Disillusioned over the delay in discussion on proposals to minimise economic crisis and its impact on people, Shura panel chief resigned

HASAN SHABAN AL LAWATI

hassan@timesofoman.com MUSCAT: Tawfiq Al Lawati, the man tasked with advising the government on finding urgent solutions to Oman’s oil crisis, has revealed why he walked away from the job.

Tawfiq headed up a Shura special committee assigned the task of addressing the economic crisis and its effect on people in an effort to come up with proposals to help.

His committee’s recommendations were delayed on Thursday when the council broke mid-session and deferred the hearing until November.

“Deferring the meeting of a supposedly urgent committee to the next parliament session was not giving enough urgency to the crisis and that is why I decided to step down,” Tawfiq Al Lawati, head of the Shura’s special committee, said.

The committee had 12 recommendations to discuss, but while they were discussing the seventh, there was a controversy over passing the entire report last Thursday or deferring it to the next calendar year for the parliament.

He said the recommendation was about cutting water and electricity subsidies to all businesses

rial monthly salary drawee should be given direct financial subsidy and support to their families, the Shura panel had recommended

except for residential buildings for Omanis.

However, the proposal suggested that water and electricity subsidies should not be lifted for expatriates even in residential buildings.

The committee’s report emphasised that attention should be paid to families with incomes of less than OMR600 a month.

“The report suggested withdrawing subsidy from everybody and give direct financial subsidy and support to families with OMR600 or less monthly income,” Al Lawati said.

Al Lawati said that experts agree that flat subsidies are an unfair method, as there are people who don’t need subsidies and the government should give the privilege only to those who “deserve it”. >A2

BIGGEST FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTOR

Brexit needs to be monitored: CBO Staff Reporter MUSCAT: Oman needs to closely monitor developments in the United Kingdom post-Brexit as it is the Sultanate’s biggest foreign direct investor, the Central Bank of Oman has warned.

The UK currently accounts for 46 per cent of Oman’s Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and may struggle in the coming years after voters there decided to leave the European Union, according to the central bank’s annual report.

“The British economy may register lower economic growth due to a dislocation of trade and business. Britain is one of the topmost investors in Oman and the

authorities have to closely monitor the development as it unfolds,” the CBO said in its report, issued on Monday.

UK market share is growing in Oman and currently worth around £4.5 billion annually. Exports from the UK to Oman are up 10 per cent year-on-year, according to statistics for May, 2016.

Experts said that Oman, like any other country, needs to keep a watch on the situation.

“First we will have to see what impact Brexit will have on the European Union. Only then can we gauge the impact on the Sultanate economy,” Muscat-based financial analyst, Jose Chacko said.>A2

MUSCAT: With the advent of the Blessed Eid-Al-Fitr happy days, His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said has exchanged cables of greetings with leaders of the Arab and Islamic countries.

In his cables, His Majesty the Sultan has expressed his sincere greetings along with his best wishes of good health, happiness and a long life to them and the people of their countries further progress, welfare and prosperity, praying to Allah the Almighty for the return of this and similar occasions on all Muslims with blessings and wellbeing.

His Majesty exchanged cables of greetings with the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), His Majesty King Hamad bin Issa Al Khalifa of Bahrain and His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Emir of Qatar. >A2

MUSCAT: United Arab Emirates has once again opened its doors to tourists from Oman wanting to enter the country without an e-visa, with some saying that they have to pay OMR35 at the OmanUAE border for a visa.

“Visa-on-arrival facility is now available and you have to pay 100 Dirhams (OMR10.4) more for it,” said a frequent traveller to Dubai.

Qamar Riaz, a resident of Oman who travelled to the UAE a few days ago, however, said that he had paid only OMR25 for the visa.

“I was given a visa-on-arrival but the authorities said that it would be the last time and that he will need to apply for an e-visa from the next time on,” he said.

Recently, new sign boards were installed at the Oman-UAE road border, informing that visa-onarrival requests for residents of GCC will be processed electroni-

cally and that the manual process has been discontinued. “But I suppose they again opened up for Eid holidays,” tourists said.

Incidentally, UAE’s Ministry of Interior had announced on Sunday that the e-visa will be applicable from July 15.

“Starting from July 15, UAE will start implementing e-visa services and the visa-on-arrival will be completely stopped at all airports for expats living in the GCC,” it said on its website. >A2

Water supply in Muscat A1 Austerity steps parts to be hit: PAEW in Sultanate < FROM

Staff Reporter MUSCAT: Water supply will be hit in several parts of the Muscat governorates on Friday and Saturday, it has been announced.

In a statement, the Public Authority for Electricity and Water (PAEW) has announced that in order to implement strategic projects from July 8 that will continue for 48 hours, water supply will be affected in Al Amerat, Muscat, Muttrah and Wattayah areas of the Muscat Governorate.

“The authority would like to apologise for any shortage in wa-

ter supply that may take place, and requests all subscribers to take every necessary precaution and continue rationing the consumption,” PAEW said.

A number of projects are expected to be implemented during the Eid-Al-Fitr holidays, according to Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Naimi, director general of Operations. “The reason to select Eid-Al-Fitr holidays for implementing these projects is because water consumption during the festive period is low as most of the residents go out to spend their holidays,” Al Naimi said.

Khalid Al Jashmi, acting general manager of Export Credit Guarantee Agency of Oman (ECGAO) says that he fears “indirect” repercussions.

“For example, our leading business partners in certain areas may want to buy stuff from UK since the pound rate has gone down and things will be a little cheaper. Then it will start hampering us,” he had said.

The CBO’s assertion comes as Oman reels under economic distress, with the government launching austerity measures

earlier this year.

The CBO said that the 2016 outlook will be based on various factors, including the movement in oil prices, materialisation of rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve, volatility in global financial markets and the exit of Britain from the European Union.

The report also said after continuous growth in total revenues between 2009 and 2014, Oman recorded an overall fiscal deficit of OMR4,831.4 million in 2015.

He added that expatriates should pay for unsubsidised electricity bill.

“Such system is implemented in neighbouring countries,” he added.

He suggests the same should apply for oil subsidies.

“These actions will reflect positively on the Omani citizen and the future generation in the long term,” he added.

It is worth mentioning that six of the committee’s recommendations were approved by Majlis Al Shura before stopping at number seven and postponing the meeting to the next parliament session, which means that the meeting can be hold either in November 2016 or June 2017.

“It can even be postponed further,” Al Lawati commented.

Talking to the Times of Oman, Al Lawati broke his silence saying that the Shura Council started this committee in March giving it a specific task and mandate to deliver by June.

“This is a very sensitive and important issue to the society.

It can’t be delayed and take any more time to come up with actions or suggestion,” Al Lawati said, adding that he felt that his committee has fulfilled its requirements and that the Shura Council should have continued with the report’s discussion.

He said the delay showed that the issue is not being taken seriously.

“Since the members decided to extend the time of the committee, my decision was to step down and let other people come up with

new ideas. Maybe we will have better suggestions and solutions,” he added.

The Portland State University graduate resigned on Thursday from his position as a member and head of the oil price effects on society committee.

Commenting on the controversial proposal by the Shura members to merge a number of ministries and other government bodies, Al Lawati said that the idea is still on the table.

However, he says the government should decide which authorities must be merged.

“Majlis Al Shura follows the government. It is not a research centre and the concerned institutions should work on implementing the suggestion,” Tawfiq concluded.

Hashtag to show Sultanate’s beauty and traditions on Eid

MUSCAT: Women rushing to beauty salons ahead of Eid-AlFitr have been warned against using black henna, with authorities and dermatologists saying the “chemical-loaded” beauty product damages the skin and could even harm one’s kidney.

During Eid, Omani women are known to decorate various parts of the body, such as hands, nails and feet, using black henna in designs, which is mostly procured from Sudan.

“Black henna is a permanent dye. The Omani women use it to make it appear brighter and darker… sometimes the manufacturers use some newspaper ink too…

There are many patients I am seeing for blisters, such as bubbles and burnt allergies in their hands,” Dr. Ashok Thomas Mathai, specialist dermatologist at KIMS hospital told the Times of Oman (TOO).

He said, “If one continues using henna, it can get absorbed systematically and can damage the kidney. There are such possibilities. It’s due to the chemicals present in it.”

lashes, and eyebrows. It’s proven that it’s harmful to the skin,” the advisory warned.

Mathai said the disease does not spread.

“It’s a patterned allergy. It’s called henna-related allergic contact dermatitis. It appears according in a floral pattern. There are cases where it has left permanent scars and marks, which are hard to get rid of. It depends on your skin type. Fair-skinned people get this allergy quickly,” the dermatologist said.

