Tracking Trade: Creative Industries
EU/SA Trade Dialogue Baseline Research
What are we trying to do?
To grow the export potential of South Africa’s creative industries through promoting:• Better data now and in the future• Better policy, legislation and regulation• Better practice• Better networksUnderpinned by consideration of the ways in which these efforts might inform and be informed by a wider continental context and agenda
Overview of project
• Research component– Commissioned research on data and policy (Kaiser
and Associates/KEA European Cultural Affairs)– Case studies
• Dialogue component– Industry Seminars– Conference (ACT/UJ partnership)– Industry/Government Workshops
• Cultural Trade Working Group
Purpose of the Presentation
• To get industry perspectives on research data and general findings
• To get a richer picture of what is happening at a sub-sectoral level ref trade, regulation, policy and support measures
• To get input on recommendations for change/development in this area
Research objectives
• Understanding approaches to data collection in SA and EU
• Gathering available data on CCI trade between SA and EU/rest of the world
• Understanding policy, legislation and programming supporting and regulating South African CCI trade, and SA/EU trade relationship
• International benchmarking and recommendations across all of the above
Data collection
• Quality of data a perennial issue for SA CCI and government policy
• Project involved analysis of data from SARS (Creative Goods) and Eurostat data (Creative Services)
• And comparison with industry level surveys and anecdotal evidence from engagement with individual companies
• Produces indicative ‘big picture’ that requires refinement• dti has introduced web-based portal for tracking data in
particular sectors, including CCI
Data Issues/Qualifiers
• Creative Goods: – Payments related to movement of physical goods– Derived from Customs and Excise/SARS via
UNCTADSTAT and COMTRADE– dti has introduced web-based portal for tracking
data in particular sectors, including CCI
Data Issues/Qualifiers
• Creative Services: – Payments related to (intangible) services– Internationally, derived from balance of payments,
through central reserve banks– SA Reserve Bank does not presently release this
data (dti in process of engaging bank)– Therefore reliant on data from trade partners– Hence data in report only reflects EU-SA data– Excl IP, for which global figures are available
What does the data tell us?
