FOCUS
GCC countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE) plan to invest up to US$ 2tn
on infrastructure projects alone in the next decade.
The Saudi government has planned to spend more than SR780 billion on infrastructure and
transportation projects during the year. Railways, airports and major infrastructure projects
are being constructed across the country.
One of the biggest challenges facing Iraq over the next decade is providing adequate housing
to its citizens. Estimates of the current shortfall range from 2 - 3.5 million homes and demand
is growing. In the National Housing Plan, Baghdad set out a number of ambitious housing
targets and objectives for building new homes. With an underdeveloped construction sector
and lack of large-scale developers, the programme will present international firms with
numerous opportunities in the coming years. Most notably the growing need for international
companies to take part in Iraq’s programmes is essential. Public-Private Partnership (PPP)
programmes for state-owned assets of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Construction
& Housing are underway.

UPDATE
P. E.P.C.
PROJECT EXPORTS PROMOTION COUNCIL OF INDIA (PEPC)
India is a country with large and diverse infrastructure sector. The Government of India recognized the
imperative need for the infrastructure sector and takes several initiatives like Committee of
Infrastructure, National Highway Development Project (NHDP), National Maritime Development
Programme (NMDP), Tax Holidays etc for the development and promotion of the sector. In the recent
years, there has been several improvements in sectors like roads & highways, ports, railways and
airports, the policy and regulatory framework is already in place and investment in infrastructure has
risen considerably however there are still significant gaps that need to be bridged.
With a view to create a platform for all the stakeholders and for the conclusive growth & development of
the Infrastructure sector, PEPC works with the Central and Foreign
Governments, National &
International development organizations like World Bank, Asian Development Bank etc, Government
Agencies, and various other stakeholders to promote the Project exports.
PEPC discusses policy, regulatory and procedural issues with its members, industry experts etc. and
advice appropriate reforms to the government for the development of the project exports. For making
conducive business environment PEPC highlights encumbrances being faced by the industry players in the
process of development of the sector and interacts with various national / international agencies for
making feasible measures to overcome those encumbrances.
PEPC supports the Government in its efforts towards projecting the project exports. It act as a reference
point for investors (Domestic & International) interested in the sector and provide information related to
government guidelines, investment opportunities, government & development agencies (which are
involved in the development process of the sector).
For promotion of the sector PEPC works proactively and suggests necessary procedures during the
process of policy formation, budgetary allocation, forming legal framework etc. by the government. To
maintain smooth progress PEPC also insist government to make essential provision for timely upgradation
of the policies on the basis of regular feedback from its members and industry players.
PEPC organizes several investment promotion programmes, conferences, seminars, workshops, etc on
regular basis for facilitating interaction between various government agencies, international bodies,
industry players and its members that provide prospects to raises issues pertaining to the sector and
exchange ideas. These networking events provide a platform to share thoughts, explore business
opportunities among the varied stakeholders of the project sector. These measures help to analyse the
present developments and identifies the ways to overcome the constraint of the sector.
PROJECT EXPORTS
Project Exports from India commenced with a modest beginning in the late 1970s. Since then, project
exports have evolved over the years, with Indian companies demonstrating capabilities and expertise
spanning a wide range of sectors. The nature of Project Exports being undertaken reflects the
technological maturity and industrial capabilities in the country. Project exports are broadly divided into
four categories:




Civil construction
Turnkey modules
Consultancy services
Supplies, primarily of capital goods and industrial manufactures
Each of the above are explained here:
3
Global Project Opportunities: July, 2012
Civil construction projects
Construction projects involve civil works, steel structural work, erection of utility equipment and include
projects for building dams, bridges, airports, railway lines, roads and bridges, apartments, office
complexes, hospitals, hotels, and desalination plants.
Turnkey projects
Turnkey projects involve supply of equipment along with related services and cover activities from the
conception stage to the commissioning of a project. Typical examples of turnkey projects are: supply,
erection and commissioning of boilers, power plants, transmission lines, sub-stations, plants for
manufacture of cement, sugar, textiles and chemicals.
Consultancy services
Services contracts, involving provision of know-how, skills, personnel and training are categorised as
consultancy projects. Typical examples of services contracts are: project implementation services,
management contracts for industrial plants, hospitals, hotels, oil exploration, charter hire of rigs and
locomotives, supervision of erection of plants, CAD/ CAM solutions in software exports, finance and
accounting systems.
Supply contracts
Supply contracts involve primarily export of capital goods and industrial manufactures. Typical examples
of supply contracts are: supply of stainless steel slabs and ferro-chrome manufacturing equipments,
diesel generators, pumps and compressors.
Project export contracts are generally of high value and exporters undertaking them are required to offer
competitive credit terms to be able to secure orders from foreign buyers in the face of stiff international
competition. Exim Bank plays a pivotal role in promoting and financing Indian companies in the execution
of projects. It has been closely associated with the growth of project exports from India by way of
providing finance, information and business advisory services. The bank supports Indian companies at all
stages of the project cycle from advance tender information, guidance in preparation of competitive bids
to providing financial facilities, including loans and guarantees. It extends funded and non-funded
facilities for overseas industrial turnkey projects, civil construction contracts, as well as technical and
consultancy service contracts. Exim Bank has in place a specialised cell to provide advance information to
Indian companies on projects being funded by multilateral funding agencies in various countries. Over
the past two decades, increasing number of projects have been executed by Indian companies in North
Africa, West Asia, South & South East Asia, CIS and Latin America.
The Reserve Bank of India has simplified the procedures for project and service exports, such as
deployment of temporary cash surpluses and inter-project transfer of machinery and funds. These
measures, first announced in the Mid-Term Review of Annual Policy Statement for 2006-07, will provide
more flexibility to exporters. The RBI said that the measures were subject to monitoring by banks.
Exporters will now be allowed to use the machinery or equipment used for a turnkey or construction
abroad, for executing a contract in another country. Currently, exporters are required to dispose of the
equipment, machinery, vehicles purchased abroad or arrange their import into India after completion of
the contracts. If it has to be used for another overseas project, the market value should be recovered
from the second project. Under the modified procedures, the RBI has permitted exporters to deploy their
temporary cash surpluses, generated outside India, in instruments such as deposits with overseas
branches or subsidiaries of a bank in India, a triple `A' rate short term paper abroad, including treasury
bills and other monetary instruments with a maturity or remaining maturity of one year or less. Now,
exporters are required to approach the RBI for overseas deployment of their temporary cash surpluses.
The apex bank has also permitted exporters to open, maintain and operate one or more foreign currency
account in a currency of their choice with inter-project transferability of funds in any currency or country.

The Deira Corniche scheme was approved by Dubai’s crown prince in May
Dubai Municipality has awarded the local Overseas Ast the AED226.5m ($62m) contract to build new

The other companies that took part in the tender included Geneva-registered Archirodon Construction,

Bachy, and the UK’s Kier.
The consultant is US-based Aecom.

