Good morning, wonderful people \u2014 and a very happy FRIDAY and final day ahead of our long Eid break. <\/strong>We wrap a busy workweek with yet another packed issue, with M&A and investment emerging as the dominant theme of the week. <\/p>\n

We have news of more overseas investments into private credit from sovereign wealth funds <\/strong>Mubadala and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, an acquisition of a solar project<\/strong> in Valencia from Masdar, and EHC Investment\u2019s energy arm acquiring Al Fanar Gas<\/strong>. Plus: Gulf Cement\u2019s board greenlit TC Mena Holding\u2019s takeover bid. <\/p>\n

***** EnterpriseAM UAE will be off for Eid Al Fitr. <\/strong>We\u2019ll be back in your inboxes either on Wednesday, 2 April, or Thursday, 3 April, depending on the final announcement for the UAE\u2019s national holiday once we learn when Ramadan ends. We wish you all a happy and restful Eid with family and friends.<\/p>\n

Planning a staycation in the UAE? You might want to move fast. <\/strong>Hotels across the UAE are reporting near full occupancy for the upcoming Eid Al Fitr break, with some properties already \u201cconfirmed 100%,\u201d Khaleej Times<\/a> reports. Dubai hotels like Central Hotels and Resorts are reporting over 80% occupancy now, and 100% later during Eid, while Booking.com data shows that 77% of accommodations are already booked from 30 March to 2 April.<\/p>\n

So, when do we eat?<\/strong> Maghrib is at 6:37pm today in Dubai and 6:41pm in Abu Dhabi. You\u2019ll have until fajr prayers at 4:56am in Dubai and 5:00am in Abu Dhabi tomorrow to finish your suhoor.<\/p>\n

\u2600\ufe0fWEATHER- It\u2019s a cloudier, slightly warmer day today<\/strong>, according to our favorite weather app and the National Center of Meteorology\u2019s forecast (pdf)<\/a>. The mercury in Dubai<\/strong> will hit 32\u00b0C, with an overnight low of 21\u00b0C, while temperatures in Abu Dhabi <\/strong>will reach 25\u00b0C, with an overnight low of 22\u00b0C.<\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE- <\/p>\n

<\/a> #1 <\/strong>Masdar is<\/strong> close to finalizing a contract for a 1 GW solar plant in Iraq<\/strong>, according to a statement<\/a> by the Iraqi Electricity Ministry following a sit-down by the UAE\u2019s Ambassador to Baghdad, Abdullah Al Mazrouei with Iraqi Electricity Minister Ziyad Ali Fadhil. <\/p>\n

What we know about the project: <\/strong>The 1 GW solar project<\/a> in Iraq was referred to the cabinet for review last year and is pending final approval and tax exemptions. <\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be Masdar\u2019s first in Iraq:<\/strong> The company signed an implementation ag<\/a>reement<\/a> in 2021 to establish 1 GW of solar projects across four regions in Iraq, including a 450 MW farm for the Dhi Qar governorate, 100 MW and 250 MW plants planned in Ramadi city in Anbar governorate, a 100 MW plant in Nineveh governate's Mosul, and another 100 MW plant in Maysan governate\u2019s Amarah. It had agreed earlier to establish 2 GW of renewables capacity in the country.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> #2- New symbol unveiled for the AED ahead of the digital AED launch<\/strong>:<\/strong> The Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) unveiled a new symbol for the AED, applicable to both physical and digital forms, as it prepares to launch the Digital AED in the final quarter of 2025 for the retail sector, according to a statement (pdf)<\/a>. The symbol features two horizontal lines signifying stability, inspired by the UAE flag. The Digital AED version will be encircled and accented with the flag\u2019s colors.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER-<\/strong> The Digital AED is part of the CBUAE\u2019s Financial Infrastructure Transformation program. Backed by blockchain, it will be legally recognized as a universal payment method, issued through licensed financial institutions for retail, wholesale, and cross-border use. The CBUAE marked its fiftieth anniversary last year<\/a> with the first live cross-border transfer using the currency, sending AED 50 mn to China via mBridge. <\/p>\n

The bank has stepped up efforts to elevate the AED: <\/strong>The CBUAE joined the FX Global Code<\/a> earlier this month to raise the AED\u2019s international profile. <\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> #3- Adnoc invited EPC bids for Project Rabdan: <\/strong>Adnoc has launched a feed-to-EPC tender for its blue hydrogen plant Project Rabdan<\/a> with 1 mn tons in annual capacity located in the Ta\u2019ziz industrial zone, Meed<\/a> reports. <\/strong>The facility is being developed by a consortium of local and global companies, including Adnoc and ADQ JV Ta\u2019ziz, UAE-based fertilizer and ammonia producer Fertiglobe, Korea\u2019s GS Energy Corporation, Japan\u2019s Mitsui & Co, and Tecnimont. Operations are set to begin in 2027.<\/p>\n

Fertiglobe has high hopes for the project: <\/strong>Adnoc ammonia arm Fertiglobe will eventually acquire a stake in the project, which will double the company\u2019s ammonia production capacity, Fertiglobe CEO Ahmed El Hoshy told Meed<\/a> last year. The company said in January it was exploring a more than USD 1 bn investment<\/a> in blue ammonia, contingent on commitments from Asian buyers. <\/p>\n

