A data driven approach to policy and regulatory analysis…. |
The mining, metals, and fertilizer value chains are critical to economic development across many countries. These sectors are commonly a major source of tax and export revenues, employment and are broader enablers of key development goals such as industrialisation and urbanisation.
Our value chains are often under the sharp focus of policy makers, not least given the complex economic, societal, governance and environmental issues which they present. However, effective commodity and mining policy development and implementation is often particularly challenging, not least given the complex interactions between public policies and these industries, and the often opaque nature of the natural resources sectors.
CRU Consulting enable more informed policy development and implementation, drawing on its unique combination of data, independent value chain expertise and knowledge of the complex linkages which exist between different public policies, industry decision making and broader economic, environmental and societal outcomes.
We have supported numerous national and state level governments, international financial institutions, parastatal entities and independent policy researchers to make more informed commodity policy decisions and analysis, spanning both resource exporting and importing jurisdictions in the Americas, Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as Asia and Australasia.
Here’s a snapshot of the ways in which CRU Consulting can help:
Fiscal policy, revenue and pricing analysis
We provide cutting edge, independent tax policy analysis including evaluation, benchmarking and risk analysis around government take and revenue forecasts. We help limit revenue risks on behalf of finance and mining ministries as well as tax administrators, including through the provision of robust transfer arms0length pricing advice, tools and methodologies.
