Qatar Construction Sector

1st Edition 2012

The Commercial Bank of Qatar (Q.S.C.)

Inspired by Qatar, we believe ever ything is possible

Foreword
Dear Investor, Qatar continues to be a magnet for investment due to its impressive economic performance in the face of continued global economic uncertainty. On the back of a strong GDP growth of 19% in 2011, decelerating to a forecast 6% in 2012, Qatars GDP would reach USD 197bn. Qatar also boasts the highest per capita income growth in the world, expected to reach USD 112k by 2016. This has led to Qatar witnessing a construction boom since 2006 (ongoing construction related contracts have tripled in value). Qatars successful bid to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup led the Government to plan for high levels of investment in infrastructure and real estate development - approximately USD 225 bn between 2011 and 2016, of which USD 125 bn has been unveiled for construction and energy projects alone. Spending directly related to preparations for the 2022 World Cup will amount to an estimated USD 80 bn, encompassing commercial and infrastructure projects and therefore the construction boom in Qatar is expected to continue, albeit with different priorities and involving new players. This sector report highlights the changing pace of the Qatari economy and construction sector segments in comparison with other GCC countries and provides detailed information on current projects and expected investments. For each industry segment, we present a proprietary summary timeline of key projects. To take into account the challenges, especially the tender phase and ramp up of projects, but also the opportunities for additional growth to be generated thanks to the improved infrastructure and expertise based in Qatar, we have designed several scenarios of investment in infrastructure and real estate; these scenarios are based on our proprietary model taking into account the expected timeline, phasing and costs of most known major construction projects. In the nal section of the report we provide summary proles of certain local and international companies which are actively participating in transforming Qatar. 2012 is, for most players, a year of preparation to take on new projects with new partners, new nancings and new clients. Investors in Qatar have therefore numerous opportunities to tap into the growth ahead, which creates new employment opportunities and continues to help position Qatar as a major economic force. Do not hesitate to call on Commercialbank for investment, strategic or nancing solutions; we are inspired by Qatar, we believe everything is possible. We hope you will nd our initial coverage of the construction sector of interest, in addition to Commercialbank Capitals future research publications.

Qatars construction sector prospects seem increasingly bright following its successful bid to stage the FIFA 2022 World cup. The country is set to spend up to USD 150 bn on infrastructure projects over the next ve to six years in preparation for the World Cup. Budget: The Qatar government has reportedly allocated a signicant 40% of its budget between now and 2016 to infrastructure projects, including USD 11.1 bn for the setting up of a new international airport, USD 5.5 bn for a deepwater seaport, and USD 1 bn for a transport corridor in the capital, Doha. The government plans to spend USD 20 bn on roads, while stadium construction for the World Cup is expected to cost just under USD 4 bn, with the rst stadia venue to be built by 2015. According to German legal and nancial adviser Dr. Nicola Ritter, USD 48 bn will be spent to build air-conditioned stadia, USD 77 bn on facilities for soccer fans and players from across the world, and USD 33 bn for developing Lusail City. Qatar has also allocated USD 50 bn to upgrade its transport infrastructure, including new rail and metro systems. Qatar on fast track: Qatar has been one of the fastest growing economies in the world over the past few years (real GDP grew at a CAGR of 23% between 2003 and 2010). The countrys economy was the most resilient in the GCC region during the global recession, largely due to capacity expansion and government initiatives to spur the nancial sector. Visionary leadership: The Emir of the country has been instrumental in transforming Qatar into a power house within the region. In addition, the - Emir-led government has ensured political stability within the country, despite unrest in the other parts of the Middle East. The government has also allowed 100% foreign ownership in some sectors, and this is likely to improve liquidity in the form of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Qatars political and economic developments are both leading the country strongly along the path to achieving its Vision 2030. Diversifying strategy: the Qatar Government has put in place a well-planned strategy for long-term growth sustainability. The government initiated this strategy by focusing on its inherent strength, and increasing the export capacity of LNG. As this production-led growth peaks in 2012, the government is focusing on the non-hydrocarbon sector to push for post2012 growth. The accumulation of wealth from the hydrocarbon sector has been re-invested in diversify its revenue base. The wealth is re-invested through Qatar Petroleum in the hydrocarbon sector, and the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) in the non-hydrocarbon sector. In the initial years of growth, the government re-invested wealth to acquire foreign assets. However, the government has now started focusing on investing domestically to provide a boost to the non-hydrocarbon sector. Dual Government funding and PPP model: Government spending has increased, as also the adoption of the PPP (Public Private Partnership) model in Qatar, especially in the hydrocarbon sector. According to National Development Strategy (NDS), the expected investment by the private sector is around USD 130 bn. Cheap lending as well as governments initiatives will boost the condence of the private sector, which will benet the construction sector and the economy in the long term.

1.1 Growth Drivers


Robust macroeconomic environment Qatar has witnessed robust growth in GDP over the past few years, which is driven by signicant increase in LNG export capacity. According to IMF, Qatars economy grew by 19% in 2011, higher than 17% growth in 2010. In 2012, real GDP growth rate is projected to be 7.6%, with real hydrocarbon GDP slowing down to 3%, while non-hydrocarbon sector is expected to grow by 9.6%. Diversification at full stream The government launched the National Development Strategy (NDS) to achieve the targets of Vision 2030. The strategy is to leverage the hydrocarbon sector revenues to build the non-hydrocarbon sector and a more sustainable economic base. FIFA World Cup 2022 The Game Changer The successful bid to host the FIFA World Cup 2022 has been a big achievement for Qatar. The construction sector has since witnessed a spate of new project announcements. The government has also allocated USD 20 bn towards the development of the tourism sector. We believe that winning the bid for World Cup 2022 will be the main driver for the construction sector, as the government will remain committed to ensuring that projects are completed on time to host the world biggest sporting event. Well regulated and capitalized banking sector Recently, the government of Qatar has completed the two year capitalization program. In August 2011, the central bank has lowered its interest rates to kick start lending to private sector. The sector has optimum capital ratios that will enable them to extend lending to the construction sector in general and private sector in particular. Qatar eyes 2020 Olympics In 2010, Qatar won the bid to host the worlds largest sporting event, the FIFA World Cup 2022. The country is now on the path of creating history as it has been accepted as an applicant city to host the Olympics and the Paralympics in 2020.

2. FIFA World Cup 2022: The Game Changer


Qatars integral links with sporting activities in the recent past have resulted in the overall development of the country. The year 2010 can be marked as a year of extraordinary achievements for Qatar. In 2010, the country reached a milestone in its LNG production capacity, apart from winning the bid to host the largest football sporting event in the world. We believe that both these developments transformed the countrys future growth trajectory. Qatar has participated as well as organized several sporting events during the past few years. In January 2011, the country hosted the Asian Football Confederations (AFC) Cup for the second time. In addition, Qatar hosted the 2006 Doha Asian Games, which will help in the planning and implementation for the 2022 event.

