ERF Conference on “Arab Oil Exporters: Coping with a New Global Oil Order”
Kuwait, November 26-27, 2017
www.erf.org.eg
The Indian economy has shown promising growth prospects in 2014-15 compared to other large economies. Growth revived in 2013-14 and gained strength in 2014-15 due to declining oil prices, increased funds flows, and reform initiatives by the new central government. However, continued subdued global demand and challenges in agriculture, skills, and infrastructure pose risks. Advance Estimates for 2014-15 show strong domestic demand has kept growth momentum despite sluggish exports due to global slowdown.
The document analyzes the Indian budget for 2016 and its potential impacts. It discusses three main themes of past budgets: consumption orientation, capital orientation, and socialistic orientation. The 2016 budget aims to boost consumption, focus on agriculture and rural development, maintain fiscal discipline, and stimulate growth through infrastructure spending and other reforms. The budget is expected to help corporate earnings and economic growth over the medium term, making current market valuations attractive for long term investors.
This document provides a summary of the Economic Survey of India for the fiscal year 2015-2016. It is divided into 10 chapters that cover the following topics:
1. Macroeconomic outlook and prospects for the Indian economy.
2. Fiscal framework and need to revisit fiscal policy given new government and Finance Commission recommendations.
3. Role of technology in direct cash transfers to reduce poverty and vulnerability.
4. Analysis of stalled infrastructure projects and their impact on private investment.
5. Diagnosis of issues in banking sector and need for reforms.
6. Role of railways in driving future growth.
7. Debate around manufacturing vs services sectors for economic transformation.

1) Real GDP growth in Kuwait slowed to an estimated 1.3% in 2014 due to flat hydrocarbon production and lower non-hydrocarbon investment.
2) Inflation increased to 2.9% in 2014 as population growth pushed up housing rents and demand for goods.
3) The current account surplus narrowed to an estimated 35.5% of GDP in 2014, reflecting lower oil export receipts and rising imports on domestic demand.
The document provides an economic outlook for Qatar for the years 2016-2018. Some of the key points from the outlook include:
- Real GDP growth is expected to be 3.9% in 2016 and 3.8% in 2017, driven by continued growth in the non-hydrocarbon sector. Overall growth is expected to moderate to 3.2% in 2018.
- Inflation is projected to rise gradually each year, reaching 3.4% in 2016, 3.6% in 2017, and 3.8% in 2018, due to domestic factors like subsidy removal and potential increases in global commodity prices.
- For the first time in 15 years, Qatar is expected to run a fiscal deficit
Riyadh Real Estate Market Overview 2015 - EnglishNaveed Iqbal
Century21 Saudi is Saudi Arabia's largest real estate firm with offices in major cities. The document discusses the Riyadh real estate market overview, including:

- During H1-2015, residential sales decreased due to new mortgage restrictions and planned land tax, while rents increased slightly. Villa prices decreased 5-12% in some areas.
- The government aims to regulate the land market and increase affordable housing supply through the new land tax on undeveloped urban plots

This document contains a series of tweets from the Twitter account @GambarBijak encouraging people to keep moving forward in life. While challenges may arise, it is important not to get stuck and give up but instead continue moving ahead despite difficulties. Perseverance and persistence are needed to progress in life.
The document summarizes a study that examined whether students can perceive how much their teachers enjoy teaching different subjects or topics. Surveys were given to students and teachers to rate their interest in various topics on a scale of 1 to 5. The results showed that students generally believed their teachers enjoyed teaching the subjects. However, students did not accurately perceive their teachers' actual feelings towards different topics based on comparisons between student and teacher surveys. Teachers were better able to perceive their students' feelings than vice versa. The study suggests students have difficulty perceiving their teachers' attitudes towards specific topics within a subject.

The document summarizes a study that examined whether students can perceive how much their teachers enjoy teaching different subjects or topics. Surveys were given to students and teachers to rate their interest in various topics on a scale of 1 to 5. The results showed that students generally believed their teachers enjoyed teaching the subjects. However, students did not accurately perceive their teachers' actual feelings towards different topics based on comparisons between student and teacher surveys. Teachers were better able to perceive their students' feelings than vice versa. The study suggests students have difficulty perceiving their teachers' attitudes towards specific topics within a subject.

This article analyzes the economic impact of cheap grain imports from North America into Europe between 1870-1913. Falling transport costs led to a dramatic decline in grain prices in Britain but price convergence was less pronounced in other European countries. Cheaper grain meant lower rents for landowners throughout Europe, while protectionist policies boosted rents. Cheap grain also increased real wages in Britain but lowered them elsewhere in Europe. The varying effects across countries partly explain why different trade policies were pursued on the continent during this period.

