<p>Yesterday Absa revealed measures to lessen the burden on its customers as South Africa weathers the storm of COVID-19, #21daylockdwon and a downgrade to junk by Moody’s. Bongiwe Gangeni, Deputy Chief Executive Officer for Retail &#038; Business Bank at Absa joins CNBC Africa for more.</p>


Absa launches COVID-19 payments relief programme


<p><em>Absa is the latest bank to announce measures for customers negatively impacted by South Africa&#8217;s #21daylockdown and COVID-19. FNB will announce its plans on Monday. </em></p>



<p><strong>Absa launches extensive COVID-19 payment relief programme </strong></p>



<p>·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Relief for consumer,
business banking and wealth customers </p>



<p>·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Bespoke solutions for
corporate and business banking clients</p>



<p>·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Additional administration
fees waived</p>



<p>·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
To allow benefits to
reach more customers, those who can pay are encouraged to continue payments</p>



<p>·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Programme applies to all
Absa markets, subject to legislation, regulations and conditions applicable in
each country</p>



<p>As South Africa and the world confront the
public health, financial and economic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic,
Absa Group is rolling out an extensive relief programme for eligible customers
impacted by COVID-19. </p>



<p>“We realise that this is a difficult time for our customers and businesses whose financial means are being negatively affected. After careful consideration and engagements with regulators, we are pleased to introduce a comprehensive customer, business and corporate relief programme. This programme, effective on Monday, 30 March 2020, is in line with the principles of an industry-agreed approach <a href="https://www.banking.org.za/news/banks-respond-to-covid-19/">https://www.banking.org.za/news/banks-respond-to-covid-19/</a>. We urge those of our customers who are able to continue making their payments, to do so. This will enable us to extend these measures to many more who are not in a similar position,” said Daniel Mminele, Group Chief Executive of Absa.</p>



<p>Eligible customers in need of short-term liquidity relief will qualify for the relief programme that applies to Absa’s credit products. These relief measures apply to Absa’s corporate, wealth, business bank, private bank and retail customers. Crucially, this programme will not attract additional administration fees for customers.</p>

</div></figure>



<p>Support to corporate and business banking
clients will entail solutions based on their unique requirements and
operations. Businesses and corporates are encouraged to contact their
relationship managers for further details.</p>



<p>The programme incorporates a three-month
payment relief and allows customers in need of short-term financial relief to
reduce their monthly instalments. Customers in good standing (with up-to-date
accounts), and who have been financially impacted by the pandemic will have the
opportunity to opt-in for payment relief, aimed at assisting with cash flow
needs. This means the programme will give customers the opportunity to either
continue paying if they are in a position to, to pay reduced instalments by
agreement with the bank or to defer payments for a period of three months.</p>



<p>Relevant agreements will be adjusted, by revising the loan period and capitalising interest during the relief period. </p>

</div></figure>



<p>“The programme is testament to our commitment
to finding real, customer-focused solutions, in a time of great uncertainty for
everyone,” said Arrie Rautenbach, Chief Executive of Absa Retail and Business
Banking (RBB) South Africa.</p>



<p>The principles applicable to this relief
programme in South Africa are extended to Absa’s other markets in Africa but
will be implemented subject to the various conditions, laws and regulations
applicable in each country.</p>



<p>“Absa campuses also have small and medium
sized enterprises such as hairdressers, pharmacies, florists and coffee shops,
among others as commercial tenants. In recognition of the role SME’s play in
creating jobs and sustaining livelihoods, these businesses have been granted a
rental holiday for the next three months,” concluded Mminele.

We will continue to monitor the situation
closely and adjust our relief programme where necessary

Joining CNBC Africa for today’s Africa exchange segment is Ridle Markus, Africa Strategist at  Absa Corporate and Investment Banking to discuss Zambia’s energy crisis.</p>


What is behind Zambia’s deepening energy

What is behind Zambia’s deepening energy, economic crisis?


<p><em>By Shirley Webber, Coverage Head Natural Resources at Absa Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB).</em><br>Global investor interest in Africa’s mining sector remains strong despite various challenges facing the sector. The African continent has vast resources with sustainable future growth in the&nbsp;exploration and development of commodities, and therefore the growing demand for these strategic resources by foreign investors and commodity users worldwide in the long term. </p>



<p>However,
to harness this interest, stable political environments, compliance with
legislation, stable labour relations and regulatory certainty will be key to ensure
the continent remains an attractive destination for mining investment. </p>



<p>The
regulatory environment must be certain and consistent from one year to the next
because mining is a long-term business, and from a bank’s view, it is a three
to five-year investment. Therefore, both banks and shareholders need
consistency, be it regulations or aspects like royalty taxes for example.</p>



<p>The
regulatory environment across some African countries is improving for the
mining and metals sector as governments realise the importance of providing
certainty to attract new investment. As a result, some investors have been
considering green-fields projects, especially in West and East Africa. There’s
a renewed focus on battery minerals as well and this is evident in the drilling
activity on the African continent over the last two years. Increased capital
expenditure is envisaged in gold, copper, lithium, mineral sands, cobalt and
graphite. </p>



<p>There
is a more collaborative approach between governments and investors in order to
attract sustainable investment in the regions. The key to unlocking investments
into Africa is for industry stakeholders to continue to collaborate responsibly
to promote investment in mining and ultimately economic growth in the countries
they operate.</p>



<p>Equally
important will be the availability of reliable cost-effective power supply. For
example, there have been power cuts in South Africa, and this has affected
mining companies. Mining companies prefer certainty about the available power
so that they can manage their cost structures and plan production accordingly.
In the rest of Africa similar energy crisis situations are evident, therefor
the need for more renewable energy sources, thereby curbing power interruptions
and costs in the long-run.</p>



