Good morning, all. <\/strong>The return to normalcy is the theme for today\u2019s issue. The non-oil private sector showed partial recovery in April after contracting for the first time in over 5 years in March and regional travel is showing signs of a rebound.<\/p>\n

But that doesn\u2019t mean we haven\u2019t felt the consequences of the war. <\/strong>Our fiscal deficit hit SAR 125.7 bn (c. 35.5 bn) during the first quarter of the year \u2014 the figure is dangerously close to the USD 44 bn the government has penciled in for the entire year \u2014 <\/span>thanks to a dip in oil revenues and an uptick in government spending.<\/p>\n

^^ We\u2019ll have more on our 1Q performance in tomorrow\u2019s issue.<\/p>\n

Gov\u2019t extends mining applications deadline: <\/strong>Investors now have until 31 July to submit prequalification applications for mining exploration licenses across eight sites, the Industry and Minerals Resources Ministry posted on X<\/a>. The licenses target gold, silver, copper and associated minerals, and iron.<\/p>\n

The decision includes sites<\/strong> in Riyadh, Hail, and Aseer, as well as Ashhab Al Dhiab, Jabal Muniya, Al Khashabi, Wadi Khiyam, Jabal Makhit, Al Khushaimiyah, Dhalan Sammar Al Har, and Jabal Idsas.<\/p>\n

Busines<\/strong>ses s<\/strong>ubject to withholding tax must file their April tax returns by <\/strong>Sunday, 10 May<\/strong> via the Zakat, Tax, and Customs Authority\u2019s (Zatca) website, the authority said in a statement<\/a>. Firms face a 1% penalty for every 30 days of delay.<\/p>\n

<\/a> DIPLOMACY \u2014 No-visa travel between Saudi and <\/strong>Turkey? <\/strong>Saudi Arabia and Turkey are expected to finalize a no-visa travel agreement for holders of special and diplomatic passports today when the Turkey-Saudi Coordination Council meets, Reuters<\/a> reports, citing a Turkish diplomatic source.<\/p>\n

Why it matters: <\/strong>Ankara is targeting USD 10 bn in bilateral trade with the Kingdom in the near term. Easing travel for special passport holders \u2014 a group that includes senior officials and some business leaders \u2014 removes a key administrative hurdle for firms pursuing cross-border agreements and government-linked projects.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been cozying up with Ankara: <\/strong>Ties have continued to warm following Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan\u2019s visit to Riyadh in February<\/a>, during which the two sides discussed moving forward with a Turkey-GCC freetrade agreement and exploring joint investments.<\/p>\n

OIL WATCH \u2014 A<\/strong>ramco has reduced the price of its flagship Arab Light crude <\/strong>by USD 4 per barrel for June, setting the new cost at a USD 15.50 premium \u2014 the second highest on record \u2014 above local benchmarks, according to a price list seen by Bloomberg<\/a>. Official pricing might not reflect the ultimate cost paid by refiners, as these prices apply to Ras Tanura loadings, industry insiders said. Shipments from Yanbu could involve extra fees.<\/p>\n

M&A <\/strong>Watch<\/strong> \u2014<\/strong> FCC<\/strong> commissioner raises alarm bells over PIF-backed Warner Bros <\/strong>merger: <\/strong>US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) official Anna Gomez has identified Paramount\u2019s PIF-backed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery as a potential national security risk, as it would constitute foreign investment in US broadcasting, Reuters<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

ICYMI:<\/strong> Paramount submitted a request<\/a> to the regulator last week to bypass statutory limits on foreign ownership of US broadcasting assets, as foreign entities would own slightly less than 50% of the merged entity. The merger is backed by some USD 24 bn in commitments<\/a> from the Public Investment Fund and other GCC sovereign wealth funds.<\/p>\n

<\/a> INFRA<\/strong>STRUCTURE \u2014 Taif Road extension 65% complete: <\/strong>The Royal Commission for Riyadh City said<\/a> that the extension of Taif Road \u2014 part of the first phase of a SAR 13 bn main and ring road development program<\/a> \u2014 is 65% complete.

The big story abroad<\/p>\n

The wavering ceasefire in the US-Iran conflict is in the headlines this morning. <\/strong>Despite Iran's strikes on the UAE, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has maintained<\/a> that the truce still holds. President Donald Trump announced<\/a> a \u201cshort\u201d pause on US efforts to escort ships out of the Strait of Hormuz \u201cto see whether or not the Agreement can be finalized and signed.\u201d Echoing sentiments of deescalation, Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed<\/a> that the offensive stage of Washington\u2019s campaign is over.<\/p>\n

Could we bid farewell to quarterly earnings? <\/strong>The Securities and Exchange Commission is<\/a>considering<\/a> dropping the mandatory requirement of quarterly reporting, opting to keep disclosures a semi-annual occasion. The move by the US regulator coincides with Trump\u2019s call for deregulation for Wall Street.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in the world of AI:<\/strong> Meta is developing a personalized AI assistant<\/a> designed to streamline daily tasks for its global user base. Sources with knowledge of the matter compared the initiative to services offered by OpenClaw, which enables users to deploy autonomous agents capable of executing complex tasks independently.<\/p>\n

But is AI a bubble waiting to pop? <\/strong>JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon and BlackRock CEO Larry Fink say no. They have argued<\/a>, in separate comments, that Wall Street\u2019s massive investments in AI tech and infrastructure are justified. Fink argues that AI spending is the \u201copposite\u201d of a bubble, saying that \u201cwe have supply shortages; demand is growing much faster than anyone has anticipated.\u201d<\/p>\n

ALSO-<\/strong> Supply chain woes hit PIF-backed Lucid Group hard last quarter, causing the EV maker to suspend its annual forecast after a massive revenue miss<\/a>. A February supply chain hiccup stalled Gravity SUV deliveries, significantly impacting 1Q performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