The student created concept art for a unique sword with two blades for a photorealistic graphic style game. They drew the sword by hand, scanned it, and used Pixlr photo editing software to add color and fix mistakes. For the second concept art, they used different shades of gray on the blades and a faded brush effect on the sharp ends to make the sword look dangerous. For the third concept art, they added brown to the handle to make it stand out from other swords. Multiple shades of gray were applied to the blade to make it more visually interesting.

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

Emir announces series of steps for private sector, EQ and QDB to be merged – In a major decision to support the growth of country’s private sector, the Qatar government will restrict state-funded companies from entering into direct competition with private firms. The Emir HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani announced that the government had issued a circular directing public sector entities not to establish companies or engage in economic activities in sectors, where private players are active, without prior permission from the Office of the Prime Minister. He said the government has initiated a series of other steps to help the private sector play a proactive role in the Qatari economy. The Emir said the falling oil prices will not impact Qatar’s economy. The country’s budget is based on very conservative estimates of oil prices. However, those responsible for handling the state funds must not mishandle funds and indulge in extravaganza. In another major announcement, Emir said the government is in the process to merge Enterprise Qatar (EQ) and Qatar Development Bank (QDB) to further strengthen the private sector. Directives have been issued to the government to ensure all the major projects of the country are completed in a time-bound manner. The Office of the Prime Minister has been asked to prepare plans with a practicable timetable to solve issues related to the establishments of warehouses, development of logistic zones, economic zones, industrialization plans and issuing licenses to new factories. Directives have also been issued to the government to make sure the economic zones and the New Port Project are completed within a specific time frame.

QNBK: Qatar crude output may stabilize to 700,000 bpd – QNB Group (QNBK), in its latest edition of the monthly monitor, said that Qatar’s crude oil production fell in September to 690,000 barrels per day (bpd), due to weak global demand but Qatar Petroleum’s (QP) "redevelopment" plans should stabilize output at around 700,000 bpd. In recent years, QP has implemented a redevelopment program to ensure steady production levels at its oilfields. This heavy investment in existing oilfields, such as Bul Hanine, Al Shaheen and Dukhan, should lead to oil production stabilizing at around 700,000 bpd. The stagnant Eurozone economy, the large Q2 contraction in Japan and the slowdown in emerging markets are all contributing to the weakness in hydrocarbon demand and putting downward pressure on international oil prices. The report showed that Qatar’s international reserves increased $0.3bn to reach an all-time high of $43.8bn at the end of September. This compares to a level of $39.3bn at the end of September 2013. The large increase reflects the strong current account surplus Qatar is enjoying. The latest data showed that the import cover stood at 8.2 months at the end of September 2014, well above the IMF-recommended level of three months for pegged exchange rates. Going forward, QNBK expects international reserves to rise further in 2014 and 2015 on
continued high current account surpluses. QNBK said citing new data published by the Ministry of Development Planning & Statistics (MDPS) that the share of investment in Qatar’s GDP rose to 30.4% in 2Q2014, as compared to 27.9% a year earlier. This is driven by the implementation of major projects in preparation for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. As a result, the non- hydrocarbon real GDP growth continued to expand at a double- digit rate (11.3%) in 2Q2014. The share of private consumption to GDP rose to 14.5% in 2Q2014 (13.9% a year earlier). The share of private consumption remains low by international standards, but is expected to rise over the medium-term. Looking ahead, QNBK said large-scale infrastructure spending and population growth are expected to drive growth in construction, manufacturing and transportation, while hydrocarbon production is expected to recover.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF THE QSE INDEX
Source: Bloomberg
The QSE Index maintained its bullish momentum for the fourth consecutive week and moved higher around 139 points to settle at 13,729.78. Apart from Tuesday and Wednesday, which witnessed profit-booking the index gained in every trading session. Moreover, the index recaptured the 13,600.0 and 13,700.0 psychological levels on the back of comparatively higher volumes than the prior week making further headway. However, the index failed for the third straight time to close above the 55-day moving average on a weekly basis, causing some doubt on its upward momentum. We believe the bulls would be under complete control only if the index manages to clear and sustain above the 55-day moving average and the 13,850.0 level. If this happens the index will get a breakout and advance further toward the 14,000.0 psychological mark. On the downside, 13,700.0 followed by 13,600.0 may provide strong psychological support for the index. Meanwhile, both the momentum indicators are stalling, indicating lack of clarity in the index’s direction.
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.
