Please kindly be offered the fourth issue of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives’ analytical report Business in Russia. Geography of opportunities in which we have presented attractive investment niches in the Altai, Kamchatka and Perm territories, as well as in the Lipetsk and Orel regions. It is worth to note that the majority of investment opportunities described in this issue are focused on the needs of domestic market experiencing a certain shortage due to economic sanctions (such as pharmaceuticals, electrical and energy-saving equipment). In addition, the devaluation of national currency continues to bring a negative pressure on the purchasing power of the population. In this regard, investments in the development of domestic tourism and food industry look promising. However, on this background, manufacture and exportation of timber industry products may be interesting in terms of yield. As in previous reviews, we publish a commentary on Russian macroeconomic environment prepared by VTB Capital analysts. We sincerely hope that this material will be useful for the development of your business and may help in making investment decisions. Agency for Strategic Initiatives Team |3 Thoughts of a n ec o no m i s t : t h e era o f exp l i c i t l y c o n d i t i o n al fo re c ast s Thoughts of an economist: The era of explicitly conditional forecasts Being an open economy, Russia constantly has to adapt to external shocks, be they volatility in the terms of trade, the spillover of shifts in foreign central banks’ monetary policies or swings in international investors’ risk appetite. The volatility these factors brought about, though at times remarkable, stayed manageable (not least because key indicators, i.e. FX were tightly managed) allowing a baseline scenario to be drawn up. Until recently. The sum of shocks that the Russian economy faces now marks the end of the era of meaningful point forecasts. Hence this report is our welcome to the new era of explicitly conditional interval forecasts – we believe they are much better suited to an environment which, for better or worse, lacks the visibility we used to enjoy in the past. Net exports help external adjustments but are not a reliable growth engine. Net exports are the only component of GDP to make a positive contribution this year (at 7.1pp) as internal demand dwindles. That, however, is a result of the rapid contraction in imports (both consumer but, more deeply, investment imports). In FX terms, exports contract roughly proportionally to the declining trend in oil prices. The decline in the price of energy commodities relative to other export items pushes for a more diversified export structure, but in the medium term exports are going to continue to be dominated by oil and gas. On this front, a range of technological, political and economic factors supports the lower oil price outlook: • Technological advances on the supply side. In exploration and extraction, efficiency is set to push the breakeven oil price lower still with the EIA projecting that the oil market will continue to be dominated by excess supply. • Iran’s entrance onto the international energy markets. The EIA estimates that Iran has 30 mmbbl of stocks and capacity of 2.8mmbbl/d, which is set to rise to 3.1-3.5mmbbl/d. • EM slowdown weighs on the demand side. This could potentially be caused by the spillover from lower Chinese demand for commodities. Thus, the terms of trade will probably keep deteriorating and are unlikely to reverse any time soon. Our scenarios assume USD 60/bbl as a new equilibrium which might be reached either in the near term (upbeat), or approached gradually over a period of time 4| Thoughts of a n ec o no m i s t : t h e era o f exp l i c i t l y c o n d i t i o n al fo re c ast s (central) or not reached at all due to the equilibrium shifting still lower to USD 40/bbl. We do not consider a return to levels above USD 100/bbl. On the longer horizon, weaker REER creates the precondition for an increase in the export of a diverse range of goods, from agriculture to manufacturing. However, this involves entering new markets and, more importantly, creating and adapting local capacities so that they can better meet external demand. That needs to be preceded by a recovery in FAI. In the meantime, a recovery in local demand would push imports (both consumer and investment) higher, which makes net exports a less likely growth engine in the medium term. Fiscal consolidation to weigh on local demand, not support it. The Guidelines for fiscal policy, which contained preliminary estimates of the 2016 budget and was supported by the government back in late June, assumed public expenditure would grow to RUB 15.9tn in 2016, from RUB 15.2tn this year. That implies a contraction (in real terms) of at least 7.3% YoY. However, by mid-August the assumption of Urals at USD 60/bbl had clearly become overly aggressive