Botswana Mining Report Q3 2013

We are positive on the outlook for Botswana's mining sector over our forecast period, to 2017. Diamond output will remain the mainstay of Botswanan mining production, boosted by new projects being planned by both Gem Diamonds and Lucara Diamond Corp.; however, key mining projects, such as Discovery Metals' Boseto project, are also being developed in the copper, uranium and coal sub-sectors.

Botswana Power Report Q3 2013

BMI View: There is little prospect of change in Botswana''s power market in the short term. With ampledomestic supplies of coal, the country has the potential to become a regional exporter of energy. However,ageing infrastructure and delays to expansion projects are holding back Botswana''s potential - MorupuleB''s capacity is subjected to continual delays, while Morupule A produces only a fraction of the electricitythat the country requires and is in need of refurbishment. That leaves Botswana dependent on expensiveelectricity imports, which are essential to power the activities of its lucrative diamond and other miningindustries.BMI forecasts that between 2013 ...

Botswana Infrastructure Report Q3 2013

BMI View: Botswana will continue to post double-digit growth in construction industry value in 2013 and 2014, driven by investment into infrastructure. While we do expect the industry growth rates to gradually slow over the forecast period, this is more due to base effects than any winding down of momentum. Demand from a booming coal mining sector, especially for expanded electricity capacity, is driving new investment into the sector. We anticipate annual average growth of 10.7% between 2013 and 2017. A comprehensive revision of all GDP data in Q1 2013 saw 2011 construction industry growth figures revised upwards, resulting in lower 2012 growth expectations due to base effects. However 14.4% y-o-...

Botswana Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare Report Q3 2013

BMI View: Government''s commitment to healthcare and growing economy will continue to be key driversthat will attract foreign pharmaceutical firms to Botswana over the long term. However, BMI maintainsthat the country needs to see significant improvements in various areas such as its healthcare deliveryservices, population''s affluence and general improvements to its living standards before the country can seemajor investments from foreign pharmaceutical firms.Headline Expenditure Projections:Pharmaceuticals: BWP1.50bn (US$200mn) in 2012 to BWP1.66bn (US$200mn) in 2013; +10.1% in localcurrency terms and +0.4% in US dollar terms.

Botswana Food and Drink Report Q3 2013

BMI View: Private consumption growth came in at an anaemic 1.1% in 2012 (just below BMI''s estimate of1.3%) and while we forecast a slight improvement in 2013 to 2.1%. That said, we expect conditions forhouseholds to remain challenging over the medium term as the impact of public sector wage cuts and highunemployment continue to take their toll. This ties into our wider view in the Food & Drink team thatBotswana is not among the region''s most attractive markets from a fundamental industry perspective forconsumer goods companies looking for strong growth opportunities in industries such as soft drinks andbeer primarily due to the small size of the population relative ...

Botswana Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare Report Q2 2013

BMI View: Growing appreciation of the value of a healthy population, combined with improvements in itseconomy, will boost investments in medical services. The healthcare system is largely government-funded,and therefore people on low incomes are able to seek medical treatment. However, communication andtransport hindrances as well as poor utilisation of existing healthcare services in rural areas means uptakeis low.

Botswana Food and Drink Report Q2 2013

BMI View: The latest data on credit extended to private households and businesses suggests that demand inBotswana remains in decent shape. Indeed, while credit growth to households slowed notably in October2012 to 1.4% month-on-month (from 3.0% in September) loans to households have remained relativelystable in recent years, and we expect this to remain the case over the coming months. There are a number ofreasons for the moderation, including base effects, unemployment levels and muted wage growth, and thishas fed through into our outlook for Botswana''s food, drink and mass grocery retail sectors. In general, wehold a less positive view towards the industry in Botsw...

Botswana Autos Report Q2 2013

BMI maintains a cautiously optimistic stance for new vehicle sales growth in Botswana, forecasting an average 7.7% year-on-year (y-o-y) growth between 2013 and 2017. This is modest considering the fact that sales of new passenger cars in Botswana grew by over 20% in 2007, 2008 and 2010. We forecast total sales of nearly 31,340 in 2012, rising to almost 42,000 by the end of our forecast period in 2017. We predict annual passenger car sales growth will average 8.6% over our five-year forecast period, with 25,608 shifted this year, rising to just over 35,400 in 2017.One development that should support increased vehicle ownership in general, is the road improvement project.