Mathai said it’s hard to say what ingredients are included in the composition of the black henna “because sometimes it comes in a paste format.” “And people blindly use it,” he said.

He further said such instances mostly come to light during festivals and parties attended by Omani women and are mostly healed with steroid creams and

antibiotics, but warned that UV light could also trigger a reaction.

Dr Aliya, a dermatologist at Star Care hospital in Muscat said that such patients should avoid sunlight and UV rays.

“If they are exposed to the high sun and UV light, it will affect… causing blistering and sun burns,” she told TOO. Tested henna Other health experts suggested that tested henna should be used instead of randomly selected brands.

“Henna could be tested for two days. One can apply two dots of it at the elbow and two behind the ear and check after 24 hours if the skin is sensitive,” Dr Vandana, skin care specialist at the Apollo Hospital told TOO. In case of blisters and swelling, she said patients should keep their hands in ice cold water or apply refrigerated calamine lotion.

“Women are even using henna in the nails, which comes with fungal infections. These days I see five to seven patients a day for fungal infections,” she said.

Dr Vandana further pointed out that black henna comes with para-henylenediamine (or PPD)—a chemical substance that is widely used as permanent hair dye.

“This chemical is made from coal tar that includes benzene, naphthalene, phenol, aniline. Its contact with the skin should be avoided,” she said.

Henna has silver nitrate, carmine, pyrogallol, and disperse orange dye, which she said has been found to cause allergic reactions and chronic inflammatory reactions.

‘Ban on street food vendors not lifted’ HASAN SHABAN AL LAWATI

hassan@timesofoman.com MUSCAT: Though the public might have noticed that vendors selling mishkak, a popular grilled food, have returned to Muscat’s streets, the municipality has reiterated that the ban on street vendors “has not been lifted”.

Since September 2015, Muscat Municipality has enforced a ban on the preparation and street sales of grilled meat. The decision has been largely influenced by the lack of food hygiene among street vendors, and was also enforced to protect the health and safety of consumers and residents.

However, residents of the capital questioned whether the ban had been lifted when vendors were spotted in different locations of Muscat governorate.

Talking to the Times of Oman, a street vendor in Shatti Al Qurum said municipality officials gave them a notice period for the month of Ramadan. “We have no idea what will happen after Ramadan,” said the Omani seller.

Two other vendors in the Wilayat of Al Seeb echoed their fellow mishkak seller, saying the municipality stopped issuing violation letters to vendors at the beginning of the Holy Month.

But municipality officials said the ban is still in effect and all “illegal” vendors will be fined, if caught by authorities.

“Nothing has been changed in the law. The ban is still a ban during Ramadan, and throughout the year,” the official told Times of Oman, while adding that the decision was only taken in response to complaints from the public.

than 5,000 images last,” the man who launched the hashtag told the Times of Oman, adding that he is expecting greater engagement from the social media community this year.

Last year, it was listed as the highest trending international hashtag on Twitter.

The hashtag, according to its inventor, aims to promote the beauty of Oman, especially during the Khareef (monsoon) season, when many locals flock to Salalah to enjoy its greenery and cool weather.

Moreover, Omanis can utilise the hashtag to showcase their traditions and different Eid rituals. The man behind the hashtag, who declined to be named, also owns two popular Twitter accounts @hashtag_oman and @zaajel_news, and together, these two have drawn more than 230,000 followers.

“The secret behind attracting followers is posting few, but quality posts,” he said, adding that so far he has not accepted any advertisement offers.

All roads lead to Salalah as Eid holidays kick in Staff Reporter MUSCAT: Tour operators are reaping gold as travellers are rushing to book buses for the western region of Salalah in the hope of spending Eid-Al-Fitr holidays amidst the annual Khareef (monsoon) season.

Most of the bus operators, the Times of Oman (TOO) spoke to, said the buses for Eid-Al-Fitr holidays (July 5 to 9) have been booked since last week.

“The (availability of ) tickets are now possible only after Eid,” an official from Al Ghazal Transport told TOO on Sunday, adding, “We are trying to make sure there isn’t a shortage of transport by adding more buses to the fleet.

But all seats are booked.”

On Sunday, travellers hoping to holiday in Salalah were lined outside the transport offices hoping to get a lucky ticket during the Eid holidays.

Inside the Mwasalat office at Ruwi, many dejected passengers had to leave the premises after officials announced that seats are booked for all Eid holidays.

“I wanted to visit Salalah on Eid evening. It looks like people are travelling on the first Eid too,” said Vinod Kumar, who wanted to enjoy the holidays with his family this year.

Tourist season Meanwhile, Mwasalat—a government-owned company—announced that it will increase daily trips to Salalah during the Salalah Tourism Festival, start-

ing from Friday (July 8) with special fare offers.

“We will increase the trips from three to five a day. The company will provide a total of 225 seats a day, adding about 7,000 seats a month,” an official statement said Sunday.

It further said daily service during the Khareef season will be from Muscat to Salalah and Salalah to Muscat at different times of the day. The first shuttle will leave at 7:00 am and the last one at 7:00 pm both ways.

“The company will offer special promotional fares during the festival, with free tickets for children under the age of two, who are accompanied by their parents, and a special discount for group reservation,” it said. The fare details and timetable can be accessed on the company’s website and its offices in the Sultanate.

“The company will be using as many of its new fleet for the aforementioned service, characterised by luxury and comfort, with the availability of a restroom on-board,” it said.

Finally, Dar Al Atta’a Association, would love to thank all the parties, companies and individuals that assisted during their Ramadan initiatives, and wishes everyone a happy Eid-Al-Fitr.

MUSCAT: Oman will witness a surge in the production of municipal waste in crucial areas during Eid-Al-Fitr celebrations, forcing authorities to increase the waste collection frequency, officials at a key waste management body said.

“We’re expecting an increase in the quantities of waste that will be generated during the Eid period,” Murtadha Al Lawati, head of Corporate Affairs at Be’ah, Oman’s waste management body, told the Times of Oman.

He said Be’ah has plans to deal with the anticipated increase in waste in the South Batinah and South Sharqiyah governorates, where Be’ah has “almost” completed a sector takeover from the Ministry of Regional Municipalities and Water Resources.

“The plan includes increasing the frequency of collection during the last few days of Ramadan and the first two days of Eid,” the official said.

Be’ah officials said they will be placing additional large metallic skips in different strategic locations throughout the concerned

governorates and wilayats (provinces) to provide additional collection capacity in areas “that we anticipate having a higher waste generation rate.”

Animal slaughter waste “Furthermore, Be’ah’s transfer stations and landfill facilities in both governorates will be open for longer hours during the Eid period to meet the expected increase in the collected quantities of waste,” Al Lawati said.

Civic bodies and health experts have been regularly urging food industries, retailers, caterers and

consumers to reduce food waste.

More food is wasted during the Holy Month of Ramadan than in any other month, with hotels, resorts and households being the major contributors. Wastefulness continues to touch new levels in the Sultanate. Food (26 per cent) tops the list of municipal waste composition that ends up in landfill sites, according to official data.

Oman has nearly 317 dumpsites and four landfills. The Sultanate produced about 1.85 million tonnes of municipal waste in 2015, which is projected to reach 2.04 tonnes by 2040.

Derived from the Arabic term “to cry out”, du’a are direct communication with Allah. These are conversational prayers that are performed in addition to the five daily salat prayers, to ask for Allah’s help, guidance, or a direct answer to a request, or as a form of worship. There are many beautiful du’a that can be recited that were written by Imams or found in the Sunnah, but these prayers can be anything, so long as they are sincere and come directly from the heart of the one offering them.

The literal meaning of Zakat is ‘to cleanse’ or ‘purification’. In the Islamic faith, Zakat means purifying your wealth for the will of Allah; to acknowledge that everything we own belongs to Allah and to work towards the betterment of the Muslim Ummah. According to Islamic regulations, Zakat is 2.5% of one year’s total cumulative wealth.

Zakat is not always financial, and can include everything from volunteering your time to giving an encouraging word, but when it comes to financial donations to the less fortunate, it can be difficult to decide which causes speak most to your heart. Here we will highlight worthy causes to help you decide.

First bombing in years to attempt to target foreigners, attacker set off device after two security men approached

RIYADH: A suicide bomber was killed and two people were wounded in a blast near the US consulate in Saudi Arabia’s second city of Jeddah early on Monday, state TV said, the first bombing in years to attempt to target foreigners in the kingdom.

The attacker parked his car outside a hospital opposite the consulate at about 2.15am and detonated his device after being approached by two security men, killing him and lightly wounding them, it said, quoting a security spokesman.

