30 (6) Some Challenges for GDP/Person Growth 30

31 Key Challenges Need to grow GDP/person: This requires the building of infrastructure the improvement of education (although literacy has improved markedly in many countries Faster and easier business formation, with strong respect for private property (ILD) Improved freedoms of various types (Heritage Foundation): In some cases, the world has made fairly good progress. In others, there is substantial room for improvement Source: qqq 31

43 Why is Economic Freedom Important? With rapid population growth, rapid economic growth is needed to prevent food insecurity, food riots and things like the Arab Spring. Crises like this can degenerate into failed states, terrorism, civil war and/or mass starvation. Corruption, slow processes, unclear property rights all these things slow down economic growth. While not everyone would agree with how the Indexes above are defined, they illustrate several problems. A lack of economic freedom, freedom to rapidly form businesses, a lack of recognition of property rights, and unclear operating environments make it harder for entrepreneurs to build their small businesses up from small grey economy /1 business into bigger ones than generate jobs for others. Some of the businesses can then grow into medium and large businesses. 1/ Grey Economy - Hernando de Soto, of the Institute of Liberty & Democracy, Peru 43

47 Monthly World Crude Surplus/Deficit vs OPEC Price 47

48 Growth in Canadian Crude Oil Production Canada s monthly Crude Oil Total Net Withdrawals (roughly equivalent to production) rose sharply from 2010 onwards. With strong oil prices, & the application of frakking, we saw rising supplies. 48

49 Growth in Canadian Crude Oil Exports Much of the growth was exported to the USA, with a portion of it being delivered by rail, given the lack of pipeline capacity to carry the new supplies. 49

50 Fuel Oils and Crude Petroleum by Rail On a Crop Year basis, you can see crude by rail dipped slightly in , after surging 300% from Expanded Oil-by-Rail Expect to flat to lower. Source: Statistics Canada 50

63 Multi-Client Study North American Commodity Constraints North America s Commodity Constraints The Modal Requirements Transporting North America s Commodities in a Highly Utilized Modal Environment A Three Segment Multi-Client Study Effort: Grains, Oilseeds & Products Fertilizer (N, P & K) Coal Key Issues to be Addressed in the Study Through a combination of higher commodity flow patterns, insufficient equipment, inadequate infrastructure investment, weather and congestion, the North American transport logistics enterprise has been strained. Yet, the outlook for commodities is very strong in context of an expanding global population and higher consumption levels. However, those higher demand volumes will further strain an already congested transport system. An understanding of the scope, scale and requirements of moving expected higher volumes of North American commodities and products is needed. A premier team has launched this important study.
