Manufacturing Employment Conditions
Factors Explaining the Decline in Manufacturing Employment during Q2 2012
1. Increasing volumes of cheap imports, especially from China.
2. Some manufacturers importing labour intensive intermediate
components from China for local assembly to maintain competitiveness
3. Automation proving to be sustainable and very attractive as a way of
reducing labour costs
4. Mergers leading to staff redundancies
5. Company restructuring leading to the closing of non-competitive
product lines
6. The need to become more efficient in the face of dwindling profit
margins
7. The immediate reduction in the number of contract staff as new orders
from export markets plummet

2. Q2- 2012 had a more deleveraged environment compared to Q1- 2012
(58 per cent of respondents (previously 62 per cent) registered a debt to
equity ratio of up to 50 per cent in Q2- 2012
3. Sixty three per cent (previously 80 per cent) of survey participants
accessed credit at lower cost (less than JIBAR +3 per cent) in Q2 -2012
Slide # 17
Manufacturing Outlook
Short to Long-Term Manufacturing Outlook
According to survey respondents, factors that will affect
manufacturing performance in the short to long term include:
1) Elevated input costs (electricity, fuel and labour) and a relatively strong
rand ;
2) The relocation of the manufacturing of retailers’ house brands abroad
(China and India);
3) The slowdown in domestic and international demand conditions as
uncertainty and volatility in the global economic environment prevail;
4) The shift in the patterns of consumer spending in South Africa due to
high costs ;
5) The poor performance of the mining sector.

a) The Rand exchange rate

b) High input costs
2. Strong currencies eroding
competitiveness in many other
countries. For example:

due to an appreciating Yen
Structural Change in the Global Economy
1. More frequent recessions in the future than has been the case in the 25 years leading up
to the financial crisis (World Economic Forum);
2. The global economy to remain on a trajectory of major structural adjustment for a
protracted period;
3. New structural regime characterised by episodes of erratic patterns of capital flows to
Emerging Market Economies (EMEs);
4. EMEs currencies to sustain high volatility for as long as free floating exchange rate
regimes are followed;
5. Highly volatile currencies to impact on the ability of firms to design proper medium term
strategies and budgets

Extra Tool For Monetary Policy
1. The financial crisis has stimulated a new debate on the role of monetary
policy:
a) In advanced economies: Monetary policy should target asset prices
in addition to consumer prices.
b) In emerging and developing economies: Monetary policy should
target the exchange rate in addition to ensuring low inflation.
Slide # 24
Extra Tool For Monetary Policy
2. Emerging market economies have become more vulnerable to currency volatility
because:
a) They are generally not well hedged against a currency risk;
b) A strengthening of the exchange rate may result in the loss of competitiveness of
the traded goods sector and the ensuing effect could become permanent, even if
the exchange rate subsequently returns to its previous level.
3. Foreign exchange market intervention becomes a more relevant monetary policy tool for
inflation-targeting emerging market economies relative to inflation-targeting advanced
economies.
Slide # 25
Inflation and Exchange Rate Targeting
Not Mutually Exclusive
1. Policymakers should use different tools e.g. as macro-prudential
regulation, capital controls, exchange rate bands, etc. to create macrofinancial stability.
2. Following the financial crisis, delivering stable prices is not the only
credible and appropriate target for monetary policy in emerging markets.
3. Given the effects of considerable fluctuations in the exchange rate, there
is a need for two targets:
a) inflation targeting
b) exchange rate targeting
4. The SARB should specifically adopt an explicit “currency band” between
8.20 and 8.60 per US$ as a “working guide” for the conduct of monetary
and exchange rate policies.

Slide # 27
Concluding Remarks
Concluding Remarks
1. Despite a better overall performance in Q1 2012, manufacturing
production and business confidence remained weak during Q2 2012.
2. Following the financial crisis, the global economy is set to remain on a
trajectory of considerable structural adjustment partly characterised by
elevated EMEs currencies’ volatility.
3. Empirical global and national lessons since the financial crisis show that
refraining from using the broader array of available policy tools (including
exchange rate bands) would prove to be detrimental for economic activity,
job creation and growth sustainability.
