Bahrain: Key developments

EIU Viewswire: 16 November 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

Outlook for 2012-16

  • The Economist Intelligence Unit expects that political unrest in Bahrain will continue but that the royal family and security services will remain in control.
  • The government will maintain its public stance of being open to dialogue with the opposition. But its efforts will be undermined by the limited nature of the concessions being offered and by the cynicism of many Bahrainis.
  • Fiscal revenue will be dominated by oil income. The government will run large fiscal deficits in 2012-16, averaging 5.8% of GDP.
  • Bahrain will continue to participate in the development of a Gulf monetary union, but we do not expect a single currency for several years. The Central Bank of Bahrain will keep the dinar pegged to the dollar in the meantime.
  • We estimate that Bahrain's economy will have grown by only 1.8% in 2011. Growth is forecast to average 4.3% in 2012-16, as the services sector slowly recovers from the damage done by the political unrest this year.
  • We have revised up our oil price projections for 2013-16 and now expect the current-account surplus to average 6% of GDP over the forecast period.
  • Average consumer prices will have fallen by 0.5% this year, but inflation will pick up over the forecast period, averaging 3.3% a year.

Monthly review

  • The publication of the findings of the commission investigating human rights abuses during the unrest in early 2011 has been delayed by three weeks. The commission has come under fire for not investigating senior authorities.
  • A US arms sale to Bahrain has been put on hold pending the findings of the commission. This may prompt the government to consider implementing some social reforms.
  • Clashes between protesters and security services continued after the funeral of a 78-year-old man who was said to have been killed by police. Human rights groups have continued to denounce the detainment of protesters.
  • Parliament has given the government its approval to borrow US$350m from Qatar to fund Bahrain's share of the long-stalled Bahrain-Qatar "Friendship Causeway", a planned land bridge to link the two countries.
  • A Canadian-British businessman accused of bribing figures at Aluminium Bahrain (the state-owned smelting company) was arrested by the UK's Serious Fraud Office in October.
  • International conferences have continued to snub Bahrain despite efforts by its Arab allies to bring international events back to the kingdom. Hotel occupancy rate was down by 6% in September 2011.



Alba take part in yacht club fishing event

Gulf Daily News (Bahrain): 10 November 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

ALUMINIUM Bahrain (Alba) will be joining the hunt for the best catch of the day with its sponsorship of Bahrain Yacht Club's Annual Fishing Competition, taking place tomorrow at the club's premises in Sitra.

The day-long event promises to be tailor-made for a perfect weekend outing with friends and family - with lots of fun and games as well as a special barbecue on the beach.

Commenting on Alba's sponsorship of the competition, Alba chief executive Laurent Schmitt said: "Alba regularly supports events and activities aimed to enrich the community life in Bahrain. Our backing for the Bahrain Yacht Club's Annual Fishing Competition is one such example, and highlights our commitment to support an event that the entire family can enjoy."

Alba will be sending a team to participate in the event.

The yacht club was established in 1977, and since then it has provided a common meeting ground for lovers of sailing and water sports. It also conducts training of scuba diving and water sports at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels.



Roundup: Gulf Arab markets ignore Western market woes

Xinhua News Agency: 09 November 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

DUBAI, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- Despite heavy losses at the stock exchanges in Europe and the United States due to the debt crisis escalation in Italy, Gulf Arab stock exchanges posted slight gains on Wednesday, which marked the first trading day after the Muslim feast Eid El-Adha.

In Dubai, the FTSE NASDAQ Dubai UAE 20 Index gained 1.01 percent to reach 1483.67 points. Shares of global commercial port operator DP World soared 2.28 percent to reach 11.20 U.S. dollars.

The Abu Dhabi bourse ADX added 0.04 percent to finish at 2,483. 29 points.

In Manama, the Bahrain All Share Index added 0.36 percent, closing at 1,159.25 points. Shares of Aluminium Bahrain, or Alba, surged by 2.88 percent, reaching 0.535 Bahraini dinars (about 1.41 U.S. dollars).

The Qatar Exchange in Doha was the market of the day, as it has crossed break-even as the only Arab stock exchange this year as yet. The QE Index advanced by 0.86 percent, closing at 8,704.92 points amid low trading volumes. Year-to-date, the QE Index stands with a plus of 0.27 percent in the green.

All other Arab bourse have not generated positive returns due to the turmoil in the region, though the Gulf Arab markets have been less affected.

Stock markets in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia remained closed on Wednesday, as the two oil-rich countries enjoy an extended holiday.



Bahraini royal denies taking bribes in Alba case

ArabianBusiness.com: 02 November 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

