4 South Africa compares poorly with significant African and South American players on recent growth performance and nearer term prospects.. IMF Forecast
5 THE NATIONAL CONTEXT SA growth outcomes impacted by global problems and self-inflicted domestic challenges..constraints remain in nearer term National Treasury sees recovery to 3% growth unlikely before 2017 Global factors: Weak global environment and slowdown in Europe, growth deceleration in China and Emerging Market economies with negative impact on exports and commodity prices. Oil market dynamics and price decline. Risks of capital outflows from Emerging Markets. Domestic factors: Electricity supply constraints; labour market disruptions, skills shortages, public sector administrative shortcomings, inadequate SMME development, twin deficit problem brings risks and constrains policy options. SA economic outlook - Features: Some consumer consolidation but spending growth limited by high debt levels and weak employment growth. Some support from fuel price Fixed investment supported by public sector infrastructure investment but private sector capex remains weak confidence, electricity supply. Export growth constrained by soft global demand and low commodity prices. The Rand shows nearer term resilience but vulnerable on the downside in the longer and medium term. Inflation improves on oil and commodity price drop, interest rates low for longer but watch risk to upside if BOP capital account weakens eg on EM capital flight
6 South Africa s near-term cyclical recovery prospects not good the fiscal and current account deficits remain key policy constraints.. growth forecasts adjusted down inflation outlook in past month.

World Urbanization Prospects: 2014 Revision Cities currently occupy 0.5% of the world s surface but consume 75% of resources 1. UN data illustrates rising urbanisation is a global phenomena. Resource appetites will rise and environmental protection become increasingly critical. South Africa s urbanisation rate is already c. 60% and likely to be above 70% by SA cities are already, and will increasingly, bear the brunt of social and economic challenges The urban management challenge to South Africa cities will escalate over the next 20 years as urban population is set to grow by c. 9 million to c. 43 million. Johannesburg will carry a significant share of the burden. 8 1 PWC Annual Global Review p8
9 GVA at constant 2005 prices Johannesburg is the economic hub of South Africa and the Region and a destination for work-seeking migrants.. Johannesburg hosts 8.7% of South Africa s total population Population growth 3.2% per annum over the past 10 years - double the national rate of 1.3% per annum.

22 . Johannesburg needs economic transformation in multiple dimensions to respond successfully to: Legacy social and economic challenges; opportunities and threats in a changing world; and, a continued rapid pace of urbanisation. Economic development strategy must deliver economic transformation Transformation requires engaging with the political economy i.e. The society-wide systems of power that influence patterns of production, distribution and consumption Economic transformation priorities Industrial transformation Spatial transformation Global City transformation Competitive market transformation Institutional transformation Mitigate or reverse de-industrialisation Transform Apartheid spatial patterns Strategically position South Africa in global value chains and networks Ensure South Africa generates successful small business Ensure institutions support development imperatives: State- State; State-Business and State-Community 22
23 . economic development strategy needs to address a number of intermediate target issues SOME REQUIREMENTS Positioning Johannesburg globally as a regional commercial hub for southern and eastern Africa Attracting and retaining enterprise investment in the City as a necessary condition for economic development and growth Reclaiming and revitalising low or non-revenue generating parts of the City such as vacant land, underperforming industrial land and areas of the inner city subject to decay. Promoting development of productivity enhancing sectors and City services such as ICT and transport and logistics networks, thus making the City more attractive as a business location. Developing small and medium-sized enterprises serving both the commercial sector and the City Providing economically empowering infrastructure such as ICT hotspots to poor communities with latent economic potential SOME TARGETED ISSUES Retention and consolidation of existing viable business and centres of excellence Attraction of new businesses and investment including those in the manufacturing sector Support for the development and growth of micro enterprise and small and medium-sized enterprise Achievement of a better spatial distribution of economic activity and job opportunities in the City Delivering greater inclusiveness in the economy in particular for previously disadvantaged citizens and the youth
