ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

Dear Project Professional

The BRICS is an important and strategic alliance to belong to given the role of emerging economies in advancing the restructuring of global political, economic and financial architecture into one that is more equitable, balanced and which rests on the important pillar of multilateralism.

South Africa, the newest member of the BRICS provides an important link to the African continent and strengthens our position as a gateway to Africa. The group offers an extensive lucrative market for our goods and services and significant opportunities to implement our Industrial Policy Action Plan and the New Growth Path framework. This will effectively promote trade and investment which enhances industrialisation and promotes job creation.

New areas of cooperation within the BRICS are being explored in science and technology, culture, sport, climate change and energy, finance, agriculture, statistics, justice, development finance institutions, business development and exchange as well as in academia. There is a very wide scope for cooperation in various projects within the BRICS structures.

What are the benefits of South Africa being a member of the Brazil, Russia, India, China (BRICS) group with regard to;(a) Trade,(b) Productive Investment,(c) Industrialisation,(d) Agriculture(e) Manufacturing(f) Mining(g) Rural Development(h) Value adding along the productive chain exports and(i) The priority of accelerating employment?

This is your opportunity to obtain the tools and expertise required to efficiently develop and implement your own strategy for business alignment.

I look forward to your participation.

Best regards,

Tanu MunetsiDirector: Business Development, Milla SA

Synposis

South Africa is now a member of the BRICS countries and yet so many organisations, heads of sectors and industry are yet to grasp the economic relationships that this new partnership brings.

South Africa has become a gateway to the African continent for the original BRICS economies. “We support infrastructure development in Africa and its industrialization,” said a declaration from the five countries -- China, Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa.

South Africa’s inclusion signifies an important evolution of BRICS into an alliance spanning across four continents i.e Asia, Africa, Europe and America, further enhancing its representation and voice. Africa needs $480 billion for infrastructure development over the next 10 years, which will attract the interests of the BRICS’ business communities. Already, Africa as a continent is projected as the third-fastest growing region in the world, while the BRICS now constitute the largest trading partners of Africa and the largest new investors. This economic relationship will be further strengthened as Africa forges ahead towards regional economic integration. This move will open up opportunities for more foreign direct investment and expand trade relations with BRICS countries. South Africa leads the continent in terms of mineral and industrial output, electricity generation, infrastructure, sophisticated financial markets and service industries. BRICS partners are the largest trade partners of both Africa and South Africa. This collaboration, it is predicted will further encourage inter-country trade. Intangible benefits could also be brought to South Africa by BRICS cooperation, such as economic growth strategies from Brazil, Russia, India and China.

China, today, is the world’s second largest economy. Measured by the IMF’s PPPs, India’s is now the world’s 4th largest economy; Russia’s the 6th, while Brazil’s economy is already larger than Italy’s and almost as large as the UK’s and France’s. The uneven availability of offerings in different markets may accelerate fund activity and investment in emerging markets, particularly the BRICS countries. Investment by the public sector in a comprehensive program of prioritized infrastructure opportunities can attract more private capital.

This alliance is a key step for South Africa and this recognition will hopefully be a step on a path to mutual prosperity and international economic democracy.

What are the economic values and relationships that need to be realised in the following sectors in South Africa?

Agriculture, Energy, Finance and business services, Global economic reform within the Brics, Health, Information Communication Technology, Infrastructure Development, Investment incentives, Job Creation, Manufacturing, Maximizing the Value of Private Finance in Infrastructure Development, Mining, Technology Transfer, The BRICS Economic Policy, Tourism, Transportation, Water, Wholesale and retail trade