Botswana Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare Report Q1 2013

BMI View: Despite Botswana''s commitment to provide better healthcare for its population, healthcareissues continue to exist, in part due to the inefficiency of the public healthcare sector. Given the lack ofinterest from major foreign pharmaceutical and healthcare companies, it is unlikely that the gap inhealthcare provision will be filled by private healthcare firms. We continue to maintain that given therelatively small pharmaceutical and healthcare market in Botswana, we do not expect it to be ofsignificance to pharmaceutical and healthcare firms.Headline Expenditure Projections:Pharmaceuticals: BWP1.40bn (US$205mn) in 2011 to BWP1.57bn (US$242mn) in 2012; +1...

Botswana Power Report Q1 2013

BMI View: Coal continues to dominate Botswana’s electricity mix. Despite being home to some of therichest coal resources in the continent, Botswana has not yet achieved energy self-sufficiency and relieson expensive and unreliable electricity imports. There are moves to change this, however, with India’sJindal Steel & Power – the owners of CIC Energy Corporation – reviving plans for a 1,200 megawattpower station that would export electricity to South Africa. Additionally, Botswana’s President, IanKhama, has signed a bilateral agreement with South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma over coal and energyproduction. Interest in coal, diamond and copper mining is high, but unle...

Botswana Autos Report Q4 2012

Constrained economic growth prospects temper our vehicle sales forecasts in Botswana this quarter. Botswana registered a 3.2% year-on-year (y-o-y) increase in GDP in Q112 on the back of better performance in the mining sector, according to figures released by the Central Statistics Office. However, economists surveyed by Reuters have lowered their annual economic growth forecast to 4.1% from 5.2% and 5.1% from 5.4% in 2012 and 2013 respectively, while the IMF projects 3.3% growth in 2012 and 4.6% in 2013.

Botswana Mining Report Q3 2012

Diamonds To Remain Mainstay Of Mining Sector In line with the Botswanan government's plans to diversify away from diamond revenues, there has been a swathe of new mining projects announced in 2011. However, while the country's silver, gold and coal production is set to surge from its low base, BMI expects diamond output to remain the dominant facet of the country's mining production for the foreseeable future. Hana Mining has announced a 350kt ('000 tonnes) copper reserve (at a cut-off of 0.3% Cu) at its Ghanzi deposit. Discovery Metals' Boseto mine has a total JORC-compliant mineral resource for 102.8mn tonnes, at 1.4% Cu and 17.3g/t Ag, equivalent to 1.4mn tonnes of copper and 57mn oz of s...

Botswana Power Report Q3 2012

BMI View: With almost all of its domestically produced energy sourced from coal-fired power stations, Botswana has a very narrow power base – and as continued outages illustrate, it is not capable of meeting national consumption requirements. In order to raise capacity, the government plans to boost energy production from coal-fired sources with the goal of reaching self-sufficiency and reducing dependence upon unreliable, and expensive, imports from South Africa. Botswana is not the only country to suffer from shortages and in April 2012 it entered into an agreement with Namibia’s NamPower, along with Zimbabwe and Zambia, to improve and control energy consumption in these four countries. In the f...

Botswana Food and Drink Report Q2 2012

BMI View: Amid solid but unspectacular mining-led economic growth, we expect to see below trendprivate consumption growth of 5.5% in 2012 and 2013. In the five years prior to this, privateconsumption growth expanded by an annual average of 7.4%. There are a number of reasons for themoderation: base effects, unemployment levels and muted wage growth among them, and this has fedthrough into our outlook for Botswana's food, drink and mass grocery retail sectors.

Botswana Autos Report Q1 2012

Botswana's domestic new vehicle market, like many in the region, is a small fraction of the country's total car fleet, as used cars dominate the landscape. Although the used car segment is still popular in many African markets, sales of new passenger cars in Botswana grew by over 20% in 2007, 2008 and 2010. BMI believes that this level of growth may be difficult to achieve again in 2011 and beyond for a number of reasons. Firstly, our Africa team expects real GDP growth to slip from 7.2% in 2010 to 4.8% in 2011. This is a downward revision from the previous forecast of 5.1% and is largely based on a drop in household consumption, which we believe will feed into the purchase of high-end goods such ...
