In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

DHBK reports net loss of ~QR65mn in 4Q2019 – Doha Bank
(DHBK) reported net loss of ~QR65mn in 4Q2019 vs. net profit
of QR92.5mn in 4Q2018 and net profit of QR299.9mn in 3Q2019;
our estimate stood at QR185.01mn net profit in 4Q2019. DHBK’s
Chairman, Sheikh Fahad bin Mohamed bin Jabor Al Thani said,
“The net profit of the bank for FY2019 is QR754mn as compared
with QR830mn in 2018 after taking significant loan loss
provision.” EPS amounted to QR0.17 in FY2019 as compared to
QR0.20 in FY2018. Sheikh Fahad also stated that the interest
income significantly grew by 7.5% compared to last year to
reach QR4.2bn. The net operating income stood at QR2.8bn.
Total assets amounted to QR108.2bn as of December 31, 2019.
Net loans and advances reached QR65.8bn as of December 31,
2019. The investment portfolio amounted to QR26.6bn,
registering an increase of 28.1%. Customer deposits stood at
QR58.5bn as of December 31. He also said the total shareholders’
equity (by end-2019) reached QR13.3bn and the return on
average shareholders’ equity was 6% and the return on average
assets was 0.74%. Sheikh Fahad noted the audited financial
statements, declared net profit, carrying forward the net profit
to the following year and issuance of additional capital
instruments are subject to the approval of the regulatory
authorities concerned and the General Assembly of the
shareholders. At a meeting, the board of directors decided to
present a recommendation to the General Assembly to carry
forward the net profit to the following year to enhance the
bank’s financial position. In a resolution, the board submitted a
recommendation to the Extra Ordinary General Assembly
meeting to approve the issuance of Additional Tier 1 (AT1)
and/or Tier II Capital Instruments amounting up to $1bn either
directly or through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) as per the
terms of the issue, which shall include but not limited to the
following:– (1) The issuances should qualify as Capital
Instruments (AT1 or Tier II) as per Qatar Central Bank (QCB)
terms and regulations, (2) Issuance can be through a public
issue and or a private placement, in local and/or international
markets, (3) To set up of a new EMTN program, which complies
with Capital Instrument issuance regulation. The program will
be capped at $1bn, (4) The issuances can be in local or major
foreign currencies, (5) Tier II issuance will not exceed $500mn
(or its equivalent), (6) The maturity of the Additional Tier 1
instrument shall be perpetual and that of Tier II to be limited to
10 years, (7) To authorize the board of directors of Doha Bank
and those authorized by the board to determine all terms and
conditions and take all necessary actions to execute these
issuances after obtaining relevant approvals from the QCB and
other competent authorities, (8) Delegation from EGM of
shareholders to the board will be valid for three years, (9) To call
the Ordinary and Extra Ordinary General Assembly of the
shareholders for a meeting on March 16, and in the event the
quorum is not met, a second meeting will be held on March 30.