Winning the bid for the World Cup 2022 has been an extraordinary achievement, as it is one of the biggest sporting events in the world. Qatar is the rst country in the Middle East to get this honor. According to ofcials, the FIFA World Cup is expected to draw around half a million visitors, almost a third of Qatars current population. The impact of Qatar winning its bid for the 2022 FIFA World Cup would be profound for the state, its people and the region. The dynamic vision of both, HH the Emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani and HH Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser AlMissned has resulted in economic developments that has transformed Qatar internationally. In addition, this has resulted in successfully winning the bid to host World Cup 2022, which is laudable from all aspects. According to reports that the FIFA World Cup in South Africa had added between 0.5% and 2.2% to the countrys GDP (depending on which infrastructure projects one considers); and overall had created in excess of 300,000 jobs since 2006 - a 2.7% contribution to employment gures. We believe that the impact of the World Cup 2022 preparations will be much larger on the GDP of Qatar compared to other countries that have hosted the event in the past.

3. Challenges and Market size


3.1 Challenges
The prospects of Qatars construction sector are bright, underpinned by signicant investment by the government over the next decade. Despite the bright outlook, Qatar is likely to face certain challenges as it prepares for the FIFA World Cup 2022. The government will continue to remain under pressure to complete the projects on time to meet the deadlines and guidelines set by the FIFA authorities. Global slowdown Qatar is not completely immune to the global environment; therefore, uncertainty around the global economies will have a limited impact on Qatar in general, and the construction sector in particular. The global slowdown will impact private sector participation, as the credit environment becomes tighter and more difcult in such scenarios. In addition, hydrocarbon prices will decline, having a direct impact on Qatars GDP, resulting in lower growth. We believe the government of Qatar will continue to step in with support to ensure projects are completed on time in case private sector participation deteriorates. Shortage of skilled/unskilled labor The shortage of both technical staff and labor will continue to one of the biggest challenges for the sector. These projects require people who have applied similar principles to creating efcient, cost effective, high tech systems in other countries like Germany, Ireland and Australia. The companies operating in the construction sector have learned from their previous experience (the Asian Games); however, the scale and magnitude of the projects for the World Cup 2022 will be a whole new experience for both the companies, as well as for Qatar. Shortage of schools for children and the lack of a well-publicized clampdown on alcohol in Doha are some of the other problems that are currently being resolved. Shortage of raw materials The construction sector is likely to witness shortages in raw materials between 2013 and 2017, as the period is expected to be the peak for the sector. The government will ensure that the shortages in raw materials do not lead to unexpected rise in prices. Both of these factors will lead to delays in execution of the projects. Therefore, the sector will have to bridge the gap during this period by mutual agreements with the companies in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

3.2 Construction Sector: Mapping market size under three scenarios


The indicators for the construction sector outlook look solid, as much of the investment is backed by government or semi-government entities. The news of Qatar hosting the FIFA World Cup 2022 has further brightened the outlook of the sector. The rapid increase in population over the past few years has resulted in increasing demand for infrastructural development in Qatar. All these factors will collectively lead to ample opportunities for construction activity in Qatar. Within the construction sector, we remain buoyant on the transportation, retail and hotel and tourism sectors. The transportation sector is the biggest beneciary of the massive investment by the government, as it plays a vital role in the infrastructural development of the country. The improvement in the transportation network will also be essential as the country prepares for the FIFA World Cup 2022. The tourism authority of Qatar has done a commendable job over the past few years by organizing and participating in conferences and exhibitions. This has resulted in the inux of tourists, thereby boosting the hotel sector. The rapid increase in population, as well as inow of tourists, will boost the retail sector. As a result, the country is witnessing massive investments in shopping malls to address the shortages in the retail space. We have forecasted the Qatar construction sector market size until 2020, as we believe that the majority, if not all the projects will be completed by the end of the projected period. We have assumed USD 225 bn investment as our base for total investment, which is provided by the NDS. Based on our assumptions, we have assumed additional investments in the construction sector as a percentage of the GDP. The additional investments have been assumed in two phases, the rst phase will be from 2013 to 2017, while the second phase is from 2018 to 2020.

12 - COMMERCIALBANK CAPITAL - CONSTRUCTION SECTOR REPORT

The following is a brief summary of the methodology adopted to arrive at the market size: 1. Initially, the list of projects ongoing and planned was compiled from various relevant sources. However, we decided to take data from one source due to inconsistency from various sources. This data was further classication as per the construction sector. The value of each project was divided in quarters based on the completion date to arrive at the actual value invested in a particular year until 2020. 2. We have assumed additional investments between 2013 and 2017 based on the announced investments of USD 225 bn by NDS. 3. Finally, we have assumed a percentage of the GDP that will be re-invested in construction to further upgrade the infrastructure sector. The forecast for GDP is taken from IMF until 2016. This constant rate as a percentage of GDP has been differentiated based on two phases, the rst from 2013 to 2017 and second from 2018 to 2020. In order to arrive at the total market size, we have added the contributions from three approaches as described above. This methodology was adopted to build three scenarios in our analysis to arrive at a market size. In each scenario, contribution from rst two points remains the same while contribution from third point varies for three different scenarios:
Best Case In this case, we have assumed a higher percentage of GDP that will be invested over and above the planned investment by the government. Based on this assumption, we arrive at a market size of USD 315 bn. In this case, we have assumed a lower percentage of GDP that will be invested over and above the planned investment by the government. Based on this assumption, we arrive at a market size of USD 270 bn. In this case, we have made two assumptions. First, we have assumed that there will no additional investment and secondly we have assumed that around 15% of the planned projects will be cancelled going forward. Based on this assumption, we arrive at a market size of USD 191 bn.

Major Projects
AIRPORT New Doha International Airport (NDIA) will be able to handle 24 mn passengers per year and will have 42 contact gates, six of which will be dedicated to the Airbus A380 superjumbo. When construction started in 2004, the new airport was scheduled to open in 2008. It is now planned for an opening in December 2012. The new terminal is being built by the Sky Oryx consortium of Japans Taisei Corporation and Turkeys TAV. The terminal extension is being built by a joint venture of Belgiums Six Construct and the local Midmac Contracting. PORT New Doha Port is to be built at Mesaieed, south of Doha and will replace the existing Doha Port downtown on the citys Corniche. The new port will support industrial development to the south of Doha. Completion of the rst phase is expected in 2014. Beijing based China Harbour won contract to execute the onshore excavation works. Firms have been prequalied for the contract to dredge the ports approach channel. STADIUMS As of now, Qatar has committed to spending USD 65 bn to build infrastructure to host the 2022 World Cup. As part of the bid process, Qatar committed to providing 12 stadiums, each with a minimum capacity of 45,000. The direct spending on building stadiums will be 4% of the total planned investment. It will renovate three stadiums and will construct nine new stadiums. Stadiums will be equipped with cooling systems using clean renewable energy resources to achieve the rst completely carbon-neutral World Cup. RAIL Doha Metro is the rst section of Qatars USD 25 bn rail plan to be developed and will be a crucial part of Dohas infrastructure when complete. The metro will consist of four lines running more than 300 km across the city. The rst phase involves building the Red line, which will run from Doha city to new Doha International airport. In 2009, Germanys Deutsche Bahn was appointed to develop Qatars national railway network. It is currently prequalifying consultants for the preliminary metro designs.

