However, one aspect of the sector that is predictable is the cyclical nature of commodity prices. Currently, the outlook for commodity prices shows an upward trend. The World Bank’s most recent Commodities Markets Outlook of October 20171 reported that in the oil market, inventories continue to fall amid strong demand, OPEC production restraint, and stabilizing U.S. shale oil production. Crude oil prices as of October 2017 were to average $53 per barrel (bbl) in 2017 (up from $43/bbl in 2016) and rise to $56/bbl in 2018, a small downward revision from the April 2017 forecast. Metals prices were surging 22 percent in 2017 due to strong demand and supply constraints, notably Chinese environmentally- driven supply cuts. With the exception of iron ore, metals prices are expected to increase moderately in 2018. Global gas demand has increased over the past decade and, with the increased interest in cleaner energy, is expected to grow by 2 percent per year between now and 2030. Looking ahead, demand for gas is expected to strengthen from new chemical and fertilizer capacity and from rising exports by pipeline to Mexico and via liquefied natural gas (LNG) worldwide. In 2016, global liquefied natural gas (LNG) demand reached 265 million tons, indicating an increase in net LNG imports of 17 million tons from the previous year. At the same time, with several old and new discoveries and increasing stock of natural gas, low oil prices, and increased production of cheap natural gas in the United States, the demand for gas is lagging the supply, which drives down global prices, making many of the new discoveries as well as more complex deposits less economic. Although demand is expected to eventu- ally catch up with supply and improve the economics of the sector, competition is fierce and prices will remain low for a while. The World Bank’s Metals and Minerals Price Index surged by 10 percent in the third quarter of 2017 due to strong demand—particularly in China’s property, infrastructure, and manufacturing sectors—and var- ious supply bottlenecks. Metals prices have risen in five of the past six quarters, and prices for the first nine months of the year averaged 26 percent higher than the corresponding period of 2016. All metals prices increased in the third quarter of 2017, led by zinc and nickel, which jumped 14 percent on robust demand and reduced mine production (zinc) and solid stainless steel demand (nickel). Iron ore and copper also surged, rising 13 and 12 percent, respectively, in part due to supply shortfalls. Metals prices are projected to ease slightly in 2018 following an estimated 22 percent rise last year. 1 http://pubdocs.worldbank.org/en/743431507927822505/CMO-October-2017-Full-Report.pdf iii A N N U A L T R U S T F U N D I M P L E M E N TAT I O N P R O G R E S S R E P O R T T O D E V E LO P M E N T PA R T N E R S There were interesting new trends in the mining sector since 2016. After the sizable cuts in exploration and production activity the industry experienced in 2015, when companies responded to low metal and mineral prices by closing mines and reducing exploration (which is starting to affect the stock of miner- als), the demand for minerals, especially those that are used in batteries and other technologies (such as those needed for increasingly popular electric cars), is starting to increase. Exploration expenditures must increase if production is to meet the foreseeable rebound in market demand. These continued cycles of uncertainty faced by the sector and global economies in general continue to encourage World Bank client countries to push for reforms to improve the investment climate and sec- tor governance transparency while improving economic, environmental, and social sustainability of the industry and increasing benefits from resource extraction to their citizens. The World Bank has abundant and diverse experience and expertise in supporting its resource-rich client countries to reform their extractives sector. It offers technical assistance on geodata collection and analy- sis; sector governance, including transparent licensing and tendering of assets; environmental and social management; local content development; fiscal policies; and overall legal, regulatory, and institutional frameworks. The World Bank’s overall extractives sector portfolio is growing with US$810 million of active International Development Association (IDA) funding as of the end of fiscal 2017, around US$70 mil- lion in active trust funds, and an additional US$212 million of IDA funding to be added in fiscal 2018. The World Bank Energy and Extractives Global Practice (Extractives Team—GEEX) annually produces approximately 50 knowledge products, which range from new research on extractives topics to commu- nities of practice and just-in-time client support on a wide variety of sectoral issues. If the current upward trend in commodity prices persists, there will be greater need for reforms to prepare resource-rich devel- oping and transition economies for potential new investments and sector development. Transparency and accountability, including adherence to the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) Standard, are key elements for an extractives sector to contribute to a sustainable, and equitable economic growth. Globally, EITI has gained enormous momentum with new countries joining the Initiative. At the same time, the EITI Standard has gone far beyond the initial scope of revenue disclosures. Today there is an increasing understanding that sustainability of the EITI Standard will be substantially strengthened if transparency is embedded in broader sector reforms via mainstreaming, and the Standard’s implementa- tion is incorporated into the sector’s institutional structures and standardized processes. With the Extractives Global Programmatic Support (EGPS) Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF), which supplements core financing instruments, the World Bank is well placed to support countries to address specific extractives governance-related issues along the entire value chain in less time and with higher efficiency. See Annex 1 for details on the EGPS program design and development objectives. The EGPS continues to leverage technical cooperation with other global practices, including environment and natural resources on climate change and environmental management, governance on civil service and civil society, macro and fiscal management on domestic resource mobilization issues, and trade and competitiveness on local content and economic diversification issues. iv FOREWORD Over its two years of activities, the EGPS has managed to accommodate about 50 activities, with about 30 projects to be added during fiscal 2018. Through fiscal 2017, the EGPS followed a demand-based approach for financing within its four topical pillars. The EGPS offers a comprehensive approach to the reform needs of client countries and leverages, where possible, the World Bank’s broader portfolio in the extractives sector and other donor support. This approach ensures that the World Bank and development partners will be better equipped to address the World Bank’s twin goals of ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity. In addition to the EGPS (and not including country level dedicated trust funds and co-financing grants), GEEX manages the Global Gas Flaring Reduction (GGFR) public–private partnership, a dedicated extractives trust fund for French-speaking Africa, and the USAID-financed single-donor trust fund for EITI support that previously ran in parallel with the EITI MDTF and is closing June 30, 2018. v Chapter 1 RISKS AND CHALLENGES T he program level risks and challenges identi- fied at the inception of the EGPS largely remain valid.