A member of the Bahraini royal family has denied accusations of corruption made against him in a UK court case involving a London-based businessman and contracts involving Bahraini aluminium producer Alba and US giant Alcoa .Corruption has been a key issue that the opposition in the Gulf Arab state, who led a protest movement for more democracy earlier this year, has focused on.The government, dominated by the ruling Al Khalifa family, has said it will take new measures to combat it. It shut down the uprising in February and March, saying it was driven by the sectarian concerns of majority Shi'ites and backed by Iran."Isa Bin Ali Al-Khalifa wishes to categorically deny the allegations of corruption reported against him in the press following the charges brought against certain parties," said the statement, provided by his Paris-based lawyer Ardavan Amir-Aslani.It said Sheikh Isa, a former Bahraini oil minister and Alba board chairman, "is not directly targeted by the on-going legal procedures in relation to the Alba (Aluminium Bahrain) matter".British and Canadian national Victor Dahdaleh was arrested and charged last week with paying bribes to officials of state-controlled Alba, linked to contracts with US-based Alcoa.Dahdaleh has said he will contest the charges.Sheikh Isa is named in the charge sheet as a co-conspirator and accused of taking almost $6m in bribes.Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) said last month it was taking legal action to recover losses stemming from alleged fraudulent contracts involving Dahdaleh, after Britain's Serious Fraud Office (SFO) office arrested him.The contracts were for supplies of intermediate product alumina, shipped to Bahrain from Australia, and for the supply of further goods and services to Alba, according to the SFO.Alba said last month it had recovered more than $30m from European companies but has not said how much the total losses are.Alba said it has filed a civil suit seeking damages against Dahdaleh, aluminum maker Alcoa , and a group of other related individual and corporate defendants in the US District Court in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.The company also said it filed a suit in December 2009 against the Japanese trading company Sojitz Corp in the US District Court in Houston, Texas, in connection with bribery allegations linked to the sale price for finished aluminium sold by Alba.Dahdaleh, who appeared in court in London on Monday and faces six charges of corruption and two of money laundering, has successfully appealed bail conditions that initially required a 10 million pound security to be paid, tagging and a ban on overseas travel. Both the security and the electronic tag condition have been waived after a hearing on Wednesday.Dahdaleh will be due in court again on January13.



Bahrain's Alba sees production levels steady in Q4

ArabianBusiness.com: 02 November 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

Aluminium Bahrain, the metals maker known as Alba, forecasts production levels in the fourth-quarter will be similar to the previous, said chief financial officer Tim Murray. The company

has no need to raise financing to fund a new production line, said Murray in a conference call on Wednesday. ?Cash flows are still relatively healthy,? he said. ?We should still be at a position to pay a reasonable

dividend for 2011.? Alba is studying options to build a line that will produce 400,000 tonnes and lift

the performance of two current lines, adding another 80,000 tonnes. Alba said September 21 the price it pays for natural gas will rise by 50 percent starting January 1. The Bahrain-based smelter is seeking to expand by 50 percent by 2015 to meet

growing demand and is targeting annual cost savings of $250m by 2012, Schmitt said in a June interview. The Middle East poses an advantage to producers of the commodity because of lower energy costs. Alba yesterday posted a third-quarter profit, compared with a loss a year earlier, after it boosted production levels. It had net income of $214m, compared with a loss of $51m in the year-ago quarter. Alba closed 2.1 percent higher in Bahrain on Wednesday, giving the company a market value of BD695.8m ($1.85bn). The stock has lost almost 46 percent this year.



World: Commodities - EIU's quarterly aluminium outlook

EIU Viewswire: 01 November 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

Demand

The Economist Intelligence Unit expects global aluminium consumption to grow by 3.9% in 2011, a marked slowdown from 2010, when consumption expanded by 14.1%. The weak performance in 2011 reflects slow growth in the EU and the US as well as the disruption stemming from the earthquake in Japan in March, which hampered industrial activity (and hence demand for aluminium) for much of the second quarter. Global primary aluminium consumption grew by 4.1% year on year in January-July 2011 to 24.4m tonnes, according to the World Bureau of Metal Statistics (WBMS). China's apparent consumption was surprisingly weak during this seven-month period, edging up by 4.8% year on year, partly offsetting the strong performance in the EU (particularly in Germany, where consumption swelled by 17.1%). However, the EU is not expected to maintain such a performance in the latter part of the year, owing to the turmoil in the peripheral EU countries that has undermined business confidence and investment.

Our forecast of an improvement in global consumption growth in 2012, to 5.6%, is based on the assumption that supply chains, particularly in the automotive sector, will have recovered fully by the end of 2011. Consumption growth will continue to rise in 2013, to 6.2%, driven by demand in the developing world, helped by increasing car ownership in countries such as China and India. Alongside its use in the construction, consumer goods and packaging sectors, the metal's lightweight properties also ensure that it will remain in considerable demand in terms of producing fuel-efficient cars and aircraft.

Aluminium consumption growth will slow in the EU

Year-on-year growth in apparent consumption in the EU was strong in the first seven months of 2011 (standing at 12.5% year on year), fuelled by continued expansion in Germany's automotive sector. However, consumer and business confidence has been severely damaged by the deteriorating outlook for the euro zone, and we have revised down our forecast for consumption growth in 2012 to 2.5% (from 2.8% previously), down from an estimated increase of 6% in 2011. Consumption of aluminium will be constrained by weak regional GDP growth, moribund property markets, tighter policy conditions, particularly fiscal tightening measures in Europe's peripheral countries, and the end of the restocking cycle. However, consumption should strengthen somewhat, to 3%, in 2013 as the economy starts to recover. Nevertheless, there is a risk of lower consumption if the euro zone sovereign debt crisis deepens.

Japanese aluminium demand gains on industrial recovery

Consumption in Japan, which accounted for 5.1% of world aluminium consumption in 2010, is estimated to have shrunk in 2011 owing to the severe disruptions to the manufacturing supply chain and consumer sentiment as a result of the earthquake and nuclear disaster in March. However, supply chain disruptions have been easing in the past few months. To date, the power rationing has proved manageable because companies have not been able to procure enough parts to produce at higher levels of output. However, if electricity shortages persist following the shutdown of nuclear power facilities, this will hinder the return to normal operations. Nevertheless, assuming Japanese car factories and parts suppliers resume normal operations by the end of the year, industrial production and demand for aluminium in the automotive industry in particular will strengthen. We expect aluminium consumption to be down by nearly 5% for 2011 as a whole (in the first seven months of the year, apparent consumption was down by 10.7% year on year). A combination of base effects and higher demand stemming from the post-earthquake reconstruction phase will boost aluminium consumption, by over 7% in 2012, before growth slows to 3.5% in 2013 as the effect of the reconstruction-based recovery wanes and higher base effects kick in. However, the effect from the reconstruction effort may be more constrained, given the possibility that large amounts of aluminium scrap from the disaster could be recycled.

