African market reform continues
African capital markets follow the Emerging World
Presentation by Des Mahony to the ASEA conference in Accra 27-29 October 2007
Africa is emerging
Africa is emerging
and is set to become an
important global player
•
According to the IMF emerging economies are typically:
– countries with low to middle per capita income
Africa is the last frontier
in emerging markets
– that have undertaken economic development and reform
programs and
– have begun to "emerge" as significant players in the global
economy
Africa is growing and saving

FDI doubled from 1990 to 2000,
and has more than doubled in
the last five years
FDI and GDP for Africa – excluding South Africa and African oil exporting countries
1990
Oil exporting countries
excluded as these distort FDI
flow numbers, but the largest
economies therefore not
included
Economic and financial sector reform need to be aligned
The financial sector oils the
economy
Savings can be put to good
work
•
African economies are improving
– driven by increasingly better educated Africans
– who increasingly demand improving political and economic systems
•
The financial sector provides the link between high savings and high investment
rates
– the financial sector has to keep up with the rapidly changing economies
– provide mechanisms for efficiently allocating capital
•
Banks are changing the way they do business
– less reliance on lending to governments
– focusing on longer term funding to facilitate mortgages
– moving into the lower (microfinance) sectors
•
Markets have changed enormously but reform must continue
– Investors need improving markets
– Companies need access to capital

Recent strong market growth in
Asian disguises the trend in
Africa, where market cap is only
60% of GDP

“Investable” African universe (ex SA) - market cap by sector
Liquidity more important than
size: “investable” universe
assumes $30 000 trade per day
Banks and Financial Services
Building and Construction
Telecommunications and IT
>75% of market cap in four
sectors
The size of the primary sector in
Africa explains much of this,
but...
…the next stage of market
development must promote
broadening and deepening of
equity markets
The likely economic growth will
come from Utilities, Consumer,
Tourism, Industrial…
…markets will need to include
these sectors to assist and
capture this growth

African investable universe (ex SA) – market cap by country
On our liquidity criteria, only 11
of 17 markets (ex SA) ‘qualify’
as investable
…with 89% of the market cap in
three countries
In terms of capital market
reform, these three (and SA)
must take a leading role

Bond markets
Bond markets in Africa have
been held back by macroeconomic instability
But this is a thing of the past,
and the outlook for currencies
and inflation is favourable for
debt issuance
Will the emergence of
infrastructure funds replace the
need for debt issuance?
•
Bonds issued in 12 countries…
…of which 8 have credit agency ratings
•
Total issuance $36bn…
…of which $28bn is by governments
•
Weighted average time to maturity is 4.2 years
•
Bond markets need to reform in parallel to equity markets
Bond markets need
Deepening of bond markets
largely a function of national
treasuries
•
More trading - secondary markets important
•
More country and company ratings
•
More corporate bonds
•
Longer maturities
•
Tap issues
•
Fixed rate coupons
Regulatory reform will also help
The elimination of cost based
treatment of bonds in the
pension industry
Investor and equity market requirements
Market reforms will need to
address these
•
Local and Global capital can be harnessed by efficient markets
•
Investors want to see:
– certainty - of owning and selling stock
– market liquidity
– depth and breadth of securities and reflection of the economy
– more and new products (derivatives)
– fair and equal treatment
– ease of trading
– low cost of trading
•
Listed companies want to see:
– ease of raising capital
– efficient pricing
– tax breaks for being listed
– low costs associated with listing
How do we achieve this?
Market players who take reform
seriously and follow through
will be the winners

Tax breaks to encourage more and varied listings
Encourage listings that reflect the economic mix
Lower trading and settlement costs

More and varied products e.g. derivatives
Dematerialisation
Electronic trading
Information availability – both company and trading
Fair and equal treatment of all investors
Separate brokers from market oversight
Certainty and transparency around new primary issues
Ease of stock placements
Pension industry reform