Investments was planning to build a marina with residential units in the area. It had started to
commission consultants and contractors for the scheme before it was put on hold in 2009.
The US’ Fluor was the project manager and the UK’s Hyder prepared the masterplan. Halcrow, also of the

Japanese group wins Iraq water treatment deal
18 June 2012, By Adal Mirza
Hitachi Plant Technologies and Sumitomo to build pilot plant for Iraq oil sector
Japan’s Hitachi Plant Technologies and Sumitomo Corporation have signed an agreement with Iraq’s
South Oil Company (SOC) for the development of a water treatment system for the country’s upstream
oil sector.
The firms will install a pilot system developed by Hitachi at an SOC oil field, according to a 14 June
company statement.
Hitachi will carry out the engineering, construction, operation, and maintenance of the water treatment
system. Sumitomo acts as the contact point with the Iraq government and will market the technology
from its Baghdad office. The firm was prequalified for Iraq’s fourth oil and gas licensing round at the end
of May.
The treatment system will deal with ‘produced water’, which is formed from groundwater mixed with
crude oil during extraction and water injected into oil wells to extract the oil.
It contains various chemical components, such as salts, organic oxides and heavy metals and is normally
either re-injected into the oil well or discharged.
Jordan signs wastewater treatment plant expansion
14 June 2012, 9:42 GMT | By Verity Ratcliffe
As-Samra wastewater treatment plant capacity to increase by 97,800 cubic metres a day
Jordan’s Water and Irrigation Ministry has signed an agreement with the sponsors of the As-Samra
wastewater treatment plant.
The expansion will increase the capacity of the project from 267,000 cubic meters a day (cm/d) to
364,800 cm/d and will be constructed and maintained under a 25-year build-operate-transfer (BOT)
contract.
The project will cost $184.3m, of which $93m will be provided through a grant from the US government’s
Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC). The remainder will be provided by France’s Suez Environment,
the US’ Infilco Degremont and the US’ Morganti Group and a syndicate of lenders led by Jordan’s Arab
Bank.
The project will serve residential populations of Amman and Zarqa governorates and will assist
agricultural farmers in the area. The plant’s expansion is expected to take 36 months and will begin in
August.
In addition to the capacity expansion, the new project will be capable of “[handling] suspended solids and
biological materials, among other critical treatment requirements”, according to Basem Telfah, project
management unit director, Water and Irrigation Ministry.

Global Project Opportunities: July, 2012
Payments from the project are based on availability and treatment. A minimum payment is guaranteed
by the water ministry for availability of 160,000 cm/d for the existing plant and 220,000 cm/d once the
expansion project becomes operational. A treatment payment is paid on top of this value. The payments
are guaranteed by the Finance Ministry.
The original As-Samra wastewater project comprised a series of waste stabilisation ponds in 1985 with a
capacity of 67,000 cm/d. The government decided to replace the plant with a more technologicallyadvanced structure with a greater capacity.
The government tendered for the construction of a 267,000 cm/d wastewater treatment plant in early
2001. The plant was offered as a 25-year concession with a build-own-transfer structure. The project cost
$169m to build, around half of which was supplied by the US Agency for International Development
($78.1m). The remainder came from government resources ($13.9m), the project company ($17m) and
banks ($60m).
Construction began in 2004 and finished in April 2008. While the existing project has a capacity of
267,000 cm/d, it currently cannot treat more than 220,000 cm/d.
The expansion project was announced in early 2009. An advisory group comprising the Netherlands’
KPMG, the UK’s Atkins and UK-based firm Allen & Overy was selected to work on the expansion project at
the end of 2009.
CCC wins wastewater contract in Oman
27 May 2012, 10:24 GMT | By Verity Ratcliffe
Wastewater contract will cover work in the Bausher area of Muscat Governorate
Oman’s Haya Water has awarded a RO26.7m ($70m) contract to Athens-based Consolidated Contractors
Company (CCC) to carry out a water reuse project in the Qurum and Ilam areas of Bausher in Muscat
Governorate.
The 30-month contract covers the construction of 40 kilometres of sewer pipes, 66km of lateral pipes and
10km of treated effluent irrigation channel. The project also includes the design and construction of 13
minor network pumping stations, with flow rates ranging from 3-120 litres a second, as well as rising
mains that will take effluent to a gravity sewer network.
CCC submitted the lowest bid for the contract in December 2011 with a bid of RO29.09m (MEED
11:12:11). The second-lowest prices of RO31.4m and RO29.97 were submitted by Dubai-based Arabtec
Engineering Services. Kuwait’s United Gulf Construction Company was the other bidder with a price of
RO54.80m.
The contract will cover an area of 140 square kilometres and will serve about 120,000 people in
Bausher’s Al-llam and Al-Qurum suburbs. Through the project, Haya Water intends to establish an
efficient sewerage network to replace the current system of using hundreds of tankers daily to empty
septic and holding tanks. The project is one of six water reuse developments. The other projects will be
carried out at Seeb, Muscat, Muttrah, Amerat and Quriyat.

Sri Lanka: First Chinese-built port opens for business
Wednesday 6 June 2012
COLOMBO: Sri Lanka's first Chinese-built port, a strong symbol of Beijing's investment in South Asia,
opened for international shipping yesterday with the arrival of 1,000 cars from India.
The $1.5-billion deep-sea port in southern Hambantota, the home constituency of President Mahinda
Rajapakse, straddles a major east-west shipping lane used by 200-300 international vessels daily.
The project, which was delayed by just over a year, was conceived to create a new logistics hub to
handle transshipments from Asia and provide a boost to Sri Lanka's economy as it recovers from decades
of civil war.
Regional power India turned down an offer to construct the port soon after Rajapakse came to power in
2005 saying it was not commercially viable, but China's presence has created unease in New Delhi.
India views Sri Lanka as being firmly within its sphere of influence and has been concerned about China
getting a foothold there and in other surrounding countries.China loaned money for the port and
construction was led by Chinese engineers and workers, but the facility is managed exclusively by Sri
Lankans."We have a vast area of land for storage at the port. This we can offer to car manufacturers in
Asia to hold their stocks," Authority Chairman Priyath Wickrama told AFP, adding that there was also
space for car assembly around the port.
He hopes to raise the number of vehicles handled at Hambantota — 240 kilometres (150 miles) south of
the capital Colombo — to one million within five years.
China is also building a second port in Colombo and Chinese firms have pledged investments amounting
to $50 billion spread over the next 10 to 15 years, according to Sri Lanka's trade ministry.
Elsewhere in South Asia, China has funded port facilities in Pakistan, a long-standing ally, and has plans
for rail projects in Nepal, a traditionally India-aligned country where Beijing is increasingly influential.
Bangladesh has asked for Chinese help to build a port and Beijing in November 2011 opened an embassy
for the first time in the Maldives.
According to Charu Lata Hogg, an analyst at London-based think-tank Chatham House, India has come to
terms with China's rise.
"There seems to be a tacit understanding that their commercial interests can be complementary," Hogg
told AFP. "Indian cars going through a Chinese-built port in Sri Lanka reveals a lot about this
relationship."
The first consignment of cars yesterday came from Hyundai's plant in the auto hub around the city of
Chennai in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu and is destined for Algeria.
The South Korean car maker's local shipping agent Aitken Spence said the volume of Hyundai vehicles in
Hambantota "is expected to grow substantially with three to four vehicle carriers expected to call each
month".
Hyundai, one of the world's top five car makers, will store up to 10,000 cars at a time in Hambantota
which will be shipped to Europe, Africa and other destinations.

