2 Overview Review of Broad Trade Patterns Review of Trade Arrangements Focus on SADC EPA Concluding Remarks Caveat: WTO not covered
3 SADC Trade Priorities: Imports SADC IMPORTS BY REGION, 2006 Oceania, 2.0% Other, 0.7% Americas, 10.5% Asia, 38.6% Africa, 16.0% SADC IMPORTS BY TRADE BLOC, 2006 MERCOSUR, 2.8% COMESA, 2.8% NAFTA, 7.3% SADC, 12.9% Europe, 32.1% OTHER, 45.6% EU, 28.6%
4 Asia s Share of SADC Imports Exceeds Europe 45% 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% SADC Import Shares, 2000 and % Asia Europe Africa Americas Oceania Other
5 SADC Trade Priorities: Exports SADC EXPORTS BY REGION, 2006 Rest of world, 9.3% Oceania, 1.9% Americas, 10.6% Europe, 39.4% Africa, 16.0% COMESA, 6.8% SADC EXPORTS BY TRADE BLOC, 2006 MERCOSUR, 0.7% NAFTA, 9.6% Asia, 22.6% OTHER, 40.9% SADC, 12.0% EU, 30.1%
6 Asia Rising Again, But Europe Still Dominates 45% 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% SADC Export Shares, 2000 and % Europe Asia Africa Americas Rest of world Oceania
7 Stylised Facts (1) Europe remains most important export partner (by far) South Africa dominates SADC exports to and imports from third parties (by far) Asia now most important import source (Recent shift due to China and India. Japan a long-standing important trade partner) Africa incrementally more important (i.e. increased intra- Africa trade) Americas important but declining slightly, like Europe EU biggest single trade-bloc partner Intra-SADC trade bigger than SADC-NAFTA trade, and growing
8 SADC Exports to the EU SADC exports to EU, 2006 Other, 24.1% Precious metals and stones, 31.5% Transport equipment, 6.1% Mineral products, 12.4% Machinery, 13.1% Metal products, 12.7%
9 SADC Exports to NAFTA SADC exports to NAFTA, 2006 Other, 20.9% Precious metals and stones, 34.6% Machinery, 6.8% Chemical products, 8.6% Transport equipment, 10.2% Metal Products, 18.9%
10 SADC Exports to China SADC exports to China, 2006 Machinery, 2.0% Other, 8.4% Textile products, 2.9% Chemical products, 3.7% Mineral Products, 49.4% Metal Products, 33.6%
11 SADC Exports to India SADC exports to India, 2006 Other, 24.2% Chemical products, 24.6% Vegetable products, 8.2% Machinery, 8.9% Metal Products, 20.8% Mineral Products, 13.4%
12 Stylised Facts (2) Pattern of SADC exports to all major regions/blocs similar Main broad product categories Metals (precious and base) and metal products Mineral products Chemical products Machinery Transport equipment Textiles (to China) Vegetable products (to India) Since South Africa dominates SADC s external and internal trade, these reflect mainly South Africa s export strengths Agricultural commodities relatively more important for other SADC members Niche agricultural products important for South Africa Clothing and some other light manufactures very important for certain SADC countries, such as Lesotho
13 SADC Imports from the EU SADC imports from EU, 2006 Other, 22.9% Machinery, 35.3% Metal Products, 4.5% Commodities not elsewhere specified, 9.7% Chemical products, 10.3% Transport equipment, 17.3%
14 SADC Imports from NAFTA SADC imports from NAFTA, 2006 Other, 23.6% Machinery, 36.0% Commodities not elsewhere specified, 4.0% Precision instruments, 7.9% Chemical products, 12.6% Transport equipment, 15.9%
15 SADC Imports from China SADC imports from China, 2006 Other, 25.4% Machinery, 38.0% Footwear, headgear, 6.3% Furniture, toys, 6.7% Metal Products, 7.6% Textile products, 15.9%
16 SADC Imports from India SADC imports from India, 2006 Mineral products, 24.4% Other, 30.2% Transport equipment, 13.2% Metal Products, 10.0% Machinery, 10.2% Chemical products, 12.1%
17 Intra-SADC Imports Intra-SADC imports, 2006 Mineral products, 17.6% Other, 35.5% Machinery, 15.2% Chemical products, 8.3% Transport equipment, 10.4% Metal products, 12.9%
18 Stylised Facts (3) Pattern of SADC imports from all major regions/blocs also similar Main broad product categories: Machinery Transport equipment Precision equipment Chemical products Metal products (from EU, China, India) Mineral products (from India) Light manufactures, such as furniture, toys, footwear, apparel (from China) Intra-SADC imports also dominated by machinery, transport equipment, metals, etc probably reflecting SA strengths China increasingly replacing EU and US for high tech imports, especially IT products Light manufactures from China and India causing competitive pressure in all SADC economies
19 Trade Agreements In Place (1) SADC FTA Goods only: 85% liberalisation by 2008 Full liberalisation by 2012 Asymmetric liberalisation: SACU already almost 100% open to SADC imports Services under consideration Many other relevant protocols, e.g. Finance and investment, but implementation is patchy Intra-SADC trade is relatively small
20 Does Africa Have a Basis for Formal Regional Economic Integration? Source: The Economist True extent of crossborder trade? Host of problems to confront, especially supply-side agenda and weak institutions.
