4 4 Economic & Markets Review PAKISTAN Economy CPI inflation in July 2017 dipped to 2.9% vs. 3.9% in June In spite of a 0.3% MoM uptick during Jul-17 yearly inflation fell sharply, due to the high base effect of Jul- 16. Lower inflation was attributable to weaker food / beverage & tobacco / transport inflation of 0.7% YoY / -15.9% YoY / 3.2% YoY. Sharp increase in food item prices in Ramadan last year, compared with lower regulated prices this time created a base effect of -2.7ppt in food inflation. Moving ahead, CPI would remain contained unless the GoP decides to pass through higher international oil prices to the domestic consumer. Large-scale manufacturing (LSM) increased by 5.7%YoY in 11M FY17, major contributors were Iron and Steel (20.01%YoY), Electronics (16.2% YoY) and Automobiles (12.3%YoY). Private sector credit off-take continue to accelerate (up 15%YoY in Mar'17 vs. 8% in Mar'16) with impetus from Construction (+29%YoY), Apparel and Garments (+27%YoY) and Food (+18%YoY) sectors. During the month of June, current account deficit clocked in at US$ 1.4bn, taking the full year current account deficit to US$ 12.1bn or 4% of GDP. Fall in exports by US$ 3.4bn and surge in non-oil imports (US$ 11.0bn) outweighed the gains from lower oil prices and increased remittances. FDI depicted growth of 4.5% YoY to US$ 2.4bn in FY17. During the month of Jun'17, FDI flows stood at US$ 199mn, lower by 32% MoM Remittances dropped by 1% MoM to US$ 1.83bn in Jun'17, and on a YoY basis, were down by 3.0% during FY17 to US$ 19.30bn. This was primarily attributable to 5% YoY decline in remittances from MENA Region (63% of total remittances). Foreign exchange reserves declined by 5% to US$ 20.28bn in Jul'17 vs. USD 21bn in Jun'17. Equities The PSX-30 index moved within a wide band of 1,353 points during July'17 amid thin participation, with average daily turnover of 56.83mn shares. The index fell to 22,747 during first half of the month due to political uncertainty created by JIT proceedings, but recovery in later sessions clipped month s the loss to 413 points. The much awaited verdict in Panama Papers case was the major development during the last leg of the month, wherein the apex court disqualified the PM from holding public office and referred the case to National Accountability Bureau (N.A.B) for the commencement of criminal investigation against the Sharif family. The persistent political turmoil remained the major factor leading to netselling of USD37.95mn by foreign investors during the month. However, all E&P stocks outperformed the index upon upsurge in international crude prices, whereas HCAR, LUCK, UBL and HBL came in as the worst performers owing to profit taking ahead of apex court's verdict in the Panama Papers case. Fixed Income In its Monetary Policy Statement in July, the central bank kept Policy/Discount rate unchanged at 5.75%/6.25% citing concerns on the external front and buildup in inflationary trends due to rising economic activity and credit off-take. In two T-Bill auctions during July, the government raised PKR 1,616 bn. Weighted average yields were broadly unchanged at 5.99%/6.01%/6.04% for 3/6/12month tenures. In the PIB auction, GoP raised PKR 54.47bn, where the greatest participation was seen in the 10yr tenure. Cut off yield for 3/5/10yr tenure were 6.40%/6.89%/7.93%.

