MAPUTO CORRIDOR LOGISTICS INITIATIVE<br />
The Regional Significance<br />
of Developing Mozambique’s<br />
Coal Infrastructure
This <strong>Presentation</strong><br />
• What’s s the big deal about Regional Integration?<br />
• Is Regional Integration a big deal for Mozambique?<br />
• The big deal for Mozambique’s s infrastructure<br />
capacity
What’s s the big deal about Regional<br />
Integration?<br />
Look at the African Continent:<br />
•Small national markets<br />
•Limited opportunities to create economies of<br />
scale<br />
•High production costs<br />
•Underdeveloped infrastructure<br />
•These factors combine to hinder expansion of<br />
trade within Africa and globally<br />
TW Oshikoya 2010
What’s s the big deal about Regional<br />
Integration?<br />
Advantages of Regional Approach:<br />
•Market enlargement is a stimulus for FDI –<br />
largely as a result of the reduced trade barriers<br />
and investment restrictions<br />
•The resulting competitive environment widens<br />
participation, limits monopolies, reduces<br />
production costs, encourages private sector<br />
investment<br />
TW Oshikoya 2010
What’s s the big deal about Regional<br />
Integration?<br />
Advantages of Regional Approach:<br />
•Regional integration contributes to political<br />
stability and encourages good regional<br />
governance initiatives<br />
•Reduces the risk of conflict<br />
•BUT! It requires strong commitment to the<br />
implementation of agreements<br />
TW Oshikoya 2010
Regional Integration<br />
Regional integration remains the key strategy that will enable African A<br />
governments to accelerate the transformation of their fragmented small<br />
economies, expand their markets, widen the region’s s economic space, and<br />
reap the benefits of economies of scale for production and trade, , thereby<br />
maximizing the welfare of their nations. Regional integration increases<br />
competition in global trade and improves access to foreign technology,<br />
investment, and ideas. . African leaders thus consider it an important path to<br />
broad‐based based development and a continental economic community, in<br />
accordance with the Treaty Establishing the African Economic Community<br />
munity<br />
(1991) and the Constitutive Act of the African Union (2000).<br />
IV<br />
Assessing Regional Integration in Africa<br />
UNECA October 2010
What’s s the big deal about Regional<br />
Integration?<br />
What has worked?<br />
•Infrastructure development has played a<br />
fundamental role in regional integration<br />
successes<br />
•Corridor approach<br />
‐ Transport<br />
‐ Energy<br />
‐ ICT
What’s s the big deal about Regional<br />
Integration?<br />
CAN CORRIDORS MAKE SUPPLY CHAINS WORK?<br />
•If efficient, they can have a significant impact on the<br />
competitiveness of local business and regional<br />
economies<br />
•Can provide a measure of predictability, reliability and<br />
efficiency crucial to trade and logistics supply chains,<br />
•Key to providing access to markets.<br />
•Able to address issues affecting trade in a transport<br />
corridor approach gives confidence to users and<br />
contributes to economies of scale
What’s s the big deal about Regional<br />
Integration?<br />
Maputo Corridor – Road, Rail, Border Post, Port and<br />
Terminals<br />
Corridors need<br />
good infrastructure,<br />
good systems and procedures,<br />
good information<br />
institutional mechanism to be the facilitator and interface<br />
cooperation between the public and private sector are<br />
essential to ensure sustainable success.<br />
THE MAPUTO CORRIDOR TICKS ALL THESE BOXES
Regional Integration is a big deal!<br />
Added impetus from AU, NEPAD and RECs<br />
Tripartite Free Trade Area by 2014<br />
Continental FTA by<br />
2017
Continental FTA by 2017?
SADC<br />
TRANSPORT<br />
CORRIDORS
Is Regional Integration a big deal for<br />
Mozambique?<br />
YES!<br />
Catalysts for economic growth in the region:<br />
• significant investment in infrastructure<br />
• trade facilitation improvements<br />
• creating access to markets, been a catalyst for<br />
economic growth in the region<br />
•Buoyancy of the local economies and growth in real<br />
estate values on the corridor are evidence of the<br />
dynamic economic environment in which <strong>MCLI</strong> has<br />
played a crucial role in facilitating corridor growth
ROAD<br />

RAIL – Rehabilitation of the Ressano<br />
Garcia/Maputo Railway Line<br />
92kms rehabilitation completed end 2008<br />
Good cooperation between TFR, SR, CFM

• The big deal for Mozambique’s s infrastructure capacity<br />
•Port Master plan envisages a further capital investment in the<br />
port of USD $1,2 billion in the next 20 years ‐ $300m since 2003<br />
•Concession extended to 2033 – confidence in the Port’s s growth<br />
•Increased throughput from current 12 mt to 48 mt<br />
•Channel dredging programme completed to 12m to<br />
accommodate Panamax size vessels. On‐going to accommodate<br />
post Panamax vessels
Is Regional Integration a big deal for<br />
Mozambique?<br />
• Ports are only as effective as their landside logistics<br />
• Landside logistics on the Maputo Corridor are<br />
increasingly competitive<br />
• Growth in trade and volumes through the Port of<br />
Maputo from 3 million tons in 2003 to 14/16 million<br />
tons in 2012 is indicative
Is Regional Integration a big deal for<br />
Mozambique?<br />
• Transit trade potential into the SADC region is<br />
enormous<br />
(Population of 272 million growing at current 1.7% will reach 3503<br />
million<br />
by 2027)<br />
• Legal environment is conducive to growing this area<br />
of trade<br />
• Potential cost reduction due to increased backhaul<br />
cargo<br />
• Maturing corridor management institution<br />
• Deepening research capacity of the organisation
Is Regional Integration a big deal for<br />
Mozambique?<br />
Efficiencies and Improvements in Trade<br />
Facilitation<br />
• SARS Customs Modernisation – Increases Electronic<br />
Interface and speed of document clearance<br />
• Mozambique Customs Piloting SEW in Port of Maputo with<br />
rollout to other ports of entry imminent<br />
• Amendments to Transit Customs legislation in Mozambique<br />
currently being finalised<br />
KEY INTERVENTIONS FOR TRADE FACILITATION ON THE<br />
MDC
The big deal for Mozambique’s<br />
infrastructure capacity<br />
CHALLENGES<br />
•Demand has overtaken supply in rail and port services<br />
•Rail is behind demand because of backlog in capital<br />
investment and resource challenges<br />
•Rail partners CFM, TFR improved the capacity from 15 trains<br />
per week in 2007 to 46 trains per week in 2012<br />
•TFR rail pricing strategy on the Maputo Corridor is<br />
problematic<br />
•Port Masterplan investment is on‐going and is addressing<br />
infrastructure, human resources and equipment demands
The big deal for Mozambique’s<br />
infrastructure capacity<br />
CHALLENGES<br />
•Since the Heads of State agreement on a One Stop Border<br />
Post in 2007, the<br />
MAPUTO CORRIDOR STILL DOES NOT<br />
HAVE A<br />
24 HOUR ONE STOP BORDER POST
Intra African Trade – What is needed?<br />
MORE THAN ANYTHING A LONG TERM VISION AND<br />
STRATEGY<br />
A shift in the mind‐set of politicians who tend to favour<br />
sovereign issues over regional priorities and who tend to plan<br />
according to election cycles. This is out of alignment with the<br />
long‐term view required to drive a slow process such as<br />
regional integration and to develop crucial infrastructure that<br />
often requires planning to be done on a 10‐ to 20‐year scale.<br />
