We have a packed issue for you as September draws to a close.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE BIG CLIMATE STORY in our corner of the world- It\u2019s still KSA\u2019s maiden green bond <\/strong><strong>issuance. <\/strong>We already know that investors are getting calls from the investment bankers \u2014 what might appetite look like? We talked to analysts to find out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ALSO- The UAE and Oman are discussing the investment of AED 30 bn (USD 8.1 bn) in <\/strong><strong>renewable energy and infrastructure projects in Oman. <\/strong>Abu Dhabi wealth fund ADQ and the Oman Investment Authority identified \u201cpreliminary\u201d targets for investment in sectors that include hydrogen, solar, wind power and others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>^^We have chapter and verse on these stories and more <\/strong>in the news well below.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"content-anchor\" id=\"tldr-story-05\"><\/a> <strong>SMART POLICY- The <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.difc.ae\/about\/dubai-sustainable-finance-working-group\/\">Dubai Sustainable Finance Working Group<\/a><\/strong> <strong>launched a self assessment tool allowing companies to track their ESG progress<\/strong>, the Dubai International Financial Center said in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.difc.ae\/newsroom\/news\/dubai-sustainable-finance-working-group-introduces-new-self-assessment-tool-companies-any-size-measure-their-esg-maturity\/\">a statement<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE GREAT DEBATE- <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"content-anchor\" id=\"tldr-story-04\"><\/a> <strong>The UAE is not letting go of fossil fuels, it <\/strong><strong>reminds us once more<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> \u201cAs long as the world needs oil and gas, we\u2019re going to give it to them,\u201d UAE Climate Change and Environment Minister Mariam Al Mheiri told <a href=\"https:\/\/cnb.cx\/3Sj68T6\">CNBC<\/a> yesterday. The minister made the comments when asked about the UAE\u2019s decision to <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/f225909c-07a1-42dc-a2a1-15f8c4b136bb\">sell (albeit small amounts of) LNG to Germany<\/a> during German Chancellor Olaf Scholz\u2019s visit to the GCC earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The UAE isn\u2019t the only Gulf country to have recently defended its fossil fuel industry: <\/strong>Both <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/19a70c33-af50-4581-8234-83dc00b10258\">Qatar<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2022\/09\/21\/aramco-wants-more-fossil-fuel-investment-81700\/\">Saudi Arabia<\/a> have mounted a defense of their continued reliance on oil and gas in recent days and cautioned against an aggressive transition into renewables. <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/19a70c33-af50-4581-8234-83dc00b10258\">We reported<\/a> yesterday on how Qatar\u2019s Energy Minister Saad bin Sherida Al Kaabi deemed the \u201ccancellation\u201d of hydrocarbons as \u201cunrealistic\u201d and harmful for the green transition. Saudi Aramco CEO Amin Nasser made similar comments <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/57b63b2a-c61b-42cb-b4c8-817522ccef88\">earlier this month<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The argument?<\/strong> Renewables, they say, are still not able to provide a stable source of energy capable of replacing fossil fuels across the world. Nasser last week pointed to the still-unfolding energy crisis and blamed a fall in new investment in oil and gas production. Fossil fuels will remain a part of the energy mix while the world builds out its renewables capacity, upgrades its infrastructure, and develops technology. \u201cIt\u2019s really important that economic growth, energy security and climate action must be worked at together,\u201d Al Mheiri told CNBC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Feet in both camps:<\/strong> The three countries are some of the world\u2019s biggest oil and gas producers \u2014 but they\u2019re also investing heavily in the energy transition and updating production and emissions targets (though <a href=\"https:\/\/renewablesnow.com\/news\/saudi-arabia-seen-to-miss-2023-renewables-target-by-a-mile-at-current-pace-797160\/\">keeping to them is proving difficult<\/a> for some).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Plot twist:<\/strong> Both <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/8a84e1ca-379d-47a1-9bdc-c2976c044aea\">Saudi<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/01a05f9a-2ffa-49f4-bde1-77beefe49745\">UAE<\/a> are trying to use renewables and efficiency measures to lower the carbon footprint of producing hydrocarbons, as we reported this week. Yesterday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-09-28\/europe-s-blue-ammonia-cargoes-from-saudi-arabia-uae-won-t-be-carbon-free?sref=mmeFTDW1\">Bloomberg<\/a> suggested that the UAE may be using CO2 captured from blue ammonia production to extract fossil fuels. The business information service also quotes an \u201cindependent clean energy analyst\u201d that argues Aramco and Sabic pushed the envelope by using carbon offsetting rather than actually capturing the CO2 produced through the making of blue ammonia.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><strong>THE BIG CLIMATE STORY OUTSIDE THE REGION- <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>One of the most powerful storms to hit the United States in decades: <\/strong>Hurricane Ian made landfall in Florida overnight, multiple media outlets report.