Elaf Group build four new hotels in the Kingdom
Arab News 26 June 2012
The Elaf Group of Companies, a leader in Saudi travel, tourism and hospitality, has announced the
commencement of construction of four new hotels in Saudi Arabia. The total construction cost of these
new projects has been valued at SR 400 million and will be located across Makkah, Madinah and Jeddah.
The announcement follows Elaf Group's recent achievement of a 30 percent revenue increase during the
first quarter of 2012 over the same quarter last year, and has given the group the confidence to double
the
number
of
its
hotel
rooms
to
5,000
before
the
yearend.
"The announcement of these four new projects is in line with our efforts to expand our investment
portfolio. The new hotels, which are aimed for completion from 2012 to 2014 depending on property,
include the Elaf Bakkah and the Elaf Al Kawthar in Makkah, the Elaf Galleria in Jeddah and another hotel
in Madinah to be named later. These projects are part of our continuous efforts to address the demands
of the increasing number of tourists visiting the Kingdom. We will remain steadfast in our commitment to
support the government's move to promote Saudi tourism and help the sector become a major
contributor to the country's economy," said, Ziyad Bin Mahfouz, President of Elaf Group.
According to the Elaf Group, the company's robust growth over the first three months of 2012 can be
attributed to their continuing initiatives to provide best-in-class tourism services and contribute to the
Kingdom's move towards tourism and sustainable development. Moreover, the company has reaffirmed
its core focus on playing a major part in the country's efforts toward Saudization, which aims to provide
more
Saudi
nationals
with
employment
opportunities
in
the
tourism
sector.
"Our ultimate goal is to strengthen the Kingdom's presence and position in the international tourism
market, making it a prime global tourist destination," Bin Mahfouz said.
Saudi developers focus on affordable housing sector
Majority of the developers in Saudi Arabia are focusing more on the affordable housing segment for lower
and middle-income classes than on luxury villas and higher-end housing schemes, a new research report
by RNCOS said. The housing demand in the country is projected to reach around 0.33 million units by the
end of 2014.The report, "Saudi Arabia Housing Sector Outlook", said Saudi Arabia is thriving with new
mega project developments. Small-sized players, who are developing standalone properties of average
value under $50 billion, rule the supply of residential properties, while large-scale residential projects are
dominated by mega cities. Viewing the long-term property demand in the country, innovative residential
development projects are now ongoing in North Riyadh and Jeddah. These projects are mostly divided
into commercial, industrial and residential units, tourism spots and shopping malls, with the majority part
occupied by residential development plans resulting into an immense growth in the sector. Saudi Arabia
will need to construct over 1 million houses by 2014. This demand could further escalate, if the mortgage
law to ensure easy financing is enacted in the country’s legislature, the report added. The Saudi Arabian
housing industry has come up as the one of the most vibrant segment of the real-estate industry. Despite
the 2009 economic turmoil, the Saudi housing industry witnessed remarkable growth opportunities and
became one of the fastest growing housing industries in the Middle-East region. The housing industry in
Saudi Arabia has also seen remarkable growth in the past due to the emergence of a number of realestate developers, the growing demand for real-estate finance, and residential property, the report said.
Over a period of time, young population-base, government funding, and booming economy, together with
other secondary factors have led to provide the preferred platform for the housing industry to develop
new horizons. A separate study noted that selling prices of ready to move in residential units and land
continued their upward move during 2011 in both Riyadh and Jeddah driven by stringent supply shortage
coupled with affordability constraints. Villa and apartment prices increased by 8-10 percent on average in
Riyadh while Jeddah witnessed a more aggressive increase of 13-15 percent. Rental yields expanded in
Riyadh versus a year earlier to 8.4 percent up from 7.9 percent for villas and 7.8 percent from 7.4
percent for 2-bedroom apartments. In Jeddah, yields contracted to 8.8 percent for villas from 9.1 percent
in 4Q10 while those for 2-bedroom apartments shrank from 11.5 percent to 10.8 percent as property
prices increase faster than rent, which indicates potential for further rent appreciation in 2012.
Selling prices and rentals are expected to maintain their upward move given the persistent supply
shortage of affordable units along with the country’s young and growing population. The increase in the
58
Global Project Opportunities: July, 2012
REDF loan from SR300,000 to SR500,000 and the added flexibility that allows utilizing the full loan
amount to purchase ready units will stimulate demand for residential apartments.

