But first, an update on the US-China trade war\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>THE BIG LOGISTICS STORY- US moves through with China tariff hike: <\/strong>The US President Donald Trump followed through with his threat of a 104% tariff on Chinese goods, triggering a market sell-off. The tariff, which reaches up to 120% for some goods, pushed stock losses to the USD 10 tn mark, with the S&P 500 experiencing a sharp swing \u2014 despite gaining some 4% earlier in the day \u2014 to end the day 1.6% down.

While the GCC\u2019s exposure to the impact of Trump\u2019s tariffs is limited given the region\u2019s limited exports to the US, ensuing global volatility, weaker demand, and delayed investments are expected to weigh on companies\u2019 2Q earnings performance, Zawya reports. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What they said:<\/strong> \u201cThe uncertainty surrounding the tariffs and their potential impact on global trade could lead to continued market volatility over the next 2-3 months,\u201d said Hamza Dweik, head of trading at Saxo Bank MENA. Analysts also flagged the risk of economic instability and strain on fiscal budgets from falling oil prices, capital outflows, and tighter fiscal conditions if trade tensions persist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Regional IPO activity may also slow amid market instability<\/strong>, Dweik said.

In the short-term, demand might weaken slightly, though travel will remain resilient, he added. Emirates, as one of the world\u2019s largest international carriers, will feel the ripple effects, but it will be able to ride the wave thanks to its global reach and strong business model, Clark said. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKET WATCH- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#1-<\/strong><strong> Oil prices fell to a four-year low this morning after the US moved ahead with its tariff <\/strong><strong>hike on Chin<\/strong><strong>ese products, <\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/energy\/oil-slides-nearly-4-us-kicks-off-104-tariffs-china-2025-04-09\/%5C\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a> reports.

Relief would only be in the cards if Egypt addresses several non-tariff barriers, Al Wathiq Billah said, relaying discussions from a recent meeting between US and Egyptian trade officials.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why this matters: <\/strong>If 10% is \u201cthe new 0%,\u201d a cut below 10% for QIZ or other select categories could be a boon for Egyptian manufacturers in certain sectors. It would be good for folks producing in the country now, and might help attract FDI to the market as companies scramble for preferential access to US markets through Egypt while also looking to diversify away from China. (The caveat, of course, is \u201cWho else does Trump do a deal with to get below 10%?\u201d)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>In exchange for relaxing tariffs, US officials are pushing for<\/strong> <strong>the removal of <\/strong><strong>non-tariff barriers in key sectors like ICT, air freight, and corporate ownership rules,<\/strong> Al Wathiq Billah said. He also said that the Americans have flagged issues, including Egypt\u2019s ban on importing poultry products and potato seeds, limitations on outbound data transfers from local data centers (data sovereignty is a hot topic in our part of the world), and the halal certification processes. However, \u201csome of these restrictions can\u2019t be lifted due to national security concerns,\u201d Al Wathiq Billah noted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The US is said to be open to adding new products under the QIZ agreement, but <\/strong><strong>has opposed expanding the pact to cover new geographical zones of Egypt<\/strong>, Al Wathiq Billah said. This could mean that goods, including electronics and leather goods, could be included in the program as long as the 10.5% Israeli content requirement is met. This presents a huge advantage that Egypt could leverage to have a competitive cost advantage over other peer exporters to the US, Al Wathiq Billah noted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Talks to lower the Israeli content requirement \u2014 an Egyptian goal for nearly two decades <\/strong><strong>\u2014 remain on pause<\/strong>, with talks suspended following the outbreak of Israel's war on Gaza.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Tariff relief or not, Egypt is already subject to the US\u2019 lowest rate \u2014 and that\u2019s good <\/strong><strong>news for FDI, <\/strong>Al Wathiq Billah said. The current moment is a unique chance for Egypt to take advantage of the new US tariff system, particularly in sectors like ready-made garments and textiles \u2014 where tariffs on exports from competitors like Bangladesh and Vietnam exceed 40%, he added. The Investment Ministry is already receiving weekly visits from Chinese and Turkish investors exploring opportunities to manufacture in Egypt and re-export to the US, he said. If Egypt moves quickly, it could bring in as much as USD 15 bn in additional FDI, Al Wathiq Billah said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>However, this could be complicated by the <\/strong><strong>US starting to scrutinize the origins of the <\/strong><strong>companies and investments behind our exports, <\/strong>the Egyptian Exporters Association\u2019s head Mohamed Kassem said at the ECES gathering. In a future phase, the US could impose higher tariffs on Egyptian exports produced by companies with non-national capital \u2014 such as those backed by Chinese or Turkish investors, Kassem said. The stated aim of Washington\u2019s new tariffs is to bring back high-value manufacturing to US soil and redraw global trade, which may lead the US to begin verifying the origin of capital behind exporting companies to prevent the circumvention of its tariff regime.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>An opportunity in the making? <\/strong>The reshaping of the global trade order could be a chance for Egypt to reposition itself as a manufacturing and services hub, EFG Hermes\u2019 Head of Research Ahmed Shams El Din told us in Dubai on the sidelines of the EFG Hermes One on One investor conference. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The caveat: <\/strong>We need to see more private-sector involvement in the economy for that to work. That means less crowding-out by state actors, Shams said, and more competitiveness to deliver higher returns on capital. Policy is key here, and if the El Sisi administration works hand-in-hand with the private sector, Egypt could emerge from this crisis on a stronger footing, he added. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>SOUND SMART #1- <\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.qizegypt.gov.eg\/Page\/Protocol\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Egypt\u2019s QIZ pact<\/a> with the US and Israel that began in 2005 allows goods made in designated Egyptian zones to enter the US without duties or quotas provided they include around 10.5% Israeli production input. The agreement \u2014 which has particularly helped boost Egypt\u2019s textile and garment exports to the US \u2014 was set up by the US to deepen regional cooperation and was modeled on an earlier US-Jordan QIZ pact, which Washington viewed as a lever for regional peace and economic integration. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>SOUND SMART #2- <\/strong>MFN tariffs are the lowest standard import duties that a country would apply to other members of the World Trade Organization \u2014 unless a special trade pact exists between the two.