4. Construction Sector
Qatar has two main focuses in the next decade; rst is staging the largest sporting event, and the second is implementing its National Vision 2030, which aims to diversify away from a reliance on hydrocarbons. Qatars ambitions and investment plans are different compared to other GCC countries. Qatar won the right to host the 2022 World Cup, which has imposed a time frame for completing the projects. The infrastructure that the country will build over the next decade will also result in meeting the objectives of the national development plan. Preparing for the World Cup 2022 will drive spending on sports and transport infrastructure, while the National Vision 2030 will focus on social infrastructure, such as education, healthcare and cultural projects. Qatars construction sector witnessed unprecedented growth between 2005 and 2008, growing at a CAGR of 46%. Sector productivity increased from QAR 8.7 bn in 2005 to QAR 27.5 bn in 2008. Following this, the construction market contracted in 2009 and 2010 on the back of the global crisis. According to a study by Oxford Economics and Global Construction Perspectives, the Qatari construction market is expected to grow by an average of 12.5% a year over the next decade, compared with growth in European countries averaging just 1.7% to 2020. The sector has not witnessed any major cancellations or projects on hold, unlike its regional peers, including Dubai, Bahrain and Kuwait. The total value of projects put on hold or cancelled stood at USD 460.3 bn at the end of October 2011. In Qatar, the projects put on hold were around 4% of the total market, compared to 59% and 24% in UAE and Kuwait, respectively. The value of such projects in Qatar and Saudi Arabia was insignicant compared to the total size of the market. With Qatar slated to host a zero carbon World Cup in 2022, Qatar Green Building Council (QGBC) has set up a group to foster green infrastructure as a national resource. Qatar is utilizing Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and the Qatar Sustainability Assessment System (QSAS) to this end. A number of projects are targeting LEED Gold or Platinum status.

The total number of projects that were planned or underway in the GCC stood at USD 1,784.7 bn at the end of October 2011. Saudi Arabia has emerged as the largest market for planned or underway projects in the GCC, while UAE became the second largest market because of cancelled or on-hold projects. Qatar has been in the limelight for various reasons from acquiring international assets to hosting the biggest sporting event in the world. The total number of planned and underway projects in Qatar stood at USD 214 bn at end of Oct-2011. The value of projects has grown at a CAGR of 40% during 2005 and 2011. The growth in projects value during the period is the second largest in the GCC, as Kuwait witnessed a growth of around 43% despite all the cancellations/on hold projects. The value of the projects under execution stands at USD 59.8 bn with the transportation sector accounting for around 30% of the projects under execution. Within transportation, airport and roads have been the main contributors as they are witnessing a substantial revamp or new additions in facilities. As of Oct-2011, the total value of projects under execution in Qatars energy sector stood at USD 11.2 bn accounting for 19% of all the projects under execution in the country. This indicates that the worlds leading supplier in the hydrocarbon sector has been capitalizing on its core sector to meet the rising global demand in the oil and gas sector. Furthermore, commercial and residential construction projects accounted for 21% of the total projects under execution. Exhibit 8: GCC - Projects planned or underway till Oct-11 (USD bn)

Sporting events in Qatar have also been one of the main drivers of the construction sector. The 15th Asian Games were held in the country in 2006 and the preparation for the games resulted in a great deal of construction activity, including the building of a Sports City, which contains stadium and other sports facilities. In January 2011, the country hosted the Asian Football Confederation Cup for the second time. The biggest driver and the game changer for Qatar has been its winning bid to host the football World Cup 2022. Transportation and building projects account for more than 50% of the projects under execution. These sectors are essential for the infrastructure development of the country. The transportation sector is focusing on modernizing its existing network, while the building sector is transforming the country by building some iconic projects over the next decade. The country is building several start-of-art projects that will transform the country. As seen in Exhibit 11, the total spending in the construction sector stood at USD 47.7 bn, accounting for 39% of the total spending. In the construction sector, 48.3% was allocated towards the residential and commercial sub-sector, while 10.7% was in industrial and 12.1% in ports. Exhibit 11: Sector wise spending

5. Transportation
The transportation sector has been at the forefront of public spending plans in the GCC region in general and Qatar in particular. In Qatar, the transportation sector is pacing development and expected growth in the country. In addition, the modernization of the transportation sector in Qatar is essential for successful hosting of the worlds biggest event. The government is signicantly focused on developing the countrys road network especially through main highways to ease trafc congestion. We believe that the improvement of the roads network will continue to be an ongoing investment for the government as the growth momentum continues in the region.

The total revised investment in the GCC transportation sector is USD 298 bn compared to an original budget of USD 281 bn. The total investment in rail projects is USD 95 bn in the region. The GCC countries are focusing on upgrading and developing rail networks within countries and also to connect the region. The GCC governments are also making signicant investments in upgrading their airports to meet the rising demand of both passengers as well as freight services. The total planned investment in airports is USD 41.4 bn in the GCC. During the past three years, Saudi Arabia has awarded about USD 28.3 bn worth of projects, UAE has awarded about USD 11 bn worth of projects and USD 6.1 bn in Qatar. Given the size of projects awarded or in the pipeline, many regional and international contractors are expanding operations in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The regional contractors are mostly from Kuwait and the UAE as activity within their respective the respective countries have remained subdued. We believe that Qatar and Saudi Arabia will continue to remain the most dominant markets within the GCC region. Both the countries have announced signicant investment plans, especially in rail projects. The Qatari market looks more promising as the government is expected to accelerate the execution of planned projects to ensure timely completion as it prepares for the FIFA World Cup 2022.

5.1 Roads
The total planned or projects underway in the GCC countries are valued at about USD 128 bn. The UAE leads the market with USD 46 bn worth of projects planned or underway. Saudi Arabia is the second largest market with USD 38 bn worth of projects either planned or underway, while Qatar accounts for USD 18 bn worth of projects. Collectively, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain have USD 27 bn worth of projects planned or underway. We believe that the execution of these projects will be important to reduce over congestion in the GCC. In the GCC, Qatar was the most active roads market in 2011. Ashghal awarded USD 2.3 bn worth of contracts during the year 2011. The biggest of these was the USD 1 bn construction package awarded to the joint venture of the Saudi Binladin Group and the local Qatari Diar for work on the Dukhan highway. The other big contract that was awarded related to the two road contracts in January, worth an estimated USD 0.52 bn, to a joint venture of Consolidated Contractors Company and the Teyseer Contracting Company for the 12th package of the Doha Expressway. The investment in Qatars roads sector is set to continue, with Ashghal planning to build 136 km of new roads by 2014, providing plenty of opportunities to local and international contractors and material suppliers. The major upgrades in roads infrastructure were undertaken even before the country won the bid to host the FIFA World Cup 2022. Strong economic growth in the past few years have led to a rapid increase in population, thus resulting in signicant congestion in the capital city of Qatar, Doha. The country has allocated USD 20 bn over the next ve years to upgrade its road network, of which USD 17.9 bn is planned or underway. Development of roads network is also essential for the overall infrastructure development of the country. The preparation for the World Cup 2022 will also speed up the process of the construction of roads to ensure decreases in trafc congestion, an increase in regional accessibility, and minimize the environmental impact of its transportation network.

