2 Inequality is the burning issue of our time When Adam Smith published the Wealth of Nations in 1776, the richest country in the world was 4 times richer than the poorest country Prior to the Industrial Revolution, inequality was prevalent within countries. After its consolidation, inequality is now primarily between nations In 2016, the USA was 191x richer per capita than Malawi! Inequality is a productivity problem Countries with the lowest GDP per capita For information, contact Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited 2

3 The Industrial Revolution It created: A larger accessible market Larger political entities A larger set of public goods: education, health, pensions, unemployment insurance, infrastructure For information, contact Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited 3

4 And caused incredibly rapid divergence in incomes For information, contact Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited 4

5 Is Africa the Next Asia? For information, contact Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited 5

6 The new development dynamics of Africa Asia s agile & small states lead the way toward economic progression & embedded development Africa s largest countries have (until now) attracted a disproportionate share of investment interest it is wrong to assume that the biggest will succeed With development must come industrialisation and its unintended political consequences Lack of inclusion wealth is unable to trickle down into broader society from narrow extractive industries The enhancement of people s lives in the developing world s is often less dependent upon the state but rather their ability to plug into supply chains For information, contact Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited 6

7 The myth of convergence Output per person in the Emerging World almost doubled between 2000 and 2010, with the average annual rate of growth over that decade being 6.9%; 3.7% higher than the rate in rich countries Despite the higher growth, base effects meant that the gap between developed and developing worlds widened GDP/capita (PPP, international $) Source: IMF/WEO April Update, For information, contact Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited 7

8 The Emerging World now needs to Work to Grow For information, contact Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited 8

9 What was the Golden Growth Decade? In 2007, all but 3 of the 183 countries monitored by the IMF grew (except Fiji, Zimbabwe and Congo); and 114 of them by more than 5% Only 50 countries had managed a growth rate of more than 5% in the previous 2 decades Private capital flow to developing countries Growth rate of private capital flow to developing countries In 1980 only 16 countries had inflation of less than 5%; by 2007, 103 countries had inflation of less than 5% Source: IMF For information, contact Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited 9

10 The Decelerating World 1/3 of previous growth rate 1/5 of previous growth rate 2/3 of previous growth rate Source: IMF For information, contact Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited 10

11 The future is divergence Since 2008, the average GDP per head in the EM world (measured in PPP) grew just 3.1% faster than average GDP per head in advanced economies over the same period In the years after the global financial crisis, the situation has worsened: growth rate gap in 2010 was 3.5%; only 1.5% in 2016 Growing at the 2010 growth gap rate, it would take 42 years for EM to reach GDP/capita levels that advanced economies have now Growing at the 2016 growth gap rate, it would take 95 years to catch up to where advanced economies are now! The great expectations of the previous decade are likely to be dashed. This will be the dominant feature of modern economic history GDP/capita growth (% change) Source: IMF/WEO April Update, For information, contact Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited 11

12 An unsustainable sector remains the priority economic model For information, contact Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited 12

13 Africa s heavy commodity dependency An overreliance on at times a single commodity and lack of manufacturing activity has seen African countries vastly affected by the commodity price downswing. Commodity exports as share of merchandise exports (%), 2016 Commodity exports account for >70% of merchandise exports in 48% of African countries Commodity exports account for >80% of merchandise exports in 33% of African countries Source: UNCTAD & Deloitte Analysis, 2017, NB: Commodity exports include all primary products (unprocessed goods) as classified by Lall (2000) For information, contact Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited 13

15 The Growth Coupling Effect - China-Africa growth trajectories No correlation in growth trends between China and SSA prior to 1996 Correlation from 2000, coinciding with China s Africa Policy Strong African growth on the back of robust resource demand from China Correlation between f is 84% Source: EIU, For information, contact Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited 15

16 Commodities exporters in EMs struggling to recover Brazil, Russia, Saudi Arabia and South Africa are set to underperform in terms of real GDP growth over the coming five years, relative to EM peers With commodity prices set to remain lower for longer, the respective economies are suffering from weak commodity revenues and a lack of investment, the latter stemming from a dearth of structural economic reforms Five-year annual real GDP growth forecasts (%), Source: BMI, For information, contact Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited 16

40 Competitiveness of Nations National Prosperity is Created, not Inherited National prosperity is created, not inherited. It does not grow out of a country s natural endowments, its labor pool, its interest rates, or its currency s value [ ] A nation s competitiveness depends on the capacity of its industry to innovate and upgrade. Companies gain advantage against the world s best competitors because of pressure and challenge. They benefit from having strong domestic rivals, aggressive home-based suppliers, and demanding local customers. Ultimately, nations succeed in particular industries because their home environment is the most forward-looking, dynamic, and challenging.
