1 CONSTRAINTS TO SUSTAINED AND INCLUSIVE GROWTH IN SRI LANKA! An Initial Diagnosis and Key Topics for Discussion! Ricardo Hausmann! Colombo, Sri Lanka! 7 January 2016!
2 Sri Lanka has seen strong economic growth over the long-term!
3 Growth that has become exceptional with the onset! of peace!
4 And this growth has been matched by progress across broader measures of well-being! 0.8" 0.7" 0.6" 0.5" 0.4" 0.3" 0.2" Human&Development&Index&(HDI)&for&South&Asian&Countries& 1990" 2000" 2010" 2014" 0.1" 0" Sri"Lanka" Maldives" India" Bhutan" India" Nepal" Pakistan" Afghanistan" High"human"development" Medium"human"development" Low"human"development" Source: UNDP Human Development Report 2015
5 What are some of the challenges ahead? Is growth constrained by exports and the balance of payments? Are government revenues too low? Is structural transformahon a challenge? Is urbanizahon too low? How challenging will it be to make growth inclusive of the different regions and sectors?
6 Is growth constrained by exports and the balance of payments?
7 But growth is limited by the Balance of Payments! Deficit in goods and services Growth in GDP per capita Year
8 Hitting the constraint shows up in the exchange rate! 150# Daily$Exchange$Rate$(Sri$Lankan$Rupee$to$U.S.$Dollar),$2010$A$2015$ 145# 140# 135# LKR$/$USD$ 130# 125# 120# 115# 110# 105# 100# 2010# 2011# 2012# 2013# 2014# 2015# Data source: Wiki Exchange Rates
9 External debt is already pretty high as a share of exports and primary income (including remittances)! Difference from expected value = +119 percentage points
10 Are government finances too weak?
11 Sri Lanka s government revenues are significantly lower than other middle-income countries! Government revenues as a share of GDP LKA Actual 12% Expected 25% Gap 13% Source: World Development Indicators Log of GDP per capita
12 Public savings are negative, the deficit is substantial! Source: IMF Country Report No. 15/335 (December 2015)!
13 Sri Lanka s fiscal deficit currently exceeds its level of public investment! 8.0# 7.0# 6.0# Select&Economic&Indicators&for&Sri&Lanka& Percent#of#GDP# 5.0# 4.0# 3.0# 2.0# 1.0# 0.0# 2012# 2013# 2014# 2015# 2016# 2017# 2018# 2019# 2020# Es/mate# Government#investment# Projec/ons# Central#government#deficit# Data source: IMF Country Report No. 15/335 (December 2015)!
14 Is structural transformahon a challenge?
15 Currently, the share of GDP from agriculture is what would be expected based on Sri Lanka s level of income!
16 But employment in agriculture remains well above what would be expected, implying low productivity! Difference from expected value = percentage points
17 Productivity in agriculture in very low compared with industry and services! RelaHve produchvity of industry to agriculture Data source: World Development Indicators RelaHve produchvity of services to agriculture
