Introduction

• IDC was established in 1940 to spearhead the development of industrial capacity.

• As our environment changed over the decades IDC changed with it, and many times throughout our history, we were instrumental in changing our environment though industrial development.

• IDC develops industries through financial support to entrepreneurs wanting to take advantage of opportunities not readily supported by commercial funders and developing and funding projects where the perceived risks are too high for the private sector to invest on its own.

• In many instances IDC’s support for an industry will lead the way, demonstrating the viability of a sector and then commercial institutions will enter the market.

• IDC investments to develop industry are always made taking into account the ultimate impacts that these investments will have on the people.

• This presentation highlights the impact that IDC has had over the past 20 years since South Africa’s transformation to a democracy.

Value of funding approved (current prices)

Value of funding approved (constant 2013 prices)

Value of funding provided

• R128 billion (R204 billion in 2013 prices) of funding approved over the past 20 years of which R112 billion (R178 billion in 2013 prices) was for South African projects.– This represents 3.1% of gross fixed capital formation

(investment) by the private sector in SA over the period.

– Assuming that IDC provided one-third of funding for projects on average, IDC leveraged 9.4% of total private sector investment over the period.

• Sectors that received the highest portion of funding were:– Basic metals;– Mining; and– Upstream chemicals

• High levels of funding largely driven by large capital intensive nature of these industries.

Jobs saved Job creation

Job creation

• Job creation is the most important development outcomes that IDC aims to achieve.

• Impact extends beyond projects funded directly, e.g.:– Beneficiating minerals creates downstream

opportunities;– Renewable energy projects create opportunities for

components and other inputs.• Encouraging the creation of decent jobs by insisting

on compliance with labour legislation and good working conditions.

• Direct impact on job creation estimated at 360 000 over the period with 43 000 more saved. Industries creating the most jobs included:– Agriculture and agro-processing;– Mining;– Textiles and clothing.

• Indirect impact of projects supported by IDC estimated at 960 000 jobs.

Black economic empowerment

IDC Funding to Black-Empowered Companies• IDC’s approach to black-economic empowerment

changed over the years and has stressed different facets:– Transfer of ownership;– Community and workers’ empowerment;– Expansionary BEE;– Black industrialists.

• The approach was driven by several principles:– Redistribution of ownership in the economy;– Broadening the impact of empowerment;– Expansion of the economy;– Ensuring that all people are driving growth in the

economy.• More than R48 billion (R64 billion in 2013 prices)

approved for funding black empowered companies over the period.

• Successes in assisting black industrialists in:– Consumer chemicals;– Transport equipment;– ICT;– Film.

8

Regional development

• Regional development for IDC encompasses development of poorer provinces, rural areas and industrialisation in the rest of Africa.

• Successes in development of rural areas by investing in:– Tourism;– Agriculture;– Mining;– Renewable energy.

• The first decade of the last 20 years saw the Western Cape receiving the bulk of funding:– Driven by projects such as Saldanha Steel, Duferco and

Atlantis Diesel Engines. • Funding over the last 10 years benefitted less

industrialised provinces such as the Northern Cape with large mining and renewable energy investments.

SME Not SME

Small and medium enterprise development

IDC Funding to SMEs Projects• Small and medium enterprises are important for the development of an economy because they create jobs more efficiently and are sources for innovation.

• A few large conglomerates dominate the South African economy.

• Over the last 20 years, more than 70% of the number and 18% of the value of funding approvals that IDC made was for small and medium enterprises.

• Wholesale funding and franchising played an important role in IDC’s SME development in the first half of the 2000s.

• IDC’s approach to SME development also includes technical support to businesses.

• The establishment of sefa as a subsidiary of IDC will see IDC focussing more on larger interventions in the future.

10

Countercyclical funding

• The global economic crisis in 2008 and the ensuing recession resulted in many companies coming under pressure from a number of fronts:– Financial institutions were tightening credit

criteria, and extending less credit;– Lower demand for products and services from

clients as confidence declined;– Internal cash-flow pressures.

• IDC responded to the challenge by making available R6.1 billion to distressed companies while commercial funders were reducing credit extension.

• To date, 90% of this funding had been committed, impacting on 44 000 jobs.

Exports and assisting companies to globalise

• IDC has played an important role in diversifying and growing South Africa’s export basket.– Industries that contributed to this included the mining industry, especially the platinum industry, basic metals, motor

vehicles, table grapes and other fruit.

• Over the years, IDC had made available several special schemes that aimed at bolstering exports:– During the mid to late 1990s, these included the LIFE (Low Interest for Exports) scheme and the ORCHARDS scheme.

During the mid 2000s, another scheme at developing orchards, the Pro-Orchards Scheme was established.

• Apart from assisting local companies to enhance exports, IDC also provides an export finance product to provide finance to companies in the rest of Africa for the purchase of South African goods and services.

• Africa provides a huge opportunity for South African companies to expand their market and production capacity. Some examples of IDC investments include: – Poultry in Namibia;

– Cement in Ethiopia;

– Management of the agricultural component of a bioethanol project in Sierra Leone.

IDC achievements in the sector:

Nurturing infant industries e.g. medical technology and bio-technology• Several start-ups that are commercialising uniquely South African

technologies in these industries supported.

Creating a South African venture capital industry• Initial funding to set up venture capital funds and later directly

providing early-stage venture capital led the way for the establishment of the industry in South Africa.

“VC activity remained fairly stagnant with the introduction of one or two new funds between 2000 and 2003. The most notable was the HBD Fund 1 linked to South Africa’s own internet billionaire

Mark Shuttleworth as well as a number of funds backed by the IDC as part of a

strategy to stimulate the local VC sector. These include Horizon Private Equity,

Argil VentureCapital and Bioventures.”

Looking ahead

• IDC will continue to support government’s industrial policy and development aspirations through on-the-ground implementation.

• IDC continues to explore new ways to lead industrial capacity development to ensure delivery on its mandate.

• In the immediate future IDC is seeking to ramp up its impact with the current resources at its disposal focusing on more effective deployment of its assets to develop industries and create jobs.