Three further blasts rocked the

A video sent by the witness showed police taking cover behind vehicles and covering their ears before a blast.

In a statement, the US consulate said there were no casualties or injuries among its staff, adding that it and the US embassy were in contact with Saudi authorities investigating the incident.

ISRAEL-TURKEY DEAL

Gaza gets first Turkish aid shipment GAZA: Turkish aid shipments arrived in the Gaza Strip via Israel on Monday, a week after Israel and Turkey announced they would end a six-year rupture and normalise ties.

About 11,000 tonnes of cargo, including clothing, toys and medicines destined for the Palestinian coastal territory, were ferried to the Israeli port of Ashdod by a Turkish ship that docked on Sunday.

Under the supervision of the Turkish Red Crescent Society, the first of about 500 trucks carrying the aid entered the Gaza Strip, territory controlled by Hamas, through Israel’s Kerem Shalom crossing, witnesses said.

marines stormed a Turkish ship in May 2010 challenging Israel’s naval blockade of the Gaza Strip and killed 10 Turkish activists during fighting on board.

Last week’s rare rapprochement in the divided Middle East was driven by the prospect of lu-

crative Mediterranean gas deals as well as mutual concern over growing security risks, and included an Israeli pledge to enable Turkey to send aid to Gaza.

“This is the first (aid) ship after the Turkish and the Israeli governments’ agreement,” said Kerem Kinik, president of the Turkish Red Crescent, who travelled to Gaza to supervise the distribution of the goods.

He said Turkey would provide “continuous, regular humanitarian assistance” for the territory. Last week, some 3,400 trucks carrying 107,500 tonnes of goods, including medical supplies, electronic devices, consumer goods and construction material, entered the Gaza Strip via Israel, according to Israeli authorities. — Reuters

IS has carried out a series of bombing and shooting attacks in Saudi Arabia since mid-2014 that have killed scores of people.

Iraq bombing toll rises to 150 BAGHDAD: The death toll from a suicide bombing in a Baghdad shopping district has risen to over 150, fueling calls for security forces to crack down on IS sleeper cells blamed for one of the worst ever single bombings in Iraq.

Numbers rose as bodies were recovered from the rubble in the Karrada area of Baghdad, where a refrigerator truck packed with ex-

plosives blew up on Saturday night when people were out celebrating the holy month of Ramadan.

The toll in Karrada stood at 151 killed and 200 wounded by midday on Monday, according to police and medical sources. Rescuers and families were still looking for 35 missing people.

Congress mum over reports about Priyanka to be star campaigner in UP NEW DELHI: Congress on Monday remained tight lipped over reports that Priyanka Gandhi would be its star campaigner in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh and also on the issue of elevation of Rahul Gandhi as the party chief.

“Whenever it happens, you will know”, party spokesman Jairam Ramesh told reporters quoting AICC General Secretary Ghulam Nabi Azad when asked about reports that Priyanka would lead the campaign in UP and address as many as 150 meetings.

Dismissed suggestions He, however, dismissed suggestions that Priyanka taking centre stage in campaigning in Uttar Pradesh showed poorly on the

leadership of Rahul.

Azad, who is in charge of party affairs in Uttar Pradesh, has already favoured Priyanka becoming pro-active in campaigning all over the state.

On Saturday, Uttar Pradesh Congress spokesperson Satya Dev Tripathi had said that Priyanka will step out of her family pocket boroughs of Amethi and Rae Bareli to campaign for the party all over the state.

Poll strategist Prashant Kishor, who has been roped in by the Congress to help and assist the party in Uttar Pradesh, has reportedly suggested that if Rahul declines to lead the party in the state, Priyanka by all means should.

Azad has also expressed the pos-

sibility of the party naming a chief ministerial candidate in UP. Political wilderness Congress is in political wilderness in UP for the past more than 26 years which saw emergence of Mandal and Mandir issues and the rise of Bahujan Samaj Party.

Ramesh, who had earlier said that Rahul Gandhi would take over as party chief this year, on Monday steered clear of questions on when the Congress vice president would be elevated.

“Rahul has come back from his visit abroad and will be busy in Monsoon session of Parliament beginning July 18 and also on the campaign for implementation of the forest rights Act”, Ramesh

merely said.

Only last month, Ramesh had said in an interview “Rahul Gandhi is de facto Congress chief but he should become de jure” and make the party battle ready without waiting for anti-incumbency to build up against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Ramesh had insisted that the Congress vice president has “a lot of ideas on organisational restructuring and I hope he gets into position very soon. He is de facto, but he should become de jure”.

Congress has witnessed reverses after reverses in elections since it lost power in the Lok Sabha polls in May 2014 and in which it posted its worst ever performance of 44 seats in the House of 543. - PTI

Cabinet reshuffle today with eye on UP polls This will be the second expansion of the Cabinet after Narendra Modi came to power in May, 2014

NEW DELHI: An expansion and reshuffle of the Modi government will take place on Tuesday with a Dalit tilt in the exercise possibly eyeing the Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh next year.

Prominent among the names doing the rounds for induction include Anupriya Patel, an OBC Lok Sabha member belonging to ally Apna Dal, and a number of BJP leaders, who met party chief Amit Shah on Monday.

The BJP names include S. S. Ahluwalia (Lok Sabha), Vijay Goel (Rajya Sabha), P. P. Chaudhary, a Dalit MP from Bikaner in Rajasthan.

Sources said Ajay Tamta, a Dalit Lok Sabha member from

Uttarakhand, which will go to the polls with Uttar Pradesh early next year, Purushottam Rupala, a Rajya Sabha member from Gujarat, Ramdas Athawale, a RPI MP from Maharashtra (Rajya Sabha), Mahendra Nath Pandey, an MP from UP, are among the likely inclusions. Krishan Raj, another BJP Dalit MP from UP, can also make the cut. Some ministers can also be dropped, party sources said adding top ministers are unlikely to be disturbed.

Frank Noronha, Principal spokesperson of the government,

tweeted on Monday that the cabinet expansion will take place on Tuesday at 11am.

There has been talk of the expansion for the past several weeks amid speculation that Prime Minister Narendra Modi could induct new faces from Uttar Pradesh with an eye on polls.

There is also a vacancy in the Council of Ministers after Sports Minister Sarbananda Sonowal became the chief minister of Assam. This will be the second expansion of the Cabinet after Modi came to power in May, 2014. The

first expansion had occurred in November 2014.

There are currently 64 Union ministers, including the Prime Minister, and there can be a maximum of 82 of them under a constitutional bar.

Meanwhile, Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray on Monday said BJP central leadership has not held in any discussion with him on the Union Cabinet expansion and that his party will not stand on anybody’s doors seeking favours.

“People from various political parties are joining the Shiv Sena. I have been busy attending to them and thus have not got the time to discuss the Cabinet expansion.

One thing is clear. The Sena will never stand helplessly on anybody’s doors asking for anything,” Thackeray said here.

“First they (the BJP) were offering us Minister of State, then said we will get a Cabinet berth. We say whatever we get, we should get with respect. We will not beg for anything. There have been no discussions with Delhi on Cabinet expansion,” he said.

Thackeray said getting ministerial berths was a secondary issue for him and that he would put forward his views if discussions were to take place. - PTI

ECONOMY

Jaitley expects better growth outlook for sweet spot India RAIPUR: Calling India a “sweet spot” in the subdued global economy, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Monday said indication of “good rains” will further boost the country’s growth momentum.

“This time, it looks like rains are going to be good and India can grow very well. There are signs (for that),” he said addressing the first national minerals & mining conclave here.

India clocked 7.6 per cent growth rate in 2015-16 when there was a global slowdown, and deficient rainfall for two years in a row, he said. Jaitley said India is a “sweet spot” in the global economy and “growth outlook looks much better with indications of good rains this year”.

The finance minister added that at a time when the global economy is slow, India is an example with its higher growth rate.

“When the going is good everybody grows. But, at such a time (global downturn) becoming the fastest growing economy is an

Arun Jaitley

example in itself. It shows that we are ready and capable to deal with such changes and perform,” he noted.

On the impact of Britain exiting the European Union, the finance minister said, “We were the least impacted. People feared that currency and stock markets will crash, but we saw the impact for just one day.” This indicates the robustness of the Indian economy and displays its capacity to handle

changes, Jaitley said.

On the minerals and mining sector in the country, the minister said that government’s initiatives in the sector are showing results and the industry is slowly coming out of the rut. “This is the beginning and then too it is showing growth. Global growth is weak and when the global growth comes back to good levels then this experiment will also grow further,” he added.

