2. IPAP 2: Key pillar of the New Growth Path 2
3. 3 IPAP2: Requires comprehensive and integrated action 1. Macro-economic policies which support more competitive and stable real exchange and interest rates
2. Industrial financing channelled to more labour-intensive and value-adding sectors
3. Leveraging procurement to raise domestic production and employment in a range of sectors
4. Developmental trade policies such as tariffs and standards deployed in a selective and strategic manner
5. Competition and regulation policies: competitive input costs for productive investments and affordable goods and services for poor and working-class households
6. Skills, technology and innovation policies better aligned to sectoral priorities
7. Deploying these policies in general and in relation to more ambitious sector strategies, as set out in detailed Cross-cutting and Sector KAPs
4. 4 IPAP2: Sectors Cluster 1: Qualitatively new areas of focus
Metals fabrication, capital and transport equipment sectors: leverage Capex programme, rebuild and position as future exporters
Green and energy saving industries: solar water heating, concentrated solar power, wind power, energy efficiency
Agro-processing linked to food security and food pricing imperatives
Cluster 2: Scale up / broaden interventions in existing IPAP sectors
Automotives, Components, Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles: raise economies of scale and localisation of components
Downstream Mineral Beneficiation: based on establishing minimum beneficiation levels
Plastics, Pharmaceuticals and Chemicals: focused on plastics and value-adding pharmaceuticals
Clothing, Textiles, Footwear, Leather: recapture domestic market share through competitiveness upgrading and tackling illegal imports
5. 5 IPAP2: Sectors Cluster 2: Scale up / broaden interventions in existing IPAP sectors
Biofuels: establish regulatory framework and support agricultural and refining investment
Forestry, Paper & Pulp, Furniture: unblock water licences and promote further processing
Strengthening linkages between Cultural Industries and Tourism
Business Process Services: broaden and deepen SAs product offerings
Cluster 3: Sectors to develop long-term advanced capabilities
Nuclear: leveraging local production and technology transfer
Advanced Materials: feeding into new growth industries such as aerospace, solar and nuclear
Aerospace: strengthening integration into supply chains
6. 6 Key progress: Cross-cutting highlights Public procurement and SOE supplier development
Agreement by NT, EDD and DTI senior officials and processing through Nedlac of amendments to PPPFA Regulations to designate sectors for local production and alignment with B-BBEE codes. Awaits promulgation by NT.
DTI developed sector designation methodology and is compiling necessary research to designate a range of sectors
First phase of mobilisation within SOEs to introduce localisation and supplier development into the procurement process. SOEs introducing new policies, processes, systems and capacity building to embed supplier procurement leverage more systematically
- 72% by value of R4,2 billion ARV tender awarded to SA manufacturers with significant price reductions relative to the 2008 ARV tender
Industrial Financing
IDC reviewed its business model and balance sheet and identified R70-100bn over the next five years for investment in NGP and IPAP sectors, dependant on economic conditions
7. 7 Key progress: Cross-cutting highlights Industrial Financing (continued)
Phase One of study to finalise proposals to identify and create long-term sources of concessional industrial financing, completed
Phase Two proposals to feed into the budget through the 2010/11 adjustment estimate process and successive budget processes
Competition
Referrals against: tyre companies; scrap merchants; chemical companies; airlines; online ticketing company; bicycle companies; construction companies
Findings against bread price collusion
Trade
ITAC has processed numerous applications for increases, rebates and reductions of duties in line with IPAP priorities
Early warning system developed by South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) identifying technical barriers to trade for exporters and distributed to exporters on a monthly basis
8. Key progress: Sectoral highlights Automotives
Automotive Investment Scheme finalised leading to investment commitments of R13bn from assemblers and component suppliers, supporting 24,000 jobs in the sector. Large increases in levels of volumes and localisation
Clothing & Textiles
- Rollout of the Clothing Textile Competitiveness Programme (CTCP) and Production Incentive (PI) with 106 and 94 companies benefiting under the CTCP and PI respectively
Business Process Services
R40 million investments made and 950 jobs created. R42 million new investment commitments approved linked to 806 jobs. 3,400 are currently being trained under the Monyetla II Programme 70% guaranteed employment by BPO consortium. 8
9. Key progress: Sectoral highlights Green Industries

SABS finalised enabling standards for: solar water heaters; wind energy turbines; energy efficient lighting, appliances and products; electric batteries and alternative fuel vehicles; co-generation of electricity and biofuels
Significant progress with development of feed in tariff (REFIT) rules
Intra-departmental South African Renewables Initiative (SARI) initiative to leverage international climate finance to supplement domestic funding sources for renewable energy production linked to domestic manufacturing
Forestry
161 water licences for 10,000 hectares issued by the Department of Water and Environmental Affairs (DWEA) which lays the basis for more rapid progress
Iron and Steel
Intra-Departmental Task Team Report on lron Ore and Steel adopted by Cabinet mandating DMR, DTI and EDD to secure developmental steel price in exchange for cost plus iron ore 9
10. Key challenges Slow recovery of global economy and key traditional export markets, in particular the US and EU
Sustained rapid growth of large developing economies such as China, India, Brazil
This implies a challenging process of trade adjustment in a context where value-added exports have gone to advanced trading partners and commodity exports to developing trading partners
Continuous appreciation of real effective exchange rate (REER) to highest levels on record in Q3 2010 in the context of massive capital inflows and a large current account deficit
South African economy still recovering domestically from the global economic crisis
Slowdown in public and private fixed investment expenditure