18 Sri Lanka s exports are focused in garments, tea and rubber products! Exports, 2014
19 This has been the case for a long time! Exports, 1995 Exports, 2014
20 Sri Lanka s export basket has changed little! since mid-1990s! Sri Lanka,! !
21 We can compare its current export basket to the trajectory of export diversification in other countries! Sri Lanka, ! Tea Clothing
22 Thailand s export basket in 1991 was similar to Sri Lanka s now, but then it changed a lot! Thailand, 1991! Sri Lanka, ! Tea Clothing
23 Thailand s exports in 1962
24 Thailand s exports in 2010
25
26 Turkey s export basket in 1994 was similar to Sri Lanka s now, and then it changed! Turkey, 1994! Sri Lanka, ! Tea Clothing
27 Costa Rica in 1996 was similar to Sri Lanka today, but then it changed! Costa Rica,! 1996! Sri Lanka, ! Tea Clothing
28 In Sri Lanka, many exports are under competitive pressure from lower income countries! Exports, 2014
29 Tea: Low income competitors! Global Share of Tea Exports (Net) in 2014 GDP per capita (USD) in ,000" 7,000" 6,000" 5,000" 4,000" 3,000" 2,000" 1,000" 0" Sri"Lanka" China" Kenya" India" Data source: World Development Indicators
30 This is also the case for many garment exports, like women s undergarments! Exports, 2014
31 Women s Undergarments: Low income competitors!! Global Share of Women s Undergarments Exports (Net) in 2014 GDP per capita (USD) in ,000" 7,000" 6,000" 5,000" 4,000" 3,000" 2,000" 1,000" 0" China" India" Bangladesh" Sri"Lanka" Cambodia" Vietnam" Data source: World Development Indicators
32 Meanwhile, rubber products show a different trend! Exports, 2014
33 Retreaded Tires: Middle and high income competitors! Global Share of Retreaded Tires Exports (Net) in ,000" GDP per capita (USD) in ,000" 40,000" 35,000" 30,000" 25,000" 20,000" 15,000" 10,000" 5,000" 0" Sri"Lanka" China" Japan" Brazil" Thailand" Belgium" Data source: World Development Indicators
34 Richer countries get more from tourism revenue per capita! Difference from expected value = -598 US$ per capita
35 Remittance income is probably not going to be an engine of growth in the longer (or shorter) run! +120US$ per capita
36 ImplicaHons Sustained growth involves not just more of the same As they grow, countries diversify and evolve their comparahve advantage into new areas These tend to be more complex and able to compete while paying higher wages This process is not just about shizing from agriculture to manufacturing but within each sector and into services such as ICT, BPO, KPO, bunkering and tourism TransformaHon involves chicken and egg problems that need a^enhon What can the government do? Are there limits to tax incenhves as a tool, given the low tax revenue raho?
37 UrbanizaHon is surprisingly low
38 Urbanization is surprisingly low in Sri Lanka! Difference from expected value = percentage points
39 Questions! Why did it not urbanize faster in the past? Few urban exports? Few rents? Is the check in the mail? What would it take to seize the potenhal gains from urbanizahon without the bad side? Where will the new industries locate? What goes into efficient, produchve urbanizahon? Will you have the fiscal resources to make it happen?
40 The challenge of regional and social cohesion
41 Growth rates by industry are quite heterogeneous Growth rate Hotels and Restaurants ConstrucHon Mining and Quarrying Industry Fishing Transport and CommunicaHon Manufacturing Electricity, Gas and Water Banking, Insurance and Real Estate etc. Wholesale and Retail Trade Services Private Services Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing Agriculture, Livestock and Forestry Ownership of Dwellings Government Services 0.00% 5.00% 10.00% 15.00% 20.00% 25.00%
42 And different regions focus on different achvihes
43 Estate sector production is regionally focused! Caveat: Five districts not included in data (Jaffna, Mannar, Mullativu, Trincomalee, and Vavuniya)! Extent under Tea by District, 2002 ( 000s of hectares) Extent under Rubber by District, 2002 ( 000s of hectares) Extent under Coconuts by District, 2002 ( 000s of hectares) Data source: Census of Agriculture, Agriculture and Environmental StaHsHcs Division, Department of Census and StaHsHcs
44 As are other agricultural activities! Palay Yala 2014 ( 000s of metric tons) Palay Produc@on, Maha ( 000s of metric tons) CaDle Popula@on, 2014 ( 000s of ca^le) Data source: Agriculture and Environmental StaHsHcs Division, Department of Census and StaHsHcs
45 Different provinces concentrate on different manufacturing industries! Rubber & Products (% share of province manufacturing output) Apparel, Dressing & Dying of Fur (% share of province manufacturing output) (% share of province manufacturing output) Data source: Annual Survey of Industries 2012, Department of Census and StaHsHcs
46 QuesHons As tea and garments become less important, as agricultural employment shrinks and other achvihes become the engines of growth, how will the different social groups and regions fare? Where will the benefits and the burden of adjust fall?
47 What are some of the challenges ahead? Is growth constrained by exports and the balance of payments? Are government revenues too low? Is structural transformahon a challenge? Is urbanizahon too slow? How challenging will it be to make growth inclusive of the different regions and sectors?
48 Thank you!
