2 Outline How to leverage resource wealth to promote growth A volatile and uncertain world A Fiscal framework for commodity exporters 1
3 Commodity exporters in the World Nonrenewable Commodity Exporters, 214 Countries with more than 2% of exports from nonrenewable commodities Other countries 17% 17% 21% 22% Share of GDP Share of Imports Share of exports Share of FDI Sources: BP Statistical Review, Institutional Investor, National authorities, Sovereign Wealth Center, Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute, and the U.S. Geological Survey. 2
4 Natural resources wealth and economic growth Opportunity to leverage resource wealth towards promoting growth and economic development But, economic performance has been weaker among resource-rich economies 1,2 1, GDP per capita in Resource-Rich countries PPP GDP per capita index (base year 197) Rest of the World Resource-Rich countries Resource Curse?

5 Booms and busts can be very costly to countries With few exceptions, most commodity exporters faced a long period of low growth after commodity prices fall in the 198s (Real GDP per capita, 197 = 1) Saudi Arabia Norway 2 7 Botswana Chile Nigeria 4 1 Ghana Venezuela 1 Iran Algeria Venezuela Peru Mali Chile 2 5 Zambia Peru Ghana 1 Mali Zambia Source: IMF staff estimates 4

The oil sector has accounted for about 2 percent of Norway s GDP since 199 Norway accumulated large financial assets as hydrocarbon reserves were extracted 7 14 Billion USD Oil GDP Non-oil GDP Billion BOE Hydrocarbon Reserves Net Financial Assets (RHS) billion USD Sources: BP statistical review of world energy; World Economic Outlook (IMF), IMF staff calculations 6
8 How to use the wealth? If consumed (spend-asyou-go), the country will get poorer as reserves are depleted; If saved, returns from those savings can finance budget beyond depletion Savings can also promote more stable fiscal path Benefits from Natural Resource Wealth (Consumption out of natural wealth under different scenarios) Years Source: authors' simulations Sources: IMF staff estimates Spend as you go Save (3%) Save (1%) Constant spending 7
9 Where to save is key Long-term financial savings (future generations; avoid Dutch disease) Precautionary motives Public Investment in Low-income Commodity Exporters (Percent of total spending) 34 The Quality of Public Investment in Low-Income Resource-Rich Economies is Low (Percent of GDP) 25 2 Invest in domestic economy. Physical infrastructure and education to promote growth. The right balance will depend on country circumstances Boom Sources: IMF staff estimates Public capital Public capital (quality adjusted) Efficiency gap 2 Source: Gupta and others (214) and authors' calculations 8
10 A Volatile and Uncertain World
11 Highly volatile and unpredictable commodity prices A Poor Record of Forecasting Oil Prices (Crude oil, U.S. dollars per barrel) Actual prices Sources: IMF staff estimates and market projections. 215 represents an estimate based on actual data for part of the year and future contracts. Note: The solid line represents actual crude oil average prices for the year. 215 represents an estimate based on actual data for part of the year and future contracts.

13 The large commodity revenue windfall experienced by resource-rich countries since 22 is being rapidly unwound 35 Commodity Fiscal Revenue Windfall (212 versus 22) 3 Commodity Fiscal Revenues Windfall (215 versus 22) Sources: IMF staff estimates 12 Angola Kuwait Saudi Arabia Oman Congo, Republic of Kazakhstan Brunei Darussalam United Arab Emirates Algeria Russia Bahrain Nigeria Gabon Bolivia Trinidad and Tobago Ecuador Suriname Zambia Niger Peru Colombia Cameroon Botswana As a percentage of 22 GDP
14 And the overall balance of resource rich countries deteriorated sharply General Government Fiscal Balance of Selected Oil Exporters (In Percent of GDP) Angola Nigeria Russia Saudi Arabia (right axis) Venezuela (right axis) Sources: IMF staff estimates 13
15 This argues for building up precautionary savings during commodity windfalls Past approaches tended to focus on limited buffers to manage volatility Conservative budget prices Reduce gross liabilities during windfalls Value-at risk approach; buffers to be depleted in few years Need larger and long-lasting buffers (due to persistence of shocks) Financial returns from stabilization savings to protect from most shocks to budget Adds a countercyclical component to fiscal policy 14
16 Windfalls allow to accumulate savings, while sustaining public expenditures Countries could have boosted expenditures and accumulate significant buffers during the 2s commodity revenue windfall 5 average expenditure yearly growth rate (23-12) Actual spending Spending with 3% savings Sources: IMF staff estimates 15

18 A Fiscal Framework
19 Resource-rich countries need to decide how to best use natural wealth under high uncertainty Colombia's Oil Wealth (Production is estimated using WEO average price for crude oil) Uncertain prices and reserves Production (USD billion, righthand side) Estimated Reserves (billion barrels) Sources: BP statistical review of world energy; Staff estimates and simulations 18
20 A comprehensive Fiscal Framework to manage volatility and uncertainty 1. Resilience of Budget Revenues Tax policies that diversify the revenue base and avoid an overdependence of government spending on the resource sector. 2. Efficiency of Spending Strengthen public investment management and expenditure policies Energy subsidy reform 3. Fiscal anchors and volatility Long-term planning; take account wealth will be depleted Stabilization buffers to de-linking expenditures from volatile resource revenues 4. Strengthen Institutions Medium-term fiscal framework; management of fiscal risks; transparency and governance in the use of resource wealth 19
21 1. Improve the resilience of budget revenues Revenue Ratios from Personal Income Tax and Goods and Service Tax are Lower in Resource-rich Countries (21-214) Resource-rich Countries Non resource-rich Countries 3,8 3,6 Efficiency of Revenue Mobilization Percent of GDP Index 1 3,4 3,2 2 1 Personal Income Tax Goods and Services Tax Trade Tax 3, resource-rich East Asia & Pacific Sub-Saharan Africa Latin America & Caribbean Europe & Central Asia Source: Fiscal Monitor 1 CPIA efficiency of revenue mobilization rating (1=low to 6=high), World Bank 2

23 Concluding remarks We are in the midst of one of the largest booms and busts faced by resource-rich countries over the last 1 years. It once again reminds us the importance of volatility and uncertainty to fiscal management. Ignoring it can have large economic costs. The magnitude of the challenges in many commodity exporting countries points to the need to give priority to adjustment. The size of fiscal buffers will determine the pace. But, countries also need to prepare for the next commodity cycle. This is the time to start strengthening fiscal frameworks to manage the large risks and promote sustainable growth. 22
24 IMF/FAD Technical Assistance FAD has provided substantial Technical Assistance (TA) to resource-rich countries. About 15% of all TA in the past 5 years went to these countries (more than 4). The largest share went to Africa. TA covers several areas, including fiscal frameworks, public investment management, tax policy, and revenue administration. The IMF has produced research and manuals to support these efforts. These include the Public Investment Management Assessment, developed jointly with the World Bank, and Pillar IV of the Fiscal Transparency Code (e.g. Peru). FAD has also developed the Fiscal Analysis of Resource Industries (FARI) model to help countries build capacity in designing and analyzing fiscal regimes for extractive industries. 23
