1 Fostering industrial capacity development in South Africa Jorge Maia Head: Research and Information PEGNet Conference 2012: How to make African Economic Lions: Tapping Africa s Growth and Poverty Reduction Potentials Dakar, Senegal, 6 September 2012

2 South Africa s industrial policy The National Industrial Policy Framework (NIPF) has the following core objectives : Facilitate diversification beyond the economy s current reliance on traditional commodities and nontradable services Promotion of value-addition, characterised particularly by the movement into non-traditional tradable goods and services that compete in export and local markets Ensure long-term intensification of SA s industrialisation process, movement towards knowledge economy Promote a labour-absorbing industrialisation path, with increased participation of historically disadvantaged people and marginalised regions in the industrial economy Contribute towards industrial development in Africa, with a strong emphasis on building the continent s productive capacity and promoting regional economic integration Under the NIPF, successive iterations of the Industrial Policy Action Plan (IPAP) seek to scale-up interventions over a rolling 3-year period (latest: 2012/13 to 2014/15), with a 10-year outlook on desired outcomes. 2

29 IDC s financial model Loan funding Interest repayments Capital repayments Subsidy IDC Funds Borrowings Balance sheet Mature investments Retained earnings Dividend payments Equity funding Capital growth Exits of mature investments IDC relies on borrowings, internal profitability, capital growth and exits from mature investments to maintain and expand its funding ability The balance between the corporation s developmental role and financial performance is maintained by relying on proceeds from mature equity investments (both dividends and capital growth) to cross-subsidise higher risk activities and the loan portfolio. 29
