Obama to issue order to ease student loan pressures – A
White House official said that US President Barack Obama will
issue an executive action on Monday aimed at making it easier
for young people to repay student loans. The president will sign
an order directing the Secretary of Education to ensure that
more students who borrowed federal direct loans be allowed to
cap their loan payments at 10% of their monthly incomes. The
official said the Federal law currently allows most students to do
this already. The president's order will extend this ability to
students who borrowed before October 2007 or those who have
not borrowed since October 2011. The administration says this
action will help up to 5mn more borrowers, although it will not be
available until December 2015. Faced with a Republican
majority in the House of Representatives that makes legislation
out of reach for most of his policy proposals, Obama has turned
to issuing executive orders to accomplish his agenda. (Reuters)
IMF admits underestimating the rally in UK economy – The
International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Christine
Lagarde stated that it underestimated the strength of the UK
economy when warning against the government’s austerity
program. Lagarde said the UK economic outlook was now more
sustainable as investment joins consumption as an engine. She
reiterated that the strength of the UK housing market remains a
threat, although its rise was multi-faceted rather than an outright
boom. Distancing herself from a European Commission call for
higher taxes in the UK, Lagarde said that IMF does not
recommend a massive increase in tax. (Bloomberg)

China's exports gain steam in May but imports fall
unexpectedly – According to the data released by the General
Administration of Customs, China's exports rose 7% in May
2014 from a year earlier, quickening from April's 0.9% rise, while
imports fell 1.6%, versus a rise of 0.8% in April. Exports gained
steam in May thanks to a firmer global demand, but an
unexpected fall in imports signaled weaker domestic demand
that could continue to weigh on the world's second-largest
economy. The customs office said that China's trade surplus
widened sharply to $35.9bn in May from April's $18.5bn. China's
combined exports and imports edged up 0.2% in the first five
months on a YoY basis, trailing far behind the annual growth
target of 7.5%. (Reuters)

UAE CB finds Dubai, Abu Dhabi property markets
overheating – According to the UAE Central Bank, the real
estate market in the UAE may be overheating and rental yields
in its two richest Emirates indicate growing imbalances. The
central bank said in its 2013 Financial Stability Report that the
average sale prices in Abu Dhabi and Dubai have risen faster
than rents, and such deviations can identify imbalances in the
housing market. The average rental yield in Dubai is about 70
basis points below the historical average and those in Abu
Dhabi are 130 basis points lower. While the recovery of rental
prices started at least a few months before the sale prices had
bottomed, rent growth was significantly lower than the increase
in prices. The bank said that these discrepancies could indicate
an overheating real estate market. (Gulf-Times.com)

25 wheat silos with a storage capacity of 1.5mn tons to help
prevent the loss of billions of dollars worth of wheat per year.

UAE Central Bank to introduce stricter capital, liquidity
rules – According to the 2013 Financial Stability Report, the
Central Bank of the UAE will introduce stricter capital

changes fall in line with Basel III rules, a set of voluntary capital
adequacy standards introduced in response to the global

regulations are also planned in 2H2014, which will require banks
to hold adequate high-quality liquid assets to cope with a crisis.

NBK: Kuwait’s current account surplus eases to $70bn –
According to National Bank of Kuwait (NBK), Kuwait’s current
account surplus has eased slightly to KD20.3bn in 2013,
following an all-time high of KD22.1bn in 2012. Financial
outflows also eased back from their record high in 2012 on the
back of a KD4.2bn reduction in government investments in
foreign currencies and deposits. The decline in the current
account surplus was primarily attributed to a KD1.3bn drop in
the balance of goods to KD25.4bn. The goods exports were
down 2% YoY to KD32.8bn, as oil exports fell as a result of
lower oil prices which were down 3% YoY in 2013. (Bloomberg)
