ï· Qatar infrastructure spending to touch $24bn in 2014 â
According to the organizers of the 11th Annual Qatar Projects
Conference, scheduled next month, Qatar will see a significant
rise in project activity in 2014 with contract awards expected to
peak at $24bn. After successfully completing a 20-year
investment program to develop its natural gas resources in
2011, Qatar has embarked on an infrastructure investment
program in its non-oil and gas sectors driven by the Qatar
National Vision 2030. The Qatari projects market accelerated in
2013, overtaking the UAE in terms of contract awards midway
through the year with $12.2bn in new awards, the bulk of which
came from the multi-billion-dollar tunneling contracts awarded as
part of the Doha metro project. Qatar, which plans to grow its
downstream sector with investment over $13bn, currently has
$16.5bn worth of upstream oil schemes at various pre-execution
phases. (Gulf-Times.com)
ï· IQCD Announces Significant Dividend Boost Despite a
Weak 4Q2013 â IQCD reported Weaker-than-expected 4Q2013
results that missed our estimates/consensus. IQCD reported
QR1.67bn in net income (-5% QoQ, -6% YoY) vs. our estimate
of QR1.98bn and Reuters consensus of QR1.99bn. A drop in
steel revenue and margins versus our estimates along with a
slightly weaker-than-expected fertilizer performance more than
offset better-than-forecast petrochemical revenue and profits.
Overall group EBITDA declined by around 5% sequentially to
QR1.7bn. Petrochemicals benefited from improved pricing and
increase in LDPE sales volumes. Revenue of QR1.5bn
increased by ~9% QoQ with net profit dropping by ~2% to
around QR1bn. Improvement in LDPE prices along with LDPE
sales volume growth due to the timing of specific shipments
(despite down production due to 29 days of shutdowns vs. 18
days in 3Q2013) led to the improved performance relative to our
model. Fertilizers were affected by flattish urea prices offsetting
improved sales volume. Revenue of QAR1.3bn increased
around 4% QoQ with urea sales volume sequentially gaining by
100k tons. Net profit of QR323mn (-3% QoQ), was slightly below
our model. Sales volumes improved despite a number of
planned and unplanned shut-downs (ammonia: 29 days, urea:
44 days) and made up for static urea selling prices that
remained mostly flat during the quarter. According to IQCD, its
urea prices declined by +$100/MT since beginning -2013 to
close at a 3-year low of $293/MT. Steel segment benefits from
sequential growth in re-bar sales volume. Revenue of QAR1.4bn
increased~3% QoQ with moderate sequential volume growth.
Net income, however, dropped 23% QoQ driven by increased
raw material costs. Significant positive surprise on dividends.
IQCDâs BoD proposed a DPS of QR11.00 vs. our estimate of
QR9.00 and Bloomberg consensus of QR8.71. We have long
held the view that upside to dividend expectations is possible
given lack of significant capex needs and a bullet-proof balance
sheet (QR5.7bn in net cash as of 2013). We will await more
color if such a high level of payout (83% for 2013) is sustainable
going forward. We continue to favor IQCD as a long-term play.
With major expansions now complete, significant costPage 2 of 5
3. advantaged volume growth in fertilizers/petrochemicals should
continue to aid in FCF generation. We continue to believe that
upside to our dividend expectations and/or new expansions is
possible over the medium term. (IQCD Press Release, QNBFS

ï· Chinaâs ICBC weighs Mid-east acquisitions to boost profit â
The Industrial & Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) stated that it
will consider acquisitions in the Middle East as part of its plans
to boost earnings from the region by 50% this year. ICBCâs CEO
for the Middle East, Zhou Xiaodong said ICBC is seeking new
acquisition opportunities since acquisitions are the reason why
ICBC grew so fast in Hong Kong. Zhou said ICBC is seeking to
triple its overseas earnings until 2016 by targeting more
business from Middle Eastern companies after previously
focusing on Chinese firms in the region. The bank plans to open
retail branches in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. ICBC lent
$600mn to regional clients including Emirates Airline, Qatar
Airways and DEWA in 2013. In 2014, the bank is seeking to
boost lending to Dubai real estate projects, energy companies in
Abu Dhabi and infrastructure work in Qatar. In January, it
advanced $201mn to Dubai-based real estate investment
company SKAI Holdings for the development of a hotel on the
Palm Jumeirah. (Bloomberg)
ï· BoJ mulls refraining from 2015 monetary-base forecast â
According to sources, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) is considering to
refrain from issuing a monetary-base forecast for 2015 to avoid

period. Sources added that when the BoJ unveiled
unprecedented easing in April 2013, it said the monetary base
will rise to 270tn yen ($2.65tn) by the end of 2014, however,
now the central bank may avoid issuing any update for coming
years. The BoJ is forecasted to leave its policy unchanged at its
upcoming meeting even after a report indicated weaker-thanforecast growth in the fourth quarter. (Bloomberg)
ï· BoE: jobs, incomes, wages to be factored into any rate rise
â The Bank of Englandâs (BoE) Governor Mark Carney said the
central bank will only start to increase interest rates when a
range of measures suggest the UK economy is operating at
closer to full capacity. Earlier, the BoE stated that it would look
at a broader range of measures of slack in the economy than
just the unemployment rate when considering rate rise, and that
it was in no rush to raise rates. Carney said both the path of
monetary policy and the path of interest rates are going to be
calibrated carefully to ensure that adjustments are made only
when a sustainable growth in jobs, incomes and spending is
visible. (Reuters)

ï· QNB Group: Saudi non-oil private sector key growth driver
in 2014 â According to a report by QNB Group, the non-oil
private sector in Saudi Arabia is expected to be the key growth
driver in 2014, boosted by large public sector infrastructure
investment and the rapidly growing population. Saudi Arabia has
been one of the best performing G20 economies in recent years
with its real GDP growth averaging 5.9% per year during 200813. Saudi authorities recently announced the 2014 state budget
plan, projecting another expansionary budget to continue the
process of diversifying the economy. Based on a conservative
oil price assumption of $80 per barrel, government revenues
and expenditures are expected to be $228bn in 2014. The
budget includes substantial outlays for education, health and
infrastructure, despite the expected declines in oil revenues. The
preliminary macroeconomic data suggests that the overall
economic growth slowed to 3.8% YoY in 2013 owing to a
decline in oil output. Meanwhile, non-oil growth grew by a robust
5.0% YoY in 2013 as consecutive years of government
spending lifted business and consumer confidence and banks'
comfort in lending. QNB said that the budget announcement
indicated that the fastest growing sectors in 2013 were:
construction (8.1%), followed by transport & communication
(7.2%), and retail (6.1%). (Gulf-Times.com)

ï· Kuwaiti oil refineries still at shutdown risk â Oil refineries in
Kuwait risk further shutdowns due to the poor power supply
system in the country. The reason behind the power failure that
caused three of the country's oil refineries with a total capacity
of around 930,000 bpd to go offline last month is still unclear.
The incident however points out that the fault lies in the state
electricity supplier, and not electrical faults in the refineries
themselves. Kuwait refines around a third of its crude oil
production of 3mn bpd and exports around 660,000 bpd of those
petroleum products. (Bloomberg)
