The report also examines how best to maximise returns in the commercial real estate market, while minimising investment risk and exploring the effect of a stalled pipeline on a market, which until the events of early 2011 held so much potential. The key risks and opportunities driven by domestic and regional investor activism, combined with the future potential of the domestic consumer market, are also explored; with macroeconomic fundamentals and political developments underpinning short-term industry sentiment and performance.We see little prospect for a swift economic recovery in Egypt in 2012. Although we remain bullish in the long-term, our full-year 2011 data has started to reveal the tangible effects of Egypt’s uneasy political transition on the commercial real estate market, with retail space suffering particularly from the country’s volatility. We expect rents to stabilise over the coming quarters, but beyond the trend of increasing rental divergence, the return to pre-Arab Spring rental rates will be a gradual process.Key Points:- High quality space across the three sub-sectors is forecast to outperform due to a shortage of new supply and client desire to reduce the risk profile of their businesses wherever possible.- We expect growth to remain anaemic through end-FY2011/12, with investment not picking up until after the conclusion of presidential elections in late June. The vote should provide a degree of clarity over the country's future political trajectoryTue, 15 May 2012 09:35:00 GMTBusiness Monitor International Limited pdf_150512093952Subscriptionhttp://www.zawya.com/story/BMI_Middle_East_and_Africa_Food_and_Drink_May12-pdf_150512090206/BMI’s Middle East and North Africa (MENA) ratings assess a market’s attractiveness to industry investors in comparison with its peers. The reward part of the rating takes into account market size, current consumption levels, future industry growth prospects (based on our five-year industry forecasts), market fragmentation (with greater fragmentation indicating higher opportunities) and the size of the youth population. Meanwhile, the risk part of the rating takes into account the legislative environment, the level of development of the organised retail sector (with higher development leading to lower risks), as well as relevant aspects of the economic and political environment.Tue, 15 May 2012 08:58:00 GMTBusiness Monitor International Limited pdf_150512090206Subscriptionhttp://www.zawya.com/story/BMI_Middle_East_and_Africa_Pharma_and_Healthcare_Insight_May12-pdf_150512085455/BMI View: The better-regulated markets of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), South Africa and Israel will remain the most rewarding and least risky for drugmakers operating in the Middle East and Africa (MEA). However, these markets are rapidly approaching maturity and are expected to grow only in the mid-to-high single digits. As pharmaceutical companies look to enter markets with higher potential, they will likely turn their attention first to the Gulf Levant and then North Africa, where population demographics, the regulatory framework and macroeconomic factors will facilitate growth. Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries remain the final frontier in terms of investment because the risks in these countries are higher and at present the rewards are lower. However, their appeal lies in the long term and the companies that establish their brands sooner rather than later will benefit most. Generally speaking, BMI has preferred the Southern African region over East Africa, which has recently been overtaken in attractiveness by West and Central Africa.Tue, 15 May 2012 08:52:00 GMTBusiness Monitor International Limited pdf_150512085455Subscriptionhttp://www.zawya.com/story/BMI_Middle_East_and_Africa_Oil_and_Gas_May12-pdf_150512085021/BMI View: The oil market will once again be tight in 2012, though the pressure should ease towards the latter half of the year as production starts to catch up with demand.

Low oil prices offset the seasonal impact of Easter vacation on spending. The 6%YoY drop in oil prices to an average of 103.3USD/barrel helped food prices increase to slow to 10.8% down from 10.9% in March. It is worth noting that April’s inflation saw a 1%MoM increase, slightly below 1.2% a month earlier. Though we still believe the ongoing domestic pressures should affect prices, this is not reflected in the headline CPI, as the index is mainly driven by the food segment. However, we expect core CPI to reach 8.9% in April, up from 8.7% a month earlier. In May, we expect urban headline CPI to further ease with a reading of 8.5% supported by the fall in oil prices.Thu, 10 May 2012 13:01:00 GMTCI Capital Research pdf_100512130253Subscriptionhttp://www.zawya.com/story/Egypt_holds_first_ever_presidential_candidate_debate-ANA20120510T114146ZTLV26/Egypt is set to hold its first ever debate between presidential candidates on Thursday when two frontrunners for this month's election duel it out on television.Thu, 10 May 2012 11:55:13 GMTAFP ANA20120510T114146ZTLV26Openhttp://www.zawya.com/story/Arab_world_population_to_double_by_2050_report-ZAWYA20120510065915/The urban population of the Arab States, which already quadrupled between 1970 and 2010, will more than double by 2050, according to the United Nations Human Settlements Programe's (UN-Habitat) new report.Thu, 10 May 2012 09:15:18 GMTJordan News Agency - Petra ZAWYA20120510065915Open
