Abstract
MTEGHA, H.D. and OSHOKOYA, O.. Mining fiscal environment in the SADC: status after harmonization attempts. J. S. Afr. Inst. Min. Metall. [online]. 2011, vol.111, n.7, pp.455-458. ISSN 2411-9717.
The Southern African Development Community (SADC) aims to harmonize mineral policies and regulatory regimes in the minerals sector. This paper provides a review of the progress made towards harmonization of mineral regimes in the region. It singles out only the mining fiscal environment, as this is normally one of the key issues of interest to potential investors as well as the host state. Indications are that the region is slowly progressing towards a more harmonized approach, and there is evidence that the 'race to the bottom' has been prevented, which is the basis for an integrated mineral sector that the region aspires to.
