3 Saudi Arabia 2013 Budget another stimulatory budget audi 2013 budget foresees a 19% increase in expenditure to SAR 820 billion from the SAR 690 budgeted figures in 2012, indicating that Saudi S government is still taking an expansive spending approach. In the current global recessionary conditions, Saudi government is determent to sustain economic growth levels. While Saudi Economic structure has helped the kingdom to adopt an aggressive spending approach, it is worth mentioning that the most of this spending have concentrated on education and training, strengthening infrastructures and targeting more foreign investments. Expenditures Total expenditure is budgeted at SAR 820 billion in 2013, which is 19% higher than 2012 projected figure and making it the largest Saudi budget ever. In 2013, the government continues to target the socio economic infrastructures as it allocates significant portion of the projected expenditures to cover education, healthcare and social development programs. The government allocates 25% of its budget on education. Investment spending is budgeted at SAR 285 billion in 2013, indicating the largest portion of 2013 spending will go to current spending. The figure is 7.6% higher than the 2012 budgeted figure. and here are some of the key areas of priority emphasized by 2013 budget statement: Education and training budget allocation is SAR 204 billion in 2013 compared to SAR billion in 2012, an increase of 21%. In continuing to support the education sector, 2013 budget has allocated 25% of its expenditures to support different levels. The new budget has allocated SAR 3.6 billion to build 539 new schools, adding to the 1900 schools already under construction from the previous budget allocations. Moreover, the budget has allocated SAR billion to rehabilitate 2000 schools. Higher education has the lion s share in this budget, as the government allocated more than SAR 39.3 billion to complete the construction of university cities, university hospitals and to support King Abdullah scholarship programs. Furthermore, the current budget allocated SAR 3.5 billion to support technical and vocational training, compared to 1 billion in 2012 budget. 3 Economic Research Treasury Division
4 Health and social affairs budget allocation rose by 16% to SAR 100 billion in 2013 which accounts for 12% of the total budget allocations. The new allocations include new health projects to build a new 17 hospitals and healthcare centers. Meanwhile, Saudi government continues to support different social security programs. Municipality has planned to receive a SAR 36 billion in 2013, up from SAR 29 billion in The new allocations are to complete the old road projects and to build new intercity roads and bridges. Transportation and telecommunications budget allocation reached SAR 65 billion, which is 16% higher than 2012 and accounts for 8% of the total budget. The new allocation is expected to cover new roads, ports, railways and airports, in addition to the two industrial cities (Al Jubail and Yanbu ) and Ras Al khair (Minerals Industrial City). Budget allocation for water, agriculture and related infrastructure is SAR 57 billion in 2013, which is 11% higher than Financing is dedicated to provide drinking water and to enhance water resources, sewage services and for the construction of dams and wells. The largest government spending is allocated to other categories. It is more likely that defense and security spending is included in these categories. Other categories budget allocation equals SAR 290 billion which is 28% higher than Revenues Revenues in 2013 are budgeted at SAR 829 billion, which is 18% higher than 2012 budgeted fi gure. As Saudi budget does not disclose its revenue assumptions. We estimated that Saudi oil revenues will cover 90% of the total budget, with 9.7 mb/d production making the budgeted price around $70 pb, indicating a less conservative budget revenue estimation 4 Economic Research Treasury Division
5 Oil Market Outlook Oil Prices are expected to fall in 2013, as a reasonable result of the weak economic fundamentals around the world. Brent crude oil is projected to decline according to EIA from average $ 112 per barrel in 2012 to $104, while WTI price is estimated to decline from $89 per barrel in 2012 to $88. Meanwhile, Saudi export crude oil is expected to average $99 to $100 in World oil demand is expected to rise less than 1% as a result of uncertainty surrounding the future of global economic growth. (OPEC expected that oil consumption will increase in 2013 by 0.87% or (0.77 mb/d) y/y. OPEC expectations are not very far from IEA which expected oil demand to grow by 0.8 mb/d to 90.4 mb/d) In the light of the current economic slowdown, the outlook for oil consumption is still pessimistic; especially in the U.S and Europe (demand for OPEC crude is expected to decline by 0.4 mb/ d in 2013). Meanwhile, emerging markets like china is expected to maintain its position as the main driver for oil consumption growth around the Globe. According to OPEC 23.46% of total oil consumption is expected to go to Chain and other Asian countries. Non-OPEC