Real GDP growth forecast for 2012 and 2013 (%) - IMF
• Lower-than-expected oil prices
• Increase government spending
means that long-term dip in oil
prices will squeeze budgets
raising prospect of fiscal deficits
• Global recession due to
eurozone debt crisis, sluggish
US growth and further shocks
• Lack of growth and subsidy cuts
needed to maintain fiscal
discipline adds to social tensions
• Greater economic divide
• Banking sector problems – credit
remains a challenge

The risks to the outlook (IMF)
The regional economic outlook
The region as a whole and GCC in particular has a strongly positive macro environment
“The US will overtake Saudi Arabia and Russia to become the world’s largest global oil producer by the
second half of this decade”
“a drop in global oil prices would affect production , since tight oil
requires a high market price to be economic”
“US will be producing 11.1m b/d in 2020 compared with Saudi output
of 10.6m b/d. Saudi Arabia will have regained top spot by 2030 pumping 11.4m b/d compared
with the US’s 10.2m b/d”
Alarming headlines
WEO 2012 – implications
US oil output growth and softening of US demand means possible drop in oil price
Speed of US oil output growth means oil-exporters only have a 5 year window in which to enjoy high surpluses
Increasing importance of Iraq in the region, economically and probably politically
Universal natural gas demand means hydrocarbons investment focus must shift to gas production
Imperative for reduction in fuel subsidy in GCC/MENA without increase in tariffs, demands energy efficient buildings, transport, industry
Governments must invest while they have surpluses to invest
Governments have a narrow window of opportunity
Iraq to displace Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar as biggest projects’ market
Emphasis on previously uneconomic unassociated gas and gas recovery
Public transport, water re-use, green buildings, alternative energy

Big shift in this picture is due entirely to the inclusion of the Saudi nuclear and renewables programme. Iraq has potential to be at least as big as UAE

GCC award to completion ratio
In recent years Qatar has exhibited negative award to completion ratios suggesting that since the end of the LNG boom and the collapse of the real estate construction market, Qatar has been very conservative
GCC – Completions vs Awards
53%
• KSA awards proportionately more big contracts than GCC
• Count of contract awards actually increased after 2009 but will drop in 2012
• More contracts of $1bn or more were awarded in 2009, 2010, 2011 than in any other year
• Most contracts awarded in 2009, 2010, 2011 were in the $50-$100m band
• Inference: biggest and smallest projects have been the least susceptible to market conditions
• But in 2012, likely that the lowest value bands will see the biggest volume of awards

