C. Risks and Assumptions


Upside
 2nd LNG project valued at $4 billion starts
earlier then planned
 Higher commodity prices
 Increased mining activities
 Trust fund expenditures ahead of 2012
National Election
Downside
 Further delays in large resource projects
due to landowner compensation disputes
and land access issues
D. Other Issues and Challenges
20
Need for flexible supplementary budget
that allows for funding of rehabilitation
Historical budget revenue forecasts, 2003 – 2010, outturn-to-budget ratio
Mineral revenue
Non-mineral revenue
3
If ratio is greater than 1 then the outturn is larger
than budget target

Other Issues and Challenges





Risk of accumulating public liabilities until
resource revenues are realized
Agree SWF working group findings
Welcome decision to move new trust funds
to BPNG. Eventually should consolidate all
existing trust funds with SWF
Delay non-priority projects until after peak
construction phase of resource projects
BPNG to balance need to accumulate
foreign reserves against impact of liquidity
injection
