1 Saudi Arabian economy Economic Research March 214 Research Department Md. Rahmatullah Khan, Economic analyst Tel: , Saudi Arabian Economy Saudi Arabia s sovereign rating was upgraded by Fitch Ratings from AA- to AA with Stable outlook on strong fundamental factors. This will lead to upgrade of selective corporate ratings in the future, which were capped due to lower sovereign rating. On a separate note, the Saudi government, in its efforts to diversify the economy, announced the creation of a new investment company with a capital of SAR2bn to invest in industries with a comparative advantage. This will be an additional government specialized credit institution (GSCI), and will be owned by PIF (5%), Sabic (25%) and Aramco (25%). The existing GSCIs have played a crucial role in supporting the growth and diversification in recent years, especially in the post economic crisis period. Net lending of these institutions has been around 3% of the commercial banks lending between Q1 29 and Q3 213, while the loan outstanding stood at 24% of that of commercial banks at the end of Q The domestic oil production trended downward in February from a revised up production in January. Non-oil exports continued its growth momentum in January, whereas total imports remained weak. Inflation moderated further while monetary indicators remained largely stable. Credit rating upgraded Fitch Ratings upgraded Saudi Arabia s sovereign credit rating from AA- to AA with Stable outlook. The rating has been upgraded on account of robust growth, especially in the non-oil sector, strong fundamental factors such as almost negligible general government debt, foreign reserves of 1% of GDP, strong fundamentals of the banking sector and labor reforms that have boosted the locals employment in the private sector. The rating agency highlights two major risks 1) a material erosion of fiscal and external buffers, stemming from a prolonged period of sharply lower oil prices or rapid growth in the fiscal breakeven oil price, and 2) spillover from regional conflicts or a domestic political shock that threatens stability. However, according to the agency, risks are balanced with an upside potential that emanates from the ongoing efforts to tackle the weakness in structural indicators and economic policy framework, enhancing business environment in ways conducive to diversification of the economy & revenue base. Crude production OPEC s preliminary estimate suggests that Saudi Arabia s crude production trended downward in February from an upwardly revised number in January. The estimated production stood at 9.625mbpd in February as compared to a revised production estimate of mbpd in January. The domestic production has been declining at a slower pace in spite of continued supply disruption in Libya and other countries, mainly due to rising non-opec supply. The crude production again dipped in Libya to just 341, bpd in February from 516, bpd in January. The average domestic production in the first two months of 214 stood at 9.67 mbpd as compared to the average production of 9.1 mbpd over the same period last year. However, the average Brent crude price in the first three months of 214 stood at US$17.8 per barrel as compared to US$112.6 per barrel over the same period a year ago. Non-oil foreign trade Non-oil exports continued its momentum registering a YoY growth of 12.7% in January, mainly driven by exports of plastics, rubber and their ancillary products that jumped 28% YoY. Exports of chemical products remained in a downward trend, declining 3.7% YoY. Exports of transport equipment and their ancillary products jumped from SAR477mn in January 213 to SARSAR1,689mn in January 214. On the other hand, the total imports remained in a declining trend for the third consecutive month. Imports declined by 9.5% YoY in January mainly due to a decline in the top two import categories. The imports of machinery & equipment declined 12.6% YoY, while the imports of transport equipment fell by 21% YoY. Disclosures Please refer to the important disclosures at the back of this report. 1
2 March 214 Inflation remained on moderating trend Credit growth seems to have stabilized, while deposits growth outpaced it for the second month in a row Inflation Consumer inflation moderated further to 2.8% YoY in February, mainly due to moderation in food inflation (4.6% in February vs 5% in January) and price decline in clothing & footwear (-.4%) and miscellaneous goods (-.4%). The cost of transport also declined by 2.7% YoY, sixth monthly decline in a row. On the other hand, rent, water and electricity inched up slightly to 4% in February from 3.7% in January. Monetary and credit developments Credit to private sector from commercial banks expanded at a slightly lower rate, 12.2% YoY in February (vs 12.3% YoY in January). Loans, advances and overdrafts increased 11.8% YoY while commercial banks investment in private securities jumped 23.4% YoY. On the other hand, deposits growth outpaced credit growth for the second month in a row. The deposit growth was 13.9% YoY in February which was also higher as compared to the 13.3% YoY in January even though demand deposits slowed down to 15.7% from 17.3%. However, total deposits was boosted by other quasi monetary deposits that jumped 17.8%, and supported by the time & savings deposits that grew 7.3% YoY (vs 5.3% in January). Slower demand deposits growth resulted into slower M1 and M2 growth. However, sharp jump in other quasi monetary deposits pushed broader measure of money supply, M3 growth higher at 13.2% YoY in February as compared to 12.8% YoY in January. Figure 1 Deposits have picked up Figure 2 while money supply remains in a range 18% 16% 14% YoY 35% 3% YoY 12% 25% 1% 2% 8% 6% 4% 15% 1% 2% 5% % % Credit growth Deposit growth M1 M2 M3 Source: SAMA, Al Rajhi Capital Source: SAMA, Al Rajhi Capital Government created another credit company with paid-up capital of SAR2bn which plans to invest SAR7.45bn in the next five years Existing government credit institutions have played an important role in supporting economic activities in the post economic crisis period An addition to the government specialized credit institutions (GSCIs) The Saudi government has created a new public finance company Saudi Arabian Industrial Development Company infusing a capital of SAR2bn to invest in industrial projects in the country. The Public Investment Fund will contribute 5% of the capital, while SABIC and Aramco will contribute 25% each. The new company will invest around SAR7.45bn over the next five years in petrochemicals, plastics, iron & steel, aluminum and other basic industries. This is a new initiative by the government as it has many specialized credit institutions that provide credit to different sectors of the economy. The government specialized credit institutions namely Real Estate Development Fund (REDF), Saudi Industrial Development Fund (SIDF), Public Investment Fund (PIF), Saudi Credit & Savings Bank (SCSB) and Agricultural Development Fund (ADF) continue to play a crucial role in supporting the investments in the Saudi economy. The impressive loan growth, especially after the 28-9 global economic crisis underlines the fact that the government has not only supported the economic activities through direct spending, but also ensured credit availability through these specialized credit institutions. The gross disbursement from these institutions has Disclosures Please refer to the important disclosures at the back of this report. 2
