1 Analytical Chapters Regional Economic Outlook for Sub-Saharan Africa IMF, African Department May 213
2 Outline of Presentation Key theme: How to facilitate building growth momentum in a multi-speed and uncertain world by creating the policy space to address shocks and address longer-term development needs. Chapter 2: Strengthening Fiscal Policy Space Chapter 3: Issuing International Sovereign Bonds under Easy Global Financial Conditions Chapter 4: Energy Subsidy Reform in Sub-Saharan Africa
3 Chapter 2: Strengthening Fiscal Policy Space
4 Fiscal policy space: Capacity to finance larger deficits during economic slowdowns Ability to avoid a pro-cyclical fiscal policy response in a downturn, or to adopt a counter-cyclical (or neutral) fiscal policy in the event of a downturn General conclusion: while the majority of countries in the region are not burdened by their debt levels, many could find it difficult to finance larger deficits in a downturn.

5 Sub-Saharan Africa: Distribution of Total Public Debt, Mean Percent of GDP Interquartile range Median Sources: IMF, DSA database; and IMF staff calculations. Note: The "box and whiskers" plot summarizes the distribution of debt-to-gdp ratios across sub-saharan African countries. Public debt-to-gdp ratios have fallen sharply since 2. The steady decline in debt levels was halted by the onset of the global recession. International Monetary Fund, Regional Economic Outlook for sub-saharan Africa, May 213 5

Important for countries where exports and budgetary receipts are volatile. International Monetary Fund, Regional Economic Outlook for sub-saharan Africa, May
16 Near-term: Reducing domestic borrowing needs Building government deposits Longer-term: Strengthening fiscal position Domestic bond market development Can this be done? IMF country teams assessments: about two-thirds of the countries in the region have the capacity to raise revenue and for sizable consolidation by 215 International Monetary Fund, Regional Economic Outlook for sub-saharan Africa, May
17 Should focus be on fiscal buffers or longer-term development needs? Elevated public debt levels are a constraint, but most countries now have relatively modest levels of public debt. While there is no off-the-shelf answer, some general points can be made: Going into debt distress should be avoided as it is usually an exceptionally costly, and can halt development. Building strong domestic bond markets provide governments with an important additional policy option. For aid-eligible countries, obtaining exceptional support from multilateral and bilateral donors provides an important additional degree of freedom. In situations where the global outlook is cloudy, more weight needs to be given to building fiscal policy space to handle a downturn.

South Africa is not included. 2 Part of the proceeds from the bond issued in 211 was used to exchange and repurchase the bond issued in Nigeria s bond amount issued in 211 is.2 percent of GDP. 4 n the case of Seychelles in 26, the proceeds were used to clear external arrears to some multilateral and commercial creditors and to repay a collateralized loan. In the other cases, bonds were issued as exchange offers on their defaulted debts. 5 The proceeds were used to repay outstanding debt to the Paris Club International Monetary Fund, Regional Economic Outlook for sub-saharan Africa, April

24 Opportunities: Access to long-term funding for large investment projects Improve debt profile with lower debt servicing cost Can provide a benchmark for pricing corporate bonds in international markets Strengthen transparency and macro discipline Risks: Encourages excess spending, affecting efficiency of public investment expenditure Carry costs Increased vulnerabilities, e.g., FX risk. Potential repercussion for monetary and exchange rate policy International Monetary Fund, Regional Economic Outlook for sub-saharan Africa, April
25 Maintain prudent fiscal policies consistent with debt sustainability. Think in terms of an overall medium term debt strategy: e.g., lock in low interest rates with modest amortization over long maturities, while smoothing the maturity profile of the entire portfolio. Review capacity and secure appropriate technical assistance. Follow best practices to get the best possible access terms. Assess advisability of issuing a bond within the medium-term debt strategy framework If advisable: Select legal and financial advisers and lead managers Receive a sovereign rating before issuance Conduct road shows International Monetary Fund, Regional Economic Outlook for sub-saharan Africa, April
26 Chapter 4: Energy Subsidy Reform in Sub-Saharan Africa: Lessons and Implications
27 Energy subsidies are costly nearly 3 percent of GDP Direct subsidies and foregone taxes: 1.4 percent of the region s GDP in 212; Quasi-fiscal deficits of state-owned electricity companies: 1.4 percent of GDP in 29 1 : Subsidies to inefficiency! Subsidies are poorly targeted The bottom 4 percent of households receive only 2 percent of the fuel subsidy i.e., under a universal subsidy policy, the government has to spend 5 dollars in order to give 1 dollar benefit to poorer 4 of households. Similarly, electricity subsidy in SSA countries is skewed to richer households among the poorest 4 percent of households, access to electricity is below 1 percent. 27
28 Reinforce inequality, as most benefits accrue to richer households Depress growth reduce investment in the energy sector crowd-out critical public spending over-allocate resources to energy intensive sectors Exert pressure on balance of payments of energy importers Create negative externalities (for example, global warming) Selected Regions: Electricity Production, Selected Regions: Access to electricity, 29 kwh per capita 2,9 2,5 2,1 1,7 1, East Asia & pacific Latin America & Caribbean Middle East & North Africa South Asia Sub-Saharan Africa Percent of population East Asia & Pacific Latin America Middle East & North Africa South Asia Sub-Saharan Africa 28
29 1. A comprehensive reform plan (e.g., Kenya, Ghana and Uganda) clear long-term objectives assessment of the impact of reforms consultation with stakeholders promote private sector participation 2. A far-reaching communications strategy (e.g., Namibia, Ghana and Uganda) inform the public of the size of all energy subsidies and benefits of reform strengthen transparency in reporting subsidies 3. Appropriately phased and sequenced energy price increases (e.g., Namibia) Gradually raise prices to allow households and enterprises time to adjust and governments to build social safety nets sequence increases differently across products 29
30 4. Improvements in the efficiency of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to reduce their fiscal burden (e.g., Kenya and Uganda) Improve reporting on SOE costs, set performance targets and incentives, and introduce competition improve collection of energy bills 5. Targeted mitigating measures to protect the poor (e.g., Kenya, Niger, Ghana) targeted cash transfers where possible when cash transfers are not feasible, other mechanisms can be utilized as administrative capacity is developed SOE restructuring may also require targeted measures (e.g., job training) 6. Depoliticize price setting (e.g., Kenya, Namibia, Tanzania) implement automatic price mechanism (with price smoothing) establish an autonomous body to oversee price setting 3
31 Power supply increased. Post reform, average annual increase in power supply in Kenya was over 5 percent and in Uganda over 9 percent. Distributional efficiency improved. Distribution losses have steadily fallen and electricity bill collection rates improved Access to grid-supplied power expanded. After limited progress early on, the number of customers with access to grid-supplied power in Uganda increased by 4 percent during In Kenya, access increased by nearly 14 percent during Progress on reducing quasi-fiscal costs was mixed. In Kenya, the automatic price adjustment mechanism helped reduce quasi-fiscal deficit from 1.5 percent of GDP in 21 to almost zero by 29. In Uganda, notwithstanding efficiency gains, the quasi-fiscal deficit increased steadily until 211 because of higher fuel costs and lack of adjustments in power tariffs. 31