QGTS' bottom-line rises 17.8% YoY and 8.8% QoQ in 4Q2019 –
Nakilat’s net profit attributable to owners of the company rose
to QR274.3mn in 4Q2019, above our estimate of QR250.8mn
(variation of +9.4%). While exact details are unavailable, the
majority of the beat was driven by one-offs in JV income due to
acquisition of QGTS’ remaining JV interest in its OSG JV in
4Q2019. The company recorded total one-time income of
QR287.9mn (QR120.4mn bargain purchase gain and QR167.6mn
gain on de-recognition of JVs.). Operating metrics were
generally in-line with our forecasts: (1) Revenue from wholly-
owned ships of QR878.4mn (15.2% YoY, 13.4% QoQ) was in-line
with our estimate of QR879.4mn (difference of -0.1%). The
growth in ship revenue was driven by the purchase of QGTS’
remaining 49.9% stake in 4 LNG ships held under its OSG joint
venture in October. (2) Adjusted revenue of QR1.1bn (28.3%
YoY, 25.9% QoQ) was 13.4% above our estimate of QR993.9mn
driven by previously mentioned one-offs in JV income. (3)
EBITDA of QR650.2mn was in-line with our forecast of
QR669.8mn (-2.9% difference). (4) Adjusted EBITDA of
QR883.0mn (30.0% YoY, 25.9% QoQ) was 14.6% above our
modeled figure of QR770.4mn again driven by JV income one-
offs. While JV income of QR232.8mn (125.2% YoY, 118.7% QoQ)
was higher than our estimate of QR100.7mn, this was partially
offset by lower finance charges of QR314.5mn (9.7% YoY,
12.2% QoQ), which beat our forecast of QR330.0mn by 5.6%. JV
income obviously benefited from one-offs but this was offset by
losses in the shipyard business. Net-net, these results are in-line
with our estimates and we will obtain more color regarding the
divergence in JV income from management. DPS of QR0.10 was
in-line with our estimates, flat for the 4th year in a row. This
translates into a yield of 4.7%. We remain bullish on QGTS and
consider it as the best avenue for equity investors to participate
in the long-term growth expected in Qatar’s LNG sector. Going
forward, in terms of catalysts, we continue to believe expansion
of Qatar’s LNG output from 77 MTPA to 110 MTPA is a
significant driver. Currently our model does not assume any
fleet expansion and we will incorporate such expansion once
more details are revealed. We foresee significant upward revision
to our estimates and price target once we factor in this expansion.
For now, we maintain our Accumulate rating and price target of
QR2.60. (QNB FS Research, Company Press Release)
QEWS' bottom-line rises 22.0% YoY and 40.2% QoQ in 4Q2019,
but comes 12.8% below our estimate excluding one-offs – Qatar
Electricity & Water Company's (QEWS) net profit rose 22.0%
YoY (+40.2% QoQ) to QR463.7mn in 4Q2019. However, 4Q2019
reported earnings of QR463.7mn included QR192mn in reversal
of provisions at Umm Al Houl. This reversal pertains to a
settlement regarding the k-factor issue at the JV; once we
exclude this one-off, 4Q2019 net income would have come in at
QR271.7mn vs. our estimate of QR311.6mn. The company's
revenue came in at QR603.6mn in 4Q2019, which represents an
increase of 3.0% YoY. However, on QoQ basis, revenue fell 5.9%.
In FY2019, QEWS reported a net profit of QR1,413.9mn
compared to net profit amounting to QR1,536.6mn for the
previous year. EPS amounted to QR1.29 in FY2019 as compared
to QR1.40 in FY2018. Proposed cash dividend of QR0.775 was in-
line with our estimate and flat with DPS declared in 207 and
2018. We do not envision significant changes to our future
forecasts and will update our estimates in a forthcoming report.
3. Page 3 of 8
We continue to like the company as a long-term play with a
relatively defensive business model. QEWS still enjoys decent
EBITDA margins and dividend/FCF yields. LT catalysts (which
are not in our model) abound, including additional domestic
expansions (like Facility E starting by 2022-2023; Siraj solar
project starting in 2021, etc.). Beyond Paiton (Indonesia), we do
not have color on other major Nebras projects, which could lead
to growth relative to our model. We maintain our Market
Perform rating on the shares with a price target of QR17.00.