Qatar is likely to witness the announcement of USD 7.8 bn worth of projects over the next two years. Qatar is expected to nish its planned roads network by the end of 2016, well ahead of the -World Cup 2022. According to our estimates, the total size of the road and bridges market in Qatar will be USD 26.5 bn at the end of 2020. We believe that new projects will be announced in line with the rising population as well as the trend to own cars in the region resulting in further upgrades in the countrys roads infrastructure. The governments USD 20 bn plan also includes investments in improving its sewage networks. USD 362 mn worth of projects has been awarded so far in 2011 for improving sewage networks around the city. The Doha North Sewerage Treatment and Associated Works project is a USD 2.2 bn four-part expansion. The improvement in sewerage networks at the Doha North Project is important as it is likely to witness increase in ows. Doha North will witness projects such as Lusail, the Pearl and Gharaffa, West Bay area, as well as alleviate some of the pressure placed on the existing Doha West Sewerage Treatment Works (STW). Three major road projects that which are underway further substantiate the ve-year plan to upgrade the road network of the country. The Doha Expressway, currently under construction is valued at USD 2 bn, the Dukhan Highway also under construction has been valued at USD 275 mn, and the largest proposed project, the Lusail Highway, which is currently being tendered, has been valued at a signicant USD 687 mn.

Qatar is the largest market for the railways sector in the GCC, with a planned investment of USD 25 bn. The objective of Qatars massive investment plan is to ensure that it can accommodate the movement of thousands of tourists during the tournament. The public transport, which is currently operated by Mowasalat in the form of taxis and buses, will not be adequate to host the FIFA World Cup 2022. In addition, increasing taxis and buses will put additional pressure on new roads and create congestion; therefore, a rail network within the country will be the most viable option for Qatar.

5.3 New Doha International Airport


The aviation sector in the GCC has undergone a major transformation during the past decade. Passenger trafc in the GCC has grown at a CAGR of around 10% between 2002 and 2010, signicantly higher compared to global trafc. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the Middle East is one of the fastest growing markets in the world with expected annual growth of about around 9% till 2014. A recent Boeing forecast indicates that it expects orders of 2,520 planes from the Middle East carriers by 2030.The total value of projects planned or underway in the GCC is USD 42 bn. In the GCC, Qatar has an aggressive aviation sector expansion plan to emerge as an aviation hub in the region. The country is also gearing itself to maintain pace with a steady increase in passenger trafc to and to trafc to-and-from Doha. In addition, Qatar Airways rising eet size has also been leading to an increase in transit passengers, putting additional pressure on airport authorities. Qatars current airport is facing increasing congestion and will be replaced by a new airport with signicantly larger cargo and passenger facilities, thereby making it an important transportation hub for the people and materials.

In March 2011, Qatar Airways announced a strategic partnership with Qatar Telecom (Qtel) for the migration of its primary IT infrastructure to the Qtel data centre. In September 2011, the company bought a 35% stake at the Luxembourgbased cargo carrier Cargolux, which is in line with its objective to develop its air freight business. Qatar Space City is a plan of the Government of Qatar to establish a USD 3.3 bn Space City in the Al-Khor area, covering an area of 40,000 sqm. The project will include establishment of a university in cooperation with the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), along with a science museum and other tourist attractions. The planned project is expected to be implemented in several phases under the supervision of an ofcial body that would be appointed with the General Authority of Civil Aviation. The concept of the space city project is based on the American Space Museum.

5.4 New Doha Port


The GCC ports sector is mostly dominated by the oil and gas sector, as most of the production is exported to the emerging markets. However, this is set to change in the coming years as the region continues to make signicant investments to diversify its economic base. The new proposed port in Qatar is likely to transform the country into the new trading hub of the region, which is in line with the country Vision 2030. The country can aspire for such goals as it has the required funding thanks to rising hydrocarbon prices in recent years, which has resulted in accumulated surpluses. The main objective of the new port is to replace the existing port, which is struggling to keep up with growing demand owing to the limited land at its disposal. Currently, the country has three main ports: Port of Doha (Qatars main commercial seaport), Port of Ras Laffan (the worlds largest LNG exporting facility), and Port of Mesaieed (Qatars main oil export terminal and the main point of entry for aggregates and other building materials). In order to meet the heightened trafc of goods and supplies generated by the countrys economic boom and rising population, the Government of Qatar plans to expand and develop its port infrastructure. Qatars ports are dominated by LNG exports. However, this phenomenon is likely to change over the next few years as the country makes signicant investments to diversify its economy away from the hydrocarbon sector. The current planned investments in the sea port sector are aimed at addressing the additional capacity of LNG, while the future expansion plans aim to address the expected rise in demand from the massive development program undertaken by the government.

7. Retail & Leisure


The GCC retail sector has undergone a paradigm shift over the past decade on the back of a robust macroeconomic environment. The region has emerged as one of the most attractive destinations for retailers across the globe. Changing consumer behavior and lifestyle, increasing inuence of western culture, rising disposable income have led to phenomenal growth in the retail sector. As a result, the retail sector in the GCC is contributing to the overall growth in the non-hydrocarbon sector. Shopping malls and organized retail stores have gained prominence in the region as they are regarded as one stop entertainment shop for residents and tourists alike. Therefore, the total projects planned or underway for shopping malls in the region is USD 11.1 bn. We believe that Qatar has the potential to attract a bigger share as it prepares for the World Cup 2022 and the government thrust towards becoming a touristic hub in the region.

The emergence of trade, restaurants and hotels sector as the fourth largest contributor to GDP in 2010 reects the strong and growing performance of Qatars retail industry in recent years. The contribution to GDP has increased from 4.4% in 2006 to reach 5.5% in 2010. The retail sector growth in Qatar has mirrored the economic growth in the country. Qatars rapid economic growth has led to one of the highest GDP per capita in the world. Qatars retail sector has evolved over the past few years on the back of rapid growth in population. The sector has benetted from the rising purchasing power of its residents in recent years. This has led to a shift from unorganized to organized shopping, resulting in shopping malls and complexes. Shopping malls have become an important part of everyday life as they constitute a good source of entertainment for both residents and tourists in the country.

