Moody's maintains Oman Baa1 rating with Stable Outlook Oman is rated Baa1 by Moody’s which represents secure investing in the country and its high ability to pay off debts. The stable outlook illustrates the anticipated resilience of Oman’s rating over the next 12‐18 months and signals the balance between upward and downward pressure on the economy. Moody's expects Oman's 2017 fiscal deficit to narrow substantially to RO 3.1 billion (US$ 8.1 billion, 11.4% of GDP) from an estimated RO 5.0 billion (US$ 13.0 billion, 20.1% of GDP) in 2016, and fiscal deficits will continue to decline gradually over the following years. (Source: Moody’s) Outlook for the upcoming week… The GCC markets ended on a mixed note during Q1 2017 amid strong outperformance trend seen in Kuwait (Price Index gained 22% QTD) and Bahrain market (+11% QTD) after long time. While all other regional markets ended on a negative note. Omani equities had revealed a decline of 4% QTD amid the stocks getting adjusted fully to the dividends. We anticipate the local and the GCC equities to open in green for the first trading day of Q2 2017 and to take cues from stable global market sentiments and also the oil prices. We do expect the market to watch out keenly for the dividend reinvestment and also cues from the upcoming earnings season. Key concern would remain on low investor participation. On the technical perspective, MSM Index to see strong support closer to 5,510 points. Source: MSM, GBCM Research Page | 1
