Shut happens!

20

Past few weeks underscored by the debt ceiling debate,

improving economic numbers and talk of tapering

Tea Party echoing same thinking Republican moderates have

expressed for years, except at higher volume

Abhorrence of ObamaCare, loathing of government, faith in tax cuts and

free market etc.

Tactics nearly forced US default

Caused grievous harm to Republican brand – 53% of

Americans blamed Republicans versus 29% Obama

Damaged Republicans’ business leaning image

Sequester lowered growth – Grand Bargain on spending

cuts sought

Shutdown and debt ceiling protests hurt business

confidence – cost of shutdown estimated at $24bn

Tapering delay until there is clear evidence that the economic

recovery is on a sustainable path

Page 21: Sasfin Securities; Balancing the risks & global economic outlook; Nov 2013

US economy – chugging along

21

Employment rising

24 months of successive job increases

Oct job numbers well ahead of consensus

Housing recovering

New houses sold double 2011 lows

Retail spending improving

Above pre-crash levels

Trade balance shrinking

Half ‘08 highs of -$70bn

Budget deficit falling

An increased level of tax receipts and lower government spending

Oil & gas production exploding

US fastest growing producer in 2012 lifting output by 1m barrels per day to 8.9m

Lower birth rate projections, aging work force and slowing productivity

Gains likely to reduce GDP to 1.9% between 2012 and 2032 from post-war average of 3.5%

Page 25: Sasfin Securities; Balancing the risks & global economic outlook; Nov 2013

The Natural Gas Revolution

25

Fracking has allowed energy companies to dig deeper than

before unlocking unconventional oil deposits

North America has largest stores of unconventional oil

50% more than total conventional crude in the Middle East

US could overtake Saudi Arabia as the world’s largest oil

producer by 2020

Making it less dependent on oil from foreign nations whose

interests conflict with theirs

Imports are down to 40% from 60% in 2005

Crude Oil net Imports

Crude Oil net Exports

Page 26: Sasfin Securities; Balancing the risks & global economic outlook; Nov 2013

The Natural Gas Revolution

26

Fracking has produced an abundance of inexpensive natural gas

Natural gas used to power ships, trains, heavy goods vehicles and

power stations

Natural gas power stations have half the emissions of conventional

coal plants

Emissions fallen 12% since 2007 on conversions

Boom in oil and gas drilling creating jobs in states hard hit by

recession

Cheaper energy input costs attracting manufacturing back to the US

1m manufacturing jobs could be added by 2025

Plentiful oil will diminish incentives to reduce reliance on fossil fuels

BNSF carry 650k barrels

a day, soon to increase to

750k barrels a day, will

eventually reach over 1m

barrels a day

Europe’s deficit problem

Page 29: Sasfin Securities; Balancing the risks & global economic outlook; Nov 2013

Europe: signs of economic recovery are visible

29

Recovery still fragile – deflation becoming the biggest danger

Forecast growth for 2014 at 0.5%

Short of the pace needed to head off deflation & address the on-going debt crisis

Germany and France slowing but Italy and Spain performing better

Spain, Italy & Portugal also showing economic gains Spain out of recession, growing at 0.1% in Q3

EU needs to increase growth potential, enhance job creation &

boost European competitiveness

The origins of the disaster lies with excessive private borrowing

Greece got into trouble because its government spent too much and

collected too little in taxes

The bust followed a private sector binge: mortgage debt in Ireland

and Spain, corporate borrowing in Portugal and Spain

Without growth, zombie firms are unable to invest or grow

Much like those wafting through Japan in the 1990s

Euro zone blighted by private

debt even more than Govt debt

Euro zone expected to

expand by 1.2%

Page 30: Sasfin Securities; Balancing the risks & global economic outlook; Nov 2013

UK: economy accelerates to fastest growth since 2010

30

UK economy growing at its fastest rate in 6 years

Unemployment at 3 year low

Recovery beginning to take hold

2013 growth upgraded to 1.6% from 1.4%

Forecast growth 2.8% for 2014

Interest rates could begin rising sometime in 2015, once

employment falls to 7%

Unlikely that the recovery will fade significantly:

- Revival of the British housing market

- Youth unemployment falling

- Confidence returning

- Obstacles home and abroad remain

“The economy is growing

robustly as lifting uncertainty &

thawing credit conditions start

to unlock pent up demand”

Governor BOE / Chairman MPC

Japan: “Abenomics” a mix designed to jolt the economy

Japan’s economy will remain on track as the

government prepares a 5 trillion yen ($50.6bn)

stimulus package to offset the drag from a sales

tax increase scheduled for next April.

Economists expect the majority of the stimulus

package to be spent on infrastructure and tax

breaks for the corporate sector.

Electrifying a nation that had lost faith in its political class

Nikkei

Japan’s economy recovering at moderate pace

despite slowing exports

Imports likely to remain strong due to solid

domestic demand, while business sentiment is

improving

Page 33: Sasfin Securities; Balancing the risks & global economic outlook; Nov 2013

Emerging Markets continue to disappoint

33

China grows at the slowest pace in 13 years

Indian Rupee falls to record lows – rates rising to stem outflows

Brazil’s fundamentals deteriorate on incoherent economic policy

Russia down on falling energy prices and tight corporate credit

Investors continue to withdraw from emerging markets even in the

face of Fed tapering talk

China’s tectonic shift – the dawn of a new era

New regime acting more carefully, balancing growth, shifting

from a production oriented economy to one centred around

household consumption

Third Plenum:

Supported land reform, fiscal reform and judicial system

Disappointed on financial liberalisation, one-child policy & residency reform

Demand slowly recovering, expect growth around 7.5%

Structural reforms designed to improve the supply side of the

economy

Reforms would help sustain the growth of productive capacity,

improving the allocation of capital and labour

Cutting red tape and other regulatory barriers to entry would

help private firms invest in industries now dominated by state-

owned enterprises

• Home to 20% of the world’s

population

• Household consumption

accounts for 38% of GDP

(US ~70%)

• World’s largest car market,

19.3m cars sold in 2012

• Largest internet market in

the world

• Reduced the per-watt cost of

solar power from over $3

(2008) to under $1 (2011)

- 23% + 24%

Consumption expected to overtake investment as the largest contributor to GDP

Investment Consumption

42% (2010 – 2020) 41% (2010 – 2020)

34% (2020 – 2030) 51% (2020 – 2030)

Widespread labour unrest disrupting mining and manufacturing output

Falling commodity prices putting pressure on mine earnings

Rising input costs, electricity constraints, squeezing manufacturing

margins

Slowdown in household spending

Continued shift in fiscal policy to social spending from infrastructure

Corruption, poor skills, inefficiency

WEC ranks SA’s education system 146 out of 148 countries and last in Maths & Science

Hesitant domestic and foreign investor confidence

Pessimism about the long term outlook for the economy

Debt downgrade possible if deficits continue to deteriorate