Although, shopping malls and commercial centers have entered the market during the past couple of years, the retail space remained scarce in the country. This has resulted in speculative demand, which has prompted sub-letting at enormously high prices. The prices of sub-letting can vary between QAR 100 to QAR 150 per sqm depending on the location. Surprisingly this phenomenon has become highly common in Doha. Qatars total retail stock was about 630,000 sqm (GLA) at the end of 2010, an increase of around 30% compared to 2009. Based on planned developments, Qatar will add 626,000 sqm (GLA) of new organized retail space by the end of 2012, thus doubling the existing retail capacity. The completion of 433,847 sqm (GLA) of Doha Festival City complex, which is being developed by Al Futtaim will be completed by 2014. The Barwa Commercial Avenue is under construction, which will yield 1 mn sqm of built up area. The rst phase of the project will yield around 0.5 mn sqm of GLA. The rst phase is about 60% complete and the rest is to be completed by the end of 2012. Both these projects will more than double Qatars current GLA upon completion. The total planned and projects underway in shopping mall are USD 3.1 bn. There are around 10 new malls being planned in Qatar. The total number of projects awarded during the year 2011 is USD 523 mn. Around USD 2 bn worth of projects is to be awarded in the year 2012 and 2013.

7.5 Hotels & Tourism


Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA) plays an important role in promoting Qatar as an evolving tourist destination. The company organizes and supervises the development of the tourism industry in Qatar. According to the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), Qatar has one of the fastest growing tourism sectors in the world. The contribution of the travel and tourism sector to GDP is expected to rise 6.4% per annum by 2021 from QAR 3.8 bn or 0.7% of total GDP in 2011. These assumptions are on the back of signicant planned investments in the sector and in line with the governments thrust to become a major tourist destination. QTA has done a commendable job in organizing and participating in conferences and exhibitions over the years, which has transformed Qatar into a business destination within the region. The increase in the number of business travelers due to the conferences and exhibitions is improving the hotel occupancy rates in Qatar. In terms of revenues, 4 star hotel revenues increased to QAR 182.4 mn in the third quarter of 2011 to QAR 101.9 mn during the same period of previous year. In terms of 5 star hotels, the revenue increased to QAR 385.6 mn in the third quarter of 2011 compared to QAR 304.6 mn of the previous year.

8. Social Infrastructure
Social infrastructure development becomes important in the midst of economic development. In addition, it is important in attracting expatriates to work and live in Qatar. These are indirect ways of creating demand, which will support the countrys National Vision 2030 of reaching their target population by the end of 2030. Investments in social infrastructure such as hospitals and education is on the rise as providing adequate education for the growing young population is the backbone of economic diversication. Both the healthcare and education is part of the governments human development programme.

8.1 Education

Education City

The education sector has undergone major transformation over the past two decades. The country has made major investments in improving the quality of its education system. Qatar leads the GCC in terms of education reforms as it ranks among the top ve nations globally in terms of quality of primary education. The government established the regulatory body, Supreme Education Council (SEC). The SEC comprises of three institutes, namely Education Institute to develop curriculum and professional training for teachers and staff, Evaluation Institute to assess and monitor the performance of schools and the Higher Education Institute to help outstanding students. According to a recent study by Qatars permanent Population Committee, the number of students is rising by around 4.5% annually. The strong growth in student enrolment has led to reform of Qatars primary and secondary schools. Currently, there are 165 independent schools serving around 80,000 students under the new system provided by the SEC. We believe that there are opportunities for the primary and secondary schools due to the rising demand, however, the main challenge would be the exorbitant prices of land. This would be lead to higher pricing structure for new schools, which may be unfavorable when compared to the existing schools.

One of the most signicant changes in the education sector was the establishment of Education City by the Qatar Foundation. Due to the modernization and its world class facilities, it has attracted both universities and students from around the region. Six American universities have opened branches in the Education City. Apart from these international universities, Qatar University continues to remain the main attraction for local students. The university also underwent series of reform between 2003 and 2007. The university offers 60 degrees from seven different colleges. In addition, the main driver for Qatari people to enroll in the public university is to secure high paying public sector jobs. Hamad bin Khalifa University is an initiative of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF) in honor of His Highness the Emir, HH Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani. This new multi-disciplinary university will combine the learning, teaching and research being carried out at the branch campuses of the universities and other academic centers at the Education City. The total projects planned or underway in Qatar is USD 6.6 bn. Total projects awarded during the year 2011 reached USD 1.2 bn, while it is expected that USD 620 mn worth of projects will be awarded during the fourth quarter of 2011. We believe that the total investment is likely to surpass the USD 6 bn as the development in Qatar will induce more primary and secondary schools and western universities to meet the rising demand in Qatar. Going forward, the government will continue its investment program to further improve its education system, which is important for the overall development of the country. The government intends to bring in modern educational curriculum, which will benet the development of local population. This is in line with the governments Vision 2030.

8.2 Healthcare
The government thrust on improving its healthcare system, makes in one of the largest spenders on healthcare in the GCC region. The rapid increase in population during the past ve years has resulted in serious shortages for healthcare system in Qatar. Qatar has a total of 9 hospitals and 22 primary healthcare centers. On an average, the government allocated around 10% of the total annual budget toward healthcare and related activities. In the countrys 2011/12 budget, the government has allocated QAR 8.8 bn (USD 2.4 bn) to the healthcare sector, which is around QAR 300 mn higher compared to the previous year. One of the key elements of human development of Qatar National Vision 2030 is health of the population. Qatar has introduced its National Health Strategy (NHS) 2011-16, in order to align with the Qatars National Vision 2030 and its ambition of becoming a regional centre for medical research. The strategy has 35 projects in plan over the next six years which will improve the overall healthcare services and fulll the needs of world class healthcare system.

Qatar spends around USD 137 mn per annum to send patients outside the country for treatment as it lacks quality healthcare. In order to address this issue, the government is planning to spend USD 8 bn on hospital construction projects by the end of 2016. The countrys public works ministry has approved plans to build eight new hospitals by 2016. The new hospitals will add 5,000 beds to the current capacity. One of the main challenges is attracting skilled professionals to achieve quality healthcare system in the country. The government has taken several initiatives to improve the quality and services of the healthcare system in Qatar. The government has formed partnerships with various foreign universities, institutions and colleges like University of Calagry Qatar and the Weill Cornell Medical College. The institutions have their campus in Qatar providing healthcare/ medical education and nursing training programmes. One of the most ambitious projects in the healthcare sector is the USD 2.5 bn Sidra Medical and Research Centre, USD 1.5 bn Hamad Medical City, and USD 500 mn Al Wakhra Hospital. Sidra Village: Mazaya Qatar Real Estate Development Company has awarded a $130m contract to Chinas Sinohydro to deliver the Sidra Village project in 20 months. Sidra Village comprises 1,165 residential units, including 658 onebedroom and 507 two-bedroom apartments. Sidra Medical and Research Centre is one of several initiatives taken by HH Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser AlMissned. The aim is to become the leading centre for the development of medical science in the Middle East. The three essential missions behind the initiative are patient care, medical education and biomedical research. Sidra Medical and Research Center will be located in Education City. It is owned and funded via a USD 7.9 bn endowment from Qatar Foundation. Sidra Medical and Research Centre will provide employment to around 5,000 people including doctors, nurses, technical staff, biomedical researchers, administrators and support staff. The centre will also have parking facility for approximately 2,000 vehicles and a residence for 350 nurses.