World’s tallest tower in Jeddah to be ready in 63 months
Jeddah's Kingdom Tower, set to become the world’s tallest building, will be completed in 63
months, according to Kingdom Holding Company (KHC) Chairman Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.
His remarks came as the Jeddah Economic Company (JEC) yesterday announced a capital increase from
SR7.3 billion to SR8.8 billion for the mega project that includes the 1,000m high Kingdom Tower. Prince
Alwaleed, who initiated and has been the driving force behind the decision to build the tower, announced
an investment of SR1.5 billion from the Saudi Binladin Group (SBG) for a 16.63 percent stake in Jeddah
Economic Company, owner of the Jeddah mega project. The Kingdom Tower will be the centerpiece and
the first construction phase of Kingdom City Jeddah — new urban development of more than 5.3 million
sq m of land in the north of Jeddah, overlooking the Red Sea and Obhur Creek. The contract for
construction of the tower was signed with SBG for SR4.6 billion ($1.2 billion) and the overall estimated
cost of the entire Kingdom City Jeddah project is anticipated to be SR75 billion ($20 billion). The Jeddah
Economic Company was set up in 2009 to develop the Kingdom City. Its partners are Kingdom Holding
Company (a stake of 33.35 percent), Saudi Binladin Group with (16.63 percent stake), Abraar
International Holding Company represented by Samaual Bakhsh (33.35 percent stake) and prominent
Jeddah businessman Abdulrahman Hassan Sharbatly (16.67 percent stake).
GCC investment in water projects to hit over $300b.
Spurred by a buoyant economy and population growth, over $300 billion will be invested in the GCC
water and desalination projects, between 2012-2022 periods, researchandmarkets.com reported The
emergence of alternative power sources will enable GCC nations to successfully diversify their economic
growth from a predominantly oil based economy thus bracing themselves against future adversities
arising from oil fluctuations, the report noted. Renewable energies are about to capture a considerable
segment of the global energy mix. This segment is only likely to grow given rising demand for energy,
supply worries with regard to fossil fuels and environmental concerns. In particular solar energy offer
huge potential for the GCC countries. Rising domestic energy needs for power generation and
desalination, favorable conditions for solar energy production and interest in acquiring technological
know-how make a perfect argument for renewable energy in the Gulf. All six nations of the GCC have
either embarked upon or committed to investments in solar projects, with projects split between solar
photovoltaic and solar thermal applications. The GCC region also has considerable wind resources, even
though these vary widely across the countries and wind installations are at a less developed stage than
their solar counterparts.
Multibillion projects under way in Jazan
The Jazan Municipality is implementing a number of key development and tourism projects in
the region. Most important among them is King Abdullah Residential Suburb. During a visit to
Jazan Province in June, 2006, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah approved setting up of
the suburb over a total area of 80 million sq. meters, north of Jazan city. The suburb includes more than
40,000 residential units, which will be allotted to Saudi citizens.The suburb would have all the advanced
infrastructure facilities and world-class utility services, in addition to commercial centers and fun cities. It
is estimated that the suburb's infrastructure, which is under various phases of implementation, would
cost a total of SR 7.5 billion, of which SR1.5 billion has been allocated in the municipality’s current year
budget. The general department for water has allocated SR296 million to implement water networks and
connections to houses, and another SR170 million to implement sewage networks and sewage treatment
plant in the suburb. The municipality, in coordination with Saudi Electricity Company and Saudi Telecom
Company, is implementing utility projects. It is keen to complete the projects in a record time while
ensuring top quality. Works on infrastructure projects for the housing units are under way, and this is in
coordination with the Ministry of Housing. The municipality is also implementing a tourism resort on the
Amina Coral Island, located southwest of Jazan city and 15 km from Jazan port. The project, the first of
its kind in promoting island tourism in the Kingdom, is spread on an area of 1.14 sq. kms. The plan for
the Amina Coral Island Project, visualized by the Ministry of Rural and Municipal Affairs, was developed
by Jazan Tourism Development Council. It is noteworthy that the municipality has offered nearly 150
investment opportunities in the tourism investment sector, and this included establishment of tourism
shelters, commercial centers, restaurants and recreational facilities.

Abu Dhabi launches Mirfa IWPP tender
27 June 2012, 9:32 GMT | By Verity Ratcliffe
Mirfa IWPP will have a capacity of 1,500MW of power and 53MIGD of water
Abu Dhabi Water & Electricity Authority (Adwea) has invited expressions of interest (EoIs) to developers
to build the emirate’s next independent water and power project (IWPP) at Mirfa.
The winning bidder will take a 40 per cent in a special purpose vehicle (SPV) for the IWPP which will have
a capacity of 1,500MW of power and 53MIGD of water. Adwea will hold a 60 per cent stake in the project.
The project will comprise several parts. The developer will own, develop, finance, construct, operate and
maintain a greenfield power plant with a net capacity of 1,100MW together with a 30MIGD reverse
osmosis desalination plant.
In addition to the greenfield work, the developer will be responsible for taking over certain existing assets
of Mirfa Power Company. It will also install four existing open cycle gas turbines, each with a capacity of
about 100MW. Federal Electricity and Water Authority (Fewa) purchased the turbines from the US’ GE in
February 2005 before they were transported to Mirfa in 2009. The SPV will be responsible for integrating
three 7.5MIGD desalination units, which were installed by Italy’s Fisia Italimpianti, into the new plant.
The project will be built at Mirfa, a site located around 120 kilometres from Abu Dhabi. It will be built
within Adwea’s existing power and desalination complex. Adwea is responsible for decommissioning and
demolishing its existing assets at the Mirfa site. Power from the project will be bought by Abu Dhabi
Water and Electricity Company (Adwec) under a long-term power and water purchase agreement. Adwec
will supply the project with gas feedstock.
Developers are to submit EoIs by 15 July. They will then be issued with a request for qualification.
Statements of qualification will be submitted by 10 September. Most of the power is expected to be
commissioned by summer 2015. The schedule is driven by Adwec’s expectation that power demand will
increase by 11.3 per cent a year between 2011 and 2015 and by 13.6 per cent a year once electricity
exports are included.
The increase will be driven primarily by the anticipated increase in power needs from Abu Dhabi National
Oil Company (Adnoc) and electricity exports to the UAE’s northern emirates, which will together account
for two-thirds of demand growth up to 2015. Abu Dhabi’s water needs are also growing and are expected
to double between 2011 and 2030.
Before selecting the Mirfa site, Adwea had considered building the project at Taweelah. It also considered
a site in the UAE’s northern emirates for its next IWPP. Speaking about the site selection, Adwea director
general Abdulla Saif Al-Nuaimi said, “The Mirfa site has a number of advantages for the rehabilitation and
upgrading of the plants capacity including the strategic location between the high demand areas of Tarif
and Liwa, as well as the nitrogen gas plant currently under construction through Adnoc that will require
approximately 200MW of power.”
61
Global Project Opportunities: July, 2012
The decision to use reverse osmosis for the desalination component of the project is significant and was
driven by the expectation that nuclear power will be introduced to the network from 2018. “The project
offers flexibility to Abu Dhabi’s generation and desalination system in the future through the
implementation of reverse osmosis technology, particularly when nuclear is expected to come online,”
says Al-Nuaimi.
Adwea is advised by the UK’s HSBC and US law firm White & Case for Mirfa IWPP. This is Abu Dhabi’s
tenth independent project. Abu Dhabi has eight IWPPs, of which four were assets sales, and one
independent power project (IPP) that are currently under construction or in operation.
Heritage Oil plans northern Iraq gas pipeline
24 June 2012| By Adal Mirza
Pipeline will run for 320 kilometres from Miran field in Kurdistan region to Turkish border
UK-based Heritage Oil is planning to build a natural gas export pipeline from its operations at the Miran
field in the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq to the Turkish border.
Studies are under way for conceptual development of a 320-kilometre pipeline, along with a gas
marketing strategy and plans for the development field, according to a 21 June company statement.
Early production is expected to begin in 2013, with a target of between 80-180 million cubic feet a day
(cf/d) of gas for the local market, along with 10,000-15,000 barrels a day (b/d) of crude oil and
condensates. The full field development would include an integrated development of the oil, gas and
condensate with export of the gas production to Turkey by 2015.
Heritage Energy Middle East, a subsidiary of Heritage Oil, signed a production-sharing contract with the
Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in October 2007. As the operator of the block, it holds a 75 per
cent stake in the Miran licence, while Turkey’s Genel Energy holds the remaining 25 per cent.
The Miran Block contains two large fields, Miran West and Miran East, which cover about 200 square
kilometres and 130 sq km respectively. Drilling at the Miran West-2 appraisal well began in November
2009. The company estimates the Miran West structure to have between 6.8 trillion-9.1 trillion cubic feet
(cf) of gas, while Miran East has as much as 0.9 trillion cf.
After successful tests at the Miran West-3 well, Heritage now plans to drill a third appraisal well. The
Miran West-3 well tested flow rates of up to 22 million cf/d. This will be the fifth well drilled on the Miran
block and the third appraisal of the western structure.
The Miran West-4 appraisal well will test the potential of oil in the Upper Cretaceous reservoir, at depths
of up to 1,550 metres. One complete, before the end of the year Heritage plans to test the oil reservoirs
for a minimum of six months. The company plans to sell up to 5,000 b/d into the local market in the
Kurdistan region.

