Introduction Investment attraction remains a key priority for government: Despite the current conditions, South Africa still receives investment and is regarded as a promising investment destination by Multinationals. ISA Investment Pipeline for Q1 - Q4 of potential projects is R 93 bn, buoyed by commitments made by Chinese State Visit in December in automotive and infrastructure investment. The Chinese government recently pledged R50-billion investment towards industrialisation in SA. The announcement was made by the Chinese Commerce department during its courtesy visit to the dti.
In the green economy, R 190 Billion of investment has been attracted due to the REIPPP, which is globally recognised as a model for renewable energy This affirms that foreign investors believes in the potential of the South African economy. 3

The need for Investment • Critical analysis indicates a strongly positive correlation between average ratios of gross fixed capital formation (GFC) to GDP and the rates of Economic Growth – with high growth economies (consistently achieving in excess of 5% real GDP growth per year) having an average ratio of GFCF to GDP of more than 30%, – those averaging between 3% and 5% real GDP growth a year have an average GFCF:GDP ratio of around 23%.
• The National Development Plan’s Vision 2030 notes that it will be necessary to increase the ratio of GFCF to GDP from current levels of 17% to 30%, – the contribution of public sector fixed investment should increase from around 7% currently to 10% of GDP by 2030. – in order to fund this increase in investment, the NDP assumes that the domestic savings rate will rise from 16 to 25% of GDP, – which means that there is a presumption that net foreign funding will contribute the remaining 5% of GDP. 6

• Although we have made progress in the World Competitiveness Report moving up rankings from 56 to 49, more needs to be done. • South Africa is falling in the ease of doing business ranking 2016 from 189 countries, 69 in 2015 to 73 in 2016. • In order to achieve our NDP target of 30% of GFCF we need to be more competitive
and our ease of doing business rankings need to be in the upper quartile, • South Africa needs to improve its investment climate through regulatory reform, procedures, business processes and turnaround times. • These are also impediments highlighted in President Business Working Group, in consultations with investors, in forums such as WEF and in the recent investors launch. • All three spheres of government need to commit to continuous improvement yearly,
improving our rankings and attractiveness as a destination of choice for doing business.

• The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is requesting technical assistance from UNCTAD's Business Facilitation Program to promote investment and entrepreneurship in South Africa by clarifying, simplifying and automating investment-related administrative procedures, and improving information on investment opportunities. • The Business Facilitation Project (BFP) aims at overhauling South Africa's services for investors and entrepreneurs through the creation of a Virtual Integrated Investment Portal (VIIP) combining innovative user-oriented online services: •
eRegulations: a step-by-step guide on investment related procedures including information on all requirements and forms, norms and laws, contact persons and recourses
•
eRegistrations: a transactional system enabling investors to apply online to start a business, obtain business visas, work permits, tax incentives and key licenses to operate a business in South Africa

Work in Progress Reforms & Improvements and service delivery by the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) CIPC aims to create greater accessibility to its services by having a presence through different channels. These are: • Partnering with Provincial Economic Development Departments, interested government entities such as Transnet, big business representatives such as the JSE and Chambers of Commerce – having CIPC self-service terminals at partner locations • Third Party Model – through which we make our technology available to interested government and private sector stakeholders (currently we are testing the project with the South African Institute of Black Auditors, ECDC and a private accounting firm) to register and maintain company registration services using the Department of Home Affairs’ fingerprinting (biometric verification) services • Banks – Nedbank, Standard bank and FNB have built platforms which enable entrepreneurs to apply for business bank accounts and company registration in one seamless process. • CIPC Service Centres – having Self Service Terminals in Pretoria, Johannesburg and Cape Town • Website- offering e-services. 36

Bloemfontein and Northern Province (Pending Partnership Agreements with Local Economic Departments and other prospective partners)
Besides the TED's, CIPC is engaging with all previous partners as well as the local economic development departments in each province to ensure a presence. The strategy is to have a presence in each province and the number of terminals will be dependant on the demand and volume. For SMME, which requires simple registration, process is now 100% automated . SSTs are available at major banks and for investors at the JSE 37
