“It was good to launch the economy in the '50s. Japan did this; China did this; even South Korea did this. All the East Asians did this - import substitution. I think all countries followed import substitution in the '50s and in the '60s, but I think by the '70s, countries were getting out of that first phase of the strategy.” ThinkingFirstsCountryEconomyStrategySouthChinaEastJapanPhasesKoreaImportsSubstitutionSouth Korea Author:Jairam Ramesh

“The export of oil, the export of minerals, will for many decades continue to be a critical part for the growth of African economies. The emphasis is on diversification. We have for many years - not just in South Africa but in many parts of the continent - spoken about beneficiation.

You may have to look at mechanisms like tax concessions... You will not have to worry about beneficiation if it makes commercial sense.” IfsThinkingYearsLooksMayGrowthSecretWorryEconomyTaxesRelationSouthCriticalOilDecadesAttractiveMechanismContinentsSouth AfricaLook At MeEmphasisProfitablePrivate SectorMineralsConcessionsDiversification Author:Patrice Motsepe
