Medium-term Outlook:Structural Challenges

• Significant global economic uncertainty around resolution of economic crises in EU and US and geopolitical risks

• Protracted recession and decreased demand for exports, particularly in SA’s traditional markets in the US and Euro Zone

• Slow and difficult process of re-orienting exports to higher growth developing regions and countries

• Currency volatility and overvaluation, which promotes capital intensity and a skills bias

• Monopolistic / oligopolistic pricing of intermediate inputs• Large increases in electricity, rail and other tariffs• Inadequate provision of suitable long-term financing instruments for

industry• Inadequate progress with skills development programmes for

priority sectors• Slowdown and backlogs in infrastructure expenditure• Significant subsidies, trade measures and other distortions within

global trade

• Opportunities to regain domestic market share in areas such as clothing, textiles, leather and footwear and agro-processing

• Opportunities to grow manufacturing exports on the rest of the African continent linked to mining, infrastructure, construction and a rapidly growing middle class

• Export opportunities to fast-growing developing countries such as high growth net food importing countries