GCC – Key sectors: Transport
Biggest of the four Key Sectors at $140bn; energy efficient, West-East energy trade, GCC as a hub
Transport cashflow peak is reached in late 2016, but note that this accounts only for known masterplans.
Rail accounts for half of all awards in GCC and roads/rail infrastructure for 80% of transport spending
$139,594m
Cashflow
GCC – Key sectors: Renewables
Despite the early 2011 Fukushima disaster, Riyadh has remained firmly committed to nuclear. As part of its studies, Ka-Care drew up four different scenarios for its deployment, setting out various options for the schedule and size of the programme. The optimised scenario calls for the construction of 11 nuclear reactors with total capacity of 17,600MW by 2030, with the first due to be commissioned in 2020/21. The location of the first reactors will be finalised once Australia’s WorleyParsons completes in the third quarter of 2012 site investigation studies. Once finalised, Riyadh is expected to move swiftly in tendering the first batch of reactors given that it will need to award the initial contracts in 2013 if it is to hit its 2020/21 target.
The kingdom’s solar plans are even more ambitious, especially as it has only limited solar experience and installed capacity of less than 20MW. Ka-Care is targeting 41,000MW of capacity within 19 years of the programme being launched. This, it estimates, would save the kingdom an estimated 523,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day of hydrocarbons.
$89,925m
GCC – Key sectors: Gas
Few viable unassociated fields so investment is necessarily longer term (Khazzan, Dorra, Bab, Hail)
Immediate opportunities in energy capacity building limited to Oil
Qatar North Field moratorium may be lifted in 2015 – new wave of LNG investment?
$48,152m
Cashflow
GCC – Key sectors: Water
Double peak of transmission spending is Qatar (LRDP) and then longer Qatar projects supplemented by Riyadh sewerage
Transmission and treatment of sewage accounts for half of all spending between end 2010 and end 2020
$24,150m
Cashflow
Lack of activity in all sectors caused by political stalemate and uncertainty
Subiya causeway award in October changed the course of the weakest year of awards since 2009
KOC talking about long term plans for the oil sector, to increase output to 4m bpd by 2030 but time running out to meet 2020 clean Fuels deadline
No substantial Refinery projects and no movement yet on Clean Fuels or KNPC Refinery Projects
Volume of awards will be about the same in 2012 vs prior years but top end expectation unlikely to exceed $10.5bn – equivalent to 2010
Subiya causeway award may now give impetus to other urban dev projects in Kuwait City and Subiya itself
Kuwait – 2012 Outlook
Saudi Arabia – 2012 Outlook
Awards in June in Pet-chem and Power, masked lower than expected infra awards in H1 2012, in all but higher ed. 26 of the 148 contracts awarded by public bodies awarded by MOHE
Lack of activity in upstream and midstream sectors (delays to Jizan for instance)
Total value of awards in KSA was $32bn in first 9 months of 2012, compared with $55bn over the equivalent period in 2011
But potential value of infrastructure awards in the Kingdom as a proportion of total potential projects is lower than any other GCC market, even though value of projects is enormous in absolute terms ($80bn)
Big awards = just 6% of total number of contracts awarded in KSA, vs 18% in 2011 and 2011.
Volume of awards will actually increase in 2012 vs prior years but top end expectation unlikely to better 2009 ($59bn) at around $50bn.

Qatar: Number and Value of Awarded Contracts and Scheduled Awards 2012

Sum of contract value (Aug snapshot)
Count of projects (Aug snapshot)
Count of Projects
ScheduledScheduledAwarded(Sep snaphot)
(Sep snaphot)
Bid deadlines for $5bn worth of packages for Golden Line Tunneling package, Education City/ Msheireb Stations extended into Nov
Bid deadlines for Tunneling worth $6bn (Blue/Green lines) moved to end Oct
August’s analysis $22bn worth of contracts at late bidding scheduled for award Sept to Dec
Overall impact on project volumes/ values in 2012 significant only because full year expected to deliver 100+ contracts, worth in excess of $25bn.
There is still a possibility that the Red Line packages will be awarded on time
Qatar – 2012 Outlook
Volume of awards to drop to between 80 and 90 and top end expectation for 2012 only slightly up on 2011 ($14.5bn) at around $15-19bn.
Volume of awards to increase to between 170 and 190 and top end expectation for 2012 10% up on 2011 ($22.8bn) at around $25bn.
UAE – 2012 Outlook
Dubai led by Civil Construction (buildings and transport); as busy as 2009 (volume/value)
2012 recovery for Abu Dhabi led by award of ADAC midfield terminal award and Takreer carbon black: both $2bn+
Dubai shows almost as much activity but only one award worth more than $1bn (Aviation City)
Abu Dhabi also shows market led by civil, but a more even spread of spending across sectors; no obvious rebound since slump of H2 2012. UZ750 EPC2 still expected in December
Modest value of contract awards in Northern Emirates; Federal government spending accounts for 40%+ of awards including biggest project – Fujairah WDN
GCC – 2013 Outlook
Predicting $112bn full year 2012
Best case: $170bn full year 2013 if KSA rebounds, all scheduled Qatar projects are awarded
Mid case: $137bn full year 2013 if KSA has modest rebound, Qatar delays Gold, Blue and Green Line