5 Economic & Markets Review INTERNATIONAL 5 Developed Markets Developed markets mostly performed well in July, with the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East (EAFE) Index rising by 2.85%. A number of countries in the Eurozone outperformed the EAFE Index, while UK and the US underperformed. Sweden and Ireland posted losses during the month. While the S&P 500 underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index, it still managed to post sizable returns of 1.93% in July. Sentiments were helped by a strong earnings season and reporting of 0.6% GDP growth in Q2CY12. Fed's decision to hold the policy rate constant was also welcomed by the market. On the other hand, the ruling party's failure to pass the Obamacare repeal bill dented investors' confidence in the President's ability to bring about healthcare and tax reforms. Furthermore, University of Michigan's survey showed that consumer confidence was at a nine month low in July. Going forward, the perceived ability of the new administration to introduce reforms will drive the market. Eurozone countries, especially Austria, Belgium, Italy and the Netherlands outperformed due to posting of strong economic growth numbers in the second quarter. Sentiment in the Eurozone was also helped by Greece (an emerging market) getting in principle approval for IMF's standby arrangement as well as the country's return to bond markets. Sweden was one of the few countries whose equities actually declined during the month. The country's OMX Stockholm 30 Index was down 3.4%, even though data released towards the end of July showed that the country's GDP grew at the fastest rate in Q2 since The figure, 1.7%, far exceeded economist's consensus expectations of 0.9%, and Q1's reported GDP growth rate of 0.6%. Performance of Equities and Commodities 140% 120% 100% 60% Jul-16 Oct-16 Jan-17 Apr-17 Valuation of International Markets 24 80% MSCI World Index MSCI EM Index DB Commodity Index Emerging markets July was the best month for Emerging Markets (EM) this year since January, as the MSCI EM Index rose by 5.48%. Heavyweights China and Brazil underperformed their peers, while smaller markets like Turkey, South Africa and UAE outperformed. Most countries gave a positive return during the month with the exception of Saudi Arabia, Argentina and Malaysia. India's BSE Sensex Index surged by 5.2%, and the 50-share Nifty breached the psychological level of 10,000 points for the first time during the month. A rally in metal stocks and quarterly earnings optimism boosted sentiments. Going forward implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) can be disruptive, but strong earnings growth on the back of low base effect and low interest rates can potentially lead the market higher. Furthermore, markets may be affected by the signals on inflation the Reserve Bank of India gives in its monetary policy meeting in August, wherein analysts expect a rate cut. Greece's ASE Index lost steam in July, after gaining 28% in the first half of 2017, as of positive news flow could not counter the profit booking. The good news included (i) IMF's in principle approval of a standby arrangement for Greece worth EUR 1.6bn, and (ii) Greece's return to the bond market after three years. China's Shanghai composite underperformed its peers and rose by only 2.5% in July even though MSCI had decided in favor of adding some mainland Chinese stocks to its benchmark emerging markets index in June, and even though the country's reported GDP growth rate for the second quarter, 6.9%, exceeded expectations of 6.8%. After two flat months the Brazilian Bovespa Index rose 4.8% in July as investors responded positively to the sentencing of Former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on charges of corruption. Sentiments in the Brazilian market continue to be dominated by corruption charges against politicians, and developments on the charges against President Michel Temer are likely to affect the market. Commodities markets Almost all commodities rallied in July, with the lead being taken by steel. July was the third straight month of price hike, and Chinese Cold Rolled Coil increased by 11.4%, Hot Rolled Coil increased by 10.6% and UK's exported steel scrap price rose by 12.5%. Reason for rise in steel scrap price is a continuous rise in nickel prices. Furthermore, Chinese rebar prices have risen because the Chinese Government has deployed 18 teams to inspect low-end steel plants and clamp down on them. China has already closed around 120 million tonnes of annual low-grade steel capacity, mostly making products for the construction industry, in the first half of the year DM US UK Japan Canada EM Brazil Russia India China P/E Multiple Oil prices too rallied in July mostly due to a fall in stockpiles of crude oil in the US. Data released by Energy Information Administration in the last week of July showed that US crude stocks fell sharply by 7.2m barrels on robust refining activity and a jump in exports. This was a bigger draw than analysts had anticipated and marked the fourth straight week of declines. Further, the front of the Brent oil futures curve moved into backwardation, suggesting the oil market is tightening in the near term. Later months, however, remain at a premium signaling the glut is far from over. Moreover, Saudi Arabia's pledge to cut exports and Nigeria's agreement to cap its output further helped sentiment. Arab Light price closed the month at USD 50.69/bbl, up 10.39% from a month earlier, while Brent closed at USD 52.72/bbl, up 7.5% from a month earlier. July was the best month for Emerging Markets (EM) this year since January. Going forward there are chances that Saudi Arabia may not honour its commitment to cut exports as it will have excess supply of oil after the summer, when oil is used for producing electricity for air-conditioning. The ending of summer, and the driving season, in the US, will also result in lesser demand in that country. These seasonality factors can have an adverse affect on international oil prices in the coming months. Following the rally in crude oil prices, prices of petrochemicals too increased in July, with price of South East Asian Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) up 7.2%, Ethylene up 7.9%, Paraxylene (Px) up 4.5%, and Poly-vinyl Chloride (PVC) up 2.3% during the month. The month of July came as a relief for these commodities as they have mostly been declining since March of this year.
