We view such a sub-9% slowdown as essential for the future structural integrity and sustainability of s economic success For, and beyond: as the picture for the global environment becomes clearer; and as grapples with the challenge of having to meet its pressing social and developmental objectives while growing at a rate of GDP growth of only around 8. by, well below the 9.%-.% GDP growth rate of the past years, s challenges will mount Despite these difficult challenges s broad transformation is expected to continue and will present an environment that is characterised by a long term and sustained shift towards a middle income economy. This trend appears firmly entrenched, representing a profoundly different new global landscape This will see a further increase in s share of global GDP having risen from 6.% of world output in 6 to a resource hungry 9.% in Looking ahead it looks inevitable that will become a USD trillion economy, making up % of global output within years.

6 Implications and Future Trends Recommendations Implications and Future Trends Slower economic growth does not mean no growth Its all about strategic policy choices Beijing gets this 3 Moderating commodity demand (moving towards sustainability) Exceptions will occur 6 Balance of risks shifting Increased volatility Chinese outbound investment will continue Description will reengineer itself towards a more moderate growth phase with a different set of drivers. Commodity demand remains solid Rates of growth in resource demand during the super-cycle -8 were unsustainable. Chinese policy makers allow a moderation in GDP growth looking for sustainability Commodity demand in will be moderate but remains the single biggest global engine of resource demand and will be that for a long time to come There will be some (individual commodity) exceptions to high growth commodity demand. It is necessary not to generalise about potential but to understand the detailed supply/demand of each individual commodity The one-way supply/price risk for buyers in a seller s market has now begun to shift towards two-way risk where buyers and sellers will share risk Volatility could increase as the market grapples with the reality that not be a one-way bet. Markets will adapt to the reality of more moderate but more sustainable demand s outbound capital will continue to hit the headlines. Overseas investment is moving beyond trade facilitation and natural resources What it means for Moderate GDP growth and sustainable demand for commodities will remain the global engine for resource demand Understand the variability, volatility and exceptions Increasing s outbound investment in the region The The 3 Recommendations Ramp up strategic and Asia market intelligence Strategic marketing becomes a key differentiator for miners 3 Look into opportunities from offshoring Explore partnering with Chinese outbound investors Engage with sourcing now! Description Increase the level of (granular) strategic intelligence on s economy, industries and market potential (by sub-region/commodity) and that of other high growth Asian markets. Become very astute at strategic marketing to, and other high growth markets. Dealing with brokers will no longer suffice. Look into opportunities resulting from offshoring by basic material producers in (i.e. steel mills will develop mills internationally, closer to resources). Explore opportunities to partner with Chinese firms, whether it be on a project in Latin America, Asia or Africa Chinese firms are demanding expertise from foreign players Companies without global procurement strategies, will lose competitiveness over time. Integrating into a CAPEX project or the MRO supply chain has its challenges but the benefits are real Fully tap into s growth story by being the preferred resource supply chain partner to raw materials consumers in AND by not becoming too reliant on by positioning itself as a resource supply chain partner to other large consumers i.e. What it means for n companies Need of strategic intelligence on New competitors, partners and suppliers Strategic marketing to Partnerships beyond resources 6 procurement Tap into fully; but do strategy not neglect other emerging consumers The The 3 Final Word There are new markets that matter a new competitive landscape is unfolding.,, Asia and Latin America to be central in this reconfiguration. A Closer Look at /Asia Resource Consumption. s Outbound Investment. Final Word This new world brings about key trends, new realities and strategic issues all actors are now (re)interpreting this future to understand the drivers of ) broad trends and ) exceptions get close, be informed and strategic This implies the need for a new strategic approach ignoring Asia/ (and, Indonesia et al), Latin America and Africa is no longer possible or wise Must see Asia for its full potential: Sell into new, unfamiliar high-growth markets Seek capital and partners Find new areas for growth and project development Access new technology and talent Anticipate the rise of new global competitors Appreciate the outward-looking stance of Asian players new global leaders are emerging in Asia and they will act in global markets Complexity and change means that resources industry to be just another competitive industry asset ownership and production growth not enough; exemplary use of information, strategic intelligence and strategic end-user marketing to play a crucial role in shaping competitive advantage and mitigating risk The The 3 The The 33 THANK YOU!
