Eminent Panel Conference, Accra, August 7th - 9th,
2020
Cost-Benefit Analysis of Two Policies Linked
to Ghana’s Industrialization
Godfred A. Bokpin,
Economist and Professor of Finance, University of Ghana Business
School
Brad Wong, Copenhagen Consensus
Introduction and Motivation
•Expenditure rigidities amidst dwarfed revenue in the face
of rising infrastructural deficit imposes on the country’s
growth drivers
•Crowding out of priority spending
•Economy has transformed (in structure) but with limited
advantages of job creation
•Growth peaked in 2011 with oil and has since declined

Government Intervention
•Government from 2017 set the Ghana Integrated Aluminum
Development Corporation (GIADEC):
•To promote and develop the integrated aluminum industry
•A USD 2 billion Master Project Support Agreement (MPSA)
with Sinohydro Corporation Limited the year after
•Besides scientific basis for the development of the bauxite
•Several concerns of costs and benefits argument have arisen
since
Description of the solution
• The paper analyzed the entire value of the industry:
• Mining of bauxite
• Refinery of bauxite into alumina
• Smelting of alumina into aluminium
• The methodology is cost-benefit analysis
• Due to uncertainties in data, a range of production volumes, cost and benefit values
were calculated
• Note due to data limitations potential environmental impacts are not included
-> results should be interpreted with this in mind
Costs: Bauxite – Alumina - Aluminium
• Ghana has large deposits of Bauxite – 540 million tonnes (Kesse, 1985), 780
million tones (Agbolosoo, 1991), GIADC to confirm official position soon
• Annual total costs ranged between $1 billion and $3.2 billion for the entire value
• Bauxite costs (average case) range from $122 million to $524 million at various
levels of production.
• Alumina production costs (average case) range between $540 million and $1.6
billion.
• Aluminium production costs (average case) are between $360 million and $1.1
billion at various levels of production
• These costs are inclusive of investment costs which are annualized over a 50-
year lifetime.
Potential annual benefits of the entire value chain
•Total benefits ranged between $934 million and $3.6 billion,
with a median value of $2.3 billion.
•The average benefits for bauxite production range between
$35.5 million and $284 million under different production levels
•Benefits in alumina production range between $320 million
which can increase to $1.8 billion
•Benefits of aluminium production lies between $583 million
and $1.6 billion given their production volumes
Net Benefits to Costs
•The net benefit for the entire IAI ranges between -
•$365 million to $560 million, with an average benefit of $140
million,
•Representing an average benefit-cost ratio of 1.1 (to 1 decimal
place) which is about 0.24 percent of Ghana's GDP
• Small BCR but very large absolute benefits
•Important considerations:
Flow-on effects such as direct and indirect employment, and
technological transfers, social, economic and environmental
costs not captured
Intervention 2: Special Economic Zones
• No formal benefit-cost analysis due to data limitations, unpredictable
costs and large uncertainty over benefits
• Emerging evidence internationally and from Ghana suggests it is
better to focus resources on economy wide reforms rather than
geographically delimited areas
• BCR of future SEZs is likely less than 1
• Tax and infrastructure incentives of SEZs are insufficient to attract FDI.
Labor, skills, non-economic infrastructure such as schools are key e.g.
see concentration of business in Accra and Tema

  • 5. Government Intervention •Government from 2017 set the Ghana Integrated Aluminum Development Corporation (GIADEC): •To promote and develop the integrated aluminum industry •A USD 2 billion Master Project Support Agreement (MPSA) with Sinohydro Corporation Limited the year after •Besides scientific basis for the development of the bauxite •Several concerns of costs and benefits argument have arisen since
  • 6. Description of the solution • The paper analyzed the entire value of the industry: • Mining of bauxite • Refinery of bauxite into alumina • Smelting of alumina into aluminium • The methodology is cost-benefit analysis • Due to uncertainties in data, a range of production volumes, cost and benefit values were calculated • Note due to data limitations potential environmental impacts are not included -> results should be interpreted with this in mind
  • 7. Costs: Bauxite – Alumina - Aluminium • Ghana has large deposits of Bauxite – 540 million tonnes (Kesse, 1985), 780 million tones (Agbolosoo, 1991), GIADC to confirm official position soon • Annual total costs ranged between $1 billion and $3.2 billion for the entire value • Bauxite costs (average case) range from $122 million to $524 million at various levels of production. • Alumina production costs (average case) range between $540 million and $1.6 billion. • Aluminium production costs (average case) are between $360 million and $1.1 billion at various levels of production • These costs are inclusive of investment costs which are annualized over a 50- year lifetime.
  • 8. Potential annual benefits of the entire value chain •Total benefits ranged between $934 million and $3.6 billion, with a median value of $2.3 billion. •The average benefits for bauxite production range between $35.5 million and $284 million under different production levels •Benefits in alumina production range between $320 million which can increase to $1.8 billion •Benefits of aluminium production lies between $583 million and $1.6 billion given their production volumes
  • 9. Net Benefits to Costs •The net benefit for the entire IAI ranges between - •$365 million to $560 million, with an average benefit of $140 million, •Representing an average benefit-cost ratio of 1.1 (to 1 decimal place) which is about 0.24 percent of Ghana's GDP • Small BCR but very large absolute benefits •Important considerations: Flow-on effects such as direct and indirect employment, and technological transfers, social, economic and environmental costs not captured
  • 10. Intervention 2: Special Economic Zones • No formal benefit-cost analysis due to data limitations, unpredictable costs and large uncertainty over benefits • Emerging evidence internationally and from Ghana suggests it is better to focus resources on economy wide reforms rather than geographically delimited areas • BCR of future SEZs is likely less than 1 • Tax and infrastructure incentives of SEZs are insufficient to attract FDI. Labor, skills, non-economic infrastructure such as schools are key e.g. see concentration of business in Accra and Tema
  • 11. SUMMARY BCR TABLE Interventions Benefit per year Cost per year BCR Mining, processing,and transformation ofbauxite into alumina and aluminium 2287m USD per year 2136m USD per year 1.07 Special Economic Zones NA NA <1
