Good morning friends, and happy hump day. <\/strong>It\u2019s still busy in our neck of the woods as we inch closer to the final 10 days of Ramadan. <\/p>\n

We have a toss-up of big stories from National Security Advisor Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan\u2019s visit to the US<\/strong> \u2014 including a partnership with Microsoft to digitize Abu Dhabi government activities through a sovereign cloud, and separate discussions around investments in the US. Plus: The Central Bank of the UAE upgraded its forecast for economic growth this year<\/strong>, while the ICAEW also updated its outlook on the region, saying it expects it to remain resilient amid global headwinds like trade tensions. <\/p>\n

WEATHER<\/strong>-<\/strong> It\u2019s another sunny day across the country<\/strong>, according to our favorite weather app and the National Center of Meteorology\u2019s forecast (pdf)<\/a>. Dubai<\/strong> will see the mercury hit 30\u00b0C today, with an overnight low of 20\u00b0C, while temperatures will hit 26\u00b0C in Abu Dhabi<\/strong>, with an overnight low of 20\u00b0C.<\/p>\n

So, when do we eat?<\/strong> Maghrib is at 6:33pm today in Dubai and 6:37pm in Abu Dhabi. You\u2019ll have until fajr prayers at 5:06am in Dubai and 5:10am in Abu Dhabi tomorrow to finish your suhoor.<\/p>\n

The holiday may be extended to Wednesday, 2 April if Ramadan ends a day later, depending on the moon sighting. The public sector also gets three days off<\/a> for Eid al Fitr. <\/p>\n

Certificates are issued within one working day and can be delivered via email, mobile phone, or through a courier service. In exceptional cases, in-person assistance is still available at the DHA Customer Happiness Center.<\/p>\n

HAPPENING TODAY- <\/p>\n

Watch out for an interest rate decision from the Central Bank of the UAE later today<\/strong>, after the US Federal Reserve makes its decision at its Open Market Committee meeting. Fed funds futures are pricing in a 99% probability that the Fed will hold rates steady, CNBC<\/a> reports, citing CME\u2019s FedWatch tool.<\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE- <\/p>\n

<\/a> #1-<\/strong> Zapp <\/strong>to set up shop in Dubai -report: <\/strong>British rapid-delivery startup Zapp<\/a> plans to enter Dubai\u2019s competitive quick-commerce market as early as this year, Bloomberg<\/a> reports, citing a statement received from a company spokesperson. While specific details remain undisclosed, Zapp has hired staff in Dubai and held partnership talks with Talabat and Careem, according to another source familiar with its operations.<\/p>\n

The expansion comes as competition heats up in the Middle East<\/strong>. Talabat recently debuted in Dubai after listing a 20% stake on the DFM<\/a> in a USD 2 bn IPO last December and China\u2019s Keeta launched in Saudi Arabia in October<\/a>. Talabat also recently acquired<\/a> 100% of Dubai-based on-demand grocery delivery marketplace Instashop \u2014 the most recent in a series of acquisitions in the industry.<\/p>\n

About Zapp: <\/strong>The company currently operates exclusively in the UK, generating over USD 100 mn in sales in 2024, driven by partnerships with high-margin premium brands such as LVMH and Fortnum & Mason, according to documents seen by Bloomberg. Zapp has also teamed up with Deliveroo and Uber Eats to streamline order fulfillment.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> #2- Adnoc-BP joint venture (JV) Arcius Energy is in advanced negotiations to <\/strong>acquire Shell\u2019s <\/strong>50% stake in Egypt's Harmattan gas field<\/strong> in the Mediterranean, according to Asharq Business<\/a>, citing an official government source. There\u2019s no publicly available information about the value of the potential transaction, though the source said BP would own the remaining 50% stake in the gas field.<\/p>\n

The project in a nutshell:<\/strong> In December, BP and Shell signed an agreement<\/a> with the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) to begin production at the Harmattan field by 1Q 2026, with initial investments estimated at USD 370 mn. It\u2019s expected to produce 125 mn cubic feet of gas and 3.3k barrels of condensate daily. <\/p>\n

About Arcius:<\/strong> The JV was established in<\/a>December<\/a> with BP holding a 51% stake, while Adnoc\u2019s investment arm XRG owns 49%. Its concessions in Egypt include a 10% stake in the Shorouk offshore concession and full ownership of the North Damietta concession. The company also holds exploration rights in North Tabya, Bellatrix City East, and North Fayrouz.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> #3- Mubadala eyes consortium to launch Brazil stock exchange:<\/strong> Mubadala Investment is in discussions with global banks and market makers to create a consortium of up to ten partners to provide liquidity for a new stock exchange in Rio de Janeiro, set to be called the Base Exchange, Reuters<\/a> reports, citing sources it says have knowledge of the matter. In exchange, these partners would receive equity, slightly diluting Mubadala's current 73% stake. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s next?<\/strong> The exchange is expected to gain regulatory approval by year end and launch early next year. The project received support from Rio's mayor, who passed a law reducing the service tax on stock exchange activities. <\/p>\n

ADVISORS<\/strong>- Olimpia Partners is advising Mubadala, the newswire said.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER-<\/strong> We knew Mubadala Capital was planning t<\/a>o open a new stock exchange<\/a> in Brazil since last year, with its head of Brazil, Oscar Fahlgren, saying it plans to roll out the exchange in a staged launch, starting with equities and later expanding to other asset classes.<\/p>\n

This marks the airline\u2019s return to the Japanese operating lease with call option (Jolco) market \u2014 which the firm was very active in between 2014 and 2019, raising over AED 28 bn<\/a>.

Looking ahead: <\/strong>The report said supply was currently keeping pace with demand, with occupancy rates potentially dipping slightly as new hotels establish themselves. The average daily rate of rooms is expected to see a 1.0% y-o-y increase.<\/p>\n

2024 was a strong year for tourism: <\/strong>A record 18.7 mn visitors<\/a> in 2024, 20% of whom came from western Europe, with the next largest segment hailing from south Asia, leading tourism to contribute AED 236 bn to the emirates\u2019 economy, the report said. It also noted a significant resurgence in Chinese tourism to the UAE on the back of increased flights.<\/p>\n

\n

THE BIG STORY ABROAD- <\/p>\n

One story is on every front page this morning: <\/strong>The anticipated phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin ended with Putin agreeing to halt strikes on Ukrainian energy and infrastructure facilities for 30 days. The discussion also touched on tensions in the Middle East, with the two sides saying they would make \u201cjoint efforts to stabilize the situation in crisis zones.\u201d Trump described the conversation as \u201ca very good and productive one,\u201d in a post on his social media platform Truth<\/a>. He said the two sides \u201cwill be working quickly to have a complete ceasefire and, ultimately, an end to this very horrible war.\u201d (Bloomberg<\/a> | Reuters<\/a> | Financial Times<\/a> | New York Times<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Israel vowed to escalate its military operations, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s office saying it would act with \u201cincreased military strength.\u201d (BBC<\/a> | CNN<\/a> | New York Times<\/a> | AP<\/a>)<\/p>\n
