Buy Sell Invest and Visit The City of Johannesburg

Conference 1-3 July 2013

Programme

Economic Output of the CityThe City of Johannesburg (CoJ) is the largest city economy in Africa and the 27 th largest in the world. With a population of only 3.8 million people the city’s economic output outranks only three economies in Africa, namely South Africa, Nigeria and Angola. The regional gross domestic product (GDP) of the province stood at R674.9 billion in 2011, expanding by 3.2%, slightly above the South African average. The largest metropolitan municipality of Gauteng province is CoJ with a regional GDP of R313 billion and thus 46.4% of the GDP of Gauteng province, or about 16.5% of the country's GDP.

Structure of the City EconomyCoJ is the leading professional and private sector hub in South Africa and the wider region, attracting young professionals from South Africa and surroundings with a focus on commerce, finance and business services. Much like other leading global cities, more than twice of the manufacturing output of the city lies in the finance and business services sector. The primary sector contributes the smallest share to city gross value added (GVA) but has strong linkages with other sectors of the economy, especially manufacturing. While today Johannesburg showcases a modern economy with sophisticated tertiary sector activities, and diversified mix of manufacturing activity, its economic foundation lies in the mining sector. It is estimated that the Johannesburg metropolitan area has produced 40% of the world's mined gold. Mining and mining services remain contributors to city GDP with major mining houses headquartered in Johannesburg, but the economy has since diversified. It serves as the leading financial centre on the African continent, making it an excellent case study for African resource-rich cities and countries that are looking to reap the benefits of their resource wealth.

The City of Johannesburg saw an increase in the unemployment rate from 22% in 2008 Q2 to reach 31.4% by Q2 2012 (PERO 2012). This comes after recording a steady decline in unemployment figures from 33% in 2005 to 25.7% in 2009. Johannesburg has the highest share of formal sector employment in South Africa – about 7-10% higher than in other metros and with three quarters of the employed population active in the formal sector

An Economic Overview of Johannesburg

Parks TauMayor of Johannesburg

Growth can no longer be taken for granted. Governments, be they state government or city governments need to be more policy agile and more coherent, more focused in their efforts of economic and commercial diplomacy.

Cities need to work harder and be more competitive in a challenging geo-economic environment. Johannesburg will focus on positioning itself as the hub for the region, with key competitor hubs like Nairobi, Lagos, Port Louis, Cape Town and aspirant hubs like Addis Ababa, Dubai, Paris and London.

The City of Johannesburg is positioning itself as a geo-economic hub for the vibrant Southern African Development Community (SADC) region with a population of 285m. Johannesburg lies at the heart of servicing and linking the economies of SADC into a cohesive economic bloc.

With the relative rise in the emerging markets, personified by the BRICS, Johannesburg will seek to position itself to the new emerging world. The City of Johannesburg welcomes all investors to its annual Investor Conference: Buy-Sell Investment Value Conference (BSIV) with the key themes leading this conference as follows:

• City Competitiveness • Drivers of Growth & Innovation • Infrastructure, Mining, Services and Manufacturing Investment Opportunities & Projects • A Regional Hub and the BRICS

The conference will provide a unique opportunity for leading South African, African and multinational companies to come together to shape and define an agenda for growth, innovation and opportunity for the City and the region.

IntroductionMayor’s Foreword: will be included here

Themes The programme focuses on the following key pillars. The sessions being held throughout the conference are grouped under each of these pillars:

City Competitiveness Drivers of Growth & Innovation Infrastructure, Mining, Services and Manufacturing Investment Opportunities & Projects A Regional Hub and the BRICS

The programme will focus on the following sectors:• Infrastructure • Services and Resources• Tourism• Manufacturing

IconsThe programme features a variety of session types designed to enhance the sharing of insights, mapping of issues and identification of solutions among peers and important stakeholders

Plenary and Panel sessions are aimed at achieving strategic insights. These sessions address global trends and themes. This takes the form of a panel discussion, which leads to an audience Q& A Session. These sessions are open to the press.

Boardroom sessions are aimed creating an intimate environment whereby critical emerging and strategic issues can be explored by leaders. It is a moderated conversation focusing on a well-defined agenda. These sessions are not open to the reporting press.

Workshop sessions are aimed at bringing together discussion leaders and participants to engage on key projects. These are facilitated group discussions that lead to structured interventions from discussion leaders and focus on a solutions driven outcome.

Workspace sessions are designed to provide the highest level of interaction and exchange for all participants. A special environment has been created to encourage collaborative and creative solutions to compelling, and often complex, issues. A facilitator, together with a professional support team, will guide participants through a variety of design-oriented tasks. The knowledge shared and solutions created in this session are then summarized in a brief report. This report and related creative output are posted on the City of Joburg Website website for future reference.

“Insight” sessions are designed to provide the highest level of interaction and exchange for all participants. An environment has been created to encourage collaborative and creative solutions to compelling, and often complex, issues. This takes form of a one on one interview with a professional or thought-leader.
