Qatar’s real GDP growth accelerated to 6.5% in 2013 on
strong investment and higher population – Qatar’s economy
continued to maintain its strong growth momentum in the fourth
quarter of 2013. Qatar’s real GDP expanded at a buoyant 5.6%
(year-on-year) in the last three months of 2013, spurred by
double-digit growth in construction, wholesale trade and
hospitality, and financial, real estate, and business services,
according to figures released by the Ministry of Development
Planning and Statistics (MDPS). For 2013 as a whole, real GDP
grew 6.5%, in line with QNB Group’s forecast (see Qatar
Economic Insight report). QNB Group expects real GDP growth
to accelerate to 6.8% in 2014 as the implementation of large
infrastructure projects and higher population continue to drive
double-digit growth in the non-hydrocarbon sector. The growth
figures for the fourth quarter of 2013 confirm the continued
process of economic diversification of Qatar’s economy away
from its traditional role as a hydrocarbon exporter toward a
manufacturing and services hub. The oil and gas sector
contracted by 1.1% year-on-year in 4Q2013, reflecting a fall in
oil production, the temporary halt of a number of LNG trains for
maintenance, as well as the moratorium on further exploration of
the North Field. At the same time, wholesale trade, hotels and
restaurants was the fastest growing sector (19.3% year-on-
year), predominantly on the back of the double-digit increase in
population. Financial, real estate, and business services was the

LR2 to enhance condensate refining capacity in 2016 – HH
the Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani laid the foundation
stone for the new Laffan Refinery (LR2) expansion project at
Ras Laffan, which will effectively double Qatar’s condensate
refining capacity. Being built at an estimated cost of QR5.5bn,
the LR2 project will raise capacity to 300,000 bpd after its
completion in 2016. LR2 is a JV among Qatar Petroleum (QP),
Total, Idemitsu, Cosmo, Marubeni and Mitsui, with QP holding
an 84% stake and Total holding 10%. As in the case of LR1,
LR2 will also be operated by Qatargas and will process 146,000
barrels per stream day (bpsd) of condensate feedstock. Both
LR1 and LR2 combined will make the Ras Laffan facility the
largest condensate refinery in the world. Upon completion of
LR2, Qatar will have the capacity to process nearly 40% of the
condensate from the North Field into high quality products.

ERES’ QR4.5bn Wakrah project will be ready by 2017 –
Ezdan Holding Group (ERES) said its QR4.5bn residential
project comprising 11,000 residential units in Al Wakrah will be
completed by 2017. The Group CEO Ali al-Obaidly said that the
housing project, which is being built in partnership with SAK

portfolio. Meanwhile, ERES’ shareholders approved the

strategically diversify its business. ERES’ CEO Ali Al-Obaidly

Reuters: Solid US job growth expected for March as winter
fades – Job growth in the US is likely to have accelerated in
March 2014 as the winter's gloom started to lift, providing the
strongest signal yet that economic growth was shifting into
higher gear. According to a Reuters poll of economists, non-
farm payrolls probably increased by 200,000, which is the
largest gain in four months. Hiring advanced by 175,000 jobs in
February and the unemployment rate is expected to have
dropped to 6.6%. The anticipated gain in employment would
take job growth back near the 204,000 monthly average that
prevailed during the first 11 months of 2013. (Reuters)
Japan firms see inflation taking root in boost to BoJ –
Japanese companies forecasted that price gains will be
sustained over the next five years, indicating confidence in
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s bid to end deflation. The Bank of
Japan (BoJ) said inflation will grow up to 1.7% in 3 years time
after rising 1.5% over the next 12 months. Rising inflation
expectations were the strongest among small companies that
employ more than two-thirds of Japan’s workers and are feeling
a crunch from a tightening labor market. The progress in
shaking off deflationary malaise could reduce the chances of
additional monetary stimulus and fuel debate on how to manage
an economy with sustained price gains. (Bloomberg)
ECB finds no deflation as recovery gains – The European
Central Bank’s (ECB) Vice President Vitor Constancio said the
Eurozone is likely to avoid outright deflation as a soft economic
recovery gradually reduces spare capacity in the economy.
Constancio said the prospects for inflation are a cause for
concern, after figures showed Eurozone’s inflation had slowed in
March to 0.5%, the lowest level in more than four years. The
Frankfurt-based central bank will be soon have its monthly
monetary-policy meeting against a backdrop of improving
economic data with gains in prices lagging behind. ECB
President Mario Draghi has predicted that the recovery will
eventually push inflation toward the ECB’s target of around 2%.

OPEC output falls due to Iraqi exports setback, African
outages – The OPEC’s oil output fell in March 2014 to its lowest
since December, as Iraq’s oil revival suffered a setback and
outages cut the output from African producers. According to the
survey based on shipping data and information from oil
company sources, supply from the OPEC averaged at 29.72mn
bpd, down from a revised 30.06mn bpd in February. A drop in
Iraq’s northern region exports, oilfield maintenance in Angola
and further unrest in Libya outweighed the extra volumes from
Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and a small rise in Iranian supplies. The
survey highlights the impact of unrest and outages on supply
from the group which pumps one-third of the world’s oil. (Gulf-