New Sidra Medical and Research Centre

The medical center will work closely with Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar and Hamad Medical Corporation in regard to all three missions, raising the standard of health care throughout the country and providing valuable opportunities for training the medical students and clinician. It will also include research in the eld of pregnancy health, infertility, genetic abnormalities, the health needs of children, and diseases specic to women.

9. Energy and Utilities


9.1 Energy
The gradual recovery in the global economies during the start of 2011 has resulted in steady ow of investments in the hydrocarbons sector in GCC region. This recovery reassured the region to increase in its production capacity to meet the growing demand. Energy sector plays an important role in the GCC region as it is main source of revenue. The original planned investment in oil and gas sector within the GCC was around USD 420 bn till 2020. However, the revised planned budget was 4% lower compared to the original planned investments. The revised planned investment in the GCC is around USD 401 bn (refer exhibit 33). The drop in value is due to Kuwait, which has revised its budget downwards by around 30%. Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, has increased its planned investment by around 10% to USD 134.6 bn. The change in revised investment plans can be attributed to the petrochemical sector, where the Saudi Arabia is considering massive investments over the next decade. Qatar accounts for only 10% of the total planned investments in the oil and gas sector in the GCC. In the GCC, the amount of contracts awarded is about USD 156.4 bn, which is around 40% of the revised planned investment in the oil and gas sector (refer to Exhibit 34). UAE and Saudi Arabia are by far the largest markets for the oil and gas in the region. UAE has awarded USD 70.2 bn worth of projects, while Saudi Arabia has awarded USD 58.2 bn. Saudi Arabia, the worlds largest producer of oil, has announced massive investments during the next ve years as it wants to capitalize on the rising oil prices. UAE, on the other hand, believes that focusing and investing in the oil and gas sector would be the most appropriate to boost the overall economy, especially after the sharp correction in the real estate sector on the back of global recession.

The hydrocarbon sector is the main contributor to the robust growth witnessed during the past few years. In terms of gas reserves, Qatar is the third-largest in the world behind Russia and Iran. It is the worlds largest global supplier of LNG and will become the worlds largest exporter of Gas-to-Liquids (GTL). The government will continue investing further to enhance its capacity to meet the rising demand in the gas sector. However, investments are likely to be much lower compared to past levels. Since 2006, Qatar has invested around USD 40 bn in the oil and gas sector. In Exhibit 36, majority of this was invested during the year 2006 and 2007 in order to achieve the desired capacity as mentioned above. In the year 2011, total amount of projects awarded in the energy sector was USD 2.9 bn, which is around 25% of the total projects awarded during the year.

Qatar started operation of mega train-7 (capacity 7.8 mtpa) in July 2009 and had brought another ve plants on-stream (46.8 mtpa) till Feb 2011. Qatar transportation company has 52 LNG vessel out of which 9 conventional vessels (145,000 154,000 m3), 31Q-Flex vessels (210,000 216,000 m3), 14 Q-max Vessels (263,000 266,000 m3). In 2011, Qatar achieved its target capacity of 77 mtpa for LNG. The governments investment in the energy sector is through Qatar Petroleum (QP), which is the only state owned petroleum company in Qatar. The company operates all oil and gas activities primarily including exploration, production, rening, transport, and storage. It is also involved in sale of crude oil, NGL, LNG, GTL, rened products, petrochemicals and fertilizers. QP accounts for about 50% of the countrys total crude oil output. Qatar petroleum has allocated USD 30.7 bn (2010-2014) for project in crude oil, natural gas, GTL and petrochemicals. However, the budget has been declining in gas sector as the expansion is nearing its completion. Gas-to-liquids (GTL) projects have received signicant attention in Qatar over the past several years. The government had originally set a target of developing 400,000 bpd (64,000 m3/d) of GTL capacity by 2012. The biggest GTL project in Qatar is Pearl GTL. In February 2007, the same week that Exxon Mobil decided to cancel its GTL plans, Shell held a ground breaking ceremony for its Pearl GTL project. The Pearl plant is 51% owned by Qatar Petroleum, though Shell will act as the operator of the project with a 49% stake. ORYX GTL is a synthetic fuel plant based in Ras Laffan Industrial City, Qatar, which is a JV between by Qatar Petroleum (51%) and Sasol (49%). The capacity of Oryx GTL is 34,000 bpd of oil. The facility is expected to use 1.6 bn cubic feet or 45 mn cubic meters per day (m3/d) of natural gas feedstock to produce 3.1mbd (499,000 cmd) of GTL products as well as 120,000 bpd (19,000 cmd) of associated condensate and LPG. Initially, the estimated cost of the project was USD 4 bn, which increased to between USD 12 and USD 18 bn. The Pearl GTL is the rst integrated GTL operation in the world, which will have upstream natural gas production integrated with the onshore conversion plant. By 2012, Qatar is likely to have 177,000 barrels per day (28,100 cmd) of GTL capacity from Oryx GTL and Pearl GTL.

9.2 Solar Energy


Winning the bid for FIFA World Cup 2022 has given a further llip to the solar energy sector in Qatar. In addition to the existing investment in the sector, major investments can be expected in the near term as the country prepares itself for the World Cup 2022. The ideas and concepts conceived from solar power are likely to ensure cooling and power control within the stadiums, which is very essential for the successful hosting of the event. As a result, Qatar is expected to invest about USD 1 bn on alternative energy. As of now, the country has awarded projects worth USD 0.7 bn. Qatar plans to build 9 new solar powered open-air stadiums designed by German Architects Albert Speer and Partner GmbH (AS&P), and renovate 3 existing stadiums.

Prototype: Qatar Solar Power Stadium

Electricity to cool these stadiums will be generated with photovoltaic panels (PV) and solar thermal collectors installed on the stadiums roofs and sides. Cool air will be pumped at spectators ankles, backs, and necks, and if permissible, the retractable roof can provide additional shade. Similarly, scientists and engineers at Qatar University have also developed a solar powered gas-lled cloud that will shade spectators and athletes from the roaring sun. In addition, the USD 0.5 mn articial clouds that can be positioned over any of the stadiums in Qatar and can be maneuvered with a remote control from the ground to keep the passing sun off the eld. Qatar Science and Technology will develop a plant at Ras Laffan Industrial City, which will be one of the rst operational polysilicon plants in the region. The plant will produce well over 3,500 tons per annum and has been designed with future expansion in mind. The solar energy will play an important role in successfully hosting the World Cup 2022 as the world will focus on Qatars to see if is able to deliver the cooling standards promised during the bidding stage.