The finance minister said that globally, including in India, the commodities market has witnessed a rough time with prices hitting rock bottom. “Resourcebased economies globally had a rough time and prices are suppressed. But this will not go on for long. It will change.” - PTI

Ex-religious affairs minister to spend Eid in Adiala jail ISLAMABAD: The former federal minister for religious affairs Hamid Saeed Kazmi will spend Eid with inmates in Adiala jail as the Islamabad High Court (IHC) dismissed his bail application on Monday.

IHC Chief Justice Muhammad Anwar Khan Kasi dismissed the former minister’s bail plea terming it devoid of merits. “No illegality could be observed at this stage on the surface of the impugned judgment,” he stated.

On Wednesday, Islamabad High Court reserved a verdict on Kazmi’s bail plea, wherein he had sought bail in view of the approaching Eid. In the plea, Kazmi’s counsel Latif Khosa Kazmi had contended that the former minister had no role in hiring buildings for the pilgrims and there was no charge against him of receiving commission or kickbacks.

On June 3, a special court hearing the case sentenced former religious affairs minister to 16 years in prison. His two ministry lieutenants were also jailed for massive irregularities during Haj operations between 2009 and 2012.

Hamid Saeed Kazmi

Judge Malik Nazir Ahmad had also imposed a fine of around Rs147 million on each convict, who will have to serve additional two years in jail on failure to pay the penalty. The scandal had surfaced in 2010 after then science and technology minister Azam Khan Swati, accused Kazmi of corruption in Haj affairs.

The men were indicted for fraud, cheating, misuse of authority and causing losses to the exchequer and the public at large.

The men were also accused of hiring a substandard building on an exorbitant rent for housing pilgrims in Mecca and receiving kickbacks as well. — Express Tribune

Dutch company acquires majority stake in Engro Foods for over $448m Engro Corporation currently controls approximately 87 per cent shareholding in Engro Foods while the general public owns the remaining outstanding shares

KARACHI: Engro Corporation has signed an agreement with a Netherlands-based dairy company for the sale of up to 51 per cent shareholding in Engro Foods at an estimated price of $448 million, a securities filing said on Monday.

Engro Corporation currently controls approximately 87 per cent

shareholding in Engro Foods while the general public owns the remaining outstanding shares. The deal will take place at Rs120 per share, which reflects a discount of about 26 per cent to Engro Foods’ current share price of Rs163.

The majority stake in Engro Foods will be bought by a legal entity in which Dutch dairy cooperative FrieslandCampina will hold approximately 80 per cent shares.

International Finance Corporation (IFC) and Dutch development bank FMO will hold the remaining shares in the legal entity.

The share price of Engro Corporation rose 1.4 per cent to Rs337.6

on Monday while the stock of Engro Foods shed 5 per cent to close at Rs155.17 per share.

Engro Corporation said in a statement it will stay on as a “significant partner and shareholder” under the new company structure.

The stake of Engro Corporation in Engro Foods will likely be around 36 per cent post-transaction.

The Dutch company is required under the local takeover laws to make an attempt to purchase at least half of the shareholding currently owned by the general public.

The provision is supposed to ensure that ordinary shareholders also benefit in case the sponsors of

a listed company sell their stake in a major deal.

This means general investors will also have a chance to avail the public offer extended by FrieslandCampina to sell at least half of their 13 per cent current holding in Engro Foods.

Any number of shares that ordinary shareholders decide to sell to FrieslandCampina will be adjusted against the shareholding that the Dutch company is supposed to acquire from Engro Corporation.

“With the tender price likely to be lower than the prevailing market price, we don’t expect minority shareholders to sell their

shares,” said Topline Securities in a research note, adding that Engro Foods is the most actively traded consumer firm in Pakistan and provides minority shareholders with long-term growth potential.

It said the deal at a discount of about 26 per cent was not surprising, as the market already expected a lower price. “The main reason for the Dawood Group (sponsors of Engro Corporation) to sell the stake at a discounted price is to gain FrieslandCampina’s dairy expertise and introduce new products,” it said. Engro Foods’ dairy segment consists of only three products that contrib-

ute around 90% to the company’s net sales, it added.

In a statement on Monday, FrieslandCampina said it expects to benefit from the conversion of the Pakistani market from loose to packaged dairy consumption.

At present, less than 10 per cent of tradable milk consumed in Pakistan is processed and offered in packages, it said. The conversion is expected to accelerate in the near future as a result of the growing middle-income class, a desire for higher quality milk as well as the increasing urbanisation, it added.

Topline Securities said Engro Corporation will generate cash of around Rs47 billion, part of which will most likely be invested in energy-related projects with a higher rate of return.

Engro Foods contributed more than a quarter in the corporation’s revenues last year.

Therefore, its sale will result in a decline of around Rs4 per share in the holding company’s earnings, as per the workings of Topline Securities. — Express Tribune

CONFUCIUS

Don’t mess with India’s Central Bank

ALBERT R. HUNT

For a half century, presidential candidates have routinely claimed that there are no bigger stakes in the election than the next appointments to the Supreme Court.

This year, for the first time since 1968, the dire warnings could actually have an important effect on voting behaviour.

T

he first repercussions of the impending departure of Raghuram Rajan from the Reserve Bank of India could now be visible — and it looks like those who argued the independence of India’s central bank was under threat may have been right. Rajan declared last month that he would not be seeking the expected extension of his term -- a move widely seen as being forced on him by the Narendra Modi-led government in New Delhi, which had publicly disagreed with several of his decisions and statements as governor. This was troubling. The government appeared to be uncomfortable with its inability, under Rajan, to direct the central bank’s actions. The implications for the RBI’s institutional stability and strength — and for the credibility of India as an investment destination — weren’t good.

Some of Rajan’s latest speeches suggest the government is close to knocking a further hole in the RBI’s authority. The governor has spoken out against a suggestion, which is gathering force in New Delhi, to use surplus funds with the RBI — its “contingent reserve,” set aside for emergencies —to recapitalize stressed state-owned banks.

The government’s motivations are understandable. It has committed itself to a pretty stringent path of fiscal consolidation over the next few years, one that would bring the fiscal deficit down to three percent of gross domestic product. However it has to do this at the same time as Indian banks —in particular, the state-controlled banks that comprise 70 per cent of the sector — are dealing with a full-blown bad loans crisis. Estimates of bad loans vary widely, but may total anywhere between six and 12 per cent of GDP. The RBI itself estimates they may hit 8.5 per cent of GDP by next March. Recapitalizing the banks is urgent – they need about $140 billion in capital by 2019, according to Fitch Ratings — but the government has set aside very little money to do so as yet. And soon after the next federal budget is presented at the end of February 2017, Modi’s government will probably go into election mode. Polls are due in 2017 in the crucial northern state of Uttar Pradesh, and the next general elections will be just two years away at that point. It’s obviously tempting to use the RBI’s funds instead of finding money from the general budget. Such a move would reverse years of institutional evolution at the central bank.

The RBI used to own significant stakes in some ma-

jor Indian banks -- a conflict of interest for the central bank, which regulates the banking sector. Even though a government-appointed committee recommended as early as 1998 that these shares be sold, it wasn’t till 2010 that the sale actually took place. Rajan’s fear is that the current administration wants to reverse this process — and he’s right, doing so would be disastrous.

Other bad ideas for plundering the RBI’s reserves have been floated before. In 2004, some ministers wanted to tap $5 billion a year from the surplus fund to finance India’s infrastructure-building programme. Fortunately, the RBI — with some timely help from the International Monetary Fund — managed to hold off the government, greatly enhancing its reputation for independence. (It’s worth noting that in this, it did better than the US Federal Reserve, which wasn’t able to stave off a law passed by the US Congress last December that dipped into its surplus to pay for US highways.)

An attempt to use the RBI’s rainy-day cash pile would not just dent the central bank’s independence, but also the credibility of India’s already shaky fiscal arithmetic. It would make accounting for the exact amount that the government was spending impossible, as well as have unpredictable effects on inflation. It would thus vastly set back the RBI’s efforts under Rajan to establish a reputation as an inflation-fighting central bank.

Worryingly, the government’s apparent willingness to compromise RBI independence seems in keeping with several of its recent decisions. The controversial departure of Rajan is one such. The purpose was presumably to replace him with a choice with whom the government is more comfortable, perhaps its Chief Economic Adviser Arvind Subramanian, who first suggested dipping into RBI funds in his annual economic survey earlier this year. The fact that the government has chosen to ignore the obvious means of recapitalizing banks is also revealing. The state-owned banking sector shouldn’t be bailed out using RBI funds, of course -- but not by using tax money either. Instead, it should be guided towards privatization, and funds for recapitalizing the best banks should be raised from the markets. But movement on this is slow.

