What we're tracking today

TODAY: Egypt secures agreements to liquefy and re-export Cypriot gas + PIF to up logistics, transport investments by 60% in 2025

Good morning, folks. It is another packed issue this morning, with several natural gas trade updates from Egypt and a heap of economic and industrial zones news from across the region. Let’s dive right in.

WATCH THIS SPACE-

#1- Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is mulling investments in a Gulf rail connection project, AIIB President Jin Lee Chun told Asharq Business, adding that the bank was in talks with regional finance ministers. The bank is also looking to support the development of regional infrastructure projects and drive a transition to carbon neutrality in the Gulf, Chun added.

Sound familiar? A feasibility and traffic study for a 2.1k km railway linking Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman, Bahrain, and Qatar was first completed back in 2023, with the project set to wrap up by December 2030. The initiative aims to link all Gulf states, enhance intra-regional trade, and improve movement.

UAE 💙 Oman: UAE’s Etihad Rail and Mubadala, and Oman’s Asyad Group launched a new entity — Hafeet Rail — to work on a railway connecting the UAE to Oman. The rail link is set to cut travel between Abu Dhabi and Sohar to 100 minutes, with freight trains moving at 120 km/h and passenger trains carrying up to 400 people at 200 km/h.

Kuwait’s also interested: Kuwait’s Central Agency for Public Tenders awarded Turkish engineering and consulting firm Proyapi the design contract for the first phase of Kuwait’s portion of the GCC railway project, after opening four bids for a 12-month design contract for a Kuwait-Saudi railway project in November. The 111 km railway will connect Kuwait City to the Saudi border and is part of the larger USD 200 bn GCC railway initiative.

#2- Saudia to snap up two London Heathrow slots in 2025: Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is looking to lease two of its PIF-backed London Heathrow slots out to KSA flagship carrier Saudia this year, PIA spokesperson Abdullah Hafeez Khan told Arab News. The lease would be effective from 5 April until 25 October. PIA — which has a total of 10 slots in the airport — has already filed a request for the slot transfer to global airport slot coordinator Airport Coordination Limited after they were returned from Vietnam Airlines.

BACKGROUND- Saudia is already leasing two slots from PIA under a revolving six-month contract, with PIA’s remaining eight slots on offer currently going to Turkish Airlines and Vietnam Airlines, Khan added. PIA began leasing out slots at European airports after the EU Aviation Safety Agency and restrictions by the UK blocked the PIA’s ability to operate in the zone in 2020 amid concerns over compliance with international aviation standards following a deadly plane crash. The ban was lifted in November.

IN OTHER REGIONAL AIRLINES UPDATES- FlyDubai eyes entry into India’s aviation market via Busy Bee bid for Go First: UAE’s budget airline FlyDubai is exploring a potential foray into India’s domestic aviation market through a JV with India’s Busy Bee Airways, which is seeking to acquire the intellectual property for the now-bankrupt airline Go First, Moneycontrol reports. The move would make way for the creation of a new low-cost carrier in India, leveraging Go First’s intangible assets — think trademarks, flying rights and airport slots — while excluding its physical assets, such as land holdings in Mumbai’s Thane District.

It’s still early: The total size of the transaction, post-collaboration ownership structure, and potential timeline for the move remain under wraps. Still, Busy Bee is reportedly offering roughly USD 115.1 mn for Go First’s licenses and digital assets in a bid that’s pending approval from the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) after Go First was ordered into liquidation by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) last month.

#3- Iraq’s Kurdistan region expects oil exports to resume by the end of March 2025, Kurdish region President Nechirvan Bazarni told Asharq Business on Sunday. The amount of oil allocated for domestic consumption in Kurdistan requires further negotiations between the region and Baghdad, Bazarni added.

REFRESHER- Iraq is tidying up loose ends with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) to resume the Iraq-Turkey oil pipeline following a two-year shutdown that cost Iraq nearly USD 19 bn in lost revenues.

