 QCB’s Governor: Qatar does not see much risk to domestic stock
market from global volatility – Qatar does not expect much risk
to the domestic stock market from global markets’ volatility,
due to the country’s favorable macroeconomic fundamentals,
according to Qatar Central Bank’s (QCB) Governor, HE Sheikh
Abdullah Bin Saoud Al-Thani. “We have been closely observing
the global market conditions, especially after the trade tensions
between the US and China. However, the domestic equity
market so far remained insulated from the global
developments,” he said in the context of the forthcoming
Euromoney Qatar Conference 2018. In fact, he noted, the Qatar
Stock Exchange (QSE) registered the strongest gain in the GCC
region during the year so far. The QSE index moved back to the
pre-blockade level. Apart from the improvement in
macroeconomic fundamentals, the rise in QSE is primarily
driven by the foreign investors and their positive outlook of
Qatar economy, he added. The tightening financial market
conditions have mainly impacted those emerging market
economies (EMEs) which are facing the problem of twin deficits
(current account and fiscal position). On whether Qatar’s plans
to develop a more liquid market have evolved as the GCC capital
flows are restricted, the Governor said, “The capital inflows to
Qatar are more broad-based and are not restricted to the GCC
region. Irrespective of all the developments in the GCC, Qatar
will continue its efforts for the development of financial market
by making it more liquid and encouraging global investors.”

profitability & efficiency, funding & liquidity and government
support. Qatar is among the two countries in the region which
ticked all these boxes as ‘Stable’ in Moody’s outlook for the GCC
banks. The rating agency noted Qatari banks are most reliant
on confidence-sensitive foreign funding, along with Bahrain, in
the region. Current oil prices will support increased government
spending, and stimulus packages such as Qatar’s 2022 FIFA
World Cup, and will underpin banks’ stable financial
performance, according to Moody’s Vice President-Senior Credit
Officer, Nitish Bhojnagarwala. (Peninsula Qatar)
 Qatar's Central Bank issues QR700mn of treasury bills – Qatar's
Central Bank stated it sold QR700mn of treasury bills with

 Nikkei Qatar Financial Center PMI falls to 47.5 in November –
Nikkei and IHS Markit released Qatar’s November Financial
Center Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI), which fell to 47.5 in
November 2018 from 48 in October 2018 and 52.7 in November
2017. This is the lowest reading since June 2017 and the third
consecutive month of contraction. (Bloomberg)
 Foreign flows favor Qatar – Overseas institutional investors
were net buyers of about $2.3bn of shares traded on Doha’s
bourse this year, more than triple the foreign flows into Riyadh,
according to stock-exchange data compiled by Bloomberg.
Inflows have picked up in Qatar this year after several large-cap
companies announced they were easing limits on foreign
ownership, prompting an adjustment of their weighting in
benchmarks used by emerging-market fund managers. In Saudi
Arabia, overseas investors were net buyers of as much as $3bn
at a peak in June, but that figure fell to around $700mn through
the end of the year. (Peninsula Qatar)
 Panel to regulate non-Qatari ownership of real estate – The

 MBA: US mortgage activity rises near two-month high – US
borrowers filed the most mortgage applications in nearly two
months as 30-year home loan costs fell to their lowest levels
since early October, the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA)
stated. The Washington-based group’s seasonally-adjusted
measures on consumer requests for a loan to buy a home and to
refinance an existing one rose 2.0% to 340.5 in the week ended
November 30. This was the strongest reading since 346.7 in the
week of October 5. Mortgage rates have fallen in step with
lower US Treasury yields on worries about slowing economic
growth and trade tension between China and the US, the
world’s two biggest economies. (Reuters)
 Tariff effects broaden across US, wage growth higher – Tariff-
driven price increases have spread more broadly through the US
economy, though on balance inflation has risen at a modest
pace in most parts of the country, the Federal Reserve stated in
its latest report on the economy. The US Central Bank’s ‘Beige
Book’ report, a snapshot of the economy gleaned from
discussions with business contacts in the Fed’s 12 districts in
the weeks through November 26, also stated that the economy
appeared to be growing modestly to moderately. While a wide
range of businesses cited concerns about the effects of a trade
war between the US and China, firms continued to hire and
reported bumping up benefits and pay to compete for an
increasingly scarce labor pool. (Reuters)
 Shock slide in the UK’s services PMI points to stalling economy
– Uncertainty about the terms of Brexit next March clobbered
British services firms last month, leaving the economy at risk of
contracting, a survey showed. The IHS Markit/CIPS UK
Services Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) fell to 50.4 from
52.2 in October, the weakest reading since just after the 2016
Brexit vote and below all forecasts in a Reuters poll of
economists. Watched closely by the Bank of England, the PMI
suggested Britain’s economy is on track for quarterly growth of
just 0.1% in the final three months of 2018, IHS Markit stated, a
sharp slowdown from 0.6% in the third quarter. (Reuters)
 CBI: The UK’s economy risks severe damage without orderly
Brexit – Britain will struggle to achieve even modest economic
growth next year unless the government secures an orderly
Brexit in March, the Confederation of British Industry (CBI)
stated. CBI stated the world’s fifth-largest economy would
grow by 1.3% in 2018, 1.4% in 2019 and 1.6% in 2020, little
changed from its previous projections in June. The forecasts
were slightly weaker than those of the Bank of England. CBI
stated that it was assuming that Prime Minister Theresa May
wins backing in parliament for her preferred plan for leaving the