Modi himself doesn’t seem too sympathetic to privatisation. India’s Prime Minister came into office promising “maximum governance, minimum government.” That’s what both the RBI and the banking sector need, not renewed state control. - Bloomberg View

WORLD Anti-EU champion Farage resigns after Brexit vote I have never been, and I have never wanted to be, a career politician, said leader of the right-wing UK Independence Party

LONDON: The leader of the insurgent right-wing UK Independence Party said on Monday he was stepping down after realising his ambition to win a vote for Britain to leave the EU, the latest twist in a dramatic reshaping of the nation’s politics.

The departure of brash former commodities trader Nigel Farage would sideline one of the most outspoken and effective anti-EU campaigners from the debate about how to sever Britain’s ties with the other 27 countries in the bloc. But it could also give his UKIP party - which under Britain’s winner-takes-all election system won just one seat in

parliament last year despite capturing 12.6 per cent of the vote - an opportunity to select a less polarising figure and take on the mainstream in a radically altered political environment.

The June 23 ‘Brexit’ vote to leave the EU has thrown both the two main political parties into disarray, with the ruling Conservatives seeking a replacement for Prime Minister David Cameron and lawmakers from the main opposition Labour Party voting to withdraw confidence in leader Jeremy Corbyn. “I have never been, and I have never wanted to

be, a career politician. My aim in being in politics was to get Britain out of the European Union,” Farage told reporters. “During the referendum campaign, I said ‘I want my country back’. What I’m saying today, is, ‘I want my life back,’ and it begins right now.”

The acrimonious leadership battles in the main political parties have added to uncertainty at a time when Britain is embarking on its biggest constitutional change since the dissolution of its empire in the decades after World War Two. The government, which failed

to convince voters that a Leave vote would wreck the economy, is now racing to reduce the damage. George Osborne, the finance minister, has abandoned his target of balancing the budget within four years and floated the idea on Sunday of a quick cut in corporate tax to 15 per cent from 20 per cent.

Labour accused him of trying to turn Britain into an offshore tax haven. Britain has no firm plan for how it wants to proceed in negotiations with the EU over a future relationship. European leaders say London must choose between continuing to allow free movement of EU citizens, or expulsion from the common market.

This week will see the Conservatives start the process of whittling down the candidates to succeed Cameron, who has said he will leave it to his successor to withdraw from the EU. Theresa May, a party stalwart who has run the law-and-order portfolio in the cabinet for six years, is the favourite to succeed Cameron despite having campaigned to remain in the EU. According to bookmakers, her strongest rival is Andrea Leadsom, 53, a junior minister who was unknown to most Britons before the referendum campaign but was widely judged to have mounted an

effective case for ‘Leave’ in an eveof-vote televised debate seen by millions.

If the betting odds are correct, Britain is on course to get its first woman prime minister since Margaret Thatcher left office in 1990. Leadsom, setting out her leadership credentials on Monday, said talks over Britain’s departure from the EU should be as short as possible to avoid prolonged uncertainty. She offered reassurance to EU nationals currently living in Britain: “I commit today to guaranteeing the rights of our EU friends who’ve already come here to live and work. We must give them certainty. There is no way they will be bargaining chips in our negotiations.”

She and May are opposed by three other candidates: work and pensions minister Stephen Crabb, former defence minister Liam Fox and Justice Secretary Michael Gove. Gove, a Leave campaigner, caused high political drama last week by turning against his ally, former London mayor Boris Johnson, and driving him from the race.

CORRUPTION CASE

China jails ex-aide to Hu Jintao for life BEIJING: A Chinese court on Monday jailed a former top aide to retired president Hu Jintao for life after finding him guilty of taking bribes, illegally obtaining state secrets and abuse of power during a secret trial in which his wife testified against him.

The verdict in the case, which the ruling Communist Party has said caused major damage to its image, brings to a close another chapter in President Xi Jinping’s sweeping campaign against corruption which he began more than three years ago.

The party announced its investigation into the one-time aide to Hu, Ling Jihua, in December 2014.

Ling had been demoted in September 2012 from a ministerial-level job, months after his son was killed in a crash involving a luxury sports car. The court in the northern city of Tianjin, close to Beijing, held the case behind closed doors on June 7, according to a statement reported by the official Xinhua news agency.

“Ling Jihua took an extremely large amount of bribes. He obtained a large number of state secrets and the crimes were very serious. He abused his power and caused a terrible impact upon society,” Xinhua said. Ling took more than $11.6 million in bribes personally and through his family, the court said. — Reuters

Grand Slam title on track, overpowering Russian 13th seed Svetlana Kuznetsova in a 7-5, 6-0

LONDON: Former champion Roger Federer and World No. 1 Serena Williams had an easy outing at the Wimbledon on yet another rainy day on Monday.

Roger Federer felled high-flying Steve Johnson, knocking the wind out of the powerhouse with a 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 win in the fourth round, while Serena Williams kept her bid for a record-equalling 22nd Grand Slam title on track, overpowering Russian 13th seed Svetlana Kuznetsova in a 7-5, 6-0.

Earlier, despite considerable pre-match hype about Johnson, fresh from victory at the Nottingham grasscourt event, there was to be no Independence Day party for the burly American, as Federer showed more than enough to suggest he remains on track for a record eighth Wimbledon men’s singles crown. In the quarterfinals, Federer will play Croatian ninth seed Marin Cilic who advanced after his opponent, Japanese fifth seed Kei Nishikori, retired injured while trailing 6-1 5-1.

T came as a huge relief to me that the French, finally freed of the pressure of being the host team, played superbly and with a 5-2 victory, ousted Iceland, the new darlings of European football. Nothing against Iceland’s quality.

But the prospect of two rank outsiders in Iceland and Wales — who meet Portugal in the semifinals — both reaching the semifinal stage would have been a bit too much. It was enough of a triumph for Iceland to have sent the desolate England team packing.

In Germany versus France we have a second, worthy semi-final. Both teams would deserve to reach the final. I regard Germany as the favourites in this duel. I say this even though in the penalty shootout between Germany and the tough Italians it took 16 players to shoot from the spot, and even though among the Germans, who have this reputation as being the masters in penaltyshooting, such greats as Thomas Mueller, Mesut Ozil and Bastian Schweinsteiger failed with their shots.

The final 7-6 quarterfinal victory of Germany over Italy - after Germany won the penalty shoot-out 6-5 - was a match with defects, but one which could scarcely be topped in terms of tension. Italy might have had a chance to go through if Daniele de Rossi, the brains of their midfield, had not had to miss the match due to injury Germany paid a high price for its victory.

Backfielder Mats Hummels, who I saw as the best player against Italy, is now barred after a second yellow-card warning. And in any case centre-forward Mario Gomez is injured and won’t be able to play against France, and Sami Khedira and Schweinsteiger are also questionable due to their injuries.

The loss of Hummels and Gomez hurts the team more than a possible loss of Khedira and Schweinsteiger. If those two are scratched, it would not be a problem for Germany. The young backfielder Joshua Kimmich could play the Number 6 defensive midfield position. But German coach Joachim Loew also has Julian Weigl of Borussia Dortmund, a young man who so far has not played a minute but who is not afraid of the big moment and has a lot of self-confidence. I would play him.

With Gomez, the German game has been a lot better in this tournament. With his powerful, improved play-

ing style he will be sorely missed up front. In his False 9 position could come Mario Goetze or Thomas Mueller or even - as crazy as it sounds - the old-timer Lukas Podolski. This may seem surprising coming from me, since he has never completely convinced me.

But he has such a great rapport with coach Loew and with the German fans that he would play his guts out.

The French have meanwhile shown that they are well-staffed with Antoine Griezmann, Oliver Giroud and Dimitri Payet up front.

And midfielder Paul Pogba has woken up. Even though Iceland did again manage two goals. The French fourman back line is vulnerable and this could pose huge opportunities for Germany.

But then again, the French may now profit from their looseness.

Portugal’s chances of reaching the final are naturally huge. They are better organised now than in the preliminary round. And this even though Cristiano Ronaldo does not play as flashy.

But now that he has stopped all the gesturing — something that I greatly welcome — and is willing to help out the defence, the Portuguese are better organised.

Then there is the huge presence of 18-year-old Renato Sanches who is playing like a veteran and is willing to take responsibility. It’s the reason that Bayern Munich has paid Benfica Lisbon 35 million euros for him, in what looks like money well-invested.