Dh435m road construction contracts awarded
(Wam) / 24 June 2012
The Follow-up Committee of Initiatives of the UAE President has approved awarding two contracts for the
construction of the Ras Al Khaimah Ring Road and phase 1 of Khorfakkan Western Ring Road at a total
cost of Dh435 million.
The projects are being implemented in line with the directives of the President, His Highness Shaikh
Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and the following up of General Shaikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan,
Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces.
The committee, headed by Deputy Presidential Affairs Minister Ahmed Juma Al Zaabi, was briefed about
the two projects by the technical subcommittee overseeing progress of the projects being implemented
under the initiatives.
The Dh398 million Ras Al Khaimah Ring Road is a 32-kilometre arterial extension of the proposed Umm Al
Quwain express highway. The project is scheduled for completion in two years. The road will have three
lanes in each direction, separated by a 12-metre wide median barrier that could be used in the future to
add a fourth lane in both directions.
The four-kilomtre Khorfakkan Western Ring Road will serve as an alternative to vehicles going to and
from Khorfakkan Port and other cities in the country. The Dh35-million road will have two fully lit lanes in
each direction.
Japan increases exposure to GCC power and water projects
20 June 2012, 7:19 GMT | By Verity Ratcliffe
Japanese export credit agency’s first exposure to private power and water schemes was in 2005
Japanese export credit agency (ECA) Japan Bank for International Cooperation (Jbic) has increased its
exposure to the Gulf’s independent power projects (IPPs) and independent water and power projects
(IWPPs) over the past decade.
Jbic’s first investment in the GCC I(W)PP market came in April 2005, when it provided $1.243bn for the
UAE’s Taweelah B IWPP. Japanese firms Marubeni and JGC Corporation were selected to develop the
project by Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (Adwea) and Jbic’s support for the project was
instrumental in securing the contract. Jbic’s next GCC investment was in Bahrain on the Al-Hidd IWPP.
Japan’s Sumitomo was selected to develop the project and Jbic supplied a $593m loan for the project.
The following year saw significant investment by Jbic in its power and water sector. In 2007 alone, the
company provided loans totalling $2.272bn for I(W)PPs in the GCC. The largest of the loans was made
towards the Fujairah F2 IWPP. Marubeni was the developer in this case and Jbic supplied $1.336bn. Jbic
also provided $836m funding to Qatar’s Mesaieed IPP. Marubeni and Japanese utilities provider Chubu
Electric Power built the project.
Jbic then went on to finance another project in Qatar, Ras Laffan C IWPP, commissioned in 2011. Jbic
supplied $1.5bn in August 2008 for the project, which was constructed by Japan’s Mitsui, Shikoku Electric
Power and Chubu Electric Power.
64
Global Project Opportunities: July, 2012
Jbic followed this by financing the UAE’s Shuweihat S2 IWPP and Shuweihat S3 IPP, developed by
Marubeni and Sumitomo respectively (along with other developers). Jbic provided $1.511bn in total for
the projects. Most recently, Marubeni and Chubu Electric won a contract to build an IPP at Sur in Oman.
Jbic supported the financing with a $697m loan.
In effect, Jbic has increased its exposure to the Middle East nearly six times since early-2006. By 2015,
the company estimates it will have financed projects that contribute 12.4 per cent of the power and 10.6
per cent of the water needs of the GCC.
Of the current total, about 53 per cent of Jbic’s GCC I(W)PP loans have been for projects in the UAE. If
Dubai had gone through with its Hassyan IPP plans and selected Marubeni’s consortium to build it, this
figure would be higher. Bahrain loans represent 7 per cent of the total, 10 per cent for Oman’s projects
and Qatar has received 30 per cent of the total. A notable omission is Saudi Arabia, where Japanese
companies have yet to secure a major I(W)PP contract.
There are two reasons for the increase in Jbic’s investment. Firstly, the GCC’s increasing power demands
are such that it is a promising market for developers and contractors from Japan, and therefore a priority
for the country’s largest ECA. Secondly, there is a fuel security incentive. Japan receives about 86.6 per
cent of its oil from the Middle East. Saudi Arabia represents the largest exporter to Japan at 30.4 per cent
of Japan’s imports, but the UAE is only marginally behind at 23.2 per cent. Therefore, the closer Japan
can tie itself to its oil partners, the better.
These two drivers are unlikely to change in the near future and competitive bids to build new I(W)PP
capacity from Japanese companies with financing from Jbic can be expected to continue.
Companies line up for Oman gas pipeline supply deal
18 June 2012, | By Mark Watts
Oman Gas Company to receive bids for pipe supply on 230km Duqm project
Several companies are preparing to bid for a contract to supply the carbon pipes for a 230-kilometre gas
pipeline project in central Oman.
The project, operated by state-owned Oman Gas Company, will link the Saih Nihayda gas field to the
Duqm Special Economic Zone on Oman’s central Wusta coast. The 32-inch pipeline will have a capacity of
12 million cubic metres a day.
About 25 international and local companies have collected the bid documents for the pipe supply deal
with the turnout dominated by Asian companies, according to the Oman Daily Observer.
The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the estimated $210m project is
expected to be tendered in the fourth quarter of 2012, with the scheme targeted for completion in early
2017.
The pipeline is expected to supply a new power plant and a major refinery and petrochemicals project
being planned in Duqm.
Saudi Arabia to invite bids for renewables projects

Bids for 2,850MW Saudi renewable energy projects to be invited in first quarter of 2013
65
Global Project Opportunities: July, 2012
King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy (KA-Care) is preparing to invite bids to develop
2,850MW of renewable energy projects. KA-Care will issue a draft request for proposals (RFP) by the
third quarter of 2012 and developers will be invited to comment on the programme in June. A final RFP
will be issued in the first quarter of 2013.
This will be the first round of renewable energy projects procured by KA-Care. About 1,100MW is to be
developed as photovoltaic solar, 900MW as concentrated solar power, 650MW as wind projects and
200MW from other sources, including geothermal and waste-to-energy.
A second round of procurement will be carried out in 2013 and 2014. In this round, KA-Care will target
about 1,300MW of photovoltaic solar power capacity, 1,200MW of concentrated solar power, 1,050MW of
wind power and 250MW in other renewable energy projects.

