Gulf states spending on rail projects tops $ 106.2bn
The six Gulf states have $106.2bn worth of railway projects under construction as they tackle poor public transports networks and growing populations, a report said Sunday. Oil-rich Saudi Arabia, the wealthiest economy in the Gulf, leads the field with 23 rail projects worth an estimated $25.6bn, data from market research firm Ventures Middle East said. The kingdom holds a 24 percent share of the region’s railway developments, its largest being the $6bn Makkah-Madina track set to link Saudi’s holiest cities. Qatar, which is gearing up to spend $100bn on overhauling its infrastructure ahead of the 2020 World Cup, has a 23 percent share of the Gulf’s rail market thanks to its $25bn Qatar National Rail Scheme. The gas-rich emirate’s integrated rail system will link into the GCC Railway network, a $30bn planned track that will connect all six Gulf emirates by 2017. Qatar’s portion alone is expected to create 7,000 jobs, the chairman of Qatar Railways Company Ghanem bin Saad Al Saad said last week. In the UAE, eight railway projects are underway with a combined value of $20.6bn. The largest of these – the $11bn, 2,500km Emirates Railway Project – will also connect the country to neighbouring Oman and Saudi Arabia on completion in 2017. Other key rail projects include Kuwait’s $17bn national rail, road and metro system, Oman’s National Freight and Passenger Railway, valued at $10bn, and Bahrain’s Rapid Transport Network at an estimated $8bn.

Saudi Arabia comes closer to china with crude deal
Saudi Arabia's Aramco is building on its ties with China, with plans to supply crude to a refinery in the southwest of the country, where Beijing is building an oil and gas pipeline that slices through Myanmar. Aramco Overseas Company, a subsidiary of Saudi Aramco, said it had signed a memorandum of understanding with PetroChina Company, a subsidiary of China's state-owned oil giant CNPC, this week. The deal involves the "planned development" of a 10 million metric tonnes per annum "grassroots full conversion refinery" in Yunnan, the Chinese province that borders on Myanmar. "Saudi Aramco will supply the project company with up to 200,000 barrels per day of Arabian crude via a long-term contract," according to an Aramco press release. The announcement did not say how the oil would be delivered to land-locked Yunnan. But it appears likely the oil could ultimately come through Myanmar, formerly called Burma. "The deal is not concluded yet. It's an MOU, so we are going to pursue feasibility and study the project, and we hope we will come to the right commercial terms, and the right deal that will make it profitable," Khalid Al Falih, the President and CEO of Aramco, told Reuters on Sunday at a forum in Beijing. CNPC is building the China-Myanmar oil and gas pipelines, intended to bring energy supplies overland from the Middle East, via a crude oil port in Myanmar, which CNPC is also building. This pipeline will make the Saudi crude very competitive because it would slash the journey time through the congested Malacca Strait that links Asia with the Middle East. The deal also underscores China's efforts to secure oil and gas supplies from the Middle East, even as uprisings across the region and fighting in Libya cast uncertainty over pricing and security of supply. China, the world's No 2 oil user, is passing the United States as Riyadh's largest crude oil buyer with volumes poised to touch an average of 1 million barrels per day this year, or roughly one-fifth of China's total crude imports. "China is growing into a 12 million barrel market, and geographically we are the supplier of choice," Falih said. "We are the most reliable, we have the largest reserves, the largest spare capacity, so I think 20 percent of the market will not be unthinkable, and certainly somewhere along those lines would be something that we're working towards," he added. The deepening of China-Saudi ties comes as Saudi Arabia's military intervention in Bahrain has exposed diplomatic rifts between Riyadh and Washington. Chinese President Hu Jintao on Friday met with a special envoy for the Saudi King Abdullah to discuss the situation in the Gulf and the wider Middle East, a region China has limited influence in, despite being a big oil buyer. Aramco, the world's top crude oil exporter, said this week it had signed an MOU with Sinopec Group to jointly build a $10bn Yanbu refinery on the Saudi Red Sea coast. The proposed Yunnan refinery will produce ultra low-sulphur gasoline, diesel and other refined products. Aramco has already partnered with Sinopec, another Chinese oil giant, at a joint venture Fujian plant in southeast China. As the kingdom locks in future oil demand through refinery joint ventures in China, China has in turn secured big contracts in Saudi Arabia. A Chinese firm has built a light rail system to ferry pilgrims from Mecca to holy sites. Yet despite China's growing energy and trade ties with Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern states, Beijing lacks the will and means to take on a strong political and security role in the region, analysts say.

Home Centre eyes Saudi, UAE, India expansion in 2011
Home Centre, the regional retailer, aims to add 17 new outlets to its global portfolio by the end of 2011. Occupying more than 2.89 million sq ft of retail space, Home Centre currently has 12 shops in the UAE and boasts 71 stores across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and the Indian subcontinent. But the company, part of the Landmark Group, told Arabian Business that it has plans to add another 17 this year in four countries. It is looking to open a further 11 stores in India, four shops in Saudi Arabia, one in the UAE and another in Lebanon. Home Centre, which revealed its revamped brand identity in March 2010 in the UAE, has started the process of deploying the new look across its retail network in the GCC. Progressing in a phased approach, its stores across Kuwait and Saudi Arabia have recently been revamped to reflect the new brand aesthetics. Jonathan Jagtiani, CEO, Home Centre, said: "Conceptualised in the UAE over 15 years ago, Home Centre aims to fill the gap that existed in the home furnishing and décor space. "We continue our efforts towards maintaining the right product mix and a strong value-for-money proposition - factors essential for our growth." Source: Arabian Business

Saudi TASI may end year at 6,600 to 7,000, Jadwa says
Saudi Arabia’s benchmark index may close the year between 6,600 and 7,000 points as political unrest in the region may limit gains from government spending, according to Jadwa Investment. "While two substantial government spending packages will boost the economy, regional tensions are likely to linger through this year and weigh on investor sentiment," Jadwa said in a research note. The fair value for the Tadawul All Share Index at the end of the year is around 7,400, "but the political uncertainty elsewhere in the region means this level is not likely to be reached," Jadwa said. Tadawul All Share Index has lost 8.3 percent this year and closed 1 percent higher at 6.069.94 on March 16. Source: Reuters

Saudi chief says Gulf single currency will take time
A Gulf monetary union is still in its early stages and the launch of a common currency will take time, Saudi Arabia's central bank governor said in remarks published on Saturday. "The Gulf monetary union project is huge and we are still in the foundation stage," Muhammad Al-Jasser told Al-Hayat newspaper. "There are no important economic actions or projects held up on this common currency... that is why we will take the right time for it, but this does not mean that we will be sluggish in working on it," he added. Jasser did not give a date for when he expects the currency to be launched. Central bankers from oil producing Gulf states met in Doha last week and discussed some of the necessary steps needed to achieve a common currency. The UAE and Oman withdrew from the plans for the common currency but Jasser said he hopes that they re-join when the time is right for them. "This is their choice ... each country has its own circumstances and we respect that. We hope that they come back to the monetary council when the situation is right for them," he said.

Saudi plans to boost crude burn for power generation
Saudi deputy minister for electricity Saleh Alawaji has said the kingdom plans to increase its use of crude for power generation in 2011, as the country balances use of a new oilfield against obligations to OPEC, Reuters has reported. "Our main sources are crude oil and natural gas, and the new expansion of power plants this year will use more crude oil," Alawaji told reporters on the sidelines of an industry conference in Singapore. Power generation capacity in the kingdom is likely to grow by about 6% to 10% this year, while installed power generation capacity, which now stands at 50 GW, would grow to 77 GW by 2020.