and required a review, in line with the Ministry of Finance’s practice of offering ex ante conservative budget drafts (spending is casually extended throughout the fiscal year, if the revenue stream allows). The first draft of the federal budget assumed a deficit of The first draft of the federal budget assumed a deficit of decline in the price of Urals to an average of 50 USD/bbl for 2016 corresponds to a shortfall in revenues of roughly RUB 1.0-1.2tn. Keeping that expenditure unchanged would increase the total deficit to RUB 2.9-3.1tn, on our estimates, in the central scenario and even more in the downbeat scenario. Keep an eye on the structure of the adjustment. With a RUB 2.9-3.1tn deficit to finance, the government faces the task of spreading the burden between the Reserve Fund, net debt issuance, fiscal consolidation and increased revenues (through more efficient collection or increasing the tax burden). Government officials have even been quoted as saying that some less standard revenue sources are being considered, such as extending the NPF asset freeze past YE15 (which might shave up to RUB 0.35bn from the transfer to the PFR). The proportion of deficit financing from debt issuance and the Reserve Fund/NWF is also uncertain. Notably, MinFin defends keeping net issuance at RUB 0.5-0.6tn while MinEconomy’s Alexey Ulyukaev argues that there is room to add another RUB 1.0tn of new debt. The remaining RUB 1.5tn could be spread between the Reserve Fund and outright expenditure cuts (which might include <5.5% pension indexation and a universal percentage decrease to other spending). Even in the upside scenario, fiscal policy faces the challenge of sustaining expenditures in real terms, while the central and downside scenarios call for nominal cuts in spending which means that any positive real contribution to growth from public demand (both consumption and investment) is off the agenda. Household consumption is under pressure on all fronts. The increase in household consumption can be funded by a combination of i) increasing wages; ii) rising stock of retail debt; and iii) declining stock of household wealth (i.e. selling accumulated FX cash). While there are signs that households use accumulated FX to smooth a temporary decline in real incomes, it can only be a temporary and relatively small fix. |5 Thoughts of a n ec o no m i s t : t h e era o f exp l i c i t l y c o n d i t i o n al fo re c ast s Meanwhile, retail lending is subdued and the retail portfolio is shrinking at 0.65-0.8% MoM SA FX adj. We do not expect the recovery to kick in until at least 2Q16 when brighter signs of recovery appear. Until then, interest and non-interest lending conditions are likely to remain tight. Thus, retail lending is unlikely to support internal consumer demand in the coming years, even after retail deleveraging runs its course. Wage bill growth to remain anaemic, driven down by restructuring in public and nontradable sectors. Wages, the ultimate source of household demand growth (they account for more than two-thirds of total household income), do not provide much ground to be upbeat either. • Fiscal consolidation is to continue weighing on public sector wages. • In the private sector, wages are to track productivity trends in individual industries more closely. In the private sector, wage growth in the non-tradable sector (including finance, construction and hospitality) is set to lag the tradable sector significantly, as employers share profits from RUB weakness with the labour force. The anaemic wage growth in the public and non-tradable sectors will provide more incentive for labour force outflow into the tradable sector, helping to promote the restructuring of the economy. Preconditions for private investments are starting to emerge. The contraction of private investments can only in part be explained by elevated interest rates or tighter credit conditions. Headline investment growth crossed the line back in 2H13 and has stayed in the red since then. Back then, the CBR’s key interest rate1 fluctuated in a narrow 5.0-5.5% corridor and other factors were weighing on the FAI; they included mounting economic policy uncertainty, stronger REER-induced Dutch disease and (in part) the growing disconnect between wage growth and productivity. 