated with changing export paradigm.
Weakened domestic demand as the credit-fueled boom of 2005-2007 continues to prove
unsustainable.
Financial market failure: requiring a more strategically focused set of investment
instruments and incentives across all DFIs and Departments.
Monopolistic pricing of privately-owned key intermediate inputs into the manufacturing
sector.
Continuing currency volatility.
Sharply escalating and ‘bunched up’ administered prices - most notably double-digit
electricity municipal price increases,
Weaknesses in intra-governmental coordination
Possible negative consequences for productive economy if environmental regulations are
not calibrated and phased-in to allow necessary breathing space for manufacturers to
reach full compliance
Continuing high port charges and freight and logistics inefficiencies for export of valueadded goods
Continuing skills deficits and mismatches across the economy – an especially critical
problem for the new growth sectors
Continuing labour relations volatility
18
Opportunities
•
•
Local procurement and supplier development:
–
Experience gained and platforms built in Designations; Competitive Supplier Development
Programmes of SOC create platform for intensive scaling up. NT/DPE and DTI Task Team Full
Review of Procurement regime create possibility of step change localisation across government
and agencies which must include building strategic supplier development capacity in large
procuring entities.
–
Significant unrealised and important opportunities to deepen localisation and supplier
development in the private sector – retail; mining and construction; ICT etc – with very significant
benefits for local manufacture
Beneficiation
–
Strengthening and deepening industrial development will need to rest in great measure on
securing concessional access to mineral feedstocks as a source of competitive advantage and
value adding beneficiation as a competitive advantage for domestic manufacturing sector
–
Necessity to ensure SA’s resource endowment which constitutes single biggest opportunity for
competitive advantage; key consideration is required alignment with amendments to Mineral
Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA) to secure developmental prices.
19
Opportunities
•
Focussed and Conditional Support: Work to measure; assess; align and strengthen incentives
and industrial financing across government departments and agencies increasingly stronger
conditionalities with sharper focus on exports to better counter the negative balance on the trade
account and promote competetiveness in key sectors where SA enjoys global competetive advatages
such as Mining and Transport Capital Equipment.
•
Infrastructure development: Make good use of the massively scaled up infrastructure investment
programmes being driven under the PICC as a powerful stimulus to industrialisation. This will provide
both a challenge and an enormous opportunity for the localisation of a wide range of manufactured
inputs into the infrastructure build – especially in construction, metals, capital and rail transport
equipment and renewable energy - provided that the required institutional architecture and localisation
programmes can be fully secured.
•
Natural and Shale Gas: The discovery of extensive natural gas fields in Eastern and Southern Africa
and of very large indicative deposits of shale gas in South Africa brings with it the possibility of a major
shift in SA’s existing energy mix, with the potential to lower the cost of energy for the production
sectors, driving significant upstream opportunities across a range of sectors and enhancing
downstream beneficiation.
20
Opportunities
•
•
Regional industrial integration and new export markets
–
Sustained & concerted regional growth is arguably the biggest stimulus to long-term
growth in South Africa. In the short to medium term regional integration offers
continuous opportunities for SA to grow its exports base.
–
A number of ongoing and scaled-up interventions are in the pipeline. These include:
planning cross-border infrastructure, effective articulation of up- and down-stream
linkages in resource exploitation; and the realisation of massive construction
opportunities
BRICS
–
South Africa’s participation in the BRICS provides important opportunities to build its
domestic manufacturing base, enhance value-added exports, promote technology
sharing, support small business development and expand trade and investment
opportunities.
–
Development of complementarities and integrated value chains should be underpinned
by an overall approach that puts industrialisation at the core of the engagement.

Trade Policy:
The major tariff policy initiatives arising from industrial policy have been to lower tariffs for formerly
protected upstream, capital-intensive industries which produce inputs that are important cost items for
downstream industries
the dti has also co-ordinated steps to crack down on under-invoicing and illegal imports as growing
evidence suggests that this has become pervasive
The global crisis has highlighted the importance of strengthening intra-regional cooperation and SA
remains committed to deepening regional integration in Sub-Saharan Africa through a Tri-partite Free
Trade Agreement with existing regional trading areas such as Comesa, the EAC and SADC. This will
create large regional markets as a base for industrialisation, mutually beneficial infrastructure
development, and regional value-chain development to build productive sectors.
During this Administration’s tenure, SA was invited to join BRICS. In 2013, SA hosted the 3rd BRICS
Trade Ministers Meeting ahead of the Fifth BRICS Summit and the department led the process of
developing the Trade and Investment Co-operation Framework that places the work programme on
trade and investment co-operation in a longer-term strategic perspective. This includes efforts to
strengthen co-operation in multilateral fora where trade and investment matters arise, notably in the
WTO, and to explore BRICS partnerships that support Africa’s development agenda. A key outcome
included the BRICS Trade and Investment Co-operation Framework.