21 Trade Agreements In Place (2) SA-EU Trade, Development, and Cooperation Agreement De facto inclusion of BLNS (except imports via Walvis bay) Goods coverage only Asymmetric liberalisation (EU opens faster, deeper) SA (and therefore the BLNS) will be fully open to the EU by 2012 SA/SACU EU trade is substantial, and this arrangement may be expanded
22 Preference Schemes EU: Everything but Arms (EBA) Duty-free quota-free (DFQF) access to EU market for all LDCs In SADC Angola, DRC, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia can utilise this scheme US: African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) Offers preferential access to US (NAFTA) market(s) for eligible African countries, on most products All in SADC but Zimbabwe are eligible China: Preferential access to Chinese market for LDCs Limited product coverage Not limited to African LDCs Less known about recent Indian offer except it applies to all LDCs (i.e. not just African) Literature considers AGOA more beneficial (better-designed) than EBA (especially rules of origin) Chinese offer will be of limited value, but scheme well-designed to meet African LDC export profiles
23 Trade Agreements Under Negotiation SACU-Mercosur Limited product coverage, small preferences offered by both sides Not much trade will be created Existing trade relatively small and confined to SA Political symbolism dominates SACU-India Likely to be similar to Mercosur deal A case of missed opportunities, especially in services? Existing trade dominated by SA Underpinning both is the IBSA initiative
24 The Interim EPA (1) Economic Partnership Agreements with the EU Most important current negotiation outside the WTO Highly controversial, especially in SACU The SADC EPA group contains only 7 of 14 SADC countries: SACU plus Angola, and Mozambique Other SADC member states participated in the ESA group, except Tanzania (EAC) and DRC (CEMAC)
25 The Interim EPA (2) In the SADC EPA group: Angola, Mozambique and Lesotho have EU market access secured under EBA Yet Mozambique and Lesotho (LDCs) initialled the text South Africa has TDCA with EU; this de facto includes BLNS on imports from EU, but BLNS exports to EU not covered by TDCA Thus Botswana, Namibia and Swaziland need the EPA to maintain access enjoyed under the preceding arrangement, known as the Cotonou Partnership Agreement
26 The Interim EPA (3) TDCA is comprehensive, so for SACU the goods chapter of SADC EPA not difficult to work out But there have been many complications For Mozambique and Angola (if it signs the concluded text), there will be substantial market opening to EU imports Liberalisation phased in over a long time period (in stages until 2018)
27 SACU Tariffs and SA Imports 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Other 0% 0% < t < 5% 5% <= t < 10% 10% <= t < 15% 15% <= t < 20% 20% <= t < 30% 30% <= t < 40% t >= 40% % of total lines % of total imports
28 EPA Implications At the end the EU will have the best access to SADC of all external (non-sadc) trade partners Is this wise? New generation issues highly contentious SA will need to make tough decisions Large question marks over SADC integration: Half of SADC s members are in other EPA negotiating groups What future for the mooted SADC customs union? SACU may split These ructions are matched elsewhere: COMESA deeply split CEMAC too EAC the most cohesive
29 Implications of Other Arrangements AGOA very important, but a unilateral measure What happens if Congress changes its mind? What implications does the McDermott bill (duty free quota free market access for LDCs) hold? EBA needs to be improved for LDCs, especially in rules of origin EPAs may provide an opportunity for this SADC FTA almost fully in place comprehensive, but politically sensitive, and some members have not met implementation targets (e.g. Zim) SACU-Mercosur and SACU-India lack ambition SACU-China? SACU-US?