Measures to cool China's inflation could hit demand for aluminium

We expect growth in China's aluminium consumption to slow to 5% in 2011, following an increase of 10.5% in 2010. Apparent consumption was weak in the first seven months of 2011, but this was in part owing to the high base period and also probably reflects some inventory drawdown. We expect that growth during the remainder of the year will have been constrained by tighter monetary policy, more restrained investment and relatively weak demand for new cars, but the pace of growth will pick up to an annual average of 5.8% in 2012-13. The expansion of the country's high-speed rail infrastructure will support consumption, although there are some doubts about the future of the project following the recent high-speed train crash. There is a risk that the authorities could overtighten policy in their fight against inflation, which could result in a sharp slowdown in demand for aluminium. However, the current leadership appears determined to keep the economy on track before a leadership transition in 2012.

Policy tightening and concerns over the economy will constrain US demand

In the US, apparent aluminium consumption was lacklustre in the first seven months of 2011, falling by 7% year on year. Sluggish growth in recent months may have in part reflected the fact that Japanese carmakers in the US had to cut production owing to problems sourcing parts from Japan, but aluminium consumption had already been falling in the first quarter, before the Japanese disaster. Certainly, demand for aluminium in North America has continued to be hampered by fears of a further slowdown in the economy. Therefore, we still expect aluminium consumption this year to contract by 4.5%. Subdued economic growth means that only a marginal improvement is likely in 2012-13. Indeed, the risk is on the downside, given that private consumption in the US could remain depressed, with particularly negative consequences for the automotive sector.

Consumption growth in Brazil will stay strong, despite slowing GDP growth

In Brazil, aluminium consumption rose by 11.3% year on year in January-July 2011, supported by the government's growth acceleration programme (PAC), which focuses on infrastructure development. Consumption was fuelled further by continued rapid growth in car ownership, the start of a construction boom ahead of the football World Cup in 2014 and the Olympic Games in 2016, and further expansionary fiscal policies (the latest of which is a cut in tax on petrol that was announced in late September). However, the country is having to rely increasingly on imports to satisfy its growing demand, owing in part to capacity constraints. Demand for aluminium will be curbed somewhat by the fact that Brazil's economy has begun to slow; we have cut our estimate for consumption growth this year to 11.7% (from 13.7% previously). However, given the ongoing construction work in preparation for the World Cup and the Olympic Games, we expect aluminium consumption growth to average more than 15% a year in 2012-13.

India's 12th five-year plan will spur demand for aluminium

Under India's 12th five-year plan, which commences in April 2012, the government plans to invest heavily in the country's urbanisation and infrastructure development. This should support demand for aluminium during the five years of the plan, although the pace of growth in consumption may be relatively slow in the early part of this period. There will be large-scale investments to tackle energy shortages, which will involve the use of aluminium for the power transmission lines, while the government's tax breaks for wind-farm projects and renewable energy sources will boost demand for aluminium for use in the production of wind turbines. However, apparent consumption was surprisingly weak in January-July 2011, falling by nearly 7% year on year, according to data from the WBMS, and we estimate a full-year contraction of around 5%. We expect consumption to rebound in 2012 and remain at around 10-11% in 2013.

Supply

Global primary aluminium production recovered strongly in 2010, growing by 10.5% to 41.1m tonnes, driven predominantly by the restart of idle capacity at independent Chinese smelters, but also by the coming on stream of large smelters in the Middle East, particularly in the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) countries. Still-high levels of domestic demand in China are likely to encourage local producers to operate at high levels in 2011, leaving little room for restarts of production at the idle smelters in North America or western Europe. However, swing capacity, primarily in China, will have to remain controlled in order to balance the market. Environmental issues, energy constraints and tightening policy conditions will also act to constrain output growth both in China and globally. In the light of these constraints, there will be an increased focus on boosting the use of recycled aluminium in place of refining new metal. Given all these trends, we estimate that global primary aluminium production slowed to 4.4% in 2011, and will average around 4.2% a year in 2012-13.

Energy shortages are expected to constrain production in China

In 2010 China's output expanded by 25.6%, totalling 16.2m tonnes, equivalent to around 40% of global output. Restrictions on electricity usage and still-high energy costs will curtail growth in manufacturing activity in the coming quarters, thus limiting demand growth. Under its five-year plan, the government has committed to lowering energy usage by 16% in 2015 from 2010 levels. Recent monetary tightening and the withdrawal of fiscal stimulus will also hold back growth in aluminium output in China, forcing some swing producers to reduce output in response to signs of overproduction. The expansion of the industry will also be constrained by regulation over the next few years: the government has instructed local authorities to stop approving construction of new aluminium smelting capacity, as part of efforts to reduce growth in energy-intensive industries. Furthermore, the government is reportedly planning to reduce export tax rebates for semi-finished aluminium products (the current level of this rebate for some producers is 13%). The appreciation of the renminbi is also eroding the competitiveness of China's aluminium exports.

