Fresh Almarai investments to create 12,000 jobs for Saudis
CEO Abdulrahman A. Al-Fadley said the company's total investment had reached SR 8 billion. This includes SR 2 billion to expand the dairy sector, SR 4 billion for the development of the poultry sector and SR 1 billion to set up the Kingdom's first baby milk plant. "The total output of Saudi dairy companies meets only 45 percent of the local demand while Saudi poultry farms meet 56 percent of demand," he told a press conference. Currently, Almarai has more than 4,700 Saudi employees on its payroll, said the CEO. He said career development programs equip Almarai employees with more technical skills to enable them to increase their efficiency. Almarai has set up a food processing academy established in conjunction with a reputed international organization, he said. Almarai is also involved in the University Students Co-operation Training program, said the CEO. Addressing a press conference, company CEO Abdulrahman A. Al-Fadley disclosed Almarai's decision to purchase three fodder farms in Argentina, while voicing concerns over the rising prices of animal feed. Al-Fadley also predicted a dramatic increase in demand for food products in Saudi Arabia and other countries of the region. Source: Zawya

SMEs, ministry work to reduce investment red tape
Business owners met with the undersecretary of the Commerce Ministry at a forum organized by the SME Development Committee at Riyadh Chamber of Commerce and industry (RCCI). The forum, which was attended by RCCI Board Chairman Abdulrahman Al-Jeraisy and Board of Trustees chairman of Riyadh Center for SME Development Khalaf Al-Shammari, touched on thematic issues related to the guidelines and arrangements on how to launch free businesses and the principles of project appraisal by lending agencies. Undersecretary of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry for Industrial Affairs Qasim Al-Maimani said the ministry had adopted a series of steps to remove obstacles and simplify measures for investors. For instance, commercial registration process could be finalized in one day and industrial licenses will now take three days instead of one month to finalize. Customs exemptions will take one month instead of eight months, he said. Meanwhile, Hamad Al-Khudair, head of projects assessment at Saudi Credit and Saving Bank (SCSB), said SCSB tries to shorten the time on decision to extend loans. However, some attendees resented the SCSB mechanism for clearing loans, noting it is time-consuming and frustrates ambitions of the entrepreneurs. Abdulaziz Imail, director general of the SME Support Program at the Ministry of Labor, said the ministry plans to establish a national center for SMEs. According to estimates, 67 percent of Saudi young entrepreneurs do not know how to enter labor market and that 790,000 SME firms operating in the Kingdom have only 9 percent of Saudi workforce, he said. The Kingdom needs 36 initiatives to launch a business entity for SMEs, he added. Mohammed Al-Absi, acting director of the Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF), said the mechanism followed by HRDF to provide financial support to investors. Nabil Al-Mubarak, director general of Saudi Credit Bureau (SIMAH), stressed the credit record and the role of credit behavior in the realization of Saudi young ambitions. He expressed wonder why 80 percent of loan applications are rejected by Saudi banks. On the other hand, some attendees said they appreciated the government efforts in supporting youths to set up free businesses but said such efforts need more coordination in light of dominance of foreign workforce over SME activities. Al-Jeraisy, who presided over the forum, said SMEs used to employ 70 percent of citizens in so many countries and have a share of 37 to 62 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) of those countries whereas the SME projects in the Kingdom are employing nearly 25 percent of the workforce of which 75 percent are foreigners.

Top marks for Saudi universities as new admissions hit record
JEDDAH: Vice Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Prince Salman yesterday commended Saudi universities for admitting a record number of students during this academic year (2012-13). Prince Salman made this comment while receiving Higher Education Minister Dr. Khaled Al-Anqari and presidents of Saudi universities at his office in Al-Salam Palace. Prince Salman reiterated the government's commitment to Shariah and highlighted the tremendous progress achieved by the Kingdom under the leadership of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah. Al-Anqari briefed Prince Salman on the measures taken by his ministry to ensure a smooth launch of the new academic year, admitting the largest number of students compared to previous years. According to Mohammed Alhizan, spokesman of the ministry, 258,617 students have been admitted to 25 government universities across the Kingdom for the new academic year. The new admissions covered 71 percent of 360,343 available seats. Alhizan said 126,833 male students and 131,784 female students had been accepted by the end of August. About 87 percent of applicants were admitted to the regular full-time programs, he said. Also yesterday, Prince Salman received the newly appointed Saudi ambassadors Hisham Al-Qahtani (ambassador to Brazil), Adnan Al-Mandil (Gabon) and Saeed Al-Jumaie (Cuba) and wished every success for them.

Saudi banks's net profits up strongly in 7 months
JEDDAH — Saudi banks netted more than SR21 billion in the first seven months of 2012 as lending continued to gain momentum and allow them to net one of their highest incomes in many years, latest data from the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA) showed. SAMA’s monthly report showed the banks’ net earnings stood at SR21.34 billion during January-July, an average of more than SR3 billion a month. It showed banks earned SR3.46 billion in January, SR3.1 billion in February and SR2.6 billion in March, a quarterly income of nearly SR9.3 billion. The income in the second quarter stood at SR8.8 billion while it stood at SR3.23 billion in July. Recovering credit allied with higher commission and investment return boosted Saudi banks’ net profits by nearly 18 percent to around SR30.9 billion in 2011 from nearly SR26.1 billion in 2010. The surge marked a return to profit growth by the banking sector after a decline in the previous four years. Saudi Arabia’s banks netted their highest profits of SR34.6 billion in 2006 before the income slumped to SR30.2 billion in 2007. Slackening domestic credit, allied with a rise in provisions, cut Saudi banks’ net profits to around SR26.8 billion in 2009 from SR29.9 billion in 2008. Profits again slipped to SR26.1 billion in 2010 before bouncing up to SR30.9 billion in 2011, their highest level since 2006 and the second highest in banks’ history. SAMA’s figures showed banks’ claims on the private sector swelled by about 10 percent in the first seven months of 2012 and 10.7 percent through 2011. Credit grew by nearly 5.5 percent in 2010 and was dormant in the previous year. Saudi banks have the second largest asset base in the Arab region after UAE banks, with their combined assets standing at SR1.62 trillion (AED1.60 trillion) at the end of July against about AED1.72 trillion for UAE banks in June. — SG/Agencies Source: Saudi Gazette