(QNBFS Research, Company financials)
GISS' 4Q2019 earnings broadly in-line – GISS reported earnings
of QR9.0mn in 4Q2019, gaining vs. QR5.3mn posted in 3Q2019
and significantly above the rig impairment-driven loss of
QR137.7mn posted in 4Q2018. We were expecting an overall net
income of QR8.1mn in 4Q2019 so earnings were broadly in-line
our model. As expected, the company did not recommend a cash
dividend for 2019. 4Q2019 revenue came in-line at QR772.8mn
(23.1% YoY, 0.8% QoQ). GISS’ top-line was in-line with our
estimate of QR774.5mn (delta of -0.2%). Segment revenue was
generally in-line with our forecasts. For the year, GISS posted
QR3.0bn in revenue, up 19.5% YoY and earnings of QR43.6mn
vs. a loss of QR98.3mn in 2018. 2018 earnings, excluding rig
impairment, was QR51.7mn. 2019 EBITDA of QR724mn also
dipped below 2018’s QR746mn. 2019 revenue benefitted from a
significant 91.6% increase in insurance top-line, while
international expansion in the aviation segment boosted
segment revenue by 8.2%. Drilling continues to improve
bottom-line performance. While segment revenue for 2019 was
up only 2.0% YoY to QR1.2bn, drilling net loss improved to
QR101.8mn vs. a loss of QR263.7mn in 2018. The segment made
good progress by cutting operating costs through outsourcing
services and rationalizing its costs structure. According to the
company, drilling was able to reduce its direct costs by QR35mn
and g&a expenses by QR23mn in 2019. Our overall thesis
remains the same – GISS’ story consists of a sum of moving
parts, not entirely predictable and fairly volatile. We do not
expect this to change. However, we do expect drilling to pull
itself out of losses suffered during 2016-19 by 2020 in light of
demand due to the proposed North Field expansion and given
our assumption of high fleet utilization & modest cost savings.
We maintain our Outperform rating with a QR2.10 price target.
We believe as newsflow and contribution of the drilling
expansion program become apparent later this year, the stock
should benefit. (QNB FS Research, QSE, Peninsula Qatar)
ORDS posts ~3% YoY decrease but ~8% QoQ increase in net
profit in 4Q2019 – Ooredoo's (ORDS) net profit declined ~3%
YoY (but rose ~8% on QoQ basis) to ~QR460mn in 4Q2019.The
company's revenue came in at ~QR7,951mn in 4Q2019, which
represents an increase of ~8% YoY (+~7% QoQ). Strong revenue
growth in 4Q2019 has contributed to a strong EBITDA
improvement (+11% YoY). In FY2019, Group’s revenue was
stable YoY at QR29.9bn, in spite of the industry wide shift from
voice to data consumption, a reduction in handset sales as well
as macroeconomic and currency weakness in some of our
markets. The Group’s EBITDA increased by 5% YoY to
QR12.8bn, with a corresponding EBITDA margin of 43%, driven
by efficiency programs in some operating companies and a
positive impact from the implementation of the new IFRS 16
accounting standard. The Group’s net profit attributable to
Ooredoo shareholders has increased by 10% to QR1.7bn in 2019,
compared to last year. EPS amounted to QR0.54 in FY2019 as
compared to QR0.49 in FY2018. Growth was driven by an
increase in EBITDA, a more favorable Foreign Exchange
environment compared to 2018, which was partially offset by a
negative IFRS16 impact on Net Profit. Ooredoo Qatar, Kuwait,
Tunisia, Iraq and Indonesia performed well. Furthermore,
Ooredoo Indosat’s Profit benefited from the sale of 3,100 towers.
The board recommends the distribution of a cash dividend of
QR0.25 per share. Additionally, the ORDS’ board approved a
sustainable and progressive dividend policy for the company,
aiming for a dividend payout in the range of 40% to 60% of
normalized earnings. The Group’s customer base was 117mn, up
by 2% compared to 2018, mainly driven by new customers in
Indonesia, Myanmar and Kuwait. The Group’s CEO, Sheikh
Saud bin Nasser Al Thani said, “Ooredoo Group delivered a
strong set of results in 2019, against a backdrop of an evolving
telecommunications industry. Our success was driven by the
precise execution of our digital transformation strategy, in
concert with the culture of innovation which permeates
Ooredoo Group. This enabled us to remain agile and meet the
changing needs of our customers. Group revenue was stable at
QR29.9bn in 2019, in spite of the industry wide shift from voice
to data consumption, a reduction in handset sales as well as
macroeconomic and currency weakness in some of our markets.