And, as said, he is worth his weight in gold for Portugal, since Ronaldo apparently has some physical problems after his long season. But giving Ronaldo his due, his two goals against Hungary in the group stage kept the Portuguese alive.

Wales has more quality than their English neighbours. They have played an extremely strong tournament, they are physically imposing, and I don’t mean just Gareth Bale, who towers over everyone else on the field. The Portuguese will have to muster up a top performance in order to prevail over Wales. In any event I am really looking forward to the duel between Real Madrid teammates Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale.

And, I’m hoping for a final between Germany and Portugal. - dpa

CRICKET

Coming days will decide how India shape up as Test unit: Kohli BENGALURU: With Indian cricket team geared up for their busiest Test season comprising 17 five-day games, skipper Virat Kohli aptly stated that the coming days will be an indicator as to how they have shaped up as a Test unit.

“This is the perfect situation and opportunity to challenge and assess ourselves as a Test team.

These months will define how we play as a Test team in coming years,” Kohli said at the pre-departure media conference ahead of Indian team’s tour of the West Indies.

Hailing Anil Kumble’s appointment as the team’s head coach, the Indian skipper said that now they have a man, who can also tell them how to win Test matches abroad.

“It is a huge boost for us that Anil bhai is our coach. Bowlers will feel more support due to his presence.

Especially as he is someone who has

won so many matches for the country and knows what it requires to win matches both India and abroad,” Kohli said praising Kumble.

The skipper also pointed out how Kumble has brought a refreshing change to the team bonding sessions. “Yesterday, he arranged a team activity (cricketers had a Drum Circle session with Vasundhara Das’s group) and it was fun. It was a surprise for us.

Often due to the rigours of international cricket, we forget about team bonding session.

“These sessions helps in build camaraderie which shows on field.

Even Dhoni bhai, who came for the meeting (Roadmap) joined us and enjoyed the session,” Kohli said mentioning that the limited overs captain also gave his inputs on the tour ahead. Glovesman Wriddhiman Saha’s batting has been

under scanner and KL Rahul is in the squad as the reserve keeper but Kohli made it clear that it would be the Bengal lad, who firmly remains the first-choice behind the stumps.

Meanwhile, India’s new head coach Anil Kumble admires Test captain Virat Kohli’s aggression

and will not try to curb his natural instincts. The Delhi cricketer was initially perceived as another brash personality from the streets of a city long accused of encouraging aggression in its youth, having often been involved in wars of words with opponents on the field.

Former India captain Kumble’s appointment as coach was welcomed by many who expect the former leg-spinner to be a calming presence in a team led by an expressive captain. “I love his aggression,” Kumble told reporters sitting alongside Kohli. “I was no

different, I was also aggressive, very different in terms of the way we probably came across on the field. I will be the last person to curb someone’s natural instincts,” Kumble added.

“But we all know how important it is to be ambassadors of India and to be a part of the Indian cricket team. That everybody understands.

We will ensure that there is a thin line and everybody knows that.”

India will play four Tests against West Indies and after returning from the Caribbean the world’s second-ranked side are set for a busy season at home when they will play 13 Test matches, eight ODIs and three T20 internationals.

Kumble, India’s most successful bowler, capturing 619 wickets in 132 Tests and 337 in 271 One-day Internationals, has just overseen a six-day training camp in Bengaluru. - Reuters, PTI

significantly in order to contain deterioration in the budget balance, said the CBO report.

Times News Service MUSCAT: Oman’s economy contracted in 2015 after five years of robust growth, primarily on account of the marked drop in crude oil prices in the international market and partly due to the global slowdown, according to Central Bank of Oman’s (CBO’s) annual report. Despite increased oil production, net exports suffered a setback last year due to low oil prices. Prudent fiscal consolidation measures reduced government expenditure significantly in order to contain deterioration in the budget balance, said the report.

Consequently, nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contracted 14.1 per cent in 2015, re-

flecting a reduction in two key constituents of aggregate demand—rationalisation in government expenditure and a slowdown in exports as against a robust average growth of 11.3 per cent during the five-year period from 2010 to 2014.

Employment opportunities The CBO report stated that the creation of adequate employment opportunities for Omanis has been one of the major macro-economic objectives of the government in the recent years. In 2015, employment of Omanis in the private sector increased by 6.1 per cent.

Inflationary pressures in Oman abated significantly in 2015, mainly due to a decline in international commodity prices, reduced public spending in Oman and a notable appreciation in the US dollar in real effective terms since mid2014. Annual inflation measured by movement in the average Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the Sultanate decelerated to 0.1 per cent in 2015, compared with an average of 2.5 per cent during the previous five years. The recent be-

haviour of prices in Oman owes its origin to both demand and supply factors emanating from domestic, as well as external sources.

From the demand side, contraction in the nominal GDP in Oman in 2015 was mainly due to the sharp fall in crude oil prices in the global markets and fiscal policies pursued by the government.

Among the supply side’s factors, a marked drop in global food and metal prices, coupled with the decline in import prices in 2015 facilitated making goods cheaper in Oman. The oil and gas sector continued to play a dominant role in the economy of Oman in 2015.

Crude oil production, subdued in 2014, turned around by 4 per cent to 358 million barrels in 2015.

The production of natural gas also increased by 5.6 per cent to 39,801 million cubic metres in 2015, compared with 37,682 million cubic metres in 2014.

Crude oil exports in terms of volume rose 5.4 per cent to 308 million barrels in 2015, compared with 292 million barrels in the previous year. However, the average price realisation for Omani

crude oil declined by 45.3 per cent to $56.5 per barrel in 2015 from $103.2 per barrel in 2014 due to ample supply, and a lack of aggregate demand in emerging market economies.

Share of oil and gas As a result, the share of oil and gas in terms of major parameters of the economy witnessed a decline in 2015. Despite a decline in shares, oil and gas together accounted for 33.9 per cent of the GDP, 78.7 per cent of government revenues, and 59.4 per cent of total merchandise exports in 2015.

Overall fiscal balance of Oman came under pressure in 2015, mainly due to a drop in revenues, owing to the decline in average crude oil price and a general slowdown in the economy. After continuous growth in total revenues during the 2009 to 2014 period, Oman recorded a revenue decline of 35.7 per cent to OMR9,067.5 million in 2015.

Fiscal consolidation measures reined in government expenditure (by 9.7 per cent to OMR13,698.9 million) significantly in order to

MUSCAT: Oman’s Vision 2020 and successive FiveYear Development Plans are pursuing the strategy of economic diversification, improving the business climate to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and a greater role for the private sector, according to the Central Bank of Oman’s (CBO’s) annual report.

The central bank further said that during the previous 10-year period, the share of the non-hydrocarbon sector increased from 16 per cent to 41 per cent of merchandise exports, while the share of non-oil revenue in public revenue grew from 14 per cent to 22 per cent.

With a view to finance the fiscal deficit, the authorities have planned to utilise fiscal buffers, raise loans from the

contain the deterioration in the budget balance. Consequently, the overall fiscal deficit stood at OMR4631.4 million in 2015.

Given the low inflationary environment and moderate non-hydrocarbon growth, CBO continued with its accommodative monetary policy stance. With domestic liquidity conditions still remaining comfortable, monetary aggregates in Oman expanded, with some moderation during 2015.

Despite the challenges facing the economy in the current environment of low oil prices, the

UNITED SECURITIES REPORT

MUSCAT: The Oman cement sector is not facing an oversupply glut due to the presence of huge project pipeline, and infrastructure projects. Since 2009, it has been witnessed that there is always a gap between the consumption and demand in Oman, which was historically met by imports, according to an industry update.

This indicates that the demand for cement in the local market is higher than the production capacity of domestic producers. At present, the total demand for cement is around eight million metric tonnes (MT) where around 43 per cent of demand is met by import substitution. The demand for cement in the local market is likely to remain intact owing to announced infrastructure and construction projects, United Securities said in its latest report.

Oman’s cement industry is dominated by two companies with Oman Cement incorporated in 1977, and Raysut Cement, started in 1981, combining for 57 per cent of the local market share.

Most of Oman’s cement consumption occurs in the north which is considered to be where construction activities are the highest in the country.

This demand is mostly met by Oman Cement, which is strategically located in northern Oman while Raysut Cement covers the southern region.

banking sector remains robust, supporting economic diversification initiatives and credit needs of the growing young population. The risk-based supervision of banks, implementation of Basel accords, the development of modern payment and settlement systems have led to financial stability. The overall capital adequacy ratio in relation to risk weighted assets of banks remained comfortable at 16.1 per cent at the end of 2015, which was considerably higher than the minimum regulatory requirement.

domestic market without crowding out credit to the private sector and access external markets by the sovereign and government related entities. The successful raising of $1billion in 2015 and of $2.5 billion in June 2016 underscores strong investor appetites, the report said.

