Strategic context: Economic outlook The current State of the economy presents a major challenge that needs to be actively addressed by the State The poor performance of the global economy has exposed weaknesses in the domestic economy: Greater dependency on the commodities that are vulnerable to changes in the global economy Level of concentration in the economy that undermines new entrants Infrastructure network that is geared for commodities and not support regional integration and industrialisation Limited participation of the larger part of society which limits the vicious cycle of sustained growth 1
Strategic context: Investments in the economy Investments in the economy has remained below the National Development Plan Target The productive sectors of the economy has been worst affected with Investments in mining and manufacturing leveling off This present a major challenge for the economy and the investment driven growth approach presented by Government in the New Growth Path and National Development Plan This is requiring Government and its institutions to play a leading role in the short to the medium term 1
Strategic context: Investments in the economy In 2005 investment by the public sector amounted to just over R80 bn per annum Over a period of 10 years this has increased to R261 bn While private sector investment still represents a greater proportion of total investment in the economy: In 2013 private sector invested R412 bn but this has declined between 2014 and 2015 and falling below the R400 bn level Private sector investments still dominated by Mining and financial services Investment by Manufacturing remains weak
The spatial economy The spatial distribution of economic activities has not significantly changed since 1994 Greater portion of the RSA economy still concentrated in Gauteng in particular manufacturing and financial services Provinces such as Northern Cape and Free State have lowest contribution This distribution needs to be changed and support must be extended to these provinces
Growth by Province The collapse in the commodity prices had a devastating impact on commodity dependent provinces such as North West and being the only province experiencing a contraction in economic activities The implementation of the Government’s Renewable Energy Programme had profound impact on Northern Cape limiting the impact of the collapse in steel prices and production
Economic context: Implications on Department’s Plan The implementation of Government Plans will be more challenging SOCs will be required to invest more optimally and support the diversification of the South African economy SOCs must support recovery of other sectors of the economy New opportunities must be explored and actively pursued There must be greater coherence in the different spheres of Government
Strategic objectives: What has changed? Greater emphasis on supporting the re-industrialisation programme of Government Strengthening intergovernmental relations Greater joint planning and execution between the Department and its Portfolio of SOCs Active engagement with society to make SOC and Department more accountable to the public as part of building confidence in the State and its institutions Pursuing fewer high impact targets: Greater influence in the transformation of the economy Capacity building programmes to support other spheres of Government