Source: KA-Care
In both rounds, developers will be asked to submit proposals for projects of at least 5MW in capacity and
the developers will be responsible for site selection. All of the projects will be developed as independent
power projects (IPPs) with 20-year power purchase agreements signed with each of the private power
developers.
KA-Care will establish a sustainable energy procurement company (SEPC) to arrange and oversee the
procurement process before the RFP is issued. Procurement will take about 6-8 months in both cases.
The proposals will be assessed in three phases and will be judged according to a points system, taking
into account financial capability, experience, development status, proposed power price and the amount
of work that will be carried out locally.
KA-Care plans to agree on a funding mechanism for at least the first round of procurement before the
RFP is issued. The National Grid Company will start work on reinforcing the power distribution network
immediately in preparation for accepting renewable power into the grid.
Once two rounds of procurement have been completed, KA-Care will consider introducing a universal
feed-in tariff for renewable power. KA-Care has said that it will implement a feed-in tariff so long as it
believes that base costs for renewable power will not be markedly different over the following two years
and the projects in the first two rounds are completed to a satisfactory standard and to schedule. If
either condition is not met, KA-Care will carry out a third round of procurement instead of a feed-in tariff.
Once a decision to introduce a feed-in tariff has been made, KA-Care intends to identify acceptable
project sizes and technologies within two months. KA-Care will propose feed-in tariff prices in the
following month. Once the feed-in tariff has been in place for three years, KA-Care will carry out a review
of the tariff. It will then carry out a review every three years after that to allow tariff levels to be adjusted
to respond to the market.
Through its procurement and feed-in tariff plans, KA-Care is keen to promote localisation in the value
chain. About 78 per cent of Saudi Arabia’s spending on renewable energy to 2030 is intended to benefit
local companies. Of this, 56 per cent will be in services and 22 per cent in manufacturing.
The renewable energy procurement plans and proposed feed-in tariff are part of Saudi Arabia’s plans to
develop 54.1GW of renewable power by 2030, including 41GW from solar power. About 16GW would use
photovoltaic solar technology and 25GW would use concentrated solar power, or 4.4-5.5 per cent and
11.7-17.2 per cent of the country’s electricity mix respectively.
66
Global Project Opportunities: July, 2012
Besides KA-Care’s plans, the Royal Commission for Yanbu has outlined its own plans for renewable
energy. It intends to generate 10 per cent of its energy needs from sustainable resources by 2020. About
3 per cent of the target is hoped to be achieved through renewable power projects and the remaining 7
per cent will come from energy efficiency measures.
Al-Rayadah prepares to tender infrastructure package on Jeddah housing development
13 June 2012, | By Andrew Roscoe
Client expected to issue tender documents on Jeddah housing scheme before Ramadan in July
The local Al-Rayadah Investment Company (RIC) is preparing to tender the first infrastructure and
earthworks package on a 2.4 million-square-metre mixed-use residential project in the Obhur district of
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The client is currently preparing the tender and is expected to issue documents before Ramadan, which
will start on about 20 July.
Al-Rayadah received prequalification entries for the infrastructure package on the residential scheme
earlier in the year and is planning to issue tender documents in the next four weeks. The local Saud
Consult has been appointed as infrastructure consultant on the scheme and is currently working with the
client to finalise designs before the package is put out to tender.
Due to severe flooding that has occurred in the Obhur district in recent years, the earthworks will involve
moving a substantial amount of earth to raise the site and protect it from future floods.
In January, the local office of KEO International was awarded a contract to provide project management
services for the design and construction on the Obhur scheme, which will include 250 residential
apartment buildings, 1,200 villas, a five-star hotel, hospital, clinics, mosques, commercial district, schools
and municipal buildings. The development is scheduled to house about 10,000 people by the time it is
completed.
The client, Al-Rayadah Investment Company, is becoming an increasingly major player in the kingdom’s
construction sector. One of the largest developments that it is currently executing is the King Abdullah
Financial District (KAFD) project in Riyadh.
KAFD is located on a 1.6 million sq m site north of Riyadh and will offer commercial and residential
districts along with hospitality, retail and recreational facilities. The financial district is one of the largest
megaprojects currently under construction in the kingdom, with more than $6.2bn-worth of construction
contracts having already been awarded on the scheme.

Kuwait has a number of major road schemes planned as it seeks to upgrade and expand its transport
infrastructure. In February, the assistant undersecretary of the Public Works Ministry for Roads, Saud alNaqi, said that KD4bn ($14bn) had been allocated to implement 88 road projects over the next five
years.
Although a number of smaller road packages were tendered in 2011, the Public Works Ministry has not
tendered or awarded any large road projects since late 2010.
In December 2010, the ministry awarded a $840m contract to a consortium of the local Boodai
Construction Company, Italy’s Rizzani de Eccher, Spain’s OHL and Italy’s Trevi Group to build a road and
related infrastructure in the West Shuwaikh area of Kuwait. The work involves the construction of an
elevated 11-kilometre-long road, with linked roads, paths and rainwater drainage systems at Gamal
Abdel Nasser street.
Earlier in 2010, a joint venture of Kuwait Arab Contractors and Egypt’s Arab Contractors was awarded an
estimated $965m contract for the project to upgrade the 7.2km Jahra road.
One of the major planned road schemes that has been in the pipeline for a number of years is the
Nawaseeb road project. The work will involve upgrading the current 42km-long road into a six-lane
divided highway, with five interchanges and grade separated U-turns. In 2008, the ministry appointed
68
Global Project Opportunities: July, 2012
the US-based Parsons Brinckerhoff to provide design and construction management services for the
project. The Nawaseeb road, also known as Route 40, links Kuwait with Saudi Arabia and is a major trade
crossing between the two states.
In addition to traditional road schemes, the Public Works Ministry will oversee the construction of a
couple of planned major causeway projects in the next few years.
According to sources in Kuwait, the government is expected to formally approve the contract award to
build the $2.6bn Subiya Causeway in the next few months. The causeway will link Kuwait City with the
Subiya promontory and Bubiyan Island, where various major projects are proposed. The planned
causeway will be 37.5km long and incorporate a bridge spanning 150-200 metres.
The contract to build the planned Subiya causeway was approved by Kuwait’s Central Tenders Committee
(CTC) in February 2011, but has still not been awarded. CTC approved the $2.6bn low bid from the
consortium headed by South Korea’s Hyundai Engineering & Construction Company for the main
construction package after receiving bids from contractors in October 2010.
The ministry recently invited prequalified consortiums to submit bids for the contract to design and build
the estimated $1bn Doha Link bridge, which will link Shuwaikh to the port village of Doha in the Jahra
region of Kuwait.
Prequalified consortiums have until 27 November to submit bids for the tender. The proposed Doha Link
bridge will be about 16km long and will link up with the planned Subiya Causeway project. The bridge will
contain three traffic lanes and an emergency lane in each direction.

