 Woqod opens new service station near Abu Samra border – Qatar
Fuel (Woqod) has opened its eighth new service station in 2015 in
the Al Mas’habiya area near the Abu Samra border. This is
Woqod’s second outlet in the area and its 31st overall. Built at a
cost of QR17mn, the service station is spread over an area of
12,000 square meters and has six lanes and six dispensers. The
station will offer round-the-clock services to residents of the Abu
Samra community and travelers arriving in Qatar through the Abu
Samra border post. (Gulf-Times.com)
 S&P assigns ‘A-’ rating to Al Koot Insurance – Rating agency
Standard & Poor’s (S&P) has assigned a rating of ‘A-’ (stable) to Al
Koot Insurance and Reinsurance Company. Al Koot is the
subsidiary of Gulf International Services (GISS), the largest service
group in Qatar, with interests in a broad cross-section of
industries, including insurance, re-insurance, fund management,
onshore and offshore drilling, accommodation barge, helicopter
transportation and catering services. The company was assigned
the rating, taking into account the company’s historical
performance and the opportunities and challenges during its
transition to an open market commercial insurance company. And
as one of the largest domestic Qatari insurers, S&P, in assigning the
rating, was of the view that Al Koot’s expertise and risk
management capacity will see it keep a significant position in
developing local Qatari insurance market as it expands in 2016
and 2017. It also considered Al Koot’s stand-alone capability and
its ability to maintain its leading domestic market status, and a
strong capital and earnings, supported by extremely strong capital
adequacy, profitable underwriting and an intermediate risk
position. (Peninsula Qatar)
 BMI: Transport infrastructure can meet Qatar logistical demands –
BMI Research, in its recent report, has stated that Qatar’s transport
infrastructure is adequate to meet its current logistical demands.
BMI Research, part of the Fitch Group, said with heavy investment
in upgrading the major Qatari airports and seaports, as well as the
development of a parallel rail system to ease some of the pressure
off the road infrastructure, Qatar’s logistical chain is improving its
capacity to transport freight. BMI Research said with an eye on the
upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup, and an overarching focus on
achieving the 2030 Qatar National Vision objectives, the country’s
infrastructure is being overhauled and modernized. Combined
with regionally relaxed and cost-efficient trading procedures,
Qatar is well placed to ensure that its international trade is
maintained at its required levels. For these reasons, BMI Research
has given Qatar a score of 61.1 on 100, placing it at sixth position
regionally. At present, Qatar’s international trading and logistical
infrastructure largely caters to the export of fossil fuels and import
of construction materials and food. With the world’s largest LNG
exporting facility, and several major airport and seaport
refurbishment and development projects coming online
imminently, Qatar is set to increase its logistical capacity growth in
line with growing demands of its population. Qatar also holds
“reasonable attractiveness” for foreign investment and businesses,
in large part due to its high availability of cheap utilities,
abundance of natural wealth, and openness to attracting foreign
investment. (Gulf-Times.com)
 MDPS: Qatar’s trade surplus at QR10.9bn – According to the
preliminary figures released by the Ministry of Development
Planning & Statistics (MDPS), the value of Qatar’s total export of
goods, including exports of goods of domestic origin and re-
exports, stood at QR21.3bn in November 2015, a 36.7% YoY
decrease and a 5.9% MoM decline. On the other hand, the imports
in November touched QR10.4bn, showing an increase of 2.8% YoY.
However, on a MoM basis, the imports decreased by 0.1%. In
November 2015, the foreign merchandise trade balance, which
represents the difference between total exports and imports,
showed a surplus of QR10.9bn, a decrease of QR 12.6bn, or 53.6%
YoY. The trade balance increased by QR1.3bn, or 10.7% MoM. The
YoY decrease in total exports was mainly due to lower exports of
petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons reaching
QR13.3bn in October 2015, a decrease of 40.6%. Export value of
Petroleum oils and oils from bituminous minerals (crude) reached
QR2.7bn, down 51.3%. The export value of petroleum oils and oils
from bituminous minerals (not crude) reached QR0.9bn, down
35.6%. (Peninsula Qatar)

According to government data, Japan’s factory output fell for the
first time in three months in November 2015, a sign that weak

sustained recovery in the world’s third largest economy. However,

offering some relief for the Bank of Japan as it struggles to jump-
start growth and accelerate inflation toward its 2% target. Trade
