company’s branch in Abu Dhabi, in order to continue its normal

company – Ooredoo decided to bid for the insolvent owner of
Turkey’s biggest telecommunications company to rival an
offer from Saudi Telecom Company, according to sources.
Ooredoo will seek to acquire Ojer Telekomunikasyon (Otas), a
special purpose vehicle that owns 55% of Turk
Telekomunikasyon. A purchase by Ooredoo would extend the
record of expanding to serve about 150mn customers from
Algeria to Myanmar, largely through acquisitions. The plan by
Saudi Telecom Company, which owns 35% of Otas’s parent,
Oger Telecom, involves buying the company via $750mn cash
injection and committing to restructure a further $4bn of debt.

of a direct feeder service between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
Colombo and Chittagong would be the seventh and eighth new

industry in Bangladesh, a high growth market, a Milaha’s
spokesman said. Milaha’s President and CEO, Abdulrahman
Essa Al Mannai said, “We have seen a great response to the
direct and fast services that we launched between Qatar and
some key South Asian markets earlier this year, and this has
encouraged us to continue our strategic expansion into new
markets. We believe the BCX service will strongly enhance
connectivity to one of the fastest-growing markets in South

Raising FOL to boost foreign fund inflows by $5bn – Foreign
investment flows to Qatar market will increase by more than
$5bn if seven big listed firms raise their foreign ownership limit
(FOL) to 49%, a senior Qatar Stock Exchange (QSE) official
said. Making a presentation during the eighth annual investor
relations conference in Doha, QSE’s Products and Marketing
Development Director, Mohsin Mujtaba said that big listed
firms like QNB Group, Industries Qatar, Qatar Islamic Bank,
Kahrama, Barwa and Woqod should increase their FOL from
25% to 49% and Mesaieed from 15% to 49% to attract foreign
investment to the Qatari market. If such a move is taken by
these seven firms by mid-January next year, Mujtaba said, QSE
will attract guaranteed incremental passive inflows of $840mn
and potential incremental active inflows of $4.7mn. Increase in
individual ownership limit of Mesaieed Petrochemical Holding
Company (MPHC) and Woqod to 1% from 0.08% and 0.03%
respectively can also play a vital role in attracting foreign
investment to Qatar, he said. These moves will also help in
increasing Qatar's weight in MSCI emerging market index from
the current 0.5% to 0.89%, Mujtaba said, adding that the listed
companies should keep aside funds in the range of $5-10mn as
part of their liquidity provision plans to attract more investors
in the market. (Qatar Tribune)

CEO: New listings, IPOs to boost QSE – The new listings and
initial public offerings (IPOs) have the potential to strongly
rebound the Qatari bourse, according to its top official. “The
markets need fuel. I am sure with good IPOs, new listings this
(the present trough) will change positively,” Qatar Stock
Exchange’s (QSE) CEO, Rashid Bin Ali Al Mansoori told
reporters on the sidelines of a conference organized by the
Middle East Investors Relations Association. His optimism
comes in the backdrop of the QSE reporting more than 25%
losses year-to-date. He said the QSE is busy working on two
exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Doha Bank and Masraf Al
Rayan sponsored QETF and Al Rayan Qatar ETF respectively
are awaiting their market foray. (Gulf-Times.com)
QSE-listed companies urged to strengthen investor relations –
Qatar Stock Exchange (QSE) found that certain companies,
after they get listed, tend to become lethargic in
communicating with its investors and maintaining investor
relations (IR), and said they should strengthen IR to better
attract capital and investments. “We have seen some
companies, after getting listed, they slowdown their activities
3. Page 3 of 7
in IR,” QSE’s CEO Rashid Bin Ali Al Mansoori told a conference
organized by the Middle East Investor Relations Association
(MEIRA). In the light of the growing competition to attract
capital and investments, he said, QSE believes that IR is an
essential business support function that helps its listed
companies attract more investors, enhances credibility and
ultimately facilitates expansion and growth opportunities for
its companies. Although most of the companies have robust
strategies to engage with investors, he said there are some that
have slowed down in IR. (Gulf-Times.com)
BMI: Qatar to retain ‘investor confidence’ in medium term –
Strong fundamentals and limited scope for crisis escalation
will help retain investor confidence in Qatar over the near
term, enabling local banks to attract funding from outside the
region, albeit at higher risk premiums, BMI Research (BMI)
stated in a report. Funding pressures on the Qatari banking
sector resulting from the GCC diplomatic crisis will remain
manageable in the near term, as local banks retain investor
confidence and continue to benefit from strong government
support, the Fitch Group company stated. “We expect funding
pressures on Qatari banks resulting from the ongoing Gulf
diplomatic crisis to remain manageable in the months ahead.
GCC deposit outflows are slowing, and local authorities hold
sufficient foreign currency reserves to make up for any further
losses,” BMI stated. Beyond this, should the crisis drag out
over several years, then sentiment and growth would likely be
harder hit, posing more pronounced risks to sector stability and
profitability. Recent data from the Qatar Central Bank (QCB)
suggests that the pressure on Qatari banks’ funding emanating
from the GCC diplomatic crisis is easing, a trend BMI expects
will continue over the months ahead. (Gulf-Times.com)

UN official praises Qatar's commitment to sustainable
development agenda – Qatar has shown strong commitment to
the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development, as well as the Addis Ababa Action Plan, Liu
Zhenmin, Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social
Affairs of the United Nations said. Speaking at the opening
session of the high-level meeting to prepare for the Economic
and Social Council Forum on the Follow-Up of Financing for
Development, Liu Zhenmin praised Doha for hosting several
conferences, forums and international development
mechanisms, including the 2008 International Conference on
Financing for Development. He noted that the conference was
held at the height of the global economic crisis and managed to
mobilize the international community on the financing agenda
for development despite all the difficulties facing the world at
that time. “The development scene since the Doha Conference
witnessed many changes. However, the spirit of cooperation
and respect remained a legacy of that conference”, he added.

Oil market recovery to boost Qatar economy – The ongoing
recovery of the energy markets is likely to have a positive
impact on Qatar’s economy in 2018, as prices rise and demand
strengthens, according to Euromoney Qatar Conference
experts. However, they said companies and governments
would need to adapt to a shift in the demand pattern away
from Europe and the US to dynamic markets like Asia, and
push for lower carbon fuels. The Euromoney experts said, “For
nations like Qatar, which are investing in knowledge-based
economy and clean energy technologies, these market changes
could strengthen the nation’s economic position in the long-
term.” Oil prices recovery and rise in production at the new
Barzan facility, would scale up Qatar’s gas production by more
than 20%, they said. (Qatar Tribune)

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF THE QSE INDEX
Source: Bloomberg
The Index closed with another marginal decline for the week (1.06% at 7,742.46 vs last week). We have mentioned in previous weekly comments that the
Index may move around the 8,000; it still does. That being said, the Index remains relatively stable around the current levels and volumes have increased,
suggesting more buying forces are coming in at these levels. The MACD and the RSI remain at their oversold levels. As a result, relief rallies possibility is
increasing.
DEFINITIONS OF KEY TERMS USED IN TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicator – RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and 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.
Shooting Star/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.