9.3 Utilities
The GCC region is undergoing transformational changes in the utility sector due to rapid growth in population, commercial and industrial growth in the region. The governments of the GCC countries with the exception of Kuwait have embarked on a plan to restructure and privatize the sector. One of the other major developments in the power sector was the establishment of Power Grid Authority known as the GCC Interconnection Authority. The authority will be responsible for overlooking and monitoring of the GCC Power grid. The Grids existing members are Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar (for Phase 1) with Oman joining the alliance for Phase 2. Saudi Arabia can give and receive 1,200 MW, while the UAE 900 MW and Qatar 750 MW to and/or from the grid. Members are expected to maintain a minimum reserve ratio level and negotiations for power trading (which is to commence next year) have already begun. It is estimated that the grid would save USD 5 bn in energy costs for member countries. All six countries have joined in the second phase of the USD 1.4 bn project which was formally initiated in April 2011.

In the GCC, Qatar is well placed in terms of meeting the rising demand in the near future. The government is investing in the power sector but in phases to ensure that the there is no excess capacity. Qatar as well as the other GCC nations faces the problem of high consumption of electricity compared to the global averages. One of the main factors could be the subsidies provided by the government of Qatar on the cost of power and water in the country. Electricity and water is free of cost to the nationals, which accounts for around 13% of total population. Qatar is among the top countries in GCC in promoting Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) in energy and utilities sector. The drive to increase private-sector involvement in the country stepped up in 2000, with the formation of Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (QEWC). In Qatar, the power sector plants are owned and operated by QEWC. The company is also responsible for meeting the consumption needs of Qatar. The power-generation segment of QEWCs business is privatized. However, it sells its products through long-term power and water purchase Agreements (PWPAs) to Kahramaa, which is fully owned by the Qatari government. Kahramaa is the Qatari utilities regulator responsible for transmission and distribution of electricity and water, development of policies and procedures for the management and supervision of the water and electricity sectors in Qatar. Qatar is planning to privatize the transmission and distribution segment, which would increase the transparency and efciency within the sector. In the past 20 years, QEWC has continued to expand its production capacity through fully and jointly owned plants. In 3Q 11, the company reached electricity generation capacity of 5,578 MW and water-desalination capacity of 265 million imperial gallons per day (MIGD), representing more than 60% and 70% of Qatars total power and water production capacities, respectively. In 2011, Qatar commissioned the USD 3.9 bn Ras Girtas power plant, which is expected to be one of the major power generation plants in the country located in Ras Laffan Industrial City. The plant is expected to produce 2,730 MW of electricity and 286,404 m3/d of desalinated water. Qatar holds 60% of the plant which is divided between QEWC (45%) and Qatar Petroleum (15%) and rest 40% is being held by Ras Qatar Energy Company. It is a 25 year contract between Ras Qatar and QEWC, according to which Ras Qatar will supply its production to QEWC which in turn will use it to supply to the local network or externally in the context of the GCC Electricity Link-up System. The total planned investment in power sector is around USD 9.0 bn. Total value of projects awarded was USD 3.7 bn since 2008, out of which USD 3.1 bn was awarded in 2008 and 2009. In 2011, three projects were awarded with a total value of USD 422 mn. The value of projects awarded accounted for around 6% of the total value of projects awarded in Qatar. There were a total of 19 projects awarded in the power sector compared to 338 projects in Qatar. Exhibit 40: Value of investment in power sector

The total investment in the power sector during 2010 and 2011 (so far) has remained subdued especially as the major capacity is expected to come online in 2011. Power sector investments will continue to remain subdued as Qatar is well placed in terms of meeting the demand requirements. The expected investment in power sector is around USD 5 bn in the next decade. As a result, the excess capacity is likely to sold to other members of the GCC through Kahramaa, especially Sharjah and Kuwait as they are experiencing shortages. This process may be facilitated by the completion of the GCC Interconnection Power Grid. Qatar has already completed the rst phase of this project with the remaining two phases set to conclude this year. In Qatar, more than 75% of the water requirement is dependent on the supply of desalinated water. The average per capita consumption is estimated at 310 liters per person per day. Construction activity (preparation for World cup 2022) and the agricultural sector accounted for more than 70% of water demand in Qatar. Qatar has minimal groundwater reserves with an average rainfall of about 75 millimeters a year. Therefore, it is more than 99% reliant on desalination to meet its domestic demand. The desalination capacity in the region is expected to increase by 24% from current levels to reach 325 MIGD by the end of 2012. Exhibit 41: Investment in Qatar water sector

The Kahramaa has invested in water storage construction activity, undertaking a USD 2.75 bn reservoir project capable of holding seven days worth of fresh water as a backup for desalinated water supply. The 1.9 bn gallon facility will include a network of reservoirs connected by a 183 km, 2.5 m-wide pipeline linking the Ras Laffan desalination facility in the countrys north and the Ras Abu Fonts plant in the south. Treated wastewater contribution to the water supply is expected to rise from 0.05 bn cubic meters per year in 2011 to 0.065 bn cubic meters per year by 2015. Ensuring that more and more water in the country is re-used, the government of Qatar has formed a joint venture with Singapores Darco Water Technologies to build a USD 5 bn wastewater recycling plant for serving the small towns and villages of Qatar. The Public Works Authority (PWA) is responsible for the waste water and drainage projects in the country. The total planned investment in water sector is around USD 6.9 bn, which has been revised upwards from USD 5.2 bn. Total value of projects awarded was USD 3.8 bn since 2008. In 2011, three projects were awarded with a total value of USD 362 mn. The expected investment in water sector is around USD 3 bn in the next decade. Kahramaa has allocated USD 4.3 bn for two main pilot projects. The rst, a water production technology independent of power expected to be operational by 2012, will add 0.05 mn m3/d capacity to the system. The second is for a reservoir with 8,000 meter cube holding capacity to service the West Bay and Airport area in Doha.

10.1 Cement
The cement industry has undergone signicant expansion during the past few years on the back of massive investments in the construction sector. The cement sector is the biggest beneciary of the construction spending in general and the real estate sector in particular. The demand for cement in the GCC countries has given an entry option to new players in the region. In 2005, the region produced 48 mt of cement which further increased to 85 mt in 2010.

