  4. RATIONALE FOR SECTOR CODES DEVELOPMENT RATIONALE FOR SECTOR CODES DEVELOPMENT In terms of Section 9(1)(e) of the Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment Amendment Act (No. 46 of 2013) B-BBEE Sector Codes are a means to address sector specific issues and peculiarities especially those that hinders transformation within a specific sector. • Sector Codes should not and is not the means to undermine the Generic Codes. • 4

  5. RATIONALE FOR SECTOR CODES DEVELOPMENT RATIONALE FOR SECTOR CODES DEVELOPMENT Development and drafting of sector codes is an inclusive process involving entities with common commercial and other characteristics. • There are three types of sector codes: – section 12 – statement of information; – section 9(5) – gazetted for 60 days public comments by the Minister of Trade and Industry; and – section 9(1) – Legally binding Sector Code. • 5

  6. RATIONALE FOR SECTOR CODES DEVELOPMENT RATIONALE FOR SECTOR CODES DEVELOPMENT The Codes of Good Practice stipulate that a Charter can only be gazetted when: - There is evidence that it is compliance with Section 12 of the Act; - It uses same definitions in respect of all beneficiaries as those used in the Codes; and - It adequately and clearly defines its scope of application. • The proposed Sector Code may deviate from Targets and Weightings used in the Codes only where those deviations are justifiable based on sound economic principles, sectorial characteristics or empirical research. • The proposed Sector Code must clearly define its scope of application. • 6

  7. AMENDED FSC: HISTORY & PROCESS AMENDED FSC: HISTORY & PROCESS Emanated from the 2002 NEDLAC Summit where stakeholders committed to a sector charter. • The aim is to transform the financial services sector. • Stakeholders: – Government: Department of Finance, Department of Trade and Industry and Presidency; – Black Professionals represented by ABSIP; – NEDLAC Organised Labour represented by COSATU, NACTU and FEDUSA; – NEDLAC Organised Community represented by the Financial Sector Coalition Campaign; and – Trade Associations : BASA, ASISA, SAIA, JSE, FIA, SAVCA. • 7

  9. FSC: SCORECARD FSC: SCORECARD The FSC has 3 (three) different scorecards for entities: a scorecard for Banks and Life Offices, for Short-term Insurers and for other Financial Institutions: • Banks and Life Offices have over and above the Generic Codes elements, two sector specific elements- Empowerment Financing and Access to Financial Services; • Short-term Insurers have one additional element- Access to Financial Services; and • Other financial institutions’ have the same elements on their scorecards as the Generic Codes. Small Enterprises are given an option to be verified should they volunteer to. This differs from the generic codes where they only required to obtain a Sworn Affidavit. • 9

  11. OWNERSHIP OWNERSHIP The Ownership scorecard for the FSC is different from the • Generic scorecard because the sector is highly regulated i.e BASEL III. The overall ownership target is 25%. Local branches of foreign • banks can do an equity equivalent of 25% of value in SA. Stand alone asset managers and other industry players • (companies not subject to regulated capital requirements) will be subject to the Generic Code rules on exit of Empowerment Shareholders. 11

  12. OWNERSHIP OWNERSHIP Shareholders in Banks, Life Officers and Short-term Insurers have • practical funding options on exit of empowerment partners. Ownership exit rules, in combination with Empowerment Financing rules create a significant potential catalyst for black business growth (R100bn in potential funding). 12

  18. ENTEPRISE AND SUPPLIER DEVELOPMENT (ESD) ENTEPRISE AND SUPPLIER DEVELOPMENT (ESD) The ESD scorecard has been deliberately designed to cater to the • core business of the sector and seeks to address the transformation of the entire financial sector value-chain. ESD Funding and procurement targets are phased in over a • period of 3 years in the Amended FSC. Specific PP spend targets to increase access to market for Black • Owned intermediaries (e.g. stock brokers, fund managers etc.). Specific ESD contribution targets for funding & growth support of • Black Owned intermediaries. 18

  19. ENTEPRISE AND SUPPLIER DEVELOPMENT ENTEPRISE AND SUPPLIER DEVELOPMENT ESD Spend requirements for Banks and Long-term insurers are • included under Empowerment Financing. The beneficiaries of supplier development especially by banks • are not limited to those that directly do business with them. For example, if a bank financially supports a Black Industrialist who is in the manufacturing sector, that support would be considered to be Supplier Development. 19
