 QSE, CBQK working together to empower SMEs in Qatar –
The Qatar Stock Exchange (QSE) and the Commercial Bank
(CBQK) have jointly held a workshop for SMEs (small and
medium-sized enterprises) about opportunities to list on the
Qatar Exchange Venture Market (QEVM). The workshop
highlighted growth opportunities for SMEs seeking to be part of
the QEVM, which joins the QSE Main Market, and provides a
revolutionary new platform for SMEs to pursue their
entrepreneurial visions and also benefit from access to capital
through listing. According to QSE CEO Rashid bin Ali Al-
Mansoori, QEVM is all set to welcome SMEs from the wider Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC) and Middle East & North Africa
(Mena) regions as well. (QSE)
 Moody's upgrades QISI’s IFSR, outlook stable – Moody's
Investors Service has upgraded the insurance financial strength
rating (IFSR) of Qatar Islamic Insurance Company (QISI) to
Baa1 from Baa2. The rating carries a stable outlook. The rating
upgrade for QISI reflects its improved and extremely strong
capitalization in relation to insurance risk and its sustained
strong profitability both in terms of underwriting profit and
bottom-line. On the other hand, Moody's said that QISI
maintains a significant level of investment risk, as it invests
predominantly in Qatari equity and property markets.
Furthermore, QISI's insurance risk remains relatively
concentrated in Qatar thus exposing it to geographic
concentration risk and reliance on the Qatar’s economic
performance. Both of these factors constrain the company's
ratings over time. (Bloomberg)

 US consumer spending stalls in April; factory activity
improves in May – The US consumer spending growth
unexpectedly stalled in April as households cut back on
purchases of automobiles and continued to boost savings,
suggesting the economy was struggling to gain momentum early
in 2Q2015. The Commerce Department said that consumer
spending remained unchanged in April as compared with
analysts' forecasts for a 0.2% rise and followed by a 0.5%
increase in March. Consumer spending was also curbed by
weak demand for utilities such as electricity and natural gas as
temperatures warmed up. Meanwhile, the Institute for Supply
Management said its national factory activity index rose to 52.8
in May from 51.5 in April. The index was boosted by a surge in
new orders and factory employment. (Reuters)
 Eurozone factory growth weaker in May than initially
reported – Markit Economics said that its factory PMI for the
entire 19-nation euro region rose to 52.2 in May from 52 in April.
While that is above the key 50 mark that divides expansion from
contraction, it is below the initially reported reading of 52.3.
Markit’s report showed that input costs at factories across the
region are rising by the most in three years, while selling prices
are stagnating, squeezing companies’ margins. In Germany, the
index fell more than initially reported, dropping to 51.1 from 52.1.
France’s PMI remained below 50. On the other hand, the PMI
for Italy rose to 54.8 from 53.8 in April, the highest since 2011,
while the Spanish measure jumped to 55.8 from 54.2.
Production and new order growth in Italy was the fastest in over
four years while output and new orders rose at the quickest
pace in Spain since 2007 as new export business jumped the
most in 15 years. (Bloomberg)
 UK domestic demand drives factory pick-up as exports stall
– According to a report by Markit Economics, UK manufacturing
expanded in May as the factory PMI rose to 52 from a revised
51.8 in April. The report highlighted Britain’s reliance on
domestic demand while an economic recovery has yet to gain
momentum in Europe, its biggest trading partner. Domestic
demand also fueled a pick-up in new orders, whereas export
orders were little changed in May following a drop in the
previous month. Manufacturers raised average selling prices for
the first time in five months, while input costs fell. (Bloomberg)
 WB raises 2015, 2016 growth forecasts for Russia – The
World Bank (WB) said on Monday that it expects Russia's
economy to contract less sharply than previously thought in
2015, citing a recovery in oil prices in recent months, a stronger
ruble and slowing inflation. The bank forecasted Russia’s GDP
to fall by 2.7% in 2015 as opposed to 3.8% estimated earlier.
The WB also raised growth forecast for 2016 to 0.7% while the
economy is expected to expand by 2.5% in 2017. The WB's lead
economist for Russia, Birgit Hansl said that the changed
conditions would allow the central bank to ease monetary policy
at a faster rate this year, supporting the economy. However, the
outlook for the Russian economy remained uncertain. (Reuters)
 Indian factory growth accelerates in May – According to a
survey by HSBC, Indian manufacturing sector grew at its fastest
pace in four months in May on improved domestic demand,
even as input costs remained high and firms adopted a cautious
approach on hiring. The HSBC/Markit PMI surged to 52.6 in
May, from 51.3 in April, with levels of production and new orders
rising at the fastest rates since January 2015. The data shows
that manufacturing sector has been growing for 19 consecutive
months now. (Economic Times)