Over the years, the government of Oman has implemented sound macroeconomic policies, resulting in strong growth, moderate inflation and a stable financial system.

On the external sector front, authorities are planning to implement measures in the mediumterm to bolster earnings from tourism, strengthen the manufacturing sector, and ratify a new investment law to attract foreign investment to Oman.

Being located in southern Oman, Raysut has the distinctive logistical advantage of exporting cement to neighboring regions such as Yemen and East Africa.

Raysut Cement acquired Pioneer Cement of UAE at the end of December 2010 and is now catering to Northern Oman directly competing with Oman Cement.

According to the research report Oman Cement is adding a new cement grinding capacity that is expect to be operational by the end of May 2016 and also ramping up the modernisation of its kiln 2 which is expected to be completed by the end of fourth quarter of 2016.

Not to be left behind, Raysut cement is also expanding its domestic facilities by constructing a terminal in Duqm Port to cater to demand arising out of the region.

Post the operational and capacity expansion; we expect the historical supply and demand gap to contract.

Dumping from UAE Underpriced cement imports from UAE producers have weighed on realisation level of local cement companies since 2010.

As a result, domestic cement prices have fallen by 3.1 per cent at an eight-year CAGR from OMR30.9 per MT in 2008 to 24.8 in 2015.

UAE’s cement industry has suffered from overcapacity since the economic crises and consequently, has become a net exporter of

cement where nearly 60 per cent of its production is exported to neighbouring countries which includes Oman.

Structural over-capacity The structural over-capacity in the UAE is such that it would take more than a turn-around in the UAE construction market to engineer a sustainable improvement in pricing. The report estimates that only by 2018 would the oversupply situation in UAE ease where local production can be absorbed in their own market, due to the commencement of various mega projects in anticipation of Dubai expo 2020.

Recent announcements by authorities’ point towards an imminent clampdown on overloaded trucks, which would increase operating costs for UAE cement

companies thereby offering little room for them to further, lower their prices.

This would effectively provide a base for realisation to bottom out. However, we expect the current price gap between domestic and imported cement to continue which would add pressure on local cement companies to revise their selling prices in order to be competitive in the local market.

The government’s recent decision to double the price of gas, which is used as fuel for kiln firing, presents a great challenge for cement producers as far as production cost is concerned. Gas price supplied to the manufacturing industries has been hiked 100 per cent starting January 1, 2015 with annual escalation of 3 per cent thereafter.

The new cost of natural gas di-

rectly increases the cost of production which the company may not be able to pass on to customers completely effectively depressing gross margins. As per both companies’ disclosure, the hike in the gas price was estimated to increase cost of production by a total of OMR11.1 million (Oman Cement: OMR6.6 million, Raysut Cement: OMR4.5 million) for the overall sector.

As of 2015, energy cost has increased to comprise 41 per cent of the overall cost of sales for cement companies from 30 per cent in 2014. The companies had proposed to use coal (discovered in Sharqiyah region) as a cheaper alternative but the government’s strategy is not to use it at present.

This year, Oman had proposed to raise the electricity and water charges as well as increase in corporate tax from 12 per cent to 15 per cent.

Increase in other cost such as higher corporate tax along with higher electricity and water charges would add pressure on the sector margin in the near term but expects to be mitigated in the long run through higher operational efficiencies along with the absence of expensive imports.

The report expects utilisation rates forecast to improve steadily: Raysut and Oman Cement together combine for clinker and cement capacity of 6.5 million MT (metric ton) and 8.1million MT per annum respectively.

Latest auction of Oman crude oil concludes Times News Service MUSCAT: The Dubai Mercantile Exchange (DME) announced on Monday the success of its latest auction with major global players participating in a bid to buy 1,000,000 barrels of Oman crude oil. The auction was conducted on July 1 through the DME Auction platform, the first spot commodity auction system in the Middle East.

Oman’s Ministry of Oil and Gas has included DME Auctions in their available options to sell spot cargos of Oman Blend.

Transparency This move maintains a high level of transparency in the marketing of Oman’s crude oil exports and offers customers a fair and equal opportunity to access the Sultanate’s spot exports. Owain Johnson, Managing Director, DME said: “The Oman government believes in transparency as a key factor for a successful and healthy relationship with its oil customers. Oman has adopted exchange-based pricing since 2007 and selected DME Auctions for its spot exports in 2015. Today’s auction was another success and justifies the trust given to the platform by the government and industry participants.”

DME is the premier international energy futures and commodities exchange in the Middle East.

MARKET Real estate market hit hard

by Britain’s exit referendum investment volumes reached £10.7 billion in the first three months of 2016, a 28 percent fall versus the same period a year ago and its lowest quarter since the second quarter of 2013, according to June research from real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield.

Aftershocks of Britain’s decision to leave EU have hit the property sector over the past week, with a foreign bank freezing loans for buyers and some investors pulling out of commercial deals

LONDON: Aftershocks of Britain’s decision to leave the European Union have hit the property sector over the past week, with a foreign bank freezing loans for buyers and some investors pulling out of commercial deals.

Some foreigners, however, are already making the most of the drop in the pound post-Brexit to snap up what they see as residential bargains.

London property has long been a magnet for foreign investors, be it extravagant homes or iconic commercial real estate, and prices in the capital have sky-rocketed.

Key to overseas investors will be whether the fall in the value of sterling is attractive enough to offset the political vacuum, expected economic slowdown and questions over market access that have resulted from Britain’s vote to leave the EU. Singapore’s United Overseas

Bank temporarily halted mortgage loans for London properties.

Other Asian banks also flagged potential investment risks. For British investors, the uncertainty may be prohibitive, even though property is widely considered more profitable than other safe assets, given supply shortages.

Purchase delayed “A number of deals I know have gone down or certainly been delayed,” Paul Firth, head of real estate at law firm Irwin Mitchell said. “Everyone is taking a pause at the moment just to wait until a new normal is established.”

In one case, the purchase of a regional shopping centre by a United States private equity fund worth more than £30 million ($40 million) was delayed after Brexit

28%

is the fall in British commercial real estate investment volumes, which reached £10.7 billion in the first three months of 2016, compared to the same

for at least a couple of months pending the market settling down.

Another deal his firm was working on involved a French vendor of high-end luxury goods who put on hold its new flagship London store after Britain’s decision to leave the EU, he said.

He said a number of their “significant investment deals”, worth above £30 million each, had stalled.

The deals involved mainly UK investors but also some foreigners.

One deal the firm was working on worth more than £40 million had gone through since Brexit.

Britain’s June 23 vote to leave the EU has already caused the government to collapse and deeply divided the country.

Bank of England governor Mark Carney said on Thursday the economy would probably need more stimulus over the summer given that the outlook had deteriorated. He also said commercial real estate transactions had halved since last year’s peak and that activity in residential real estate had slowed sharply.

British commercial real estate

Investors’ gains There were also signs that the fallout from Brexit was benefiting professional investors such as private funds at the expense of homebuyers, who may struggle along with the economy.

Before the referendum, officials said the economy could tip into recession and house prices could fall 10 to 18 per cent if Britain voted to leave the European Union. Economists before the vote said they expected house prices to be flat next year and then pick up again if Britain chose to leave.

David Galman, sales director at Galliard Homes, said professional investors had already contacted him offering to buy any units end-users may seek to sell in the Skyline residential development it launched in June just outside London.

Galliard Homes, London’s second largest house-builder, had offered buyers get out clauses for the 89 off-plan units ranging from 200,000 to 250,000 pounds in their development in Slough, west of London.

The buyers had the option to withdraw their offers if they were unhappy with the outcome of the EU vote. - Reuters

ASSETS SALES

Abu Dhabi’s Al Jaber to improve $1.6b debt deal DUBAI: Al Jaber Group, a family owned business in Abu Dhabi with interests spanning construction, engineering and shipping, has almost doubled the amount of cash it intends to raise from asset sales under a new debt repayment plan it offered to creditors, two people with knowledge of the matter said.

The group plans to raise Dh5.2 billion ($1.4 billion) by selling assets including real estate and shares by March 2018, compared to the Dh2.75 billion proposed earlier, said the people, asking not to be identified because the information is private. Al Jaber has already raised Dh1.3 billion, the company said in its presentation to creditors last week, according to the people.

Repaying debt The plan includes raising Dh1.5 billion by the end of the year, Dh600 million of which will be used to repay debt and for working capital, the people said.