oil Supply is expected to grow by 0.90 mb/d in 2013, reaching mb/d in average according to OPEC December Report. United States of America is expected to control the majority of this growth (U.S. oil supply is expected to increase by 0.41 mb/d to mb/d in average during 2013). On the flipside, the geopolitical events in the MENA region is expected to continue affecting oil supply as tensions in Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Sudan as well as the global sanctions over Iranian oil exports have decreased the supply by more than 1 mb/d in the last quarter of Saudi Arabia, among other GCC producers has worked to compensate for the shortage in the oil market. OPEC has showed no desire to change the output in the short-run, Saudi Arabia has promised in many occasions to keep adjusting its productions to meet the cus- 5 Economic Research Treasury Division
6 Albilad 2013 Budget Forecasting We expect a budget surplus of SAR 92.2 billion in We estimated Saudi Arabia oil production will average 9.7 mb/d. we estimate total oil revenues to the budget at SAR 986 billion and non-oil revenue at SAR 75 billion. Spending in 2013 is expected to be higher than what we have seen in the budget statement, out of the last year, Saudi Arabia actual government spending has averaged 22.3% higher than the budgeted amount from 2000 till In line with the historical trend we are expecting an actual spending of SAR 1,043. According to news Saudi government plans to pay $100 billion in a plan to reorganize Mecca area and expand the grand mosque to accommodate a 2 million pilgrims at all times, more than $10 billion to be spent next year. Furthermore, Saudi Arabia pursues to maintain its strategic stocks of major commodities. The Most recent tensions in the Arabian Gulf have promoted GCC countries especially Saudi Arabia to increase spending on defense systems in order to secure oil shipments through Hormuz strait. Moreover, Pipeline projects as an alternative to shipping oil (in a step to move away from the tension area) are very costly which gives us another evidence to increase our estimations for 2013 spending. As we refer to the importance of government spending in sustaining economic growth, it is essential to remember the IMF recommendations concerning fiscal reforms, meaning that government spending will not continue forever Budget Performance 2012 In 2012, the budget statement has anticipated a surplus of SAR 12 billion, while the preliminary data showed that the kingdom has achieved a SAR billion surplus, which is 32 times more than initially anticipated. Higher oil prices during 2012, combined with above average crude production, were the main reason behind the larger surplus. 6 Economic Research Treasury Division
7 In the first 11 months of 2012, Saudi Arabia daily oil production averaged 9.8 million barrel per day compared to a 9.2 mb/d oil production in As a result of oil revenues, the government exceeded its targeted revenues. Actual expenditure was SAR 853 billion, which is SAR 163 billion higher than initially anticipated. The divergence is because of the 13th additional salary in 2012, while the extra money has been paid to cover king Abdullah project to expand the two holly mosques. Meanwhile Hafez program is expected to cost around SAR 30 billion until the end of the year. Moreover, Saudi government has succeeded at reducing its domestic debt to SAR 98.8 billion, down from SAR billion in Economic Performance in 2012 Real GDP: In 2012, Saudi Economy grew by 6.8%, according to primary estimate released in the budget statement. Meanwhile, the budget statement revised up the real economic growth of 2011 to 8.5% from 7% initially estimated. The increase in oil GDP came in line with the unprecedented oil production in Oil sector grew by 5.5%, while non-oil GDP grew by 7.2%. Nominal GDP grew to SAR trillion at current price, which is 8.6% higher than 2011 level. CPI inflation increased by 2.9% y/y in 2012 (2007- price level) and 4.5% (1999-Price level), a little bit lower than the 5%y/y in Meanwhile, Non-oil GDP deflator (another inflation measure) is expected to increase by 3.8% y/y in Current Account Surplus is expected to reach all -time high at SAR1.005 trillion in 2012 according to preliminary estimation by SAMA, meaning that account surplus increased by 10% over the last year due to high oil and non-oil exports. Economic Outlook 2013 We believe that Saudi economic growth will continue to gain momentum in 2013, due to stable (above average) oil production. While estimated decrease in oil prices is expected to offset the oil production revenue. As a result, oil export bill is forecasted to increase in Government spending, which also plays a vital role in supporting growth will be one of the main reasons for growth in Economic growth in Saudi Arabia is forecasted to grow by 4.3% in 2013, according to our estimation and in line with key energy agencies assumptions. CPI inflation is expected to average 4.4% during 2013 as domestic inflation pressure is most likely to remain high, especially rental inflation. 7 Economic Research Treasury Division