Saudi residential rents rise strongly in H1 2012
RIYADH — Amid massive demand for housing in Saudi Arabia among both Saudi nationals and expatriates, villa prices, compound occupancy and rental rates have continued the upward trajectory in the first half of 2012, property expert CBRE said Monday in its review on Saudi residential markets. Rental rate increases for villas in Riyadh have been significant over the first half of 2012 at around 10 percent per annum, but these have lagged the rental rate increases for apartments for which there is very strong demand due to the largely price-sensitive nature of the majority of the market. Rental rates for apartments have risen by a rate closer to 15 percent per annum, although this naturally has varied by type, pricing and location, with the greatest increases being experienced in northern districts. Compound occupancy and rental rates have also been strong as employment opportunities have been created for middle and upper-income expatriates and increases in supply have lagged behind the rapid increase in demand. Inevitably, this surge in compound performance has led to a significant increase in construction activity in the compound sector and it remains to be seen how the balance between demand and supply will play out. In Jeddah, average villa prices have risen by a rate of around 10 percent per annum in all northern and western parts over the first half of 2012, although price increases have been less significant in the lower-income southern areas of Jeddah. Apartment prices are reported to have risen across most areas of Jeddah but this is mostly a response to land price pressures rather than strong levels of demand. Consistent with all other areas of Saudi Arabia, apartment purchases are not preferred by Saudi nationals. An example of the lack of demand for primary home apartment purchase can be demonstrated at the Jeddah Gate project where only 160 apartments out of the 273 available in the first phase of the development have been sold — after four years of marketing, the report said. Improved road connections and infrastructure also opened up new areas for residential accommodation, particularly those areas where land is less expensive than the more central areas targeted by land price speculators, the report added. CBRE pointed out that apartment sales continued to be weak in overall terms with some well-documented failures in this sector, although apartments can relatively easily be rented out due to the intensity of the need for accommodation. "If developers have the ability to respond to these market conditions by renting out unsold apartments, they are able to achieve strong rental returns," the property expert said in the report. It is estimated that somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 residential units have been completed in Jeddah in the first half although these are typically contained within small developments of 30 units or less — a similar characteristic to projects undertaken by the private sector in Riyadh, the report added. An example of the lack of demand for primary home apartment purchase can be seen at the Jeddah Gate project where only 160 apartments out of the 273 available in the first phase of the development have been sold — after four years of marketing, the industry expert said in its report. Rental rates for apartments have risen by a rate closer to 15 percent per annum, although this naturally has varied by type, pricing and location, with the greatest increases being experienced in northern districts, it added. The CBRE pointed out that housing needs remained a pressing issue in Saudi Arabia. The challenges faced by Dar Al Arkan for example, in selling price-sensitive accommodation at the Al Qasr project in Riyadh shows the contradictions between demand, the ability of Saudis to purchase housing and the mismatch between expectations and reality in terms of scale and quality. This is partly driven by the absence of a secondary housing market, which means that a Saudi national’s first purchased home is likely to be the only home they ever purchase, the report stated. The issue of build quality is key with traditional building techniques and quality leaving houses virtually obsolete over a 30 year period, the expert pointed out. "Apartments are much less popular due to their limitations in terms of expansion, but also privacy, build quality, management and maintenance of common areas and a number of other core issues are central demotivators," the report noted. Land price speculation typically means that villa or townhouse projects are unable to meet the critical price constraints of the market, it further said. — SG Source: Saudi Gazette

Kingdom’s steadfast support for Yemen’s recovery praised
JEDDAH: Vice Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Prince Salman yesterday held talks with Yemeni Prime Minister Mohammed Basindawa at his office in Al-Salam Palace on major regional and international issues. Prince Salman and Basindawa also reviewed bilateral relations and explored ways of strengthening cooperation between the two countries. Basindawa thanked Saudi Arabia for its support to Yemen in all areas. “The Yemeni government and people appreciate this continuous Saudi support,” the prime minister said. Basindawa, who was in the Kingdom to attend a meeting of global donors in Riyadh, later flew back to Yemen. The Riyadh meeting mobilized $ 6.4 billion aid for Yemen’s reconstruction. Finance Minister Ibrahim Al-Assaf signed three agreements with Yemeni International Cooperation Minister Mohammed Al-Saadi detailing Saudi aid package, which includes a $ 1 billion deposit in Yemen’s Central Bank, a $ 1.75 billion grant, and $ 500 million to finance and guarantee Saudi exports to Yemen.

Ministry: Sold goods are returnable
JEDDAH: Vendors are legally obliged to accept and refund counterfeit, non-repairable or defective goods from consumers. The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has announced a ban on the term “goods sold are not refundable” currently being used in some advertisements and stores. Inspections will be carried out to ensure all vendors comply with the wording ban. Commercial printers will also be held accountable for print advertisements that carry the term. Naser Aal Tuwaim, executive president of the Consumer Protection Association (CPA) said they had asked for a regulation specifying the conditions and time limit for consumers to return goods. “There are major violations occurring in terms of product exchanges, returns, and refunds in local markets,” he said.
