 Emir issues law regulating sea ports – HH the Emir Sheikh Tamim
bin Hamad Al-Thani has issued Law No 17 for 2015 pertaining to
modifications of Law No 29 for 1966 on the regulation of maritime
ports in Qatar. The law stipulates that goods and items kept in
storehouses at ports or their yards for a month from the date of
the shipment’s arrival, without being removed or re-exported, can
be sold in a public auction based on regulations decided by HE the
Minister of Transport. The port management may sell foodstuff or
goods that may rot or get devalued, without waiting for the
completion of such a timeframe, if it is confirmed by the entity
concerned that keeping them in storehouses for a longer period
can cause further damage. Violators of these stipulations can be
fined up to QR12,000 without prejudice to any stricter penalty in
any other law. The law will be published in the official gazette to
be enforced by the authorities concerned. (Gulf-Times.com)

(QA) and Royal Air Maroc are set to further strengthen their
recent business partnership with the launch of new code-share

this new code-share partnership will allow passengers to purchase
a single itinerary combining flights on both carriers’ global
networks, affording them the ease of one-stop ticketing and
baggage check-in. (Gulf-Times.com)

 US consumer prices up slightly, airfares drop – Consumer prices in
the US rose only slightly in July as airline fares recorded their
biggest drop since 1995, but tame inflation pressures will
probably not discourage the Federal Reserve from raising interest
rates in 2015. The Labor Department said its Consumer Price
Index edged up 0.1% in July, with gasoline and food prices
increasing marginally. July's rise marked a sixth straight monthly
increase. While inflation remains soft, a strengthening economy,
marked by a tightening labor market and a firming housing sector,
should give the US central bank confidence that it will gradually
move toward its 2% target. (Reuters)
 Germany backs Greek bailout as Tsipras mulls early polls – The
German parliament approved a third bailout for Greece after
Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said the country should get
"a new start", while in Athens the government agonized over
whether to call a snap election. The Bundestag vote cleared one of
the final obstacles to Greece getting funding so that it can make a
€3.2bn debt repayment to the European Central Bank. However, a
sizeable number of conservative lawmakers rebelled against
Chancellor Angela Merkel, objecting to pouring yet more billions
into Greece. The Dutch parliament also gave its blessing to the
Greek rescue, while the board of the Eurozone’s bailout fund in a
teleconference approved disbursing the first tranche of funds
under the new Greek program. (Reuters)
 IMF freezes benchmark currency basket, defers any yuan addition –
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said that it will freeze
its benchmark currency basket until October 2016, giving markets
more time to adjust to the possible addition of China’s yuan as part
of a review of global reserve currencies. The IMF board is
scheduled to decide in November whether the yuan will join the
Special Drawing Rights (SDR) basket. Beijing loosened
government controls on the yuan in August, allowing its value to
fall sharply. The IMF saw the policy shift as a step toward a freer
exchange rate, potentially setting the stage for the yuan to become
part of the SDR basket. The decision announced in a recent
statement, however, would defer the implementation of any move
to include the yuan. Beijing, keen for its currency to have equal
billing with the euro, yen, pound and dollar, has been pushing for
the yuan to be included in the SDR basket, which determines the
mix of currencies that countries like Greece receive as IMF
disbursements. To be included in the SDR basket, IMF
policymakers must decide the yuan is “freely usable”, or widely
used to make international payments and widely traded in foreign
exchange markets. (Reuters)

 UAE inflation edged up to 4.4% in July 2015 – Inflation in Abu
Dhabi and across the country grew at its fastest rate in July 2015
since 2009 as housing costs and prices of utilities continued to
increase. Nationwide, prices rose by 4.4% YoY and 4.2% MoM in

Dhabi, inflation rose to 5.4% in July 2015, up from 4.9% in June

Dhabi’s property market has continued to heat up. According to
real estate consultancy firm CBRE, Abu Dhabi rents were up 10%
on a YoY basis in July 2015. As per the data from Abu Dhabi Islamic
Bank, rents in the capital rose 3% between March 2015 and July
2015. According to CBRE, housing supply in Abu Dhabi is set to
grow slowly over the next five years. Around 34,000 residential
units are planned between 2015 and 2018, which is below the five-
year average for new residential units. (GulfBase.com)
 Etisalat amends statue, becomes Etisalat Group – Emirates
Telecommunications Corporation (Etisalat) has changed its
Articles of Association, thus changing its name from Emirates
Telecommunications Corporation to Emirates
Telecommunications Group Company (Etisalat Group). Etisalat
Group said that it will be converted from a corporation into a
public joint stock company and will issue a special share to the
UAE’s federal government, subject to the board’s approval. The
special share will grant its holder certain rights, such as approving
and vetoing key decisions of Etisalat Group, including but not
limited to changes in Etisalat Group’s share capital or the rights
attaching to shares, approving an employee share option plan,
approving any merger with any other company and allowing the
participation of a strategic investor, among others. Moreover, non-
UAE natural and legal persons will be entitled to up to 20% of the
company’s shares after the amendment. However, such shares
held by foreign persons or entities will not have any voting rights
in Etisalat Group’s general meetings. (ADX)

 NCSI: Oman’s budget deficit swells to OMR1.9bn – According to
National Centre for Statistics and Information (NCSI), Oman’s
budget deficit surged ahead to OMR1, 918.5mn in 1H2015, against
a surplus of OMR250mn for 1H2014, primarily due to a plunge in
oil prices. This is against a government target of OMR2.5bn deficit
for the whole of 2015. The government’s total revenue dipped by
36.3% to OMR4,579.7mn in 1H2015, from as high as
OMR7,194.3mn in 1H2014, mainly on account of a drastic fall in oil
revenue. Net oil revenue plunged by 46.1% to OMR2,846.8mn
from OMR5,277.9mn. Average price of Oman Crude dipped by
43.1% to $59.9 per barrel in the first seven months of 2015 from
