1 Economic Development & Hydrocarbons: Old or New Challenges?
2 Macroeconomic Impacts of the Oil & Gas Industry
3 Oil production and oil dependency Some of the top oil producers are also the most oil-dependent. Countries % of GDP % of Exports Oil Production Ranking China % 1% 4 United States 1% 8% 1 Brazil 1% 9% 9 Mexico 3% 11% 1 Canada 6% 22% 5 Colombia 7% 52% 19 Norway 1% 36% 15 Iran 13% 6% 7 Nigeria 14% 81% 13 Russian Federation 17% 61% 3 Qatar 23% 37% 14 Venezuela 31% 79% 12 Saudi Arabia 38% 81% 2 Iraq 4% 98% 8 United Arab Emirates 46% 51% 6 Kuwait 52% 83% 11 Source: Unctad, IMF; EIA (data from 214)
4 Oil price volatility Oil dependency makes countries more vulnerable to swings in international oil prices. The most oil-dependent countries have seen large fluctuations in terms of trade in line with oil price movements.

5 Oil price volatility Government revenues are also vulnerable to volatile oil prices. 6. Oil Price & Government Revenue in % of GDP (% change) Oil Price Change Brazil Colombia Iraq Nigeria Russian Federation Saudi Arabia United Arab Emirates United States Venezuela, RB Source: IMF
6 Dutch disease Oil dependent countries are highly concentrated in primary rather than manufacturing goods exports. USA China Mexico 1,2 1, ,5 2, 1,5 1, Venezuela Saudi Arabia Kuwait Unit: Billion $US Primary Manufacturing Source: Unctad
7 How to avoid the pitfalls In general, the key to addressing large fluctuations in oil prices is to smooth out spending. Sovereign wealth fund: Norway Fiscal rules: Chile Hedging: Mexico
8 Sovereign wealth fund Sovereign wealth funds insulate the domestic economy from commodity price fluctuations and avoid inflation & Dutch disease. Norway s Government Pension Fund continues to grow in value, even when oil prices drop.

9 Fiscal Rules A fiscal rule imposes a constraint on fiscal policy through numerical limits on budgetary aggregates. Chile s fiscal rule reduces macroeconomic uncertainty, lowers volatility and protects social programs during cyclical downturns. % US$ Public Net Debt (% of GDP)-left axis Economic and Social Stabilization Fund Balance (% of GDP)-left axis Copper Prices-right axis Note: Public Net Debt is public sector liabilities minus public sector assets. -2.

11 Local and Microeconomic Impacts of the Oil & Gas Industry

This improves incomes for producing regions, but may lead to higher inequality Hydrocarbon Production and GDP Share by Region Pando Chuquisaca Potosi Oruro Tarija Cochabamba La Paz Santa Cruz Beni GDP Share (%) Poverty Ratio and GDP Share by region Pando Beni Potosi Chuquisaca Oruro Cochabamba Tarija La Paz Santa Cruz GDP Share (%) Source: Instituto Nacional de Estadística de Bolivia, Unidad de Análisis de Políticas Sociales, and YPFB
13 Local conflicts over natural resources There are many conflicts over oil & gas as well as other extractive industries projects all over the world, leading to large investment losses.

14 Sources of local conflicts The reasons behind protests vary greatly by country. Economic demands Land rights Environmental concerns

16 Mitigating local conflicts Some measures have proved successful in improving relations with local communities and increasing the microeconomic benefits of oil industry activities. Increase Government Intermediation Expand Human Capital Improve Local Content Improve Environmental Regulation Invest in Sustainable Projects
17 Increase Government Intermediation The key to reducing conflicts appears to be proactive and sustained government-led engagement from the start of each project. Increase institutional capacity to improve dialogue with communities Clear legal processes Provide more information for communities and government officials Clarify the role of companies versus the role of the state
18 Expand Human Capital Developing local human capital & service suppliers can mitigate conflicts and enhance benefits for local communities. Mexico provides an interesting case study. Support for Human Resource Formation from Mexico's Sustainability Fund in pesos (Jan 213-Jun 214) Ocean Energy Innovation Center Bioenergy Innovation Center Energy Sustainability Innovation Labs Non-Fossil Fuel Technology Demands Mexican Postdoctoral Projects in Sustainable Science and Technology Projects for Border Issues Institutional Strengthening for Energy Wind Energy Innovation Center Estimated Human Resource Development Investment Total Investment Approved Solar Energy Innovation Center Geothermal Energy Innovation Center 4,, 8,, 1,2,, Source: Programa Estratégico de Formación de Recursos Humanos (PEFRHME)
19 Improve Local Content While local content requirements can be challenging, they also present an opportunity for companies to create jobs by developing local supply chains. Norway (positive example): Prioritized technology transfer to develop competitiveness of local industry suppliers Encouraged R&D partnerships through tax incentives Timing and international context were important Brazil (negative example): Onerous & complicated local content requirements were created without enough preparation for local industries to meet the standards.
20 Improve Environmental Regulation Upholding environmental standards is critical to gaining confidence of local communities. In the US, regulation for the shale industry has been a critical challenge, but a body of best practices has been established. Establish baseline of water quality before drilling starts Separate environmental regulator & licensing agency Integrity of well construction Transparency on fracking fluids Address air pollution
21 Invest in sustainable projects Investment and tax revenues should be used to promote long-term local economic development. Invest in education, research, training Energy subsidies are less efficient than direct transfers Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) can provide transparency about distribution of rents Source: International Energy Agency