#4- ADQ appoints co-lead managers for Aramex takeover bid: ADQ appointed EFG Hermes UAE and International Securities as co-lead managers alongside Emirates NBD Capital for its voluntary conditional cash offer to acquire up to 100% of Aramex, according to a DFM disclosure (pdf).

ICYMI: Aramex is set to respond to ADQ’s subsidiary Q Logistics Holding offer to acquire all Aramex shares by the end of this month. Shareholders have until 14 March to accept or reject the AED 3 per share offer, valuing the logistics firm at AED 4.4 bn. The transaction is expected to close in 3Q 2025.

MARKET WATCH-

#1- Crude prices ticked up this morning on the back of disrupted oil supplies from Kazakhstan to Russia, but gains were slightly offset by speculations on rising future supplies, Reuters reports. Brent crude futures increased by USD 0.15 to USD 75.37 a barrel, while the US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) surged by USD 0.67 to USD 71.41 a barrel by 04.54 GMT.

BUT- Is Opec+ mulling another delay of supply hikes? Opec+ is mulling another delay of a series of monthly supply increases that are set to begin in April, with some fearing that global markets are too unstable to absorb a production increase, Bloomberg reports, citing unnamed delegates.

Remember: A final decision is expected in the coming weeks. Another decision to postpone the 120k bbl / d production increase would mark the fourth time that the group has decided to put off rolling back production caps which first came into effect in 2022, the business news information service said.

Russia is denying: Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak insisted that Opec+’ plan to restore a total of 2.2 mn bbl / d through monthly increases extending into late 2026 “remains the same,” Bloomberg said.

It’s not just Russia: Three unnamed Opec+ delegates told Reuters that so far there have been no talks on delaying the increase, with one adding that oil markets will be braced to absorb extra supply starting April due to the tightening of sanctions and increasing demand from China. Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley and other analysts expect Opec+ to increase output levels.

#2- Baltic index maintains upward trajectory: The Baltic Exchange’s dry bulk sea freight index — which tracks rates for the capesize, panamax, and supramax vessel segments — grew 14 points to 806 on Monday. The capesize rose by 9 points to 725, while the panamax index gained 17 points to 997. The smaller supramax index was up by 16 points to 781.

DATA POINTS-

#1- Saudi Arabia Railways (SAR) freight operations were boosted by 15% y-o-y to 28.5 mn tons of goods and minerals, according to a statement released on X. The freight operations resulted in the diversion of over 2 mn truck trips from the Kingdom’s roads in 2024, conserving over 113 mn liters of fuel — down an estimated 48% y-o-y — and cutting down over 325k tons of carbon emissions.

#2- Bahrain Airport Company (BAC) saw an 11.2% y-o-y increase in cargo handling to 390k tonnes in FY 2024, according to a statement. The rise in cargo is driven by the launch of the first phase of its Express Cargo Village, which has a projection of reaching 1.3 mn tonnes of cargo per year, the statement adds

REMEMBER- BAC inked an undisclosed 15-year loan agreement with the Bank of Bahrain and Kuwait (BBK) earlier in January for the construction and development of the airport’s new Express Cargo Village last month. It also issued a tender in November for the second phase of the Express Cargo Village at Bahrain International Airport (BAH), which will be 3x larger than the first phase.

Egypt finalizes Cypriot gas liquidation and re-export agreements

Egypt seals agreements to liquefy and re-export Cypriot gas: Egypt’s Oil Ministry yesterday inked two agreements with Cyprus to liquefy and re-export Cypriot natural gas on the sidelines of the first day of the Egypt Energy Show, according to a statement. The agreements come as part of the government’s push to return Egypt to its status as a net LNG exporter.

The agreements involve Cyprus’ Aphrodite and Cronos fields and will see Cyprus ship natural gas from its offshore fields to be liquefied in facilities in Idku and Damietta before being re-exported to foreign markets.

