GWCS to raise QR458mn through rights issue – Gulf Warehousing
Company (GWCS) has received shareholders’ nod for a rights issue
through which it is aiming to raise as much as QR458mn to shore
up its capital base and part-fund its expansion. The company will
issue 11.89mn shares at QR38.5 (QR10 at par and a premium of
QR28.5). The proposal for the rights issue was approved at the
extraordinary general assembly meeting, which was presided over
by GWCS’ Chairman Sheikh Abdulla bin Fahad bin Jassem bin Jabor
al-Thani. Masraf Al Rayan Group has been mandated as the issue
manager. However, the company did not specify by when the issue
will hit the market. All shareholders, as of October 12, will be

According to a GWCS spokesman, both the subscription period and
terms & conditions will be announced in local newspapers at the

particularly the GWCS Bu Sulba Logistics Park, which was awarded
in December 2014 by the Economic Zones Company (Manateq).

10 Gulf banks apply for Qatar license – Around 8 to 10 banks from
the GCC countries have applied for license to operate in Qatar and
are likely to get approval before 2015-end. Some of the banks are
seeking the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) route to enter Qatar
while others want to operate outside of it. Since Qatar Central
Bank (QCB) is the pivotal licensing authority, all the banks have
made their applications to the banking regulator. Once approval is
granted, they are expected to meet the necessary requirements,
complete the paperwork and begin their operations by early 2016.
Al Sharq reported, quoting sources from QCB that the banks
aspiring to operate in Qatar are from Saudi Arabia, the UAE,
Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman. The top applicants include First Gulf
Bank from the UAE, and Bank Muscat from Oman, in addition to
some Saudi and Kuwaiti banks. Qatar’s decision to allow GCC
banks to open branches in its territory is part of a GCC-wide policy
to bolster regional economic cooperation in all fields. (Peninsula

BIS: China, Brazil among developing nations at risk of banking crisis
– Switzerland-based the Bank for International Settlements (BIS)
said credit growth in China, Brazil and Turkey does not only risk
spurring a hangover in bad debt – it also signals a banking crisis is
on the horizon. According to the BIS report, a ratio of credit to
GDP, a measure of how much private-sector credit has deviated
from its long-term trend, stands at 25.4% in China. That is the
highest of any major economy and compares with 16.6% in Turkey
and 15.7% in Brazil. BIS said that historically, a country with a
ratio above a 10% threshold has a two-thirds chance of “serious
banking strains” occurring within three years. Meanwhile, the
biggest banks in Brazil, which are in the midst of the worst
contraction in a quarter century, are boosting provisions to cover
their bad loans. The report showed that like China, Indonesia,
Singapore and Thailand also have credit-to-GDP ratios that exceed
10% and are therefore vulnerable to banking strains. (Bloomberg)
China reveals reform details for state-firms as growth sputters –
China unveiled details of how it would restructure its state-owned
enterprises (SOEs), including partial privatization, as data pointed
to a cooling in the world’s second-largest economy. The official
Xinhua news agency said the guidelines, jointly issued by the
Communist Party’s Central Committee and the State Council,
China’s cabinet, included plans to clean up and integrate some
state firms. Xinhua said the plans included introducing “mixed
ownership” by bringing in private investment, and decisive results
were expected by 2020. The news agency said the government will
not force “mixed ownership”, nor will it set a timetable, giving each
firm the go-ahead only when conditions are mature. SOEs will be
divided into commercial and public welfare-related businesses
during the reform process. Oil & gas, electricity, railways and
telecommunications were identified as sectors that could be
suitable for limited non-state investment. Meanwhile, data
published by the National Bureau of Statistics showed growth in
fixed-asset investment, a crucial economic driver, slowed to 10.9%
in the first eight months of 2015 - the weakest pace in nearly 15
years. Annual growth in real estate investment also continued to
cool to 3.5% in the first eight months, the weakest since early
2009, from 4.3% in January-July. Retail sales were the single
positive surprise, growing 10.8% YoY in August and above
forecasts of 10.5%, the same as July. The government is aiming for
2015 economic growth of around 7%, which would be the slowest
in a quarter century. (Reuters)
Economy Minister: Spain to grow 3.5% YoY in 3Q2015 – Spain’s
Economy Minister, Luis de Guindos said the Spanish economy will
expand by around 3.5% YoY in 3Q2015, putting it on course to
achieve overall growth of 3.3% in 2015. De Guindos said job
creation has slowed down in the last months but indicators signal
that the growth will be close to 3.5% in the third quarter. De
Guindos dismissed the idea that a heated debate over a potential
split of Catalonia from Spain was hurting international
investments in the country. He said direct international
investments in Catalonia in 1H2015 were close to €2bn and were
slightly above €6.3bn in Spain. De Guindos added that political
instability or a government that would cancel the reforms passed
since 2011 were posing the main risks for the economy. (Economic
