  1. Weekly Investment Report Sunday , April 22, 2018 Economic & Market News Reuters: Global growth will keep a steady pace this year and next year, buoyed by stronger trade and U.S. fiscal stimulus that will fade by the early 2020s, while increased tariffs could damage market confidence and output, according to the IMF. The IMF kept its 2018 and 2019 global growth forecasts unchanged at 3.9% for both years after upgrades in January. The IMF said it raised its U.S. growth forecast by 0.2% points for both years, to 2.9% for 2018 and 2.7% for 2019. It said lower U.S. corporate income tax rates and accelerated investments due to a temporary tax break would boost U.S. growth through 2020, but these effects would then reverse quickly, causing a slowdown. Forecasts were cut slightly for Canada, the MENA countries, as well as a number of low-income developing countries. Risks to the global growth forecasts were broadly balanced for the next few quarters, with the potential for stronger business profits to increase hiring and investments that could boost productivity. But trade tensions, such as the US and China's recent tariff announcements, could take a direct toll on trade and the economic activity and also cause a financial market turmoil that would tighten financial conditions and hurt confidence. Zawya: Growth in Abu Dhabi and Dubai will remain at a sustained level of approximately 3% over the next few years, if oil prices remain stable around current levels; growth is predicted to be steady, albeit modest when compared with over 4% per annum achieved pre-2015, according to Fisch Asset Management (Fisch). A report by Independent Credit Review (I-CV), a subsidiary of Fisch, confirmed Abu Dhabi’s credit quality as AA-, with the emirate benefitting from comfortable reserves, but with a forecast of a slightly negative national budget and rising debt levels over the coming years. Dubai received an upgrade to BBB+, stemming from a gradual reduction in total debt, including contingent obligations from state-owned companies, from 141% at the end of 2013 to 111% at the end of 2016. The selective introduction of import tariffs and VAT will not negatively impact the economic growth in the emirates but will instead support the fiscal situation in light of lower oil-related activities, according to the report. The UAE’s debt position is considered by the report to have been gradually defused since the 2008 crisis in Dubai, primarily due to robust GDP growth over the last few years. However, debt among state-owned companies is considered to be a risk factor. Al Masah Capital: Global markets have ended higher during the week as strong earnings and positive developments on the economic front boosted sentiments. Further, oil prices continued to maintain the positive momentum with gains of 2.0% W-o-W to reach USD 74.06 per barrel at the end of the week. Going forward, investors will continue to take cues from first quarter earnings, which will help accessing the overall economic environment and further substantiate the optimistic outlook highlighted during the fourth quarter of 2017. On the regional front, the sentiments were mostly positive during the week as five out of the eight indexes ending in green, while three were in the negative territory. Saudi Arabia was the best performer, recording gains of 5.8% during the week, as the index continues to remain the most preferred market, supported by continued funds inflow. The gains recorded during the week added to YTD performance of 14.5%, the second best in the region. Kuwait and Dubai continued to remain under pressure as both markets ended lower by 0.5% and 0.4%, respectively, for the week. Regional investors will remain index biased unless the strong first quarter earnings warrant a change in perception.

  2. Weekly Investment Report Sunday , April 22, 2018 Economic & Market News (continued) Zawya: According to the IMF, Saudi Arabia’s economy will grow 1.6% in 2018, ahead of earlier 1.1% forecasts and in stark contrast to the contraction of the economy that took place in the prior year. The increase in activity within the local hiring market with added dynamism compared to the previous years. Driven largely by Saudi Vision 2030 and shifts in legislative requirements, the economy is moving rapidly away from its former reliance on the oil and gas sector with growing opportunities across a number of other industries. The most noticeable area of uplift is with the hiring of Saudi nationals across all sectors and the added opportunities for females in the employment market. The Kingdom’s e-commerce is set to continue as one of the busiest industries for available jobs in the coming months, particularly with regards to online retail, a main focus for all types of businesses operating in the region. The entertainments industry in itself represents a significant opportunity in the Kingdom with positive implications for hiring across a number of different job categories. Overall, it is clear that the business landscape in Saudi Arabia is at a significant turning point with huge and unprecedented opportunities for business ahead. Reuters: Japan’s exports rose less than expected in March due to a strong yen, raising some concern about the outlook for shipments on top of anxiety over Washington’s criticism of the nation’s large trade surplus with the U.S. While the trade surplus with the U.S. narrowed slightly by 0.2% YoY to USD 5.82 billion in March, it was still sizable enough to draw criticism from Trump. The backdrop of rising trade tensions, stoked by the bitter US-China tariff standoff, have roiled financial markets as investors worried about their impact on the global growth. Growth in export-reliant Japan could be undermined in the event of a hit to world trade, or if the U.S. seeks measures to lower its trade deficit with the world’s third-biggest economy. In March, the shipments grew by 2.1% from the same period a year ago, below the 4.7% annual increase expected by Reuters. In February, exports grew by 1.8 %. The yen was 6.3% higher versus the dollar in March compared to the same period a year ago. This weighed on the value of Japan’s exports. The U.S. president has imposed tariffs on steel and aluminium imports, which will affect Japanese companies, and has also criticised Japan for its low number of U.S. auto imports. Japan’s exports to the European Union slowed sharply to a 0.3% annual increase in March from an 11.5% increase in February, which could raise some concern about demand from Europe. In one positive sign, Japan’s exports to China jumped 10.8% in March from a year ago, rebounding from a 9.7% decline in February as factories resumed operations after the Lunar New Year holidays. Economists expect Japan’s exports to expand at a slower pace than last year due to a tapering off in demand for semiconductors and electronic parts. Zawya: The non-oil economy improved in 2017, with growth exceeding expectations. The rebound has come from project spending and a recovering consumer sector. Data thus far in 2018 continued to indicate that the recovery in consumer activity is robust. Meanwhile, the solid U.S. economy saw the Fed raise interest rates again in March, with the Central Bank of Kuwait deciding to do the same to keep interest rates margins narrow and to maintain the stability of the currency. The non-oil economy grew by 3.3% in 2017, up from 2% the year before and slightly stronger than our 3% forecast. The pace of growth slowed slightly in 4Q17 to 2.4% YoY, but overall the economy has continued to recover from the sharp slowdown in late-2014 and 2015. The trend is expected to continue in 2018 and 2019, with non-oil growth seen accelerating to 3.5% and 4%, respectively.