Throughout the year, we made significant productivity
improvements as we digitized our processes and optimized our
cost base. EBITDA for 2019 was QR12.8bn, an increase of 5%
compared to the previous year. Similarly, our EBITDA margin
improved to 43% in 2019, compared to 41% in the previous year
driven by improvements in Qatar, Kuwait, Tunisia, Indonesia
and Maldives. Ooredoo Qatar managed to improve EBITDA
margins from 52% in 2018 to 54% in 2019 and demonstrated
readiness to support major sporting events with a flawless
application of 5G stadium technology during the final round of
the FIFA Club World Cup in Doha. Our strategy in Indonesia
supported a strong recovery in Indosat Ooredoo’s financial
performance which delivered revenue growth of 14% and
EBITDA growth of 47% in 2019, compared to the previous year.
Our digital distribution strategy in Myanmar was well received
by the market and supported an expansion in Ooredoo
Myanmar’s user base by 20%. An optimized product mix and
careful cost management contributed to a 31% growth in
Ooredoo Kuwait’s EBITDA, despite competitive market
pressures.” Ooredoo Qatar delivered a steady performance in
2019, building on its global leadership in 5G services to provide
an excellent online experience for customers. Revenue stood at
QR7.3bn, impacted by a fall in handset sales but enhanced by
business-to-business growth. Ooredoo Qatar reported stable
EBITDA of QR4.0bn with an increased EBITDA margin of 54%.
Customer numbers were 3.3mn by year-end in line with 2018.

MERS' bottom line rises ~3% YoY and ~120% QoQ in 4Q2019 –
Al Meera Consumer Goods Company's (MERS) net profit rose

company recorded consolidated sales of QR3.0bn in challenging
market conditions. Gross profit increased to QR518.6mn, an
increase of 4.5% YoY, mainly through improvements in

income for the year amounted to QR74.8mn. The company
made improvements in margins and efficiency and thenet profit
attributable to shareholders increased to QR186.6mn, compared
to QR182.4mn achieved in FY2018. EPS improved to QR0.93 in
FY2019 compared to QR0.91 reported in FY2018. The board of
directors has proposed 85% cash dividend on the paid up capital
of QR0.85 per share totaling QR170mn for FY2019, which is
subject to approval of the shareholder at the Annual General
Assembly. (QSE, Gulf-Times.com)

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF THE QSE INDEX
Source: Bloomberg
The QSE Index closed higher by 0.89% from the week before, and closed at the 9,934.1 level. The Index remains inside a wide range and the
Japanese candlestick formation suggests a possible bounce upwards if the recent lowest level is respected. We keep our immediate weekly
support at 9,450 and the resistance level at 10,400 points.
DEFINITIONS OF KEY TERMS USED IN TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicator – RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speedand change of price movements. The RSI oscillates between
0 to 100. The index is deemed to be overbought once the RSI approaches the 70 level, indicating that a correction is likely. On the other hand, if the RSI
approaches 30, it is an indication that the index may be getting oversold and therefore likely to bounce back.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator – The indicator consists of the MACD line and a signal line. The divergence or the convergence
of the MACD line with the signal line indicates the strength in the momentum during the uptrend or downtrend, as the case may be. When the MACD
crosses the signal line from below and trades above it, it gives a positive indication. The reverse is the situation for a bearish trend.
Candlestick chart – A candlestick chart is a price chart that displays the high, low, open, and close for a security. The ‘body’ of the chart is portion between
the open and close price, while the high and low intraday movements form the ‘shadow’. The candlestick may represent any time frame. We use a one-day
candlestick chart (every candlestick represents one trading day) in our analysis.
Doji candlestick pattern – A Doji candlestick is formed when a security's open and close are practically equal. The pattern indicates indecisiveness, and
based on preceding price actions and future confirmation, may indicate a bullish or bearish trend reversal.
ShootingStar/Inverted Hammer candlestick patterns – These candlestick patterns have a small real body (open price and close price are near to each other),
and a long upper shadow (large intraday movement on the upside). The Shooting Star is a bearish reversal pattern that forms after a rally. The Inverted
Hammer looks exactly like a Shooting Star, but forms after a downtrend. Inverted Hammers represent a potential bullish trend reversal.