The US has a long list of products for which it has tariffs, from a 2.5% levy on all passenger cars to a 131.8% duty on shelled peanuts \u2014 and everything in between.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/egypt\/\">Egypt<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/trade\/\">trade<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/usa\/\">USA<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"85575 advertiser\" class=\"issue-section enterprise-adv\">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                            \"\r\n            id=\"85575\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2025\/04\/09\/85575\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-85575\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-85575 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-advertiser wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/transmar.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2024\/1\/2700.jpg?ssl=1\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"85576\" 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=\"85576\">\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\">Trade<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2025\/04\/09\/aramco-subsidiary-inks-20-year-lng-sale-and-purchase-agreement-with-nextdecade-corporation\/\">\r\n                            Aramco subsidiary inks 20-year LNG sale and purchase agreement with NextDecade Corporation                        <\/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\/logistics\/2025\/04\/09\/aramco-subsidiary-inks-20-year-lng-sale-and-purchase-agreement-with-nextdecade-corporation\/\" 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();

Anything above 50 denotes expansion, while anything below indicates contraction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>First up, Lebanon:<\/strong> Lebanon\u2019s non-energy private sector growth slowed down at its quickest pace since October, as new business intakes fell in tandem with a renewed decline in output and employment, according to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/4\/323.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Blominvest Bank\u2019s Lebanon PMI (pdf)<\/a>. The nation\u2019s headline figure came in at 47.6, down from 50.5 in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/logistics\/en\/news\/story\/8a5853ae-ea57-421c-91af-4aec1ab39928\/how-non-oil-private-sectors-in-lebanon-%2B-qatar-fared-in-february\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">February<\/a>, in what is the nation\u2019s first month in the red following its two-month streak in expansion territory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>New order intakes were down,<\/strong> which surveyed firms attributed to lower purchasing power among clients, as well as a reluctance from consumers to spend on non-essential goods and services. Sales to overseas customers also fell during the month, due to a combination of challenging shipping conditions, high export costs, and regional instability. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Both internal and external factors led to an atmosphere of instability for the economy:<\/strong> \u201cThe spillover effects from clashes on the Syrian coast, to renewed escalation between Israel and Hezbollah, to delays in the disarming of the latter have all left their de-stabilizing imprint on the Lebanese private sector,\u201d Blom Chief Economist Ali Bolbol said. This, coupled with a continued delay in the new government\u2019s appointment decisions led to an apparent \u201cchange of course in the economy toward instability,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Firms\u2019 purchasing activity also declined during the month,<\/strong> with buying volumes remaining largely unchanged from February. Meanwhile, input prices were on the rise, with \u201cfoodstuff, metals, medical supplies and imports all cited as sources of inflationary pressures.\u201d This led to the continued increase in overall operating expenses \u2014 which, in turn, led to output prices going up for the tenth consecutive month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Despite the decline in non-oil activity, businesses remain confident:<\/strong> Private sector firms\u2019 growth expectations remained among the most optimistic in the country since the survey began in May 2013, with many citing hopes for a recovery in demand. \u201cThe only worthwhile news from the March PMI results is that expectations of a better outlook are still positive, though at a more subdued level,\u201d Bolbol said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Over in Qatar:<\/strong> Qatari non-oil private sector\u2019s growth maintained its momentum in March, in what was the \u201cstrongest overall improvement in business conditions in the non-energy private sector economy of 2025 so far,\u201d according to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/4\/335.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Qatar Financial Center PMI (pdf)<\/a>. The nation\u2019s headline figure rose to 52.0, up from 51.0 in February, sending Doha even more comfortably above the 50.0 threshold indicating growth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>New orders were on the rise during the month,<\/strong> marking the first such rise of the year, while overall business activity came in lower than in February due to a slow period in the construction sector. Meanwhile, firms\u2019 purchasing activity rose during the month, with companies rebuilding their inventories as the overall economic outlook strengthened.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Employment continued to have the strongest contribution to Qatar\u2019s PMI performance,<\/strong> but came in lower than February\u2019s all-time high of 61.9. This extended the country\u2019s current run of positive job creation to eight consecutive months, with workforce growth remaining strong across all sectors. Similarly, average wages and salaries increased at one of the highest levels on record \u2014 but did so at their slowest pace in four months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Qatari businesses remain optimistic:<\/strong> \u201cQatari firms were increasingly confident regarding the 12-month outlook. Sentiment was among the highest registered over the past two years, and above the long-run survey trend. Anecdotal evidence linked growth forecasts to improving economic conditions, growth in real estate and construction, government development initiatives, population growth \u2013 including expats \u2013 and tourism,\u201d the report reads.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Meanwhile, in Kuwait:<\/strong> Non-oil activity in Kuwait continued to expand at an even more pronounced pace in March, with the country recording its seventh consecutive month above the 50.0 mark for healthy growth, according to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/4\/338.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">S&P Global\u2019s PMI (pdf)<\/a>.

New export orders were also on the rise, increasing at their fastest pace in a year. Meanwhile, Kuwaiti non-oil firms increased their purchasing activity following a fall in February, as companies looked to complete customer requests in a timely manner. Output also increased at a faster rate than it did during the previous month. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Input costs also rose markedly in March,<\/strong> which was mainly reflective of higher purchase prices.