id=\"tldr-story-01\"><\/a> <strong>KSA is taking its maiden green bond to market \u2014 but will there be <\/strong><strong>investor appetite?<\/strong> Saudi Arabia\u2019s sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pif.gov.sa\/en\/pages\/homepage.aspx\">PIF<\/a>), is moving forward with plans to issue its first green bond, with investment bankers apparently <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/a235d315-d880-4303-a953-6de001852759\">now on the phones to investors<\/a>. But with issuance volumes in the region plunging this year on the back of market volatility, how will the bond be received by investors? Enterprise Climate spoke to EFG Hermes\u2019 head of Macroeconomic Research <a href=\"https:\/\/eg.linkedin.com\/in\/mohamed-abu-basha-82675a46\">Mohamed Abu Basha<\/a> and Arqaam Capital\u2019s Associate Director <a href=\"https:\/\/eg.linkedin.com\/in\/noaman-khalid-40a41522\">Noaman Khalid<\/a> to get a sense of expectations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There\u2019s definite appetite in the market for MENA green bonds<\/strong>, illustrated by the success of Egypt\u2019s sovereign issuance <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2020\/09\/30\/egypt-sells-usd-750-mn-of-sovereign-green-bonds-in-maiden-issuance-22640\/\">in 2020<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2021\/07\/04\/its-official-cib-confirmed-to-be-our-first-corporate-green-bond-issuer-46406\/\">CIB\u2019s corporate issuance<\/a> the year after, Abu Basha tells Enterprise Climate. \u201cBoth went very well and they ended up issuing more than initially planned. I think the market would have welcomed further issuances,\u201d says Abu Basha.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The market has changed a lot since then:<\/strong> Volatility in the global financial markets has the number of issuances in the region plunge in 2022. Sales were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/markets\/us\/gulf-bond-hopefuls-wait-wings-after-first-half-plunge-volumes-2022-07-21\/\">down 80% y-o-y<\/a> in the first half of the year as issuers \u2060\u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/saudi-wealth-fund-pif-issue-green-debt-soon-says-governor-2021-09-22\/\">including the PIF<\/a> \u2060\u2014 held fire waiting for conditions to improve. \u201cFor most emerging and frontier economies, international markets are almost completely closed now. They cannot issue,\u201d Abu Basha notes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>That hasn\u2019t stopped everyone: <\/strong>Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB) <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/039de4e2-7078-4457-8904-11d3d4430560\">raised USD 500 mn<\/a> in a green bond sale earlier this month \u2014 an issuance that was almost 4x oversubscribed, demonstrating strong investor demand. \u201cThat gives a bit of a hint on what to expect\u201d of the PIF offering, Abu Basha says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saudi Arabia is well-positioned: <\/strong>With activity in the global bond market currently very limited, exposure to green bonds and other issuances is appealing, while Saudi Arabia\u2019s strong economy \u2014 backed by high oil prices, increased economic diversification, and strong investment flows \u2014 will also play a big role in drawing investors, says Khalid.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating agencies like the PIF:<\/strong> The PIF\u2019s issuance is likely to be a very high-rated bond, which will also be welcomed by the market, Abu Basha says. Rating agencies have assigned the fund investment-grade credit ratings, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moodys.com\/research\/Moodys-assigns-first-time-A1-rating-to-Saudi-Arabias-Public--PR_461691\">Moody\u2019s<\/a> handing it an A1 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitchratings.com\/research\/international-public-finance\/fitch-revises-outlook-on-public-investment-fund-to-positive-affirms-at-a-29-04-2022\">Fitch<\/a> an A.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Expect plenty of interest outside our corner of the world: <\/strong>\u201cI don\u2019t think [appetite] will be limited to regional players. There will be quite a lot of interest on the international level,\u201d says Abu Basha. The global rise of ESG funds \u2014 and even normal funds with mandatory ESG guidelines \u2014 will be one factor fueling this, he says. Investors will be looking to diversify their portfolios \u2014 both geographically and in terms of exposure to green issuances, says Khalid. For European and US investors in particular, \u201cMENA will give them new exposure from a portfolio diversification point of view,\u201d he adds. ACDB\u2019s issuance drew over USD 1.9 bn in orders from a mix of regional and international investors, with strong demand from Europe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tightening financial conditions are unlikely to weigh on the sale: <\/strong>Even considering the impact of rising interest rates around the world, there\u2019s likely to be high market interest \u2014 and available funding \u2014 for this kind of high-grade issuance, given there have been relatively few such issuances in a while, according to Abu Basha.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The eye of the storm: <\/strong>With interest rates expected to rise significantly before the end of the year and growing fears of a global recession, this could be good timing for the issuance, Khalid says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What can we expect pricing on PIF\u2019s bond to be like?