  • Market Update 2017
    JUN Market Update 2017 Qatar’s Diplomatic Gulf Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Egypt severed ties with Qatar on 5 June, which included the expulsion of Qatari citizens from all these countries but Egypt. The Saudi-led coalition has cited Qatar’s financial and political support for radical Islamic terrorism as a reason for ostracising the country. The coalition has also called for an end to construc- tive relations with Iran, with which Qatar is jointly developing the world’s largest gas field. Tensions have escalated following an attack on 7 June on Iran’s parliament, with the Islamic State claiming responsibility. Qatar’s small landmass belies its strategic role (Exhibit 1). It is home to the most important US military base in the Middle East, is a major regional air hub, and is the world’s largest producer of liquefied natural gas (LNG). We believe a diplomatic solu- tion to the current suspension in international relations is possible, as Qatar has come to the negotiating table in the past, most recently in 2014 when diplomatic relations were severed with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain. In this update, our analysts in Dubai evaluate the economic and trade aspects of this regional strife that they believe will be focal points for decision makers over the coming months. Exhibit 1 Qatar Is Strategically Located Jordan Iraq Pakistan Kuwait Iran Persian Gulf Bahrain Straut of Qatar Hormuz Gulf of Oman Egypt United Arab Red Saudi Arabia Emirates Sea Oman Arabian Sea Sudan Yemen Source: Lazard Immediate Concerns The Arabian Peninsula is home to the world’s largest contiguous sand desert, the Empty Quarter, and is largely unsuitable for growing crops.

  • Shareek Investment Program
    ASSET MANAGEMENT Shareek investment program AMD | March 31, 2021 ASSET MANAGEMENT SHAREEK INVESTMENT PROGRAM AMD | March 31, 2021 Saudi Crown Prince launches new program to strengthen private sector partnership as total investments will stand at SAR 12 trillion until 2030 Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman launched a program ‘Shareek’ to strengthen partnership with the private sector announced during a virtual meeting with business leaders, heads of major companies in Saudi Arabia and ministers. The launch of program comes at a very important juncture for Saudi Arabia as the economy is in a positive transition. The program aims to enhance the competitiveness, resilience and capacities of the private sector companies both regionally and globally. It will also act as a stimulus for companies who are set to receive support to recover from the impact of the pandemic. This massive and visionary investment program will help the public and private sector to work in cohesion towards achieving the objectives of Vision 2030. About Shareek (‘Partner’) Program: Shareek is a collaborative program designed to strengthen the partnership with the private sector. The private sector Shareek program is part of the investment program totalling SAR 12 trillion into the Saudi economy by 2030. This includes SAR 3 trillion investment from Public Investment Fund (PIF), and SAR 4 trillion under the national investment strategy. The above investment plan is independent of the Saudi government expenditure that is slated to reach SAR 10 trillion and the private consumer spending that is expected to stand at SAR 5 trillion by 2030. Therefore, of the SAR 27 trillion riyals spending and investment program over the next ten years, 90% will be provided by the Saudi government, funds and companies.

  • Fuel, Food and Utilities Price Reforms in the GCC a Wake-Up Call for Business Fuel, Food and Utilities Price Reforms in the GCC: a Wake-Up Call for Business
    Research Paper Glada Lahn Energy, Environment and Resources Department | June 2016 Fuel, Food and Utilities Price Reforms in the GCC A Wake-up Call for Business Fuel, Food and Utilities Price Reforms in the GCC: A Wake-up Call for Business Summary • A period of lower global oil prices is enabling oil-exporting Gulf countries to reform heavily suppressed energy, water and food prices at home. While fuel prices in those countries remain well below international market levels, rises of between 60 per cent and 133 per cent have, in some cases, taken place overnight. • Continued reforms will have wide-ranging implications for business and the political economy – particularly in the largest of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, Saudi Arabia, which is accustomed to some of the lowest fuel and utility bills in the world. • Changes to domestic gas and diesel prices will affect, above all, industry; of particular significance is the separation of the price of ethane from that of sales gas in Saudi Arabia and the prospect of gas contract revision in the United Arab Emirates. • Higher fuel prices should drive increased efficiency in the power and water sectors. However, patterns of allocation and financial transfers within government, in some countries, mean that step changes will be incentivized only through the further unbundling of utilities. • It is worth taking a ‘nexus’ view of price reforms. Transport fuel and water price revisions in Saudi Arabia will affect the logistics sector and agribusiness and these changes will begin to trickle down into retail products, raising the prospect of further inflation and measures to limit it.
