UK’s factories build up stockpiles before Brexit, boosting PMI –
British factories ramped up their stockpiling in December as
they prepared for possible border delays when Britain leaves
the European Union in less than three months’ time, a survey
showed. The IHS Markit/CIPS Manufacturing Purchasing
Managers’ Index (PMI) rose to 54.2 from an upwardly revised
53.6 in November, the highest reading in six months and
stronger than all forecasts in a Reuters poll of economists.
Markit stated the improvement did not herald a big change in
the outlook for Britain’s stuttering economy and was caused in
large part by manufacturers stockpiling inputs and finished
goods, both of which were near record highs. Many
manufacturers are building up inventories to protect
themselves against the risks of customs delays at the border
after March 29, when Britain is due to leave the EU. Prime
Minister Theresa May is struggling to overcome deep
opposition to her Brexit plan in her own Conservative Party,
raising the risk that no transition period will be provided to ease
Britain out of its four decade-long membership of the EU.
(Reuters)
UK’s services growth drops to two-year low in fourth-quarter in
Brexit 'stasis' – Businesses in Britain’s dominant services sector
reported the slowest sales growth in two years during the final
three months of 2018, another sign of a slowing economy ahead
of Brexit, the British Chambers of Commerce stated. Many
retailers had reported difficulties in the run-up to Christmas,
but Thursday’s findings - from Britain’s largest private-sector
economic survey - point to a broader slowdown among
businesses that rely on consumer spending. Manufacturers also
reported weaker sales growth, and orders slowed across the
board before Britain’s planned departure from the European
Union on March 29. The Bank of England estimates overall
economic growth slowed to 0.2% in the final quarter of 2018
from 0.6% in the three months before. Prime Minister Theresa
May is struggling to overcome deep opposition to her Brexit
plan in her own Conservative Party, raising the risk that no
transition period will be provided to ease Britain out of its four-
decade-long membership of the EU. (Reuters)
Eurozone’s factories end 2018 on a low note – Eurozone’s
manufacturing activity barely expanded at the end of 2018 in a
broad-based slowdown, according to a survey which showed
scant signs for optimism as the new-year begins. The
disappointing survey comes just after the European Central
Bank ended its EUR2.6tn asset purchasing scheme and is likely
to make uncomfortable reading for policymakers. IHS Markit’s
December final manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index fell
for a fifth month, coming in at 51.4 from November’s 51.8,
matching a flash reading but barely above the 50 level
separating growth from contraction. That was its lowest
reading since February 2016 but an index measuring output,
which feeds into a composite PMI that is seen as a good gauge
of economic health, nudged up to 51.0 from 50.7. (Reuters)
German manufacturing growth slows again in December –
Growth in Germany’s manufacturing sector slowed again in
December as new orders fell at the fastest rate in four years, a
survey showed. Markit’s Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) for
manufacturing, which accounts for about a fifth of the
4. Page 4 of 5
economy, fell to a 33-month low of 51.5 from 51.8 in November,
edging closer to the 50.0 mark that separates growth from
contraction. It was the 11th time in 2018 that the
manufacturing index fell, reflecting a sustained cooling of
growth in Europe’s largest economy, which shrank in the third
quarter partly on one-off effects such as fewer car registrations
as makers adapt to new pollution standards. Germany is also
facing headwinds from trade frictions between the United
States and China and weaker demand from the Eurozone.
(Reuters)
China’s fourth-quarter economic growth may fall below 6.5% –
China’s economic growth could fall below 6.5% in the fourth
quarter as companies face increased difficulties, a central bank
magazine noted. The government should step up tax cuts to
help ease the burden on companies, especially small firms, the
magazine stated. Chinese leaders have pledged to ratchet up
support for the economy in 2019 by cutting taxes and keeping
ample liquidity amid a trade dispute with the US. China’s
economic growth slowed to 6.5% in the third quarter, the
weakest pace since the global financial crisis. Indications are
that momentum is likely to come off further in the fourth
quarter and next year. Chinese officials have said the economy
would still hit the official growth target of around 6.5% in 2018.

OPEC+ caps prove no barrier to the record Russia oil output in
2018 – Russia’s oil production reached a post-Soviet high last
year even as it coordinated supply with the Organization of
Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Output averaged
11.16mn bpd, up 1.6% from 2017, according to preliminary data
from the Energy Ministry’s CDU-TEK unit. That compares with
an all-time high of 11.416mn bpd in 1987, BP Plc figures show.
During the first half of last year, Russian volumes were capped
as part of an agreement with OPEC to support prices. But after
the market rebounded, the producers rolled back their cuts,
with Russia rapidly raising output to reach 11.45mn bpd in
December. (Gulf-Times.com)
OPEC output falls most in almost two years as Saudi Arabia
begins cuts – Before its agreement to cut oil supplies even
started, OPEC’s production plunged by the most in almost two
years last month. In a sign of the urgency felt by the cartel amid
tumbling crude prices, leading member Saudi Arabia throttled
back production, according to a Bloomberg survey of officials,
analysts and ship-tracking data. The group’s pact to curb
output only formally started this week. The Kingdom’s
deliberate cutbacks were compounded by unplanned losses in
Iran, which is being targeted by US sanctions, and in Libya,
where protests halted the biggest oil field. As a result, oil output
from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)
fell 530,000 barrels a day to 32.6mn a day last month. It’s the
sharpest pullback since January 2017, when the group first
embarked on its strategy to clear the glut created by rising
supplies of US shale oil. (Bloomberg)
Banks seek advisors for biggest bank merger in Saudi Arabia
since 2016 – National Commercial Bank (NCB) and Riyad Bank
are seeking advisors for a potential merger that would create
the Gulf region’s third-biggest lender with $182bn in assets,
according to sources. The banks have sent out so-called request
for proposals to firms including Citigroup Inc., Credit Suisse
Group AG, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., HSBC Holdings Plc,
JPMorgan Chase & Co. and UBS Group AG, the sources added.
Formal advisors for the deal, which could be the biggest bank
merger in almost three years, could be appointed this month,
the sources said. The proposed combination has the backing of
the Public Investment Fund (PIF), the sovereign wealth fund
that owns about 44% of National Commercial Bank (NCB) and
22% of Riyad Bank, the sources added. No final decisions have
been made and the banks may choose other advisors, sources
said. (Bloomberg)

Omani aviation is set to soar in 2019 – International Air

a very promising statistic, that itself is helping drive aviation
growth in the region. In Oman’s capital, a new $1.8bn terminal
at Muscat’s International airport has already opened its doors to
passengers flying to, from or through Oman. The new terminal
raised the capacity up to 20mn passengers per year, and is
equipped with the latest technology to accommodate aircraft
including the superjumbo Airbus A380. (Gulf-Times.com)