Nevertheless, new capacity is being built. Alcoa (US) and the China Power Investment Corporation signed a Memorandum of Understanding in January, agreeing to work together on US$7.5bn worth of clean aluminium and energy projects. In July the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), China's top economic planner, also approved a 1m-tonne alumina project based in the north-western Shanxi province. On balance, however, we forecast that production growth will slow to an annual average of 3% in 2012-13 from 7% in 2011.

India plans capacity boost to meet growing demand

India's aluminium production rose by 8.9% in 2010 to 1.6m tonnes and is expected to grow by an average of 6.9% in 2011-13. However, environmental concerns remain an obstacle to some of India's aluminium producers. Plans for new projects continue to be put forward, as companies gear up to meet the expected increase in domestic demand for the metal. Hindalco (India) has stated that it is commissioning a series of projects to boost aluminium smelting capacity to 1.8m tonnes/year (t/y) from 600,000 t/y currently, but has said that it is struggling to commission projects because of uncertainty regarding the country's regulatory environment.

Energy conservation boosts demand for recycled aluminium

The issue of energy conservation and efficiency continues to gain importance globally, not only in response to environmental concerns, but also because of the high cost of energy and energy shortages in some countries. Conversely, although aluminium boasts environmentally friendly features because of its lightweight properties for cars, the production of the metal is hugely energy-intensive, accounting for around 50% of the aluminium industry's production costs. Prevailing high energy prices are behind shutdowns and the holding back of new primary aluminium projects. It is therefore unsurprising that the market for recycled aluminium is gaining ground. Certainly, Novelis (part of India-based Aditya Birla Group) plans to raise the amount of recycled aluminium used in its goods to four tonnes out of every five tonnes of the metal that it produces, and plans major investment in its recycling facilities in Europe to achieve this aim. Buyers of the recycled metal include the transport sector, as well as the building and construction industries.

Capacity constrains could limit growth in production in Brazil

Production of aluminium in Latin America is estimated to remain weak in 2011, dropping by 3% (mainly owing to a sluggish performance in Brazil), following a contraction of 8.1% in 2010. Although we expect output to rise in 2012-13, by around 5-6% a year, bolstered by a low base of comparison and continued economic growth in the region that encourages investment, the risk to our forecast is on the downside. Brazil accounts for around 60% of production in the region, but the country has not increased capacity since 1985, and production capacity has now fallen to 1.5m t/y. Brazil's primary aluminium production was 827,600 tonnes in the first seven months of 2011, a decline of 7.2% year on year, according to the WBMS. Reportedly, aluminium companies want the government to abolish import duties because of the tight supply conditions in the domestic market. A Norwegian firm, Norsk Hydro, has boosted its production in Brazil, increasing output at the Alunorte refinery, the world's largest refinery, to 6.3m tonnes this year. Elsewhere in Latin America, Venezuelan output is being held back by insufficient investment in capacity, and the country has had to import large amounts of the metal.

Output in Russia is expected to rise as new capacity comes on stream

Data from Russia's federal State Statistics Service suggest that the country's aluminium output was 2.4% lower in January-August this year compared with the same period in 2010. However, Rusal is reportedly making progress on projects for new smelters and modernisation of existing plants-the 600,000-t/y smelter at the Boguchanskoya energy and metals complex on the Angara river is expected to start producing aluminium by the end of the first quarter of 2013. Rusal also received loan approval to construct its 750,000-t/y Taishet smelter near Irkutsk in September; it aims to commence operations in 2013. Nevertheless, in line with this recent apparent weak performance, and also reflecting the recent announcement by Rusal that it had cut its planned output increase to 1% for 2011 as a whole (from 2% previously), we estimate that supply increased by just 0.8% in 2011. However, we forecast that Russia's output will grow by around 4% a year in 2012-13, as increased capital expenditure improves existing plants and new projects.

Output growth in the Middle East has been sluggish

Although production capacity in the Gulf region has not been directly affected by unrest in parts of the Middle East and North Africa, some producers have diverted their supply of the metal to Asia in order to make up for any disruption to their orders from consumers in the Middle East. Dubai Aluminium (Dubal) and Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) continued to operate at full capacity during the bout of civil unrest earlier in the year. However, output growth in the Middle East was sluggish in the first seven months of 2011, owing primarily to a sharp contraction in Iranian output, and we now expect the region's output to fall by 0.4% in 2011.

Plans for new plants in the region continue to make progress. Although the Qatalum project in Qatar has faced delays, production capacity has reached 585,000 t/y (the target for the first phase of development), according to reports published at the end of September. Emal-Emirates Aluminium in Abu Dhabi (Dubai Aluminium and Mubadala Group) has completed its first phase of development, with a capacity of 750,000 tonnes, and will have close to a capacity of 1.5m t/y by completion of the second phase at end-2014, making it one of the biggest single-site smelters worldwide. We forecast that aluminium production growth will strengthen in 2012-13, growing by an annual average of over 10% in 2012-13 as new capacity comes on stream.

North American production is expected to continue to grow

We estimate strong growth in US production in 2011, following a year of flat growth in 2010 and a contraction of 35% in 2009. Growth will remain positive in 2012-13, with new capacity coming on stream. For example, Noranda Aluminium Holding has announced plans to expand production at its 263,000-t/y New Madrid plant by 6% in 2013. Canadian production fell by 2.2% in 2010, but output is expected to grow by 3.5% in 2011, and to expand by an annual average of 4.5% in 2012-13 as more capacity comes on stream. Rio Tinto has invested more than US$1bn to expand and modernise its operations in Saquenay-Lac-Saint-Jean Quebec and its Kitimat smelter in British Colombia.

