SLOWDOWN IN GROWTH - ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Decline in mineral commodity prices from 2012 peak levels:
- Platinum: ↓32%
- Gold: ↓30%
- Iron-ore: ↓55%
- Coal: ↓37%.
Over production capacity in manufacturing. Steel surplus is case in point. Monetary policy stimulus may have to run its course. Patchy outcomes: US successful, EU and Japan are still to be determined. Developed countries dug deep into “policy toolkit” – even negative interest rates. South Africa, on the other hand, is managing a serious drought, has an uptick in inflation and increases in interest rates. Consumer and business confidence remain frail.

GLOBAL GROWTH CHALLENGES
International Monetary Fund (IMF) has repeatedly revised down its global growth forecast for 2016 – 3.4%…3.2%...3.1%. Latest IMF growth forecasts for 2016:
- US – 2.2%
- China – 6.6%
- Japan – 0.3%
- India – 7.4%
- Mexico – 2.5%
- Brazil – (-) 3.3%
- Nigeria – (-) 1.8%
- SA – 0.1%.

Manufacturing sector continues to cushion the economy against a possible recession GDP contracted by 1.2% in Q1 of the Calendar Year. In Q1 of the Financial Year, GDP grew by a robust 3.3%. Although SA has avoided a recession, the expansion is still weaker than the recovery after the Global Financial Crisis.

GDP rebounded strongly in Quarter 2 of 2016 after having contracted by 1.2% (q-on-q) in Quarter 1. Quarter 2 (q-on-q) GDP grew by a robust 3.3%, underpinned by:
- Manufacturing grew at a strong rate of 8%.
- Mining also grew strongly – at 11% having
contracted by 18% in the previous quarter.
- Financial Services grew at 2.9%.
- Construction has stagnated (0.05% growth).
- Rate of contraction of Agriculture has
slowed.
- Effects of the drought are still being felt,
although worst might now be over.

Business confidence improving as per the PMI indicator The Barclay’s Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) showed a positive outlook in 1Q2016 albeit marginal, increasing by 0.4 index points. Business Confidence Index (BCI) shows a marginal decrease of 0.2 index points in 1Q2016. Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) dropped sharply in the last quarter of 2015.

BUSINESS CONFIDENCE
Between the onset of the GFC in Q4 2008 and Q3 2010, 1.1 million jobs were lost.
— Manufacturing disproportionately affected with 283,000 jobs lost (25% of total jobs lost) while Manufacturing = 14% of total employment. — Took 3 years for employment to recover to pre-GFC levels (Q3 2013).
Implementing the 9PP and reducing unemployment:
— Means a greater focus on labour intensive employment sectors such as agriculture — Scale of intervention is not sufficient alone and requires private sector partnerships to support the 9PP .

ABERDARE CABLES UNVEILS NEW RAIL SECTOR PRODUCTION LINE Solely focused on locally manufactured cables for PRASA and Transnet Aberdare Cables, a Powertech company within the JSE- listed Altron Group, today launched a new production line within its existing plant in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal in July 2015. The line, supported by the dti designation programme, is specifically designed to manufacture locomotive cables for the Passenger Rail Agency of SA (PRASA) and Transnet. Currently, South Africa has one of the largest wholesale renewal and general overhaul rail programmes in Africa, and serves as a strong manufacturing hub for rolling stock. Keith Edmond, CEO, Aberdare Cables. “We are committed to partnering with all stakeholders, public and private, to ensure that South Africa remains self- sufficient in the manufacturing of electrical cables essential to the maintenance, development and expansion of critical transport infrastructures.”

Southey Holdings and Nautic Africa have invested R289.9 million and R63.4 million respectively under the Section 12I Tax Incentive Scheme. It is expected that about 355 direct jobs will be created. Southern African Shipyards is currently in a process of building seven tugboats as part of the tender of R1.4 billion awarded by the TNPA in 2014 creating approximately 200 additional jobs. More than 60 apprentice artisans as well as three marine engineers were being trained. More than R700 million has been earmarked for the supplier development plan entered into between Southern African Shipyards and Transnet’s local suppliers, employees and graduates. Vee Craft (now acquired by Nautic Africa) was awarded a tender worth nearly R23 million to build workboat ferries for the South African Navy.

The production of the next generation BMW X3 at Plant Rosslyn will replace the BMW 3 Series Sedan, which will now be allocated to other plants within the global BMW production network. “This investment is testament to the important partnership that exists between business and government and the role that business is playing in the development of the economy…” said Minister Davies.
Minister of Trade and Industry, Dr Rob Davies and the Managing Director of BMW Group South Africa Managing, Mr Tim Abbott shaking hands as Rosslyn BMW Plant Director Mr Stefan Huelsenberg looks on after the announcement.
Managing Director of BMW Group South Africa Managing, Mr Tim Abbott said the potential for Africa as a future market for exports as well as the current Automotive Production and Development Programme (APDP) enables South Africa to play a significant role in the manufacturing industry and production
- f high quality cars.
“ We are excited about the future prospects of Plant Rosslyn and cannot wait to start with the production of the next generation BMW X3” he added.

Davies said even though the sector still remains a challenge and export had gone down over the years, the government had put a number of measures in place e.g. (duty credit certificate schemes, tariff reduction, etc). “In order to address these challenges in the sector the dti introduced the Clothing and Textiles Competitiveness Programme which had had a big impact so far including the saving of the 69000 stable jobs. The programme has also been responsible for the introduction of the vertical cluster through the Competitive Improvement Programme (CIP). The Foschini Group was the first big retailer to embrace the dti CIP concept by forming the first vertical ordinary cluster which was formed and approved in April 2011,” said Davies. Davies added that The Foschini Fast Fashion Cluster was valued at a total cost of R32 791 604 of which R 24 593 703 was funded through the CIP whilst 8 197 901 was their contribution and the
- ther comes from the industry itself.
“Total funds allocated to the second phase was R 32 780 550 of which R 8 195 138 is the consortium contribution whilst the CIP contribution is R 24 585 412. This has shown that as a retail group, Foschini is currently leading in terms of a vertical cluster that has value chain representation,” he said Davies also said there is a fabric rebate discussion on the textile sector as a whole that will take into account all challenges that have been threatening the sector over the years.