<p>Because
mining is a capital-intensive business, factors such as rising production
costs, infrastructure challenges, electricity supply as mentioned and rising labour
costs continue to be of major concern to mining companies. &nbsp;And these are issues which need to be dealt
with responsibly. </p>



<p>As
costs rise and margins come under pressure, diversification will be important
for the mining and metals industry to ensure that companies remain competitive
with volatile economic cycles and commodity prices. &nbsp;</p>



<p>Diversification
is a key differentiator as it is not only about &nbsp;various commodities but also geographical
diversification too. Some of the mining companies are expanding into both
Africa and globally. On the other hand, consolidation remains a key theme that
includes large players forming one entity for efficiencies or even selling of
parts of the value chain. </p>



<p>The long term sustainability is dependent
on sourcing, developing and mining high grade reserves. Change
in the reserves’ estimates or development prospects pose a risk to mining
companies. It will however be important to achieve efficiencies particularly as
the cost of extraction continues to rise due to the geology of some minerals
which is forcing mining companies to access more difficult reserves underground.
It is important to focus on enhancing operational efficiency to perhaps look at
inclusion of automation and new technologies where applicable.</p>



<p>Equally
of concern to mining companies is the volatility in commodity and foreign
currency markets which will need appropriate risk management strategies in
order to ensure financial institutional funding of investments in mining. Innovative hedging solutions to clients who have
exposures to interest rate fluctuation, foreign exchange fluctuation and
commodity variability are necessities for operational project success. </p>



<p>Banks
such as Absa, which is one of the 130 banks from 49 countries who are
signatories to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Banking, now have
an increasing and important role to play by funding not only commercially
viable projects but also ensuring that they complied with sustainability
principles which align business strategy to society’s goals. </p>



<p>The
key role of a bank like Absa now includes making sure that where we provide
funding, the economy and communities benefit. Going forward when considering
funding of certain commercially viable projects which include natural resources
and extraction, lenders will place additional focus on the positive impact of
funding and whether it aligns with a country’s developmental goals, the
environment and its people. </p>



<p>Non-compliance
with environmental laws can lead to production interruptions, reputational
damage, and substantial fines/clean-up costs. Mining operations are subject to
various stringent and complex environmental, health and safety laws and
regulations. In this respect, capital providers can guide their clients and
stakeholders in their requirements for funding by applying the Equator
Principles which include applicable IFC Performance Standards on Environmental
and Social Sustainability Guidelines for various sectors and for funding
natural resources and extraction transactions.</p>


#MiningIndaba2020: Global investor interest in mining in Africa remains high, but more can be done…

<p>Former Reserve Bank Deputy Governor, Daniel Mminele is the first black CEO of South Africa&#8217;s third largest bank, Absa. Mminele replaces the interim CEO, Rene van Wyk from the 15th January 2020 but what does this mean for Absa and the banking sector? Kokkie Kooyman, Portfolio Manager at Denker Capital joins CNBC Africa for more.</p>


Appointment of former Reserve Bank Deputy Governor as new ABSA CEO analysed

What new ABSA CEO needs to do to prosper


<p>Speculation has been rife for months that South African Reserve Bank&#8217;s (SARB&#8217;s) former deputy governor Daniel Mminele would be Absa&#8217;s next boss after <a href="https://www.cnbcafrica.com/news/financial/2019/01/29/after-10-years-at-the-held-maria-ramos-to-step-down-from-absa/">Maria Ramos resigned last year</a>, today it was confirmed, he will take over on the 15th January.</p>



<p>However Viv Govender, a Senior Analyst&nbsp;at Rand Swiss reckons <a href="https://www.cnbcafrica.com/videos/2019/08/14/mminele-expected-to-take-the-reins-at-absa-on-15th-january-2020-source/">Mminele might not be the right fit</a>. He believes someone from the IT or technology field would have been a better fit to deal with the structural changes in the banking industry that have seen new players, such as TymeBank and Bank Zero entering the market. </p>



<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">Mminele has extensive banking experience. In a statement from Absa it said  Mminele  recently completed his "second five-year term as Deputy Governor of SARB, where his responsibilities included Financial Markets, International Economic Relations and Policy, and Human Capital and Operations. Among others, he was a member of the Monetary Policy and Financial Stability Committee. Prior to joining the SARB in September 1999, he worked for African Merchant Bank and Commerzbank in South Africa, and WestLB in the UK and Germany for 12 years, commencing in 1987. Daniel previously earned a German banking qualification and obtained various associate certificates from the Institute of Bankers in the UK".</pre>

<p><em>Press Release</em></p>



<p>Now in its third year, the Absa Africa Financial Markets Index evaluates financial market development in 20 countries across the African continent and the improvements show the progress being made within the financial markets.</p>



<p>Apart from the progress shown in the overall score, the biggest improvement was in ‘legality and enforceability of standard financial markets master agreements’, where the average score jumped to 55 from 47.</p>



<p>‘The steady improvement across African countries is partly a testament to the impact that our Index is having across the continent,’ says George Asante, Head of Global Markets for Absa Regional Operations. ‘The Index is putting the right level of peer pressure on policy makers across Africa and we are seeing a concerted effort to react to the findings. The Index is becoming a powerful barometer for policy makers and playing a role in building an Africa which is able to fund itself.’ An excellent example of this is Ethiopia, which announced plans to launch a stock exchange in 2020, a sure sign of the significant potential for improvement in the coming year.</p>



<p>We welcome these vital signs of improvement in several African countries,’ says David Marsh, chairman of OMFIF. ‘The launch of new products or regulatory improvements prove that the African continent is moving in the right direction, and our index is now a piece of important evidence for tracking progress in the region’.&nbsp;</p>