Stocks and prices

Stocks of aluminium at the London Metal Exchange (LME) and the International Aluminium Institute (IAI) picked up in the first quarter of 2011, reaching nearly 6.2m tonnes at the end of March. They then dipped to 6m tonnes at the end of June, before edging up to 6.1m tonnes by end-August. LME stocks alone stood at 4.6m tonnes at the end of September, picking up from a six-month low at end-July. Excess stocks still weigh on the market. Indeed, we expect stocks to rise in 2011-13, as the market will be in oversupply. It is possible that stocks could be released if investors expect aluminium prices to fall or if rising interest rates increase the costs of financing the stocks, but there have been significant delays in accessing stocks owing to the concentration of holdings in LME-registered warehouses in Detroit, US. Although the market surplus is set to fall in the coming two years, the stock picture will remain healthy, with total reported market stocks providing more than 50 days' consumption. However, the market appears tighter than the stock picture suggests, owing to the fact that access to these warehoused stocks remains difficult.

Prices will hold up relatively well, despite market surpluses

Prices for aluminium have remained volatile in recent months, but they have held up relatively well compared with prices for other base metals. However, during the heavy sell-off in late September, aluminium prices dropped below US$2,200/tonne for the first time in 12 months. The recent selling activity has reflected deepening fears of a slowdown in the US economy as well as uncertainty about the fate of the euro zone and the increasing fragility of economic growth within the region. Meanwhile, the delays at LME warehouses have created concerns regarding metal availability, which, coupled with uncertainties over the market environment and prices, have been deterring investors from purchasing forward contracts. We now expect prices to average US$2,455/tonne in 2011 (down from US$2,486/tonne previously).

Physical demand for metals will be supported to some extent in the coming months by the recovery in manufacturing and by reconstruction work in Japan in the wake of the March 11th earthquake and tsunami, but deteriorating global economic conditions will undermine demand growth in general. Moreover, with the market continuing to produce surpluses and with energy prices set to ease over the next two years (aluminium production is a heavily energy-intensive process), aluminium prices are forecast to average US$2,404/tonne in 2012 and US$2,380/tonne in 2013.

Forum to chart out vision for industry

Gulf Construction: 01 November 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

FOLLOWING the stunning success of the inaugural Gulf Industry Forum in January 2010, top-level government, industry and business leaders will again converge in Bahrain early next year for the second forum in the series, which will be held on the opening day of the 2012 Gulf Industry Fair.

Organised by Bahrain-based Hilal Conferences & Exhibitions (HCE) in association with international event consultancy North Star Associates, the Gulf Industry Fair will be held from February 8 to 10 at the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre (BIECC) in Bahrain.

The forum will feature influential personalities from government, industry and business laying out their visions for the long-term economic prosperity of Bahrain and the Gulf region, under the theme 'The Future is Industry'.

The forum's format will also facilitate a frank and open exchange of information, views and opinions between speakers and all delegates, in an intellectual environment.

The forum, which will also be held at the BIECC, will discuss topics that include powering industrial development; developing SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises); market innovation; and creating industrial and manufacturing businesses.

Confirmed speakers include Dr Abdul Hussain bin Ali Mirza, Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Bahrain; Sheikh Daij Al Khalifa, chairman of Bahrain Logistics Zone; Khalid Al Qadeeri, CEO, Foulath Steel, and Mahmood Daylami, general secretary, Gulf Aluminium Council (GAC).

HCE conference director Ahmed Suleiman said: "The inaugural forum laid the foundations for HCE's vision to develop Bahrain as the 'Davos of the Gulf' by bringing together leading regional and global experts to share their views on industrialisation in an intellectual environment. Gulf Industry Forum provides a platform for constructive dialogue and ideas among decision-makers and industrialists in an environment of debate, unfettered by distractions of self-promotion."

Meanwhile, Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) will again be a Strategic Aluminium Partner for the Gulf Industry Fair following the renewal of a sponsorship agreement with HCE.

The agreement is the third successive year that Alba will provide top-level strategic support for the aluminium segment of the show.

HCE is a subsidiary of the Bahrain-based Al Hilal Group.



Alba partners Gulf Industry Fair

Gulf Industry: 01 November 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

Once again, Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) will be a strategic partner for the fourth Gulf Industry Fair to be staged in February by Hilal Conferences and Exhibitions (HCE).

Alba renewed its sponsorship agreement with HCE, a subsidiary of Bahrain-based Al Hilal Group, making it a strategic partner for the third successive year. Alba will provide top-level strategic support for the show's aluminium segment.

GIF 2012 will be a comprehensive industry-related fair taking place at the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre from February 7 to 9.It provides a highly targeted opportunity for any company or organisation from large-scale manufacturers to specialist equipment suppliers, distributors and agencies to market products or services aimed at the growing industrial sector of the region.

In addition to aluminium, the exhibition covers the key industrial segments of energy, steel and alloys, industrial processes and manufacturing, ports, logistics and free zones, training for industry and industrial security and safety.

Alba chairman Mahmood Al Kooheji underlined the importance of promoting the company and its strategic vision in providing competitive value-added products on a global basis.

Support for Bahrain

We are delighted to support Gulf Industry Fair and showcase our production capabilities and at the same time support Bahrain as a location for international investors. Alba has recently opened offices in Zurich and is set to expand further into the Far East," commented Al Kooheji.

Alba is one of the world's largest aluminium smelters and a major contributor to Bahrain's economy as a key industrial driver and major supporter for a cluster of downstream industries.