The plan for the Aphrodite field: The previously-approved development and production plan for Aphrodite includes a floating production unit within Cyprus’ exclusive economic zone and a pipeline to transport gas to Egypt, according to a press release (pdf) from Chevron, which holds a 35% stake in the gas field. Shell holds another 35%, while Israel’s NewMed Energy holds the remaining 30% — the field holds an estimated 3.5 tn cubic feet of gas.

The plan for the Cronos field: Gas from the field will be re-exported to European markets after being processed in Zohr facilities and liquified in Damietta, Eni said in a statement. Eni and TotalEnergies each have a 50% interest in the field, which is estimated to hold over 3 tn cubic feet of gas.

“This project leverages Egypt’s existing infrastructure, including export facilities, which are a key enabler for developments in the Region. Egypt and Cyprus reaffirm their roles in the emerging energy hub of the Eastern Mediterranean, which is set to play an increasing role in the global gas supply in the near future,” Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi said.

REMEMBER- We first got word last month that the fields’ joint owners were expected to ink agreements for gas liquefaction and re-export with the Madbouly government. At the time, reports indicated that gas coming from the Cronos deposit was expected to be exported, while gas coming from the Aphrodite field could be used to feed local demand or be exported — we are yet to find out where the gas from the Aphrodite field will end up.

MORE GAS UPDATES FROM EGYPT-

#1- Egypt is reportedly looking to up its imports of Israeli gas by 58% by the middle of 2025, Asharq Business reports, citing unnamed government officials. The planned increase would take daily imports of Israeli gas to 1.5 bn cubic feet per day (cf/d) — equivalent to around a quarter of domestic demand.

The increase in Egypt-bound gas will follow developments of Chevron’s Tamar gas field, which will reportedly result in an uptick of output to Egypt by June. The move will eventually bring the field’s production capacity up to 1.6 bn cf/d from 1 bn cf/d currently.

#2- Production from Eni’s Noor field set to go live by mid-2026: Italian energy player Eni plans to begin producing 100 mn cf/d of gas from its Noor field off Egypt’s northern coast by mid-2026, two unnamed government officials told Asharq Business. Eni is also planning to invest USD 80 mn in a new well in the field, with stakeholders set to conduct further seismic surveys later this year to further elucidate the size of gas reserves in the area.

REMEMBER- Egypt recently agreed with Eni to resume drilling at the Zohr gas field to increase production by 220 mn cubic ft per day as part of its boost natural gas production rates to 5 mn cubic ft per day by the end of the year.

PIF to up its investment in KSA’s logistics and transport sector by 60% in 2025

Saudi’s PIF is planning to boost its investments in local logistics and transport outfits by 60% by the end of this year, the head of transport and logistics for Mena investments at PIF told Argaam. The fund is specifically eyeing potential investment options in the maritime transport, ports management and operations, and logistics sectors, aiming to streamline the procurement of raw materials, manufacturing and distribution.

To add to a long investments list: PIF already owns shares in KSA’s national shipping company Bahri. It also holds a 40% stake in Zamil Offshore Services and a 51% ownership in Dammam Port-operator Saudi Global Ports. The fund also set up Folk Maritime last year to support the Kingdom’s maritime transport operations, Al Muhanna added and has invested in Saudia Technic to develop the Jeddah MRO village back in 2023.

There is more overseas: PIF acquired an estimated 31% stake in Oman’s International Container Terminal in the Port of Sohar back in 2023 and has completed the acquisition of a 15% stake in FGP TopCo — Heathrow Airport’s parent company — from Spanish infrastructure player Ferrovial and other shareholders in December 2024.

Oman launches dry port + vet quarantine tenders for EZAD

Oman launches new EZAD tender: Oman’s Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Freezones (OPAZ) has issued a tender for Omani and Saudi firms interested in the development of dry port facilities and a veterinary quarantine at the economic zone at Al Dhahirah governorate (EZAD), according to a statement. The deadline for submission is 17 April 2025, Oman Observer reports.

The details: The tender includes the implementation of civil, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural work for the port. The 4 sq km dry port — to be operated by Oman’s Asyad Group — aims to shorten the transition time of goods shipments from and to Oman via other entry ports. It also aims to streamline the movement of goods between Oman and KSA.

