Correction of expectations and rationalization of announced investments projects – – – – Cost increases, in particular energy costs. Expectations of downward adjustments in world metal prices. Impact of European financial crisis. Increasing number of socio-environmental conflicts. 2. Social impact of increased rents? – – – – Earmarked use of Mining and Oil/Gas fiscal receipts? Indirect: Improved fiscal balances enable increased social spending? Indirect: Improved macroeconomic stability, debt reduction? vs. currency appreciation? Increased investment in Mining and Oil/Gas associated with increasing socio/environmental conflicts in the region. Oil prices rise, but investment in drilling activity falls. Production/consumption ratio and reserves fall. Oil Price boom, but production costs also rise.

Within Lat. America resource exporters tend to lower tax burdens.

Under current contract rules. • Price cycle does not generate investment boom • Decreasing production /consumption ratios and reserves • Rising production costs. • POLICY CHALLENGE: How to mobilize required investment to meet energy demand???