The company is maximising its competitiveness by optimising operational and organisational efficiencies, as well as expanding its production capacities to meet future global demand in Europe and the Far East.

Alba chief executive Laurent Schmitt said: "Alba continues to stimulate the growth of the downstream aluminium sector in Bahrain and was able to achieve 8.4 per cent growth in its sales for the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period of 2010."

Schmitt added: "Alba's strategic support for the exhibition affirms our commitment to Bahrain, the aluminium sector and the capabilities of the local and regional aluminium community."

GIF status endorsed
Al Hilal Group managing director Ronnie Middleton expressed delight that Alba had renewed its sponsorship support for Gulf Industry Fair 2012. "This is a clear endorsement of the show's growing status in the region and Alba's ongoing support for showpiece international events in Bahrain," said Middleton.

HCE managing director Jubran Abdulrahman in his comments stated:� "HCE is excited by Alba's vision of encouraging an 'Aluminium Village' cluster concept at the exhibition. This reflects Alba's key status in the global aluminium industry."�

Abdulrahman added: "HCE is proud to welcome companies of the status of Alba not only as a global player but also reflecting Bahrain's status as an industrial hub with our exhibition highly relevant to the region's industrial aspiration."

Forum to be held
GIF 2012 will be complemented by the 'Future is Industry' Forum, to be held at BIEC on February 8.

Present at the signing ceremony for the strategic Alba partnership were Al Hilal Group general manager Geoffrey Milne and HCE business development manager Ahmed Sulaiman.



German exports to Saudi up 20pc

Gulf Industry: 01 November 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

Representatives from 12 German smelter and roller plant technology specialists visited the Eastern Province recently as part of a business and trade mission to explore opportunities in the kingdom.

The three-day visit, organised by AHK Saudi Arabia (the official representative of German industry and commerce in Saudi Arabia and Yemen and part of the German Chambers of Commerce network), and co-financed by Germany'sMinistry of Economy and Technology, included a networking event at the Eastern Province Chamber of Commerce headquarters in Dammam, and site visits to Sabic affiliate Hadeed in Jubail and what will be one of the world's largest aluminium production complexes, the 400,000 tonnes per year Alcoa-Ma'aden joint venture currently under construction at Ras Az Zawr, north of Jubail.

Andreas Hergenroether, Riyadh-based head of AHK Saudi Arabia, which helps German companies enter the Saudi market and vice versa, told Gulf Industry on the sidelines of the networking event that the kingdom is now the biggest market for German exports in the Middle East and North Africa.

"Trade between Germany and Saudi Arabia rose 17 per cent in the first half of this year. In 2010, German exports to Saudi Arabia were valued at six billion euros, up 20 per cent year-on-year. Germany is currently the third largest exporter to Saudi Arabia after the US and China," he says. Meanwhile, AHK Saudi Arabia says the value of Saudi imports to Germany reached 262 million euros in the first five months of this year, up 29.3 per cent from the previous year.

Hergenroether says German companies are placing greater emphasis on more sustainable business models in the kingdom.���

"There is a growing need for technology and knowledge transfer in Saudi Arabia," he says, citing the efforts of German companies such as Siemens, EADS, Merck, Mercedes and MAN Trucks in this regard.

"We want to adapt our strategy to better meet the kingdom's needs as it diversifies its economy away from hydrocarbons and further into industries such as steel and metals," he adds.

For example SMS Siemag, whose regional headquarters is in Dubai and which has been supplying Hadeed for 30 years, is supplying a complete integrated hot and cold rolling complex, including the electrical and automation package, for the mammoth Alcoa-Ma'aden project.

"The timetable of delivery of the rolling mills to the project is 14 to 19 months from project start in August 2010 and the first coil is foreseen in November 2012," Hans-Ulrich Breuer, president of Dubai-based SMS Gulf FZE, told Gulf Industry. Meanwhile, Rami Al Ashqar, the Dubai-based business development manager at Bosch Rexroth, which supplies drive and control systems for clients including Hadeed, Emal, Dubal, Emirates Steel, Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), Qatalum and Qatar Steel, says the visit was a useful fact-finding mission.

"It is an opportunity to find out more about the Alcoa-Ma'aden project and identify further potential for Rexroth here," he says.

For Alfonso Stein, area sales manager Lechler GmbH, which manufactures some 20,000 different types of nozzle at sites in Germany, the UK, US, Hungary, India and China, a key� objective of the Saudi trip was to meet potential local representatives for the company.

"Our objective is to be closer to where steel is produced. We currently have six interested parties," he explains.

Bernd Laemmlein, executive officer at the Department of Foreign Trade at the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, who accompanied the delegation, told Gulf Industry that his Ministry was committed to supporting German small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

"Ninety five per cent of the German workforce is employed in SMEs. This is one reason why Germany has survived the global economic crisis so well � our companies are very flexible and are able to adapt their strategies during challenging times."

"In 2010, exports accounted for more than one third of Germany's GDP. One in three euros earned by Germany is earned abroad. Every fifth job in Germany depends on foreign trade," says Laemmlein.

According to AHK Saudi Arabia, more than 700 German companies are currently active in Saudi Arabia.

"Saudi consumers already have an awareness of the quality of German products, whether it is machinery for rolling plants, or cars, and there is particular interested in highly specialised, high tech products," says Laemmlein, reflecting on further bilateral business potential.



Industry under spotlight at forum

Gulf Industry: 01 November 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

A key forum that will discuss several crucial aspects related to industrial development in Bahrain and the rest of the Gulf region will be held on February 8, the second day of the 2012 Gulf Industry Fair in Bahrain. Gulf Industry Forum 2012 follows the huge success of the first Gulf Industry Forum in 2010.