<\/strong> Khalid expects the five-year bond to carry a yield of 5-5.2%. \u201cIf we assume another two or three rate hikes will take place, they could be factored into the pricing itself,\u201d he said. The PIF\u2019s slightly weaker credit rating means that the bond could be priced higher than the 115-bps spread priced for ADCB\u2019s five-year bond, though higher coverage and volume could narrow this, Khalid adds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Green finance is becoming a thing in MENA, <\/strong>Abu Basha tells us. Using green financial instruments allows GCC countries to lessen their reliance on hydrocarbons and keep investing renewables, he says. They\u2019re another way for countries and businesses to raise money while allowing economies to diversify their funding sources: \u201cKSA and PIF have a lot of equity and can invest [widely], but for sure they\u2019d also like to entertain some debt financing \u2014 and this avenue can give them that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>A FIRST LOOK AT ITS FINANCES-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The PIF has offered potential investors a look at its finances as it takes the bond to <\/strong><strong>market<\/strong>, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/saudi-sovereign-wealth-fund-reveals-finances-for-first-time-ahead-of-bond-sale-11664355559?mod=hp_lead_pos12\">Wall Street Journal<\/a>, which got hold of a copy of the prospectus.

class=\"content-anchor\"><\/a> <strong>Kuwait is working on a solar feed-in tariff: <\/strong>Owners of solar panels could soon be able to sell unused power back to the national grid under a new framework being drawn up by the Electricity and Water Ministry. Plans for a feed-in tariff would see the government purchase surplus electricity produced from solar panels and feed it back to the grid, Minister Ali Al Mousa said yesterday in statements picked up by Kuwaiti news outlet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alanba.com.kw\/ar\/kuwait-news\/1143821\/28-09-2022-%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%81%D9%8A%D8%AF%D9%8A%D9%88-%D9%88%D8%B2%D9%8A%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%83%D9%87%D8%B1%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%A1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%AA%D9%87%D8%A7%D8%A1-%D9%88%D8%B6%D8%B9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B3%D9%88%D8%AF%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%88%D9%84%D9%89-%D9%85%D8%B4%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%B9-%D8%B4%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%A1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B7%D8%A7%D9%82%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%AA%D8%AC%D8%AF%D8%AF%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%86%D8%AA%D8%AC%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%BA%D9%8A%D8%B1\/\">Al Anba<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The rationale:<\/strong> Feed-in tariffs provide an additional incentive for households and business owners to purchase solar panels or wind turbines by offering them a way to generate income from their investment. The offtaker \u2014 usually energy suppliers or governments \u2014 offer to purchase units of power at a fixed rate per KWh, helping them to offset existing utility bills and break-even faster.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The aim:<\/strong> Kuwait wants solar panels on 10% of residential, commercial, and government buildings in the initial phase of the program, Al Mousa said yesterday. This would provide around 3% of the country\u2019s electricity needs, save the country 720k barrels of oil every year, and reduce annual carbon emissions by 300k tons, he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There\u2019s still a lot we don\u2019t know:<\/strong> The Kuwaiti government is yet to release the details of how the scheme will work, including how the tariffs will be structured, the rates and how long they will last for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s next:<\/strong> The plan is being discussed with regulatory bodies for approval, according to the newspaper.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/climate\/tag\/energy\/\">energy<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/climate\/tag\/kuwait\/\">Kuwait<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/climate\/tag\/legislation-watch\/\">LEGISLATION WATCH<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/climate\/tag\/renewables\/\">renewables<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/climate\/tag\/solar\/\">SOLAR<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"74160\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"74161\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"74161\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">5<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">ALSO ON OUR RADAR<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/climate\/2022\/09\/29\/hassan-allam-completes-solar-pv-plant-for-cop27-jordan-wants-to-turn-aqaba-into-regional-logistics-hub\/\">\r\n                            Hassan Allam completes solar PV plant for COP27 + Jordan wants to turn Aqaba into regional logistics hub                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/climate\/2022\/09\/29\/hassan-allam-completes-solar-pv-plant-for-cop27-jordan-wants-to-turn-aqaba-into-regional-logistics-hub\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
