Transcript Slide 1

Empowerment is partly about redressing historical disadvantage, but it is also about investing in
capabilities and opening doors of opportunity for all
BUDGET VOTE NOTES
Presentation by the Deputy Minister of Economic Development
Mr. Enoch Godongwana
Cape Town, South Africa
12 April 2011
Introductory Remarks
•
Racially biased structural unemployment
•
From 1970 to 1995,
–
overall employment grew about 17.6% but 0% for Africans
•
During the same period, employment of African workers grew by zero (0%) percent.
•
Mining and Agriculture
•
Skills
•
Between 2001 and 2008 when we experienced rapid growth in employment accompanied by:
–
Rising incomes
–
Rising African employment
•
Track record of the ANC in changing the structure of the economy in a manner that is inclusive
•
This was the first pro-poor employment growth in 40 years.
•
The period between 2004 and 2007 witnessed an economic growth that was only second to that of the
1960’s.
Global Economy
• Global financial Crisis in 2008 reversed
this trend in employment
– Management of the economy more
interventionist
• Changing role of the State
– Changing economic theory and understanding
– Shift in the global balance between North and
South
• IMF Outlook
• Bric
New Growth Path
• An integrated response
• Comparative advantage as a resource
based economy
• Infrastructure
• Sectors with forward and backward
linkages
Dispelling the Myths
Two myths about the NGP:
(1) There are those who believe that the 5
million jobs target is solely going to be
created by the public sector.
– The NGP is predicated on both the state and
private sector playing a role
(2) The second myth is that of viewing the NGP
in isolation from other government
initiatives.
The NGP works together with other government
policies such as the IPAP II
Infrastructure
• Resource based economy
• Critical in leveraging our resources in infrastructure, such
as Power, Water and Logistics in general
• Assuming a 4.4% growth in the next 15 years, need to
do the following:
– Double our capacity in electricity from 43MW to 90MW
– Invest R900bn in Roads, Rail and Ports
• The Challenge is localisation of the infrastructure
• Hence the Green Economy
• IDC and Transnet working on localisation revitalising
wagon manufacturing
Economic power in the global economy
is becoming more dispersed

Historical Employment Trends
• Between 1970 and 1995
– Employment grew by 17.6%, less than the population growth rate
– Staggeringly, African employment grew by zero during this period
– Relatively slow economic growth and skills-biased technological
change
• Between 1995 and 2001
– Employment grew by 16% but this was slower than the increase in
the labour force (lab force growth was 5.2%, mainly African women)
– Faster growth, continuation of skills biased technological change
• Between 2001 and 2008
– Rapid growth in employment by 23% and rising incomes
– In fact, first signs of pro-poor job growth in 40 years
– Bifurcation phenomenon
• Both high skill and low skill jobs created, but nothing in the middle
• Between 2008 and 2010
– Jobs bloodbath, combined with large wage increases
– Biggest losers were younger, less formal, less skilled and female
workers

Infrastructure and Economic
Linkages
To transform infrastructure constraints into job creation opportunities there are three
essential elements:
(a) a proactive government that interprets and intervenes where necessary,
(b) mainstreaming the procurement strategies with the opportunity structure
offered by infrastructure programmes, and;
(c) linking infrastructure projects with domestic industrial capacity
•
Utilise infrastructure to anchor the economy’s long term growth and development.
•
Linkages between spatial economies. Without the right spatial linkages, localization will be
severely limited.
•
The import penetration that may result will weaken job creation, lead to less than
proportionate increase in economic growth and provide an insufficient expansion in the tax
base.
•
This talks to the need to support innovation and R&D activities.
Actions are required to secure supply in

In Conclusion
• South Africa and the rest of the African continent present a myriad of
business opportunities across numerous sectors of economic
activity.
• Investment activity throughout the continent experienced a
slowdown in 2009, but the outlook remains positive as recovery
gathers momentum.
• Certain challenges remain, but the South African Government is
strongly committed towards a continued improvement in the
investment environment going forward.
• The South African Government is focused on the expansion of the
industrial capacity and the rest of the African continent.
• We would like to be your investment partner !

Broad Developmental Strategy
• Accelerate labour absorbing jobs
• Sustainable and decent Jobs
• Make an impact on poverty and extreme
inequalities
• Response in the form of the NGP and
NIPF
– Value added and labour absorbing industrial
production
• Diversifying the economy