Topics coming under the microscope at the forum include Powering Industrial Development, Developing Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), Market Innovation and Creating Industrial and Manufacturing Businesses.

The forum, to be held at the exhibition venue, Bahrain International Exhibition & Convention Centre (BIECC), will feature influential personalities from government, industry and business laying out their visions for the long-term economic prosperity of Bahrain and the Gulf region under the theme, 'The Future is Industry', said a statement issued by the organisers of the forum and exhibition, Hilal Conferences and Exhibitions (HCE).

It added that the forum format would facilitate a frank and open exchange of information, news and opinions between speakers and all delegates in an intellectual environment.�

Confirmed speakers for event
Confirmed speakers to date include Dr Abdul Hussain bin Ali Mirza, Bahrain's Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Sheikh Daij Al Khalifa, chairman of Bahrain Logistics Zone; Khalid Al Qadeeri, CEO, Foulath Steel, and Mahmood Daylami, general secretary, Gulf Aluminium Council (GAC).

The 2012 edition of the forum is held as GCC governments forge ahead with massive industrial projects and oil prices recover to more realistic levels. The future of industry in the region is sustainable and exciting, particularly for the manufacturing and services sectors, which are expected to witness outstanding growth opportunities in the next few years.

HCE's Davos vision
HCE conference director Ahmed Suleiman said: "The inaugural forum laid the foundations for HCE's vision to develop Bahrain as the 'Davos of the Gulf' by bringing together leading regional and global experts to share their views on industrialisation in an intellectual environment. Gulf Industry Forum provides a platform for constructive dialogue and ideas among key decision-makers and industrialists in an environment of debate, unfettered by distractions of self-promotion."

The second Gulf Industry Forum provides an additional opportunity for businessmen and industrialists from all over the region and internationally visiting the Gulf Industry Fair to exchange information, views and opinions about the future of industry in the Gulf.

The 2010 forum featured Dr Hassan Fakhro, Minister of Commerce and Industry, and Shaikh Daij in his capacity as chairman, General Organisation for Seaports (GOP), both from Bahrain.

Leading Saudi industrialist Dr Solaiman A Al Twaijri, managing director and CEO, Saudi Arabian Amiantit Company, delivered the entrepreneurs' view of 'The Future is Industry'.

Other speakers included Mahmood Al Kooheji, chairman of Aluminium Bahrain (Alba); Faisal Al Mahroos, chief executive, Bahrain Petroleum Company (Bapco); Praveen Kadle, managing director, Tata Capital; Nicholas Moy, chairman, Gryphen Investment Bank; and Ameet Shah, co-chairman and director, Astonfield Management Inc.

Al Hilal Group chairman Anwar Abdulrahman chaired the inaugural forum.

The forum is organised by Bahrain-based HCE in association with international event consultancy North Star Associates. It will be held alongside Gulf Industry Fair taking place from February 7 to 9, 2012.



 

Power struggle deepens divisions within Bahrain's royal family

                                                                                                                                                                                          

The Independent (London, England)
27 September 2011
                                                                                                                                                        

 

[What follows is the full text of the article.]

Senior Bahraini police officers suspended for torturing detainees are being swiftly reinstated in a sign of a growing struggle for power within the al-Khalifa royal family over the extent of the repression to be used against pro-democracy protesters.

In addition, 90 Jordanian officers, serving in the Bahraini police force and alleged to have mistreated prisoners, are having their contracts terminated and are being sent back to Jordan, opposition sources have told The Independent. They say it is not clear if this is to purge the security forces of the worst offenders or to get rid of witnesses to the wholesale use of torture when the government crushed the Arab Awakening movement in Bahrain in March.

Increasing divisions within the Sunni royal family are becoming more blatant as statements by King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa aimed at conciliating the majority Shia community are not followed up by action. Though he told state and private companies to reinstate the 2,500 employees sacked for taking part in pro-democracy protests, many have been unable to get their old jobs back.

The government's actions are also contradictory. Earlier this month it suspended several senior police officers, some of them members of the al-Khalifa ruling family, after they were accused of being implicated in torturing prisoners. One officer held an important position at Riffa police station, notorious for the use of torture, and another was a section chief of the CID. Demonstrations by Sunni in Riffa in favour of the suspended officers were followed by the immediate reinstatement of at least one of the men.

The hardliners in the royal family are led by the army commander, Khalifa bin Ahmed, and his brother, the Royal Court Minister, Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed. They were once at odds with the Prime Minister, Sheikh Khalifa bin Salman, who has held his job for 40 years since the British left in 1971, but they closed ranks when the Arab Awakening started in February in Bahrain, sparked by pro-democracy uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt.

The largely peaceful demonstrations centred on Pearl Square in the middle of the Bahraini capital Manama, but the government reacted as if it was facing an armed insurrection. A Saudi-led military force crossed the causeway from Saudi Arabia to Bahrain in the middle of March and a brutal crackdown followed with mass arrests and use of torture. Forensic experts brought in by an investigating commission verified that 63 detainees had been so severely mistreated that marks of torture were still visible three or four months later.

The hardliners in the royal family, supported by Saudi Arabia, have sought to marginalise Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad, seen as the most liberal royal. Before the March crackdown he sought to work out an agreement with al-Wifaq, the main opposition party. Since then he, along with King Hamad, has lost much of his authority.

