2 Weekly Economic Update Sunday, 04 March 2012 Recent Macroeconomic Developments Global EU Leaders sign fiscal discipline treaty to rein in debt All European Union (EU) countries, except the UK and Czech Republic, signed a new treaty on tighter budget discipline for the euro zone on Friday, under which countries are bound to write a 'golden rule' on balanced budgets into their national statutes, with automatic correction mechanisms if the rule is breached. The new treaty will now have to be ratified by the 25 EU signatory countries and it requires approval by at least 12 Eurozone countries to take effect. The deal was received with optimism but critics have doubted its credibility due to lack of an effective enforcement mechanism, arguing that the erstwhile fiscal deficit ceiling of 3% of GDP enshrined in the fiscal growth pact was flouted with impunity by both rich and poor countries alike. The deal may also be too little too late to address the immediate growth and competitiveness challenges facing the euro area as economic activities continue to falter and manufacturing indices remain below the 50 mark which separates growth from contraction. In addition, the new deal may not be enough to save Greece from the abyss despite securing a second bail-out fund. It is therefore not surprising that Moody's Investors Service, the rating agency, cut Greece's local and foreigncurrency bond ratings to C from Ca, bringing the country to its lowest possible level. There were, however, cheerful news coming from the eurozone as the European Central Bank (ECB) injected around 530 billion liquidity into the banking system, aimed at stabilising sovereign bond markets in debt-stressed countries. The ECB support, along with the new fiscal stability agreement, will boost confidence in the beleaguered euro.

3 MW Weekly Economic Update Sunday, 04 March 2012 Recent Macroeconomic Developments GCC Electricity demand in the GCC countries to accelerate Electricity demand is expected to more than double in the GCC countries within a decade, to exceed 162 thousand megawatts by 2020 compared with 80 thousand megawatts in Demographic dynamics, economic diversification efforts and infrastructure developments across the region are key drivers of growth in demand for electricity. Saudi Arabia, the most populous country in the region, will account for the lion s share of power consumption, expected to reach 78 thousand megawatts by 2020, followed by the UAE with 41 thousand megawatts. The rest of the GCC countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and Oman) will together have a combined demand of around 43 thousand mega watts in 10 years time. As fossil fuel, an exhaustible resource, is the principal feedstock for power generation in the region, this trend provides food for thought on the need for innovative policies towards energy efficiency as well as addressing renewable energy challenges. 90,000 80,000 70, Electricity demand forecasts in the GCC countries 60,000 50,000 40,000 30,000 20,000 10,000 0 Bahrain Kuwait Oman Qatar Saudi Arabia Abu Dhabi Dubai Source: MEED 3
