3 1. INTRODUCTION The Petroleum Holding Fund (PHF) and the Ghana Petroleum Funds (GPFs) were established by the Petroleum Revenue Management Act (2011) (Act 815) (PRMA). In accordance with PRMA Section 28(a), (b) the Bank of Ghana reports on the performance and activities of the PHF, and GPFs for the first half of 2013 ended June 30, OIL MARKET REVIEW a) World Market Review Figure 1: Spot Brent Crude Price Jan 1 June 30, 2013 Source: Bloomberg Brent crude began the first half of 2013 (H1) at US$ on January 2, Over a 1 month period prices rose and hit a high of US$ on February 12, Brent crude surged to a ninemonth high as stronger than expected trade data indicated increased fuel demand in China the world s second largest crude oil consuming country. Thereafter, brent crude prices had a free fall hitting a bottom of US$96.79 on April 17, 2013 when OPEC confirmed a 0.30% increase in its production output to 29.8 million bbl/d for Brent for the first time since mid-2012 traded below US$100/ bbl amidst a spate of economic data out of the US and China. In the first half of 2013, the ECB lowered the interest rate on main refinancing operations of the Eurosystem by 25bps to 0.50% based on regular economic and monetary analyses. The rate cut was due largely to subdued monetary and loan dynamics and weak economic sentiment extending into the spring. Later in the half year, the rate cut showed positive results with some improvement in economic sentiment data from low levels. The FOMC left interest rate unchanged for the first half of the year and its asset purchase program unchanged at US$85 billion per month. Economic recovery in the US continued at a moderate pace in spite of strong headwinds created by federal fiscal policy. The housing market contributed significantly to recent gains in economic activity. Conditions in the labour market improved modestly. The US unemployment rate stood at 7.6% in June. Inflation however remained below the FOMC s longer-run objective of 2%. Page 3
4 b) Developments in the Ghanaian Oil & Gas Sector i) Exploration Discoveries The TEN Project (Tweneboa, Enyenra, Ntomme) plan of development, submitted by Kosmos Energy Ghana was approved by the Ghana Government on May This paved the way for Tullow and its partners to proceed with the development of this field. Tullow and its partners is of the strong view that first oil delivery from this well will be in 2016 with a steady ramp up to a production rate of 80,000 bopd. The TEN project requires the drilling and completion of up to 24 development wells. These development wells will be connected through subsea infrastructure to an FPSO, moored in approximately 1,500 metres of water. Kosmos relinquished the discovery area associated with the Banda discovery on the West Cape Three Points in January Additional seismic evaluation and interpretation showed the area was not commercially viable. ii) Production In H Jubilee field production was million bbls. This was a 64% improvement over H production of million bbls. Average daily production per month increased from 58, bopd in June to 96, The first Jubilee Phase 1A production well has been brought on-stream and is producing in excess of 16,500 bopd. The rig undertook acid stimulation work on two Jubilee Phase 1 wells to further enhance production. Figures 2, 3 and 4 chart the trends in production levels. Figure 2.

9 5. PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE GHANA PETROLEUM FUNDS SECRETARIAT In the first half of 2013 FOMC maintained the pace of the bond buying program, purchasing US$40 billion mortgage-backed securities per month and US$45 billion longer term Treasury securities per month. However in his testimony to the Joint Economic Committee, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke stated that the Fed is prepared to increase or reduce the pace of its asset purchases to ensure that the stance of monetary policy remains appropriate as the outlook for the labor market or inflation changes. Thus, in considering whether a recalibration of the pace of its purchases is warranted, the FOMC will continue to assess the degree of progress made toward its objectives in light of incoming information. US Treasury yields rose across all sectors of the yield curve after these comments. The yield of the two year note grew by 6 bps to 0.36%, the ten year yield increased by 36bps to 2.48%, and the yield on the 30 year bond ended at 3.50% up 21 bps as at the end of June Volatility increased in both the equities and fixed income markets. The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index rose from on May 21 to on June 20, In spite of volatility in the markets, the time weighted return on the Ghana Petroleum Funds was percent compared to 0.13 percent net of bank charges for the second half of The return on both the Ghana Stabilisation Fund and Ghana Heritage Fund amounted to US$736, compared to US$121, for second half of Contribution by GSF was US$615, and GHF, US$168, Details are shown in figures 7 and 8. The time weighted return was percent for GSF and percent for GHF. On relative basis, the Ghana Petroleum Funds performed better by 30 percent in the first half of 2013 versus the second half of Page 9

PETROLEUM HOLDING FUND GHANA PETROLEUM FUNDS SECRETARIAT The Petroleum Holding Fund held a balance of US$411, (see Schedule 1 below) as at June 30, This amount comprised interest earned since inception amounting to US$83,138.43, US$128, representing undistributed Surface Rentals and Royalties and Mandatory balance of US$200, CONCLUSION Audit of the Ghana Petroleum Fund and the Ghana Petroleum Funds In compliance with the PRMA Section 44 (1) the Internal Audit Department of the Bank of Ghana has performed an audit on the GPFs and the PHF for the period ended December 31, 2012, and the half year ended June 30, The Auditor-General has also performed a statutory audit on the GPFs for the 2011 and 2012 financial years. During the half year ended June 30, 2013, concerns that first emerged in May of quantitative easing (QE) tapering by the Federal Reserve intensified in June and eroded confidence in US Treasuries and fixed income securities issued at a spread to US Treasuries. The Ghana Petroleum Funds did not lose capital. The value of the Ghana Stabilisation Fund increased by US$0.615 million to US$ million, and the Ghana Heritage Fund increased by US$ million to US$ million. We are of the opinion that additional allocations to the Ghana Petroleum Funds will enhance returns on investment. Prepared by Ghana Petroleum Funds Secretariat, Bank of Ghana July 17, 2013 Page 12