The government crackdown was accompanied by the state media launching an anti-Shia campaign, claiming, without any evidence, that Iran had fomented armed rebellion against the al-Khalifa dynasty. Sectarian hatreds increased, leading to Sunni-run private companies and state organisations refusing to re-employ sacked Shia employees despite the King's order.

Mohammed Sadiq of Justice for Bahrain says that among those sacked who have not been re-employed are 24 Shia journalists, working on Al-Ayam newspaper, who were fired on 16 March. Some 402 workers at Aluminium Bahrain (almost all Shia) were sacked and only 50 have been re-employed though they have had to sign new employment contracts whereby they lose all annual leave and sickness benefits.

The continuing repression has not returned stability to Bahrain and is not likely to do so. There are nightly protests in Shia districts with the police using rubber bullets and stun grenades. Occasional deaths of protesters enrage the Shia community. Particular fury was caused by the death of Ali Jawad al-Sheikh, 14, apparently killed by a tear gas grenade fired at point-blank range.

THE RULING FAMILY " FROM LIBERAL VOICE TO HARDLINE COLONEL

Crown Prince Sheikh Salman bin Hamad al-Khalifa

Seen as the most liberal member of the Khalifa family, the Crown Prince had sought an agreement with opposition parties before protests began. Now, increasingly marginalised by hardliners in the royal family, he has lost much of his authority.

King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa

Conciliatory moves from the king aimed at the majority Shia community have not been followed up by action. Despite ordering state companies to reinstate employees sacked for taking part in protests, many have not yet been able to get their jobs back.

Colonel Sheikh Khalifa bin Ahmed al-Khalifa

As the leading hardliner within the royal family, the army commander has benefited from the support of Saudi Arabia, which sent a military force to help crush protests in March. He has seen his influence grow as the crackdown continues. RICHARD HALL

Middle East Annual Conference "a huge success"

Key figures from Middle East organisations gathered in May to share ideas on cutting workplace injury and ill health in the region.

More than 160 health and safety experts attended the IOSH Middle East Annual Conference in Dubai, at The Events Center, InterContinental Dubai Festival City. The event was a chance for professionals to share cutting-edge techniques in health and safety to improve standards over the coming year, as well as hear presentations from international speakers.

IOSH Middle East Branch chair, Jonathan Pickering, who was re-elected at the AGM, said: "The conference has been a huge success and it's been fantastic to have the support of the Abu Dhabi (AD) EHS Center and the Ministry of Labor's involvement, along with our other speakers.

"Our core aim is to reduce incidents of injury and ill health at work and, in pulling together key organisations across the Middle East, we feel that, collectively, we will be able to drive up standards in health and safety."

Dr Jaber Al Jaberi from the event's lead sponsor, AD EHS Center, spoke to delegates on behalf of HE Majid Al Mansouri, chair of both the Department of Municipal Affairs and the EHS Higher Committee.

He said: "I would like to thank IOSH and its partners for organising this conference, which has focused on the latest developments in occupational health and safety (OSH) in the region, and best practice in the field of OSH.

"To benefit from best practice, in December 2010, AD EHS Center signed a Letter of Agreement with IOSH, which has a long history in these issues and in working with government authorities. Areas of our cooperation include workshops, conferences and seminars, development of standards related to EHS practitioners, and awareness programmes."

During the day, health, satety and environment coordinator, Hesham Alawi Abdullah, from Aluminium Bahrain, spoke about how social responsibility helps companies achieve a sound reputation, while maintaining employees' attendance and productivity. Rebecca Kelly - a partner in dispute resolution for international law firm, Clyde & Co LLP - revealed that it is individuals, not companies, who are prosecuted for criminal acts.

IOSH president Steve Granger commented: "It was an honour to open the second Middle East Annual Conference and to meet so many fantastic people who are championing the health and safety cause in this region."

BAHRAIN : Alba officially converts into a public joint stock company

[What follows is the full text of the article.]

Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) converted into a public joint stock company. The company will now be known as Aluminium Bahrain B.S.C., to reflect the change in its legal status, and will herald the new direction that the company is taking in strengthening economic growth in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

His Excellency the Minister of Industry & Commerce, Dr, Hassan Fakhro presented the certificate announcing Alba's new official title to Alba's Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mahmood Hashim Al Kooheji and Alba's Chief Executive, Laurent Schmitt.

His Excellency the Minister Dr. Fakhro praised Alba's role as a national champion for industrial growth and infrastructural development as well as in playing a pivotal role in boosting the expansion of Bahrain's aluminium sector based on strategies outlined by the government.

He further stressed the importance of increased cooperation between the Ministry of Industry & Commerce and Alba in identifying investment opportunities in the Kingdom, and supporting the facilities being developed by the government in enhancing the investment climate for investors.

Commenting on the meeting with His Excellency the Minister of Industry & Commerce and the announcement of Alba's conversion into a joint stock company, Alba's Chairman Mahmood Hashim Al Kooheji said:

"We truly appreciate the sincere efforts of the Ministry of Industry & Commerce in playing a key role in expanding the economy, supporting the growth of industries in Bahrain, encouraging investment opportunities, and remaining a powerful influence for members of the private sector.

"Our meeting today with His Excellency the Minister to mark Alba's conversion into a public joint stock company celebrates the success of the political leadership's forward thinking economic policies and also underlines the company's commitment to support the Ministry in meeting its national goals and to remain a pillar of the economy.

Alba's decision to convert into a public joint stock company was the result of reviewing different strategic options to best position the company on the path for continuing and future success. Alba's IPO, which was launched recently, met with a positive response from both retail and institutional investors and the company will be listed in Bahrain and London Stock Exchange.
