4 4 Economic & Markets Review PAKISTAN Economy CPI inflation dipped slightly in Apr'17 to 4.8% YoY from 4.9% YoY in Mar'17. The slight fall in headline inflation was associated with a lower increase in the food index (1.85% MoM in Apr'17 vs. 2.04% MoM in Mar'17). However, the sequential increase remained higher at 1.39% MoM vs. an increase of 0.85% MoM. Core Inflation stood at 5.5% in Apr'17 compared to 5.3% in Mar'17. 10MFY17 inflation average stands at 4.1%. Going forward, inflation is expected to trend upwards, due to higher food prices and seasonality i.e. Ramzan and Eid factor. Large-scale manufacturing (LSM) increased by 4.1% YoY in Feb'17, major contributors were Iron and Steel (16.2% YoY), Electronics (13.5% YoY) and Automobile (10.0% YoY). Private sector credit off-take continues to accelerate (+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. FDI depicted growth of 12% YoY to USD 1.6 bn in 9MFY17. This growth has been supported by investment from China and Engro Foods acquisition deal. During Mar'17, FDI flows stood at USD 297 mn, growth of over 2.4x compared to USD mn in Feb'17. The 9MFY17 current account deficit widened by 2.6x YoY to USD 6.1 bn. Widening gap in current account was attributable to: 1) 1% YoY drop in exports, 2) 14% YoY increase in imports, 3) 23% YoY decline in CSF inflows and 4) 2% YoY dip in workers' remittances. Remittances from overseas Pakistanis went down by 2.3% YoY during 9MFY17 to USD bn vs. USD bn in 9MFY16. This was primarily attributable to 4.5% YoY decline in remittances from MENA Region (63% of total remittances) in spite of improvement in oil prices (+15% YoY during FYTD). As pressure on FX reserves grows (-9.0% or USD 2.1 bn during 10MFY17), policy makers will have to enact countermeasures to prevent sharp PKR depreciation and a deterioration in the macroeconomic landscape. Fixed Income Review SBP raised PKR 360 bn from the T-Bill auction held on 27th Apr'17, against a target of PKR 300 bn. Bids amounting to PKR 270 bn were accepted for 3M at 5.99%; followed by PKR 85 bn of 6M T-Bills at 6.01%. Recent pickup in inflation can lead to a rise in expectations of an interest rate liftoff from next year. Other than this, SBP rejected all bids received amounting to PKR 31 bn in the PIBs auction held on 19th Apr'17. Equities Review Political uncertainty and regulatory concerns continued to weigh on the market in April. The verdict on the Panama case triggered an initial excitement as the KSE 30 index soared 634 points on the day the decision was announced and closed up 2.04% MoM as investor sentiment improved. Trading activity remained low with average volume dropping to 57 million shares per day, a decrease of 5% MoM. Average trading value, however, went up by 8% to USD 65 mn per day. Foreign investors (-USD 36 mn) continued to be net sellers. Household goods (+27.6%) was the best performing sector. PAEL rallied on account of staggering performance in the consumer electronics segment, and also being the prime candidate to benefit from the development of the upcoming energy projects. Autos (+22.3%) was the next best performing sector, with impressive sales growth and excitement over new models and variants. The worst performing sectors were Personal Goods (-4.8%) and Chemicals (-4.4%). The latter was down due to negative outlook on fertilizers due to surplus output. The KSE 30's trailing 12 months (TTM) PE ratio is 9.6x this month versus 9.5x in the previous month and continues to trade at a substantial discount to regional markets such as China's Shanghai Composite Index and India's Sensex Index which are trading at 17.5x and 22.1x respectively.

5 Economic & Markets Review INTERNATIONAL 5 Developed Markets For the first time in 2017, developed markets outperformed emerging markets. The MSCI EAFE Index gave a monthly return of 2.27%, while the MSCI EM Index gave a return of 2.04% in April. Top performers among developed markets were Greece (ASE Index up 6.9%), Denmark (OMX Copenhagen 20 Index up 5.8%) and Austria (ATX up 6.4%). Meanwhile, UK's FTSE 100 index was down 1.6%, partly due to the Prime Minister's call for snap elections, which strengthened the British Pound. The markets in Europe were tense before the French Elections on April 23, 2017, and bounced up after Emmanuel Macron, a pro-eu candidate, emerged as a leader. European markets also welcomed the positive signals from the latest ECB press conference, where the benchmark interest rate was left unchanged at 0%. The ECB President mentioned that downside risks were less severe for the Euro area economy than previously estimated and incoming data since March confirmed the cyclical recovery of the EU economy. Performance of Equities and Commodities 140% MSCI World Index MSCI EM Index DB Commodity Index 120% 100% 80% 60% Apr-16 Jul-16 Oct-16 Jan-17 Emerging markets The MSCI emerging market index was up 2.04% in April, taking the calendar year to date return to 13.4%. Top performers during the month were Poland (WIG Index up 6.4%) and Turkey (Borsa Istanbul 100 Index up 6.4%). Valuation of International Markets 20 Chinese markets were depressed for a second consecutive month with the Shanghai Composite down -2.1% during April. The decline in Chinese equities is partly attributable to a continuing crackdown by regulators against shadow banking and scrupulous elements within the stock market. Their market surprisingly didn't show much tension before the Chinese and US officials' meeting. Moreover, they didn't move higher after the French Election even though other Asian markets did. The Indian equity market continued to gain in April bolstered by inflows from foreign and domestic investors and optimism over corporate earnings. The gains were, however, not as large as those witnessed in the first three months of the quarter because investors chose to book profits. The BSE Sensex Index returned 1.0% in April. The OPEC meeting, MSCI's emerging market index reconstitution and French Elections are expected to drive emerging markets in May. Commodities Market Review Oil prices continued to decline in the month of April as unabated US production undermined hopes related to the OPEC plus non-opec meeting in May. Moreover, inventory data of the US showed a mixed trend through most of the month, showing a decline in crude oil stock and a rise in petroleum products. Towards the end of April, oil prices were also hit by a strong US Dollar in the wake of the European Central Bank's (ECB) monetary policy meeting, in which the ECB left interest rates constant at zero percent. As a consequence, WTI Crude Oil price slipped by 4.11%, while Brent slipped by 3.66% DM US UK Japan Canada EM Brazil Russia India China P/E Multiple In line with the decline in crude oil prices witnessed in the past two months, prices of products in the petrochemical chain also decreased. South East Asian PVC price was down 7.4%, Paraxylene price was down 1.8% and Purified Terephthalic Acid's price was down by 2.3%. Ethylene price, however, was up 5.5%, showing no correlation with crude oil price movement. Coal prices too were down during the month, with Richard Bay coal price showing a decline of 1.4%. In the first half of the month, however, metallurgical coal prices surged as Australian exports were disrupted by cyclone Debbie. The cyclone flooded rail lines and halted delivery to ports. The surge was, however, quickly reversed after the cyclone. Because metallurgical coal is widely used for steel production, its overall depressed price led to dip in prices of Hot Rolled Coil (HRC) and Cold Rolled Coil (CRC). HRC in mainland China declined by 13.5%, while CRC in the same region dipped by 13.3% during the month. For the first time in 2017, developed markets outperformed emerging markets. The month of May is going to be critical for not just oil, but other commodities as well due to the scheduled OPEC meeting. There are expectations that non-opec producers, like Russia, too will join the meeting, which increases the likelihood of the current production cut getting extended beyond June.