1 6| Before the key rate was introduced, the effective equivalent was the CBR’s REPO o/n rate Thoughts of a n ec o no m i s t : t h e era o f exp l i c i t l y c o n d i t i o n al fo re c ast s Figure 1: GDP, % YoY 10 GDP, % YoY upbeat, % YoY central, % YoY downbeat, % YoY 5 0 2010 2015 -5 -10 Source: Rosstat, VTB Capital Research Figure 2: Key rate, %, eop key rate 16 upbeat, % central, % downbeat, % 14 12 10 8 6 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Source: CBR, VTB Capital Research |7 Thoughts of a n ec o no m i s t : t h e era o f exp l i c i t l y c o n d i t i o n al fo re c ast s Despite FX volatility and elevated interest rates which stifle investment activity, the preconditions for reigniting private investments are starting to emerge: • Corporates in the tradable sectors have accumulated substantial liquidity. This buffer, due to weak FX-driven profits in 1H15, means investments are less dependent on the availability of other sources of funding. • The cost of funding is coming down. The 1-3Y corporate lending rate reached 15.4% in July, down from its peak of 17.8% in February. • Momentum in interest rate cuts fades. This created the incentive to delay borrowing and push investment down the road, which made sense when the CBR was delivering 100-200bp cuts each meeting, but the pace of easing has slowed to 50bp and at its most recent meeting the CBR opted for no change. • Shift to weaker REER viewed as a permanent weakness. It is no longer seen as a transitory weakness to be undone by a reversal of the tide on the commodity markets. This is supported by regular verbal interventions from the authorities, and there is virtually no sponsor of a strong RUB anywhere among the expert community or publicly visible figures. Businesses to exploit opportunities offered by cost competitiveness on both the local market (weaker FX provides a natural barrier for imports) and on the external one (due to the attractive cost of labour in FX terms, among others). Furthermore, in the coming years the government’s efforts to promote a more investment-friendly environment are likely to bear fruit. The more visible federal projects are i) a freeze on adding new taxes or increasing the existing ones and ii) creating clusters with special treatment for incorporated enterprises (lower tax rates, less red tape). Although a second-best decision in itself, it is important that the recent government talk of extracting additional fiscal revenues from the oil sector is confined to just that sector since the oil tax system gives the sector a special tax treatment which, with overshooting FX, makes the sector’s P&L benefit from collapsing oil prices. An increase in economy-wide taxes remains a taboo for now. Investment growth is more likely to materialise in tradable sectors with larger liquidity stocks. Private investment is harder to project than public capex, as the former is, by its nature, more sensitive to swings in the outlook and level of ‘animal spirits’. Nevertheless, we believe that the industries which are better positioned to take advantage of the current conditions are those that: • have low or materially improving NPL, allowing for access to bank lending and lower borrowing costs; • see the growth of the loan portfolio bottoming out or increasing, which is another sign of access to borrowing; • operate in the tradable sector, which means lower dependence on local demand (which is to remain subdued) and better chances to diversify into external markets; • are dominated by the private sector, as the public sector is set to shrink in real terms. Thus, the more likely industries to deliver positive real investment growth are, among others, agriculture, autos and electric parts and components producers, fertilizers and to some extent infrastructure. 8| Thoughts of a n ec o no m i s t : t h e era o f exp l i c i t l y c o n d i t i o n al fo re c ast s Figure 3: Forecasts often follow oil price swings Urals, b./ MinEc baseline as of May–15, USD/bbl MinEc baseline as of Aug–15, USD/bbl MinEc baseline as of Sep–15, USD/bbl CBR baseline as of Sep–15, USD/bbl 120 100 80 60 40 2012201420162018 Source: Vedomosti, Kommersant, MinEconomy, CBR, Reuters, VTB Capital Research Figure 4: Stylised scenarios frame the likely range Urals, USD/bbl Urals, USD/bbl, upbeat Urals, USD/bbl, central Urals, USD/bbl, downbeat 120 100 80 60 40 2012201420162018 Source: Reuters, VTB Capital Research |9 The in v estment o p p o r t u ni t i es o f A l t a i Terri t o r y Kemerovo Moscow 3617 км Novosibirsk 233км 414км Barnaul Gorno-Altaysk 258км Astana 1201км (289 km to border) THE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES OF A map of the region and arrows to the centers of adjoining regions and to Moscow with indication of distance on public roads1 Altai Territory 01 Main characteristics of the region DETAIL: For more detailed information on key economic and social indicators, please visit the following links: http://investinregions.ru/regions/altaisky/ http://akstat.gks.ru/ Investment portal of the region: http://invest.alregn.ru/ Investment strategy: http://invest.alregn.ru/upload/ iblock/c9e/c9e0c6497e5851431b8250ae1a62a655.pdf Investment agency: http://altinvest22.ru/ 1 2 10 | Population 2 384 812 people Adjacent regions’ population 6 438 308 people Average lease rate for class A office premises 8 400 rub/sq.m/year Average lease rate for class A production and storage premises 2 400 rub/sq.m/year Average sale price of industrial land lots 6 000 000 rub/hectare Average monthly salary 19 456 rub.