The third in a line of tenders: OPAZ issued a tender back in November for Omani and Saudi firms interested in the development of an infrastructure and utility network for a fishery terminal at Oman’s Duqm port. It also awarded an Omani-Saudi consortium a consultancy tender back in April 2024 to design and supervise infrastructural facilities for the first phase of the zone.

Background: The Saudi Fund for Development inked an agreement back in 2023 to finance the construction of EZAD’s infrastructure for SAR 1.2 bn (c. USD 319.9 mn). Saudi Arabia and Oman previously formed a committee to plan for the development of a new integrated economic zone in Dhahirah over an area of 388 sqkm. The first phase of the zone will cover 20 sqkm and is expected to boost trade with Saudi Arabia.

UPDATES FROM OTHER REGIONAL ZONES-

#1- Saudi’s Northern Borders Province launched industrial, logistical, and infrastructure developments worth a combined SAR 550 mn at Wa’ad Al Shamal’s industrial zone, state news agency SPA reports. The projects — developed by the Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones (Modon) — include infrastructure developments over an area of 4.3 mn sqm in the province’s industrial zone, 20 ready-made factories with 12 support units, overhead transmission lines and substations, and a 7 km bridge connection to the International Road.

ALSO- The province broke ground on another major phosphate project — dubbed Phosphate 3 — worth SAR 28 bn developed by Ma’aden, which is set to push Saudi’s phosphate production capacity to 9 mn tons per year, up from a combined capacity of 6 mn tons from Phosphate 1 and Phosphate 2.

#2- Egypt breaks ground on electronics manufacturing facility: Chinese electronics and household appliance manufacturer Hisense and UAE’s FBB Tech began construction of their USD 38 mn new electronic devices manufacturing facility in the China-Egypt TEDA trade zone in Ain Sokhna, according to a statement.

The details: The project — first announced in August last year — will span 110k sqm and aims to produce 1 mn units annually. The first phase will include manufacturing TVs, monitors, and audio recorders.

Targeting exports: 70% of the project’s output is set to be exported to Europe and North and East Africa, while the remaining 30% will be allocated to the local market, according to the statement.

China is all in on its TEDA zone: As of September 2024, there were upwards of 160 Chinese companies that have established bases in the zone, who have collectively invested around USD 2 bn, Suez Canal Economic Zone Chief Walid Gamal El Din said back in September.

Agility Global posts robust growth in FY 2024

Kuwait’s Agility Global saw its net income attributable to shareholders jump to USD 125 mn in FY 2024, a 150% y-o-y increase in our calculation, according to a preliminary earnings release (pdf). The company — which is listed on both ADX and Kuwait Stock Exchange — saw its revenues climb about 14.5% y-o-y to USD 4.5 bn during the same period.

3Q 2024 performance: Agility Global’s net income attributable to shareholders rose USD 37.1 mn in 3Q 2024, while its revenues increased 16% y-o-y to USD 1.2 bn in the same period.

Betting big on major growth: The company announced it had inked a USD 1.4 bn credit facility agreement with several unnamed regional and global banks back in December to bolster future growth, as well as settling dues and funding current operations.

Highlights from the year: The logistics player undertook two major ventures in KSA, with a SAR 250 mn (c. USD 66.5 mn) expansion project at its warehousing complex in Riyadh and a new logistics complex development worth SAR 227 mn with Riyadh Development Company.

ICYMI: Agility Global floated its shares on the ADX last year, realizing 327% gains in share price on its first trading day via technical listing.

UAE and Ukraine ink an economic partnership to remove customs on most traded goods

UAE + Ukraine ink CEPA: The UAE and Ukraine have inked a comprehensive economic partnership agreement (CEPA) slashing tariffs on nearly all traded goods, state news agency Wam reports. The agreement removes customs duties from 99% of Ukrainian imports of UAE goods and 97% of Ukrainian exports to the UAE. Negotiations for the agreement wrapped up in April 2024.