Sunday 10 June 2012
Makkah Gov. Prince Khaled Al-Faisal yesterday concluded his inspection tour of Turba and Khorma and
reviewed progress of work on new development projects worth SR 2.64 billion in the two cities.
In Khorma, new development projects valued at more than SR 1.28 billion are under implementation, an
official report said. Twenty-six projects worth SR 140 million have already been completed including five
69
Global Project Opportunities: July, 2012
electricity projects, two water, two health, 11 municipal and five education projects.
"These
projects
include
a
health
center
and
a
dialysis
unit,"
the
report
said.
Speaking about ongoing projects in the city, the report said 23 projects valued at SR 616 million are
under construction. They include three road projects, three housing projects, 11 municipal projects and
three educational projects. "A total 260 housing units will be constructed in the first phase of the housing
project," the report pointed out.
The government has approved 26 new projects valued at SR 532 million in Khorma, including a central
transformer station east of Taif, a secondary industrial institute, a strategic water storage tank and
additional classrooms for the College of Girls.
The Turba Local Council yesterday presented a memorandum to the governor demanding establishment
of a branch of Taif University. They also called for increasing the capacity of Turba Hospital from 30 to
200 beds, expanding telecom facilities, opening of a branch of the Finance Ministry and Saudi Credit
Bank, police and civil defense offices in Hashraj, Shaar, Alba, Arqain, Qawama, Khalediya, Asla, Alawa
and Khodaira and implementation Kharma-Turba two-way road and the Riyadh-Taif expressway.
Khaled Al-Ruwais, chief administrator of Turba, said Prince Khaled's visit would boost the city's
development. "Last year, Prince Khaled reviewed the progress of work on 38 projects. He also allocated
four million cubic meters of land for a housing project and approved a residential district for limitedincome people," he said. The upgrading of the city from B to A category would accelerate its
development, he added.
Prince Khaled began his tour from Turba and reviewed the progress of work on a number of new
development projects valued at SR 1.35 billion. The ongoing projects in Turba include construction of
preliminary, intermediate and secondary schools, construction of a bridge over Turba Valley, asphalting
and lighting of roads and streets, renovation of the vegetable market, flood-prevention projects and new
electricity connections.
"The Khorma Council presented a number of new projects to the governor including establishment of a
university campus and new colleges for dentistry, administrative sciences and engineering. They also
wanted an institute of science and technical colleges for boys and girls," the report said.
The people of Khorma are also looking for the setting up of a literary club in the city to promote culture
and literary work and institute a prize for creativity. They also want a public library, summer camps, an
annual
book
exhibition
and
cultural
contests
for
students.
A committee to settle disputes between individuals and families, a committee for the protection of women
and children from violence, a center for taking care of people of special needs, a center for the treatment
of drug addicts and an office of the national committee for taking care of prisoners are their other
demands.
Haram expansion to house 1.5m worshippers

Monday 4 June 2012
Dr. Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais, head of the Presidency for the Two Holy Mosques, yesterday inspected the
progress of work on the largest expansion of the Grand Mosque in Makkah and said the new facility would
accommodate 1.5 million worshippers.He commended Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah
for initiating the SR 80 billion project, the largest in the mosque’s history, as part of the government’s
efforts to enhance facilities for the millions of pilgrims who come for Haj and Umrah.
“A number of new projects have been implemented inside the mosque and in the masaa (the running
area between Safa and Marwa mountains), helping pilgrims perform their religious rituals easily,” said AlSudais,
who
was
appointed
chief
of
the

Yahya Binladin, deputy chairman of the Binladin Group, briefed Al-Sudais on the advanced systems being
introduced in the new expansion to ensure the smooth flow of pilgrims, especially during peak seasons.
70
Global Project Opportunities: July, 2012
There are advanced security monitoring and garbage disposal systems in addition to sunshades in
courtyards around the mosque. The new extension will be linked to the existing building with bridges. It
will
be

system.
Al-Sudais’ tour covered the service station, which is being implemented on an area of 75,000 sq. meters.
It will have environmentally-friendly air-conditioning systems, water tanks and garbage disposal systems.
He commended the efforts of workers and supervisors to complete the project on schedule.
King Abdullah laid the foundation stone for the massive project last August and dedicated it to the Islamic
world. Covering an area of 456,000 sq. meters in the northwest and northeast of the mosque, the project
includes construction of a new building and expansion and development of courtyards around the
mosque.A 1,200-meter long tunnel will be constructed from the end of the expansion passing through
Jabal Hindi while another tunnel 1,100 meters long will be built under Jabal Madafie.
An emergency 700-meter tunnel crossing the other two tunnels will be constructed from Jabal Al-Kaaba.
The government has spent about SR 40 billion on the appropriation of properties for the project.
Economist Aabid Al-Abdali of Umm Al-Qura University said the amount would trigger an unprecedented
economic boom in the holy city. He estimated Makkah's gross domestic product at SR123 billion.