The two major cement producers in the region are Saudi Arabia and UAE. The UAE registered a CAGR growth of 16.6% from 11 mt in 2006 to 20.3 mt in 2010 (refer to Exhibit 43), which is the highest in the region. The countrys strong growth in production was driven by massive investment in construction during 2003 to 2008. Since then the country has witnessed the highest number of projects on hold or cancelled due to the overall liquidity crisis, which was led by the global recession. Saudi Arabia is the largest producer of cement in the GCC. During 2006 and 2010, cement production grew at a CAGR of 17.0% to 50.8 mt (refer to Exhibit 43). This healthy growth in production was on the back of massive public spending in the construction sector, especially the real estate sector. Exhibit 43: Cement production in the GCC

Qatar is the third largest cement market in the GCC in terms of both consumption and production capacity. Historically, the cement production in Qatar was below the consumption and the excess demand was accommodated by importing from Saudi Arabia. Qatar National Cement Company (43% owned by Government of Qatar) was the only cement company in Qatar up until 2010, which enjoyed the monopoly in the market. But since 2010, two new companies entered the cement market due to capitalize on the construction activity, namely Al Khalij and Al Jaber Cement Industries. Exhibit 44: Qatar cement production

The production of cement has increased over the years as the companies gear up for the ongoing construction activity. Currently, the companies are planning to further expand their production to prepare for the massive investment in construction sector. Majority of the construction will come from infrastructure and real estate sector, where cement sector is the direct beneciary. Qatars contribution to GCC production has increased from 4.9% in 2007 to 6.2% in 2010. We believe that this is likely to increase further as the companies gear to meet the rising demand in the next ve years. Qatars current production capacity stands at 6.2 mt. Qatar National Cement Company (QNCC) is the largest cement producer with a production capacity of 4.4 mt and a market share of around 70%. QNCC also announced that it is going to increase it cement capacity by 0.93 mtpa to 5.36 mtpa in the coming years. Al Khalij and Al Jaber have a market share of 24% and 5% respectively in the domestic market. Cement prices have been volatile in the GCC, especially in the UAE. However, the cement price in Qatar has been cement as it is controlled by the government. Going forward, we do not expect any volatility in the cement price and believe that it will continue to remain stable at current levels.

COMMERCIALBANK CAPITAL - CONSTRUCTION SECTOR REPORT - 53

The current production capacity of cement in Qatar is enough to absorb the demand. Going forward, we believe that cement consumption will grow at a CAGR of around 12% from 2011 to 2015 (refer to Exhibit 45). In our view, majority of the projects that are under construction or planned will be completed by the end of 2015. Exhibit 45: Qatar cement consumption forecast

Based on that assumption, we have forecasted the cement consumption in Qatar. We believe that the consumption will be at its peak in the years 2013 and 2014. Qatari cement companies are unlikely to match this demand, which means that the excess demand will be imported from Saudi Arabia and UAE. The outlook on cement sector in Qatar is positive on the massive investment in the construction sector backed by strong macroeconomic fundamentals.

10.2 Steel
The global steel industry has witnessed a boom and bust cycle in past few years. In past ve years, world steel production grew at a CAGR of 2.1%, while the GCC grew by 9% in 2010. The contribution of GCC to the world has remained same for the past four years (refer to Exhibit 46), indicating that the regions capacity expansion is line with global standards. In the GCC, there are 18 steel companies, engaged in production of raw steel and nished steel products. Steel consumption across the GCC region has increased underpinned by signicant investment in the construction sector. Exhibit 46: GCC steel production (000 MT)

The total production of aluminum is likely to increase by 8.4% annually till 2014, which will take the total production to 4.2 mt. The demand for aluminum products in the construction sector is expected to increase at a CAGR of 9%, which means that GCC will continue to import to meet the excess demand on the back of massive investment plans in the construction sector. Qatar accounts for about 15% of the total production in the GCC. Qatar is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12% between 2010 and 2014, the fastest in the GCC region. We remain optimistic on Qatar Aluminum sector and believe that it will continue to witness strong demand on the back of massive investment plans in Qatar as it prepares for the World Cup 2022. Qatar Aluminum (Qatalum) is a 50-50 joint venture between Qatar Petroleum and the Norwegian company Hydro Aluminum. The plant has a production capacity of 585,000 mt per year. Qatalums complex facilities include a carbon plant, port and storage facilities, as well as a captive power plant. The company is planning to increase the production capacity and export to all countries as company does not have a specic quota. Dubai Aluminum Company Limited (DUBAL) is one of the largest industrial companies in the UAE, located in Jebel Ali. The company was established by Investment Corporation of Dubai in 1975. DUBAL is currently ranked as the 7th largest global producer in the industry with a current production capacity of 980,000 tons per annum by the end of 2010. Emirate Aluminum (EMAL) is a 50-50 JV between DUBAL and Mubadala Development Company. EMAL is a greeneld smelter development at Al Taweelah, Abu Dhabi.

11. Methodology and Assumptions


Methodology
Step 1: Economic indicators was sourced from Qatar Statistics Authority and IMF (Forecast) Step 2: Initially, the list of projects ongoing and planned was compiled from various relevant sources. We decided to take data from one source due to the inconsistency from various sources. Step 3: Project data was further analyzed and categorized as follows: The data was re-classied based on the sectors that are being discussed and analyzed in this report. The residential project data was also re-classied in to residential, commercial, hotel and tourism based on description of each project under this category We have analyzed the start and end date for each project and calculated the remaining days left on each project. The number of days was divided by 90 to arrive at the remaining quarters left on each project The project value was appropriated based on project life. The allocation was done on per quarter basis. For example, if a USD 200 mn project started in Q3-09 and is set for completion in Q3-11, USD 25 mn is allocated per quarter. 2009 project value would be USD 25 mn, 2010 USD 100 mn and allocation for 2011 will be USD 75 mn

Step 4: We have taken the existing projects in the above format. We have added future investments to the existing projects based on the USD 225 bn announced by NDS. Step 5: Based on this assumption, we have created three scenarios, which are Base, Worst and Best case scenarios. Step 6: In each scenario, we have assumed a % of GDP based two growth stages. The forecasted GDP is taken from IMF until 2016, thereafter a 5% growth in GDP is assumed till 2020. The rst growth stage would be from 2013 to 2017, while the second growth stage would be 2018 to 2020

Total Construction size = planned/underway projects + planned by NDS + additional investments as a % of GDP

Scenario Assumption
In order to arrive at the total market size, we have added the contributions from three approaches as described above. This methodology was adopted to build three scenarios in our analysis to arrive at a market size. In each scenario, the base of USD 225 bn remains the same while following assumptions are made for each scenario: Base case: The optimum Scenario No projects cancellation or on hold is assumed during the projection period We have assumed additional investments as a % of GDP in two growth stages. The first is between 2013 and 2017 and the second is between 2018 and 2020 Worse case: Slowdown to impact the overall projects planned We have assumed a 15% drop in planned investments by the government due to the adverse effect of global slowdown No additional investments as a % of GDP Best case: Optimistic based on new sporting events No projects cancellation or on hold is assumed during the projection period We have assumed additional investments as a % of GDP in two growth stages. The rst is between 2013 and 2017 and the second is between 2018 and 2020

Data Limitations
Data discrepancies were witnessed for various projects. Therefore, we have taken the data from what we perceived as the most reliable source, which has been referred as the source throughout the report Since GDP estimates by IMF were available till 2016, we have taken a conservative growth rate of 5% per year until 2020.
