  6. Oman News Oman Fisheries plans ‘end-to-end’ hub in Muscat (Source: Oman Observer)  Oman Fisheries Co says it plans to establish an integrated fisheries hub at Ghala in Muscat Governorate that will serve as an ‘iconic destination’ for the fisheries industry in Oman and the wider Gulf region.  The ambitious initiative is a key part of the company’s strategy to build on an impressive turnaround in its financial and operational performance that has seen Oman Fisheries turning a profit for the first time after four successive years in the red.  Net profit for the financial year ended March 31, 2017 soared to RO 1.652 million versus a loss of nearly RO 0.455 million posted a year earlier.  “The turnaround has been quite commendable considering the global and regional economic downturn due to oil price volatility, which has affected most of the companies in Oman and also to a great extent the agricultural sector,” commented Oman Fisheries CEO Dr Khalid Mansoor al Zadjali, in a management review of the company’s 2016-2017 performance.  In the review, Dr Al Zadjali outlined his vision for positioning OFC, currently in the final year of a three-year Strategic Growth Plan, for profitability over the long term. Notable is a proposal to develop its Ghala facility into an integrated end-to-end destination for fish processing. The proposed project is part of a raft of initiatives envisaged for “rapid implementation”.  At the same time, OFC is ramping up its processing, refrigeration and storage capacity in line with its growth ambitions. A shuttered plant in Buraimi has been reopened and is slated to come into commercial operation later this month.  Similarly, the warehousing capacity of its wholly owned subsidiary, Al Ameen Refrigeration, is being expanded to 9,000 metric tonnes, up from 6,000 metric tonnes presently. The expanded facility is due to be commissioned next month.  Additionally, the size of the company’s fishing fleet, deployed in the seas off Oman’s southern coast, has been boosted to 13 vessels, he stated.

The issuance is rated Baa1 (stable) by Moody’s and BBB (stable) by Fitch.  Given the strong indications of interest received from the market after the initial price thoughts at mid-swap plus 300 bps (basis points), the bond received an oversubscription of eight times, and therefore, the pricing was tightened by 15 bps to Mid-swaps + 285 bps.  At the issuance stage, it was oversubscribed by 6.5 times reflecting a positive market perception for OETC’s credit and Oman Government.

  9. MSM - Market Watch Source : Bloomberg, GBCM Research Market Outlook – Volatility in the markets to continue… During the last trading week, we saw mixed closing among the GCC markets with the underperformance seen in Qatar and Oman. Saudi, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain closed the week almost flat while DFM closed in a positive territory. We expect the MSM and the regional equities to open on a flat note for the week on volatile oil prices and to see stock specific activity. We recommend investors to stick to the frontline stocks which provides comfort and also anticipate the overall market participation to remain dull. GBCM Morning Briefing 9