on December 11. (Reuters)
 Japan manufacturers' mood down, bodes ill for BoJ survey –
Confidence among Japanese manufacturers worsened for a
second straight month in December and is seen slipping further,
a Reuters monthly poll showed, pointing to declines in the
central bank’s upcoming tankan business survey. The monthly
poll, which tracks the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) key tankan
quarterly survey, found service-sector sentiment inched up in
December but was expected to slip again in the coming three
months - a sign business confidence is leveling off. Confidence
at both manufacturers and service businesses was lower
compared with three months ago, boding ill for the BoJ tankan
survey due out on December 14. (Reuters)
 RBI keeps rates on hold, moves to spur lending – The Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) kept interest rates unchanged, in a decision
that was widely expected as inflation has eased significantly,
while it took steps to persuade banks to lend more in order to
support an economy that has lost some momentum. The
decision to keep the repo rate unchanged at 6.50% was as
predicted by 64 of 70 analysts in a Reuters poll. The central
bank also retained its ‘calibrated tightening’ stance as expected.
The government, which has been at loggerheads with the
central bank in recent weeks amid a slowdown in economic
growth, stated it welcomed the monetary policy committee’s
assessment but it believed the policy stance probably required
calibration, suggesting it may be unhappy with the RBI
retaining its tightening bias. (Reuters)
 Strong domestic demand takes India’s November services
growth to four-month high – Business activity in India’s
dominant services sector expanded in November at the quickest
pace in four months, lifted by significant rise in domestic
demand, a private survey showed. This will offer some relief to
Asia’s third-largest economy, which last week reported slower
economic growth in the July-September quarter. The
Nikkei/IHS Markit Services Purchasing Managers’ Index rose to
53.7 last month from 52.2 in October, its highest since July and
above a Reuters poll consensus of 52.5. (Reuters)

 Moody's: GCC banks' stable outlook reflects improving
operating conditions and strong capital buffers – The outlook
for GCC banking systems remains stable, reflecting their
improving operating conditions, weakening but still solid loan
performance and strong capital, Moody's Investors Service
stated in a report. The Moody's 2019 outlook expresses the
rating agency's expectation of how banks' creditworthiness will
evolve over the next 12 to 18 months in the GCC. "Current oil
prices will support increased government spending, and
stimulus packages such as the UAE's Expo 2020, the Saudi
National Transformation Plan and Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022,
will underpin banks' stable financial performance," Moody's
Vice President, Senior Credit Officer, Nitish Bhojnagarwala
said. A return to rising oil production after production cuts in
2017-2018 will drive real GDP growth next year to an average of
around 3.3%, from 1% in 2017, easing fiscal pressures as well as
keep government spending plans on track. (Moody’s)
 OPEC+ recommends oil cuts, but no deal yet on the size of curbs
– Saudi Arabia, Russia and other members of the OPEC+ group
recommended an oil production cut, but they have not agreed
on how big any reduction should be. The group secured the
participation of Russia for six months of output curbs starting
in January, Oman’s Oil Minister, Mohammed Al Rumhy told
reporters. (Bloomberg)
 IATA: Middle Eastern airlines’ freight volumes rise 5% in
October – Middle Eastern airlines’ freight volumes expanded 5%
in October compared to the same period a year earlier,
International Air Transport Association (IATA) stated in a
report. Capacity increased by 8.8% over the same period. There
are signs of a pick-up in seasonally-adjusted international air
cargo demand, helped by more trade to and from Europe and
Asia, it stated. Releasing data for global air freight markets
IATA stated that the demand, measured in freight ton
kilometers (FTKs), rose 3.1% in October 2018, compared to the
same period the year before. This pace of growth was up from a
29-month low of 2.5% in September. (Gulf-Times.com)
 Saudi Arabia working on convincing Russia to join oil cuts –
Saudi Arabia is seeking to persuade Russia to cut oil production
substantially with OPEC next year in an attempt to arrest a
decline in the price of crude and prevent another global glut.
Saudi Arabia has indicated it wants OPEC and its allies to cut
output by at least 1.3mn barrels per day, or 1.3% of global
production. Saudi Arabia wants Russia to contribute at least
250,000-300,000 bpd to the cut but Russia insists the amount
should be only half of that, OPEC and non-OPEC sources said.

 Economy Minister: UAE’s economy to grow more than 3% in
2019 – The UAE’s economy will grow between 2.5% and 3% in

Economy Minister, Sultan bin Saeed al-Mansouri, told reporters.
The latest projections are in line with forecasts made by the
International Monetary Fund (IMF), which stated in October

 UAE’s economic growth gains speed as job growth moderates –
The UAE’s real GDP growth continued to pick up momentum in
the first three quarters of 2018 and is expected to keep up the
pace for the rest of the year while employment growth in the
country is expected to be modest, according to the Quarterly
Economic Review of the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) for
the third quarter of 2018. Due to the increase in oil output and
higher oil prices this year, the central bank report stated that
the UAE’s real growth showed an increase of 3.1% in the third
quarter of 2018 year on year compared to a moderate 2.1%
