DHBK seeks nod for its Tier 1 capital notes worth QR2bn –
Doha Bank’s (DHBK) board of directors has recommended to
the extraordinary general assembly of shareholders to approve
the issuance of Tier 1 capital notes amounting to QR2bn. The
issuer will either be Doha Bank or a special purpose vehicle
wholly owned by the Qatari lender as deemed appropriate by its
management. Doha Bank said the issue date will be on or
before March 30, 2014 and will be perpetual, but callable only
after six years. DHBK’s Chairman Sheikh Fahad bin Mohamed
bin Jabor al-Thani said the proposed Tier 1 Capital Notes will
enhance the bank’s prospects in achieving its strategic goals
and will strengthen its lending capacity in view of the anticipated
boom in the Qatari economy in the coming years. In our view,
the bond will help improve the Tier I ratio of the bank, and the
bank is unlikely to go ahead with the previously announced
international GDR option. Furthermore, we expect other medium
sized banks to announce their plans of Tier I bonds over the
coming months. (Gulf-Times.com, QNBFS Research)
Qatar to lead Gulf nations’ robust growth – According to a
report by Ernst & Young (E&Y), Gulf countries can expect to see
robust economic growth over the medium term, while the Middle
East region is poised to witness slowdown. The report said
factors like strong foreign direct investment (FDI) flows, easier
access to credit and entrepreneurial growth are fuelling the
development of new businesses and sectors in the Middle
Eastern rapid-growing markets. Qatar, in particular, is slated to
see 6% expansion in the medium term, while the UAE’s
economy is expected to grow by 3.9% and Saudi Arabia by
4.3%. Qatar has focused on diversification in non-oil sectors
such as manufacturing, construction, transport, communications,
trade, hotels and government services, which are projected to
grow by around 10% annually. (Gulf-Times.com)

WB reduces China, East Asia growth forecasts – The World
Bank (WB) lowered its 2013 and 2014 economic growth
forecasts for China and most of developing East Asia, citing
slower growth as well as weaker commodity prices that have
hurt exports and investments in these countries. The World
Bank said developing East Asia is expanding at a slower pace
as China shifts away from an export-oriented economy to an
economy led by domestic demand. The World Bank feels the
massive, investment-heavy stimulus program supported by
credit expansion had run its course in China, and its
policymakers must focus on containing the rapid growth of credit
and tighten financial supervision. Meanwhile, the bank expects
developing East Asia to expand by 7.1% this year and by 7.2%
in 2014, down from its April estimate of 7.8% and 7.6%
respectively. (Reuters)
