  35. Funding Overview Macro Economy Policy Sources of Funding Enablers & Conclusions Increased private sector participation in infrastructure development will reduce strain on fiscus, requiring close cooperation with local and international investors Funding requirement Funding sources • Traditional SA based funding sources will be insufficient to meet the requirements • In the absence of structural reforms, we estimate an aggregate funding and significant funds will need to be sourced internationally requirement of c.R3.4tr over three years: • In the wake of credit downgrades, there has been significant divestment of local • R2.4tr by the public sector, including local government and SOEs bonds and equities by foreign investors, thus reducing funding availability in the • An estimated requirement of c.R1tr by the private sector local financial services industry to fund the recovery The public sector funding requirement could reduce significantly if SA will be competing for capital against all other emerging markets private capital is invested in privately owned infrastructure Funding enablers • Fiscal discipline: Reduce public sector debt burden, funding costs and currency volatility • Optimise private sector investment in network infrastructure where SOEs currently have monopolies: The private sector can play a significant role in funding and operating of network infrastructure, including electricity, rail and ports • Infrastructure investment: Attract private investment in network infrastructure development by providing investors with an appropriate risk adjusted return • Regulatory certainty: Investment in fixed capital is directly correlated with regulatory certainty • Private and public sector coordination: Maximise the private sector’s participation in infrastructure development by leveraging existing project pipeline and DFI funding commitments (IDC & DBSA in particular) • A consolidation of state owned DFIs could reduce pressure on the fiscus if consolidated capital could alleviate Land Bank requirements • Stability of financial markets: Prudent deployment of local funds to avoid contagion on the listed equity and bond markets and the value of investments • Investment product design: Whilst direct investment in infrastructure projects is appropriate for certain long term portfolios, additional liquidity can be mobilised for investment in marketable securities • Financial services regulation : Continually review capital and liquidity requirement relaxation, broaden scope of allowance for guarantees to banks by retirement savings beyond housing and allow for pension backed loans by retirement funds. ASISA is currently engaging with NT, SARS and the FSCA in this regard • Commitment to environmental and social transformation: ESG investment is a key ingredient in asset allocation globally. ESG commitments could attract funding and / or funding support from institutions and DFIs Paradigm shift required to address obstacles to investment over the last decade that resulted in slow growth, cost leakage and increasing debt 42