\n

#4- <\/strong>The <\/strong>UAE Health Council<\/strong> is planning to introduce regulations for the use of<\/strong> AI in healthcare<\/strong>, state news agency Wam<\/a> reports following a council meeting. No further details were disclosed. <\/p>\n

\n

#5- <\/strong>The<\/strong> Abu Dhabi Real Estate Center (ADREC) launched a platform for real e<\/strong>state listings and transactions<\/strong>, Madhmoun, in a bid to increase transparency in the sector through verified listings and real-time updates, according to Abu Dhabi Media Office<\/a>. The platform \u2014 which looks to unify listings under a verified platform and replace the currently fragmented data landscape \u2014 aims to boost property visibility by 70% and reduce transaction time by 40%.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> #6- <\/strong>Modon Ho<\/strong>lding to develop industrial zone in Egypt\u2019s Ras El Hekma: <\/strong>ADQ-owned developer Modon Holding<\/a> signed a letter of intent with Egypt\u2019s Elsewedy Industrial Development to build and operate a new industrial zone for the USD 35 bn Rask El Hekma project<\/a> on Egypt\u2019s north coast, Wam<\/a> reports. Modon was tapped as master developer for the project last October<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The details: <\/strong>The 10 mn sqm industrial zone will be located opposite the main development site and its initial priority will be attracting manufacturers providing materials to be used in the project\u2019s construction. Elsewedy Electric, Rak Ceramics, Hitech Concrete, and 3S Ready Mix Concrete are among those signing offtake MoUs to operate in the zone. Modon and Elsewedy Electric are looking to lock in anchor partners and industrial investors, particularly in Egypt, for the project. <\/p>\n

Long range vision: <\/strong>The industrial zone will be used following Ras El Hekma\u2019s completion, and become a long-term, year-round industrial base providing over 20k jobs over the next decade, supporting other developments, and exporting into Libya and Europe. <\/p>\n

DATA POINT- <\/p>\n

UAE's equality metrics outperform most developed nations:<\/strong> The UAE ranked as the top Arab nation in the UN<\/a>Trade and Development's Inclusive Growth Index<\/a>, scoring 91.4 in equality \u2014 outperforming developed economies such as the U.S. (median 73.5) and regional peers. The country also achieved an impressive 90.1 in living conditions, according to Khaleej Times<\/a>, a score comparable to advanced economies.<\/p>\n

The UAE is the only developing economy ranked in the global top 30, alongside Singapore. <\/strong>The index evaluates economies based on three pillars: equality, living conditions, and environmental sustainability. The equality component analyzed 10 key indicators, including income distribution, access to education, employment rates, and political representation\u2014particularly for women and youth.<\/p>\n

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

It\u2019s a mixed bag in the foreign press this morning<\/strong>, with the fallout from US President Donald Trump\u2019s tariffs on auto imports getting plenty of attention. <\/p>\n

The new 25% tariff, set to take effect on 3 April, will raise prices and impact global supply chains<\/strong>, Semafor<\/a> reports, with automakers in Asia set to suffer<\/a>, and those in the US also likely seeing an increase in costs amid efforts to move supply chains to the country. Retaliation from other countries will also become problematic. <\/p>\n

The EU is already considering hitting the US where it hurts: <\/strong>The EU bloc is mulling implementing restrictions on US service exports, which would include Big Tech operations, by suspending intellectual property rights and banning some companies from public procurement contracts, the Financial Times<\/a> reports. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Also getting attention:<\/strong> Earlier on Wednesday, Sudan\u2019s military recaptured the capital, Khartoum, from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a move that could mark a turning point in the two-year civil war. Information Minister and government spokesperson Khaled Al Aiser confirmed that the army now has \u201cfull control\u201d of the city, though fighting is expected to continue, raising fears of a prolonged conflict and a territorial split into two governments.<\/p>\n

This story has dominated global headlines: <\/strong>Bloomberg<\/a> | Reuters<\/a> | New York Times<\/a> | AP Press<\/a> | CNN<\/a> | BBC<\/a> <\/p>\n

MARKET WATCH- <\/p>\n

Regional and Asian oil traders could soon find themselves back in competition with <\/strong>European oil traders<\/strong>, as they contemplate re-entering Russia\u2019s markets in the wake of a limited maritime ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, the Financial Times<\/a> reports. Europe's leading commodity trading houses \u2014 including Gunvor, Vitol, and Trafigura \u2014 stopped trading Russian oil after the invasion of Ukraine and subsequent implementation of Western sanctions. Russia instead looked to new intermediaries \u2014 mainly in Dubai and Hong Kong \u2014 to shift crude to new buyers in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead:<\/strong> Russia has \u201ctheir own ways now and use their own controlled system to bring oil to the markets,\u201d Geneva-based energy trading firm Gunvor chief executive and founder Torbjorn Tornqvist told FT, adding that Russia \u201cwill not go back to what they used to do\u2026 and leave all the transport and all the marketing in the hands of the traders.\u201d Russia is expected to favor trading oil on a delivery basis, shipping directly to customers, thus maintaining a larger portion of the revenue stream, Tornqvist added.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER-<\/strong> Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire<\/a> in the Black Sea earlier this week. Ukraine said it would begin observing the maritime truce immediately, while Russia hinged its participation on lifting sanctions on agricultural exports and reconnecting key banks to SWIFT.<\/p>\n
