Global EconomyGlobal EconomyJanuary – March 2014 (Q1 2014)

Global gross domestic product (GDP) growth slowed from an annualised quarter-on-quarter rate of 3.4% in the fourth quarter of 2013 to 2.1% in the first quarter of 2014.

This was primarily due to a 2.1% contraction of GDP in the United States (US) and slowing growth in China and the European Union (EU).

April – June 2014 (Q2 2014)

Global GDP growth likely recovered slightly in the second quarter as the US economy rebounded strongly and grew by 4% on an annualised quarter-on-quarter basis

Economic conditions in the EU worsened however with Germany surprisingly contracting

Global EconomyGlobal Economy

International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects world output growth to rebound in the second quarter of 2014 and firmer in 2015 and 2016.

The IMF further projects that imports by advanced economies will increase from 1.4% per annum in 2013 to 4.6% per annum in 2015.

Overall, the economic growth outlook remains weak with significant downside risks.

Domestic Economy Domestic Economy Real GDP grew by an annualised quarter-on-quarter rate of 0.6% in

the second quarter of 2014.

South Africa’s growth performance was led by the tertiary sector, mainly:

o Government services,

o Finance, real estate and business services, and

o Transport, storage and communication services.

The Manufacturing sector contracted by 2.1% in the second quarter of 2014 due to low production in autos, chemical products, rubber and plastics, glass and non-metallic mineral products.

The contraction in Manufacturing was primarily due to the slow pick up in the mining sector after the prolonged strike in the platinum sector.

Domestic EconomyDomestic Economy SA exports and imports to the world declined in the second quarter of

2014.

Imports declined particularly significantly leading to an improvement in SA’s trade deficit.

SA exports to Africa increased from R70.2bn to R71.9 bn resulting in a trade surplus of R39.5 bn with the continent.

SA trade with the world and BRICS were affected by poor growth in the EU and the US.

Demand for commodities and commodity prices remain relatively flat as China’s policymakers attempt to re-balance the economy.

SA trade with Africa consequently remains a priority focus for the dti.

Audit outcomes

the dti has received a financially unqualified audit opinion from the Auditor-General South Africa (AGSA) for the 2013/14 financial year,

Finding Management interventionsThe accounting officer did not take steps to prevent irregular expenditure.

These relate to transactions where three quotations could not be obtained. The following additional measures was implemented:

•Clear communication via financial circulars on the procurement requirements of transactions less than R500,000 have been implemented.•Targeted training interventions with procurement staff and divisional advisors on the department’s procurement policies and procedures and SCM legislation was implemented.•An information session on irregular expenditure was presented by National Treasury on 28 October 2013•An easy to follow guide was also distributed during December 2013 to assist staff with the procurement procedure to be followed in order to prevent irregular expenditure•Irregular expenditure transactions are analysed per Division and memoranda were issued on a quarterly basis to the relevant managers to take appropriate action against staff that permits irregular expenditure. •Based on the implemented additional controls irregular expenditure reduced from R32 966 million in 2012/13 to R6 376 million in 2013/14.

Interventions to address AGSA’s Audit Findings

49

Poorer manufacturing performance due to slow global growth and strikes in the mining industry

Industrial sectors supported by dti incentives show growth, while other sectors like plastics, steel and metal fabrication lagging

Credit fuelled consumption driven demand is running out of steam Electricity and water supply shutdowns impacted on manufacturing Sharply escalating administered prices where municipal premiums and

pricing anomalies within and in between municipalities Higher rail freight and port charges Need to build partnerships between government and business to

secure much greater progress in upstream mining supply chains and downstream beneficiation
