3 2013 ANZ insight report the view to 2030 Within an Asian Century, PNG s location and natural resources invited a re-imagining of the country s future Balanced economic development, with resources as the initial impetus, will deliver higher quality growth Our 2013 report aimed to promote a conversation on how best to achieve this: How to assist the resources sector to contribute wealth, activity and skills How to create the low cost, high priority infrastructure assets needed to underpin business opportunities in all sectors How to support the agribusiness entrepreneurs, and help create stable, widespread development 3

10 Enhanced infrastructure will underpin growth in agriculture and the economy more broadly 2 Opportunities to improve PNG infrastructure Telecoms Improvement already achieved in price and availability Catalysed by entry of private players and market reforms Benefits now extending beyond voice and data to mobile banking Roads Ports Network expansion to increase access Improve quality overall, and particularly for key highways Address substantial maintenance requirement Add capacity at key ports, including Lae, Port Moresby and Madang Reduce throughput times, to maximise use of existing capacity Lower costs Electricity Lower tariffs Improve reliability Better anticipate future demand 10

11 PNG is well located to serve Asian-centric food demand growth 3 Incremental food demand by region Teracalories/day * Includes India ** Includes China Source: FAO report World agriculture towards 2030/ Interim Report 11

12 Three imperatives to kick-start improved performance in agriculture 3 Imperatives for improved agriculture sector performance Create the scale effects needed for global competitiveness Scale drives lower costs in agribusinesses In PNG, larger scale plantations still underpin areas of high performance Improve transport infrastructure and logistics Lowers costs and sometimes creates access - for fertiliser, power, and other key inputs Creates and improve access to markets Set and achieve quality and yield targets linked to global market needs Basis of improved returns throughout value chain First step to value adding/ sustainable competitive advantage

17 Foreign exchange market temporarily under pressure Kina is a thinly traded currency and subject to supply/demand pressures Volatility in the PGK/USD FX markets prompted Regulatory action in June Onshore banks restricted to quoting 75bps either side of mid-rate. Onshore USD liquidity currently limited due to fall in commodity prices and volumes, against strong import demand. Situation will normalise once USD inflows from PNG LNG and other projects materialise. In the longer term the market will be better balanced. Sovereign Wealth Fund legislation provides the mechanism to manage currency issues

18 Net Index Balance ANZ PNG Quarterly Business Survey March 2015 Current conditions are difficult, underlying optimism remains ANZ PNG Business Survey Q ANZ PNG Business Confidence Components -31 Coincident & Lagging Short Term Outlook (up to 1 yr) Long Term Outlook (5 year) Page 18

19 Inaugural ANZ PNG Quarterly Business Survey (April 2015) Short Term Pain, Long Term Gain 1 Business/Sales Q sales declined in 63% of firms. 2 Business Costs 3 Business Outlook 4 Hiring Intentions Were higher in 43% of firms on q/q basis and 53% of firms on an annual basis. Increasingly positive with 41% of firms expecting an increase in business over Q2 2015, 56% over the next 12 months and 81% over next 5 years. Not expected to change over Q Over the next 12 months 36% of firms expect to hire additional workers compared to 21% which expect to decrease their labour force. 5 Capital Investment Is expected to increase in 47% of firms over next 12 months and 60% over next 5 years. 6 Top Risks Competition, Regulatory (Law & Order, Corruption) & Currency liquidity 7 Currency (PGK) Businesses expect this to depreciate by 3% against the USD over the next 12 months, although there is a wide dispersion of views

20 ANZ is a long term supporter of PNG and the Pacific Network ANZ has been in PNG for 105 years with the last 10 years being very active 600 staff across 15 branches with a full suite of electronic banking products Product capabilities Full range of core products across Lending, Global Markets, Payments, Trade Finance, Asset Finance, Retail Banking Project & Structured Finance and Advisory delivered via Sector specialists from Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore Corporate and Social Responsibility Financial Inclusion a key element of our social license to operate. Delivered though award winning MoneyMinded programme alongside mobile banking

21 In summary - PNG has what Asia needs PNG s long term potential is undoubted. The PNG LNG project shows that a world scale project can be completed successfully, with leading project economics ANZ s medium term view (2 years +) is positive, driven by LNG and other resource investments Infrastructure to be the key enabler to drive growth higher and broader over the medium term.