The economic impact? By 2031, the agreement is projected to boost the UAE’s GDP by USD 369 mn and Ukraine’s by USD 874 mn. The partnership will focus on infrastructure, heavy industry, aviation, aerospace, and IT.

Background: The UAE’s non-oil foreign trade soared 14.6% y-o-y to AED 3 tn last year, with CEPAs contributing AED 135 bn to non-oil exports. The UAE is pushing to hit AED 4 tn in annual foreign trade by 2031, with 75% of that goal already locked in.

Shipping sector emissions levy proposal faces opposition ahead of UN April vote

IMO’s climate levy faces resistance from major economies: KSA, China, Brazil, and 12 other countries have formally opposed a proposed global levy on shipping emissions, The Guardian reported on Monday. The countries argued that the levy — basically a greenhouse gas (GHG) tax pricing mechanism — could harm developing nations’ exports, drive up food prices, and deepen global inequalities, according to a submission (pdf) to the United Nations’ International Maritime Organization (IMO) on 31 January. They also claimed that the tax is unnecessary for meeting the IMO’s GHG reduction targets.

IN CONTEXT- The proposed levy on GHG emissions will be discussed at the 18th IMO meeting this week and will be followed by another round of talks in March before a decision is taken in April. If adopted, the levy is expected to enter into action globally in early 2027.

Some are on board: At least 46 countries — representing around two-thirds of the global shipping fleet — support the levy, viewing it as a critical tool to raise USD bns annually for climate adaptation in vulnerable regions. Countries including Greece, Japan, South Korea, the UK, the European Commission, and the International Chamber of Shipping, have proposed tax rates ranging from USD 18 to USD 150 per tonne of GHG emissions.

Key disputes: Some industry players argue that the funds should be directed toward helping shipping companies transition to lower-carbon fuels and vessels. However, many developing nations strongly oppose this, insisting that the proceeds should qualify as climate finance to support their emission reduction and adaptation efforts.

Aviation industry updates from around the world

Aircraft makers flock to India for parts: Global aerospace manufacturers — including Airbus, Rolls-Royce, Collins Aerospace, and Pratt & Whitney — are increasingly turning to India to source parts and components due to supply chain issues across Western markets, Reuters reports, citing industry insiders.

The trajectory: The Aerospace India Association forecasts that the country will contribute 10% of the global supply chain market within 10 years, reaching an annual value of USD 250 bn by 2033. Airbus and Rolls-Royce both intend on doubling the amount of parts they source from the subcontinent, Reuters reports.

What’s India offering? “India is the best solution to supply chain challenges,” Reuters quotes Huw Morgan, senior vice president for aerospace procurement at Rolls-Royce, as saying at an industry event. “Our engine volumes are growing at around 20% and the traditional supply chains are just not able to support it,” Morgan said. “India is … the best cost market.”

This is no surprise: The global aviation supply chain has been impacted by shortages in spare parts and issues with engine maintenance, with giants like Boeing and Airbus failing to meet annual delivery targets. Boeing was especially hit hard by a six-week-long strike over workers’ wages that delayed deliveries of 737 MAX jets.

Trump goes after FAA employees: The Trump administration began firing hundreds of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) probationary employees on Saturday, and they could be barred from FAA facilities starting Tuesday, CNN reported, citing the head of the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists. The employees — who are responsible for air traffic control infrastructure maintenance — have been employed for less than a year, meaning they have less job protection, a loophole President Donald Trump and Elon Musk are leveraging as part of their aim to upend the federal workforce.

Safety concerns? This comes a few weeks after a US Army Black Hawk helicopter with a possibly faulty altimeter collided midair with a passenger jet in Washington DC, killing 67 people, CNN reported. The FAA’s system for delivering essential flight safety alerts to pilots malfunctioned just days after the crash, forcing the agency to depend on a backup system. The incident exposed a lack of air traffic controllers and problems with FAA infrastructure.