It will use an additional Dh650 million to repay creditors who want to exit at about 50 cents to dollar, and the maturity of the remaining debt would be extended to 2024, they said.

Al Jaber is among several businesses in the United Arab Emirates that sought to restructure liabilities after the global financial crisis in 2008 led to a crash in property prices. The company signed a debt-restructuring agreement with banks in June 2014 after being in negotiations for about four years, people familiar with the matter said at the time.

National Bank of Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, First Gulf Bank and Union National Bank, which hold 50 per cent of Al Jaber’s $1.6 billion debt, agreed to the new debt plan. - Bloomberg News

Global gold holdings expand by over 500 metric tonnes SINGAPORE: Global gold holdings have expanded by more than 500 metric tonnes since bottoming in January in a signal of investors’ rising concern about slowing growth, a United States Federal Reserve that’s probably on hold and the ructions caused by Britain’s vote to quit the European Union.

Assets in bullion-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) rose 6.6 tonnes to 1,959.1 tonnes on Friday, up from 1,458.1 tonnes on January 6, according to data.

The holdings increased 37 tonnes last week as investors reacted to the UK’s vote, and swelled in five months out of six in the first half.

Bullion prices climbed to the highest level in more than two years in June as investors absorbed the implications of the UK result, adding to a rally that’s been driven by the Fed’s hesitation in raising borrowing costs and the spread of negative rates in Europe

and Japan. Banks including Goldman Sachs raised their outlooks for gold after the vote, while yields on 10- and 30-year US Treasuries have touched record lows.

“The low-yield environment globally, and increased volatility in the financial markets as a result of a number of key geopolitical developments, have increased the appeal of gold as an investment and safe-haven asset respectively,” said Vyanne Lai, an economist at National Australia Bank.

The push-back in the markets’ expectations for the timeline of further US rate hikes suggests further upward potential for prices, she said.

Yellow metal rallies Gold for immediate delivery traded 0.7 per cent higher at $1,351.15 an ounce in Singapore, up 27 per cent this year, according to generic pricing. It rallied to $1,358.54 on

June 24, the highest level since March 2014. Spot silver has also jumped. Gold holdings in exchange traded funds (ETFs), which peaked at 2,632.5 tonnes in 2012 as central banks ramped up stimulus to resuscitate growth after the global financial crisis, have now rebounded to the highest since August 2013.

ETFs trade like shares, and allow investors to buy and sell bullion without taking physical delivery.

Goldman raised its three-, six and 12-month bullion targets by $100 an ounce last month, citing a flight to safety by investors, while Singapore-based OverseaChinese Banking has flagged the potential for bullion at $1,400.

Gold will probably extend gains as Britain’s vote adds to the case for the Fed pausing on rates.

“Brexit has created all sorts of fear and loathing across markets,” Commonwealth Bank of Australia said in a note. - Bloomberg News

There’s More to Pizza Than Pepperoni Topping Ideas for a Delicious and Healthy Treat

D

o you always order a pizza with only lot of cheese or chicken as topping? Are you a diehard fan of eating and enjoying pizza? Want to go creative with pizza toppings for enjoying a mouthwatering yet healthy treat? Let us explore some best topping ideas for enjoying a yummy yet healthy pizza:

1

Stewed Peppers Adding stewed peppers will prove to be great on pizza as topping, which will enhance the taste and look. The stewed pepper is made with slender, slightly piquant peppers that are stirred into scrambled eggs. This topping will make your pizza tastier and yummier.

2

Arugula Salad Many people say that eating pizza is not good for health. Pizza

lovers can shut the mouth of all those people who say that pizza is not good for health by adding arugula salad on the top of your pizza. This will turn the pizza into something greater and really delicious.

3

Olives and Onions To experience and enjoy the real earthy and strong taste, you can consider in adding sweet onions and black olives as toppings on the pizza.

This will help you to make a simple yet amazingly tastier pizza, which you can eat in your lunch or dinner.

4

Mushroom and Pesto First spread the pesto over the pizza and then top it with mushrooms, tomatoes and some seasoning. Bake it for 15-20 minutes to enjoy a delicious pizza treat.

5

Artichoke and Ricotta Spread the ricotta over the

pizza and then scatter on it the artichokes, olives and meat. Do not forget to season them before baking.

Once the pizza is ready, you can enjoy a mouthwatering treat.

6

Beef, Basil, Cherry Tomatoes and Mozzarella Fry minced beef with onion and garlic in olive oil over a high heat for around five minutes until it turns brown. Then top your pizza with the fried mixture, cherry tomatoes and mozzarella (season the topping) and bake it. Once ready serve the pizza hot by sprinkling some basil leaves.

Pizzas are a great treat for every food lover, which can be enjoyed in breakfast, lunch, and dinner by simply playing with its toppings. It is in your hand to go with a heavy, light or healthy pizza topping, which will help you to serve your family or friends a lip smacking and delicious treat.

Discover a summer unlike any other at Grand Hotel Tremezzo and Lake Como Summer is a season best experienced amid invigorating fresh air, a picturesque natural landscape and a dramatic setting rich in history and style – characteristics that combine with finesse at Grand Hotel Tremezzo on Italy’s Lake Como. Nestled against the stately Grigne Mountains and directly on the shores of the lake itself, the mix of nature at its best alongside the hotel’s impeccable standards and world-class offerings make it the ideal choice for a summer holiday – especially as Grand Hotel Tremezzo that celebrates its 106th anniversary on July 9th with a grand party. Grand Hotel Tremezzo has just launched two delectable new dining experiences to keep repeat guests and gourmands satiated with something new for their palates: T-Pizza Gourmet Party (Friday, Saturday, Monday from 7:00-10:00pm) presents a selection of pizzas with a tasting menu among atmospheric candles and music from a music concierge; Sunset Beach Dinners (7:00-10:30pm) also feature a special soundtrack, while guests dine at a romantically lit T Beach with punch paired with freshly grilled food from the “Onfalos”, a circular platform and focal point for gourmet indulgence. It’s also easier to take a bit of the hotel experience home with the launch of T Shop Boutique, filled with books, towels and the hotel’s signature fragrance. During this celebratory period, “Gusto Italiano” offers an “Italian taste” of the lakeside retreat in a vintage automobile. Behind the wheel of a sleek 1970s Alfa Romeo Duetto Spider, the panoramic roads along the lake’s shores can be explored in a style fitting of the hotel’s lively past. — lifestyle@timesofoman.com

HOW TO HANDLE LONG COOKING RECIPES

I

f you are a beginner who is just trying out new recipes every day in the kitchen, then you must be getting flummoxed now and then when a recipe simply does not perform the way it should or when you actually forget to carry out certain important steps in spite of going through the recipe twice or more. It is true that cooking recipes can often be complicated, but long cooking recipes are generally detailed and simple, provided you get the hang of handling them. Some tips and tricks that will help you handle all kinds of cooking recipes and turn cooking into a success-

ful and enjoyable affair for you are listed here.

Start with Simple Recipes: You might argue that this is besides the point when all you want to know is handle long recipes, but you need to remember that just like in every other discipline, with cooking too, we need to go one step at a time. Jumping too high up will often have you landing flat on your face. So if you just started cooking tomorrow, then do not start making lasagna that requires three homemade sauces, four cheeses, and two types of meat. Start with plain old pasta. As you get the hang of smaller, simpler recipes,

you will easily be able to handle long and complicated ones naturally within some time.

Go Through The Recipes A Number Of Times: Just reading through a recipe once, specially a new one is a recipe for disaster. In order to get a recipe right, you will actually need to go through it at least two to three times in order to understand the steps properly.

And of course, you will also need to keep going through it time and again while cooking.

Assemble All The Ingredients Before You Start: You might have seen your parents assembling their ingredi-

ents after they put the pot on the stove, but even though it looks really easy to do, it can be tough for a newbie. If you do not want to mess up your recipe, go through the list of ingredients and assemble them before you start cooking.

If you are using vegetables or meats, make sure that they are chopped in the right way and that the meat is washed and duly prepared to be tossed into the pan before you put the pan on the fire.

Use The Right Proportions: We often see chefs on TV and in real life tossing in ingredients by the fistful only to deliver gourmet delicacies

within minutes and the carefully listed proportions in a recipe start feeling redundant.

Trust me, they are not. Most beginners have a long way to go before they can start doing this, because experienced cooks do not ignore the proportions given in a recipe, but rather they know how much a fistful is due to years of experience. So whenever you try out a recipe, try and do justice to it by using all the ingredients in the exact amounts provided. Of course you can scale it all if you are cooking for a larger or smaller number of people, but following proportions is mandatory if you want your recipes to turn out well. -Courtesy of Artipot