Priority Intervention 3: Strategic Use of
Trade and Investment Instruments
• Exports:
•
Over the past five years, export sales valued at R10.124 billion was facilitated through the organisation
of 103 pavilions, 173 trade missions and 23 Investment and Trade Initiatives in six countries.
•
South Africa has gradually diversified its trade and investment strategy to place a stronger focus on
fast growing emerging markets in Africa, South-East Asia, the Middle East and South America. This
strategy has continued during the global financial crises (including the Eurozone crisis) with even more
concerted effort. Growing relations with the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) countries and the rest
of Africa hold out the possibility of new markets for South African value added products and for the
attraction of investment.
•
Exports to the BRIC countries increased by a significant average annual growth rate of 32% over the
past 10 years, of which the most radical growth happened since 2006 (average annual growth rate of
43%). China was once again the main driving force behind the persistent increase in exports, with
India playing a strong supporting role. The export composition to the BRIC countries is still in favour of
commodities, but value added products are slowly starting to become more prominent.

Priority Intervention 3: Strategic Use of
Trade and Investment Instruments
•
Africa’s growing importance has also significantly influenced South Africa’s export focus. Africa is
rapidly becoming the continent with the fastest- expanding economic region in the world. In the
2012/13 financial year: 75% of the National Pavilions that the dti is organising at International Trade
Exhibitions are in high growth emerging markets (30% of these are in Africa); 100% of Investment and
Trade Initiatives are to Africa and the BRIC countries – 33% of these are to Africa (Zimbabwe and the
Democratic Republic of Congo).

Programmes and Policies finalised
–
The Impact Assessment and Review of the Export Council Model in South Africa finalised and
approved
–
The National Exporter Development Programme launched in April 2013. The key pillars of the
NEDP are: to enhance the national export culture, launch an extensive capacity building initiative
(i.e. Global Exporter Passport Initiative), build a reliable National Trade Information System,
developing special projects to encourage the pooling of resources such as Export Villages and to
establish a National Export Forum supported by a specific charter
–
Furthermore, the dti has established an export help desk at the campus in order to enhance
access to trade information and provide export advice

Priority Intervention 4: Providing An
Appropriate Regulatory Environment For
Economic Development
•
Industrial policy requires a supportive regulatory environment to foster more competitive and dynamic
industries and businesses, and prevent harmful market domination and abuse, and the exploitation of
consumers. In recognition of the apartheid legacy of high levels of corporate and industrial monopolies
in the economy, a far more robust Competition Act that informed the establishment of the Competition
Commission and Tribunal was introduced in 1998. During this Administration’s tenure, Amendments to
strengthen the Competition Act were developed by the dti.
•
SA’s Competition Policy framework is robust by international standards, includes innovative elements
such as the inclusion of a public interest clause to protect vulnerable workers, and its institutions have
won global acclaim for the technical quality and nuance of their decisions.
•
Key pieces of legislation such as the Companies Act and Consumer Protection Act were implemented
in the last 4 years. The new Companies Act introduced a framework to facilitate the rescue of
businesses that are in financial distress to ensure that potentially viable (in the long-term) firms do not
have to close if there is an alternative. The Companies and Intellectual Property Commission has
grown in stature over the last 2 years and the time required to register a business with CIPC is
comparable to international averages.

IPAP 2014/15 -16/17 Indicative Directions
•
Regional industrial integration and new export markets
–
Sustained & concerted regional growth is arguably the biggest stimulus to long-term
growth in South Africa. In the short to medium term regional integration offers
continuous opportunities for SA to grow its exports base.
–
A number of ongoing and scaled-up interventions are in the pipeline. These include:
planning cross-border infrastructure, effective articulation of up- and down-stream
linkages in resource exploitation; and the realisation of massive construction
opportunities
•
BRICS
–
South Africa’s participation in the BRICS provides important opportunities to build its
domestic manufacturing base, enhance value-added exports, promote technology
sharing, support small business development and expand trade and investment
opportunities.
–
Development of complementarities and integrated value chains should be underpinned
by an overall approach that puts industrialisation at the core of the engagement.
49
IPAP 2014/15 -16/17 Indicative Directions
–
Strengthen transversal and sector specific interventions including with 'deep dive',
granular industry and firm level research to identify and support dynamic firms
–
Greater emphasis on focused export promotion strategy
–
Greater emphasis on science, innovation and technology; interface with DST and 'new
machine age''
–
Stronger leveraging of public procurement and securing support from private sector for
localisation
–
Scope and review of industrial financing and incentives to support this emphasis
–
Beneficiation inclusive of strategic roadmap for optimal use of large natural and shale
gas deposits in South and Southern Africa.