Saudi Arabia invites contractors to bid for Jeddah airport contract
4 June 2012, 8:37 GMT | By Andrew Roscoe
Work will involve building aprons covering a total area of 250,000 square metres
Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation (Gaca) has invited contractors to submit bids for a
contract to build new aprons at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah.
Contractors have until 15 July to submit bids for the contract to build Apron 6 and other associated
smaller aprons. According to sources in the kingdom, about 12 companies have been invited to
participate in the tender.
71
Global Project Opportunities: July, 2012
The total area of Apron 6 and other associated works will cover about 250,000 square metres.
The apron deal is the latest of a number of construction contracts that have been tendered as part of the
scheme to expand the King Abdulaziz International airport. In April, Saudia Aerospace Engineering
Industries (SAEI) awarded a consortium led by Turkey’s TAV Construction an estimated $800m contract
to build its aircraft maintenance, repair and operation (MRO) facility at the Jeddah airport.
The main construction packages on the Jeddah airport expansion project were awarded to the local Saudi
Binladin Group in 2010. Binladin was awarded two main construction contracts worth an estimated total
of SR27bn ($7.2bn).The first package includes building a new terminal building, air traffic control tower
and supporting facilities and the second package works include building taxiways, roads and other
infrastructure.
The Jeddah airport scheme is one of a number of major airport expansion projects in the kingdom. Gaca
recently invited companies to submit bids for the project management deal for the planned expansion of
King Khalid International airport in Riyadh.
The expansion is expected to increase the airport’s annual capacity to about 24 million passengers from
the current 14 million. The expansion scheme will involve renovating the existing Terminal 3 and the
currently unused Terminal 4, as well as adding four new concourses – A, B, C and D. Gaca is also
planning to build a new Terminal 5 building.
Doha prioritises World Cup infrastructure
7 June 2012,| By Andrew Roscoe
Government clients put non-urgent schemes on backburner and turn focus to infrastructure schemes
essential for hosting the World Cup
Government clients in Qatar have put two more major construction projects on hold, in the latest sign
that Doha is prioritising its efforts on building the raft of projects required to host football’s World Cup in
2022.
The state-owned Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development has put on hold
plans to build its proposed Aerospace City in the Al-Khor area of Qatar, after an enabling works package
for the project had been tendered last year.
The Aerospace City scheme was planned to include several research facilities, which were be used for
satellite and space sciences. The project was planned to include input from the US’ Nasa, in addition to a
science museum and tourist facilities.
“We were interested in the Aerospace City project, but have been told by sources close to client to forget
about it just now,” says a local contractor.
In addition to the Aerospace City project, Doha has also put plans to redevelop the city’s corniche on
hold, weeks after the nearby Doha Grand Park project was shelved.
The Emir’s Office received design competition entries from three international architects to redevelop the
entire cornice earlier in the year, but according to sources within Qatar the project has now been put on
hold.
The slowdown of the corniche scheme follows the recent decision of Qatar’s Private Engineering Office
(PEO) to cancel plans for the proposed Doha Grand Park project in the centre of the capital city. The park
was planned to be built on the area stretching from Al-Rayyan road to the tennis centre and from the old
72
Global Project Opportunities: July, 2012
British embassy to the road leading on to the corniche. The PEO had selected the local Urbacon
International to develop the scheme on a design and build contract.
Although clients have given no official reason for the slowdown or cancellation of the projects, those
within Qatar’s construction sector say that the government is putting non-urgent infrastructure schemes
on the backburner as it looks to focus on the essential infrastructure and building projects required to
host the World Cup in 10 years’ time.
“The government clients are looking at what needs to be done and what can be done later,” says one
local consultant. “It makes sense, as major projects, such as the metro and stadiums, are vital to its
World Cup plans, and have to be built within a set time frame. Other projects, such as building parks and
science centres, can be done at a later date.”
Meanwhile, there has been progress with infrastructure schemes that form a central part of Qatar’s World
Cup preparations.
In April, Qatar Railways Company (QRail) issued tender documents for five major construction packages
on the multibillion-dollar Doha metro project. The 300-kilometre-long Doha metro system will consist of
four lines: the Red Line, Gold Line, Green Line and Blue Line. The project will have 80 stations by the
time it is completed. The metro will link the New Doha International Airport (NDIA) to the centre of Doha
and will connect some of the stadiums to be used for the 2022 World Cup.
Qatar is also pressing ahead with plans to spend QR100bn ($27bn) over the next five years on building
and upgrading roads and drains throughout the country.
Qatar’s Public Works Authority (Ashghal) recently awarded a QR3.5bn ($961m) construction contract to
South Korea’s Hyundai Engineering & Construction to build the Lusail Expressway project in Doha, which
will link the Lusail development to the centre of Doha. The road project is an important part of Qatar’s
World Cup plans, as the Lusail development will accommodate the Lusail Iconic Stadium, the largest
planned sports arena for the event, which will have the capacity to hold more than 80,000 people.
The Lusail Expressway award followed the appointment of the UAE’s Al-Jaber Group to build a QR2.33bn
($640m) package on the Doha Expressway scheme.
The Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee, the body in charge of preparing the Gulf state for the World Cup, is
also pushing ahead with prequalifying firms for the sporting infrastructure required to host the
tournament. In April, the committee invited companies to prequalify for future tenders on the lead
consultancy and project management contracts for the planned stadiums. Qatar will spend $4bn on
building nine new stadiums and upgrading the existing Al-Rayyan, Al-Gharafa and Khalifa stadiums in
preparation for hosting the event.
Focus on Kingdom’s mega projects
RIYADH: ABDUL HANNAN TAGO | ARAB NEWS STAFF
Sunday 3 June 2012
The growth and development of the Kingdom’s railway network was the focus of yesterday’s agenda of
the two-day Kingdom Mass Transit Summit, organized by leading French business information company
naseba, which opened Saturday at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Riyadh.
In the first quarter of 2012, Saudi Arabia signed three contracts worth SR2.3 billion ($613 million) for the
construction of maintenance service buildings and five stations to support its longest railway, the North
South Railway. Many more contracts are expected to be signed, leading to an increasingly connected
Kingdom.

Global Project Opportunities: July, 2012
In the opening keynote, Hammad bin Yousef, civil and track engineer at the Saudi Railway Company,
spoke of the opportunities in the Kingdom’s megaprojects and developments and offered an overview of
Saudi Arabia's rail programs and accomplishments.
Highlighted future projects included the Saudi Landbridge Project, an internal Jubail network of 120 km
railway to link the country's two industrial hubs of Dammam and Jubail, and the creation of rail branches
necessary for the North South Railway. Each project was considered amidst an overarching analysis of
the Kingdom’s vision and strategy for rail developments. Yousef also described the private sector’s place
in developing the country’s rail networks.
The Saudi Consolidated Contracting Company’s (SCCC) high-speed rail project will be of utmost
importance to the Kingdom’s transport future.
On his part, Bassam Boustany, associate head of the transport department at the SCCC, encouraged
attendees to think in the long term for their transport projects, noting, “When we improve service, we
lower the cost of doing business.”
The summit then addressed the need for innovation in the railway sector. Oliver Plunkett, country
director for Saudi Arabia at Buro Happold, led a keynote that studied the need for 21st century railway
stations for a post-car city, examining a station’s needs and integrated solutions to complex challenges in
usability, operability, quality and value.
The summit concluded with a panel discussion on sustainability in future railway projects between
industry pioneers Atul Agarwal, senior transport specialist at the World Bank; Abdul Rahman Al-Motrif,
director SMART campuses and building projects at the Ministry of Higher Education; and Syed Ehtesham
Husain, head of engineering at Al Latifia Trading and Contracting. The panel concluded with all
participants agreeing on the need to focus on sustainability in order to continuously improve the
effectiveness of a transport system.

OPWP is being advised by KPMG Oman, the UK’s SNR Denton and Germany’s Fichtner on the project.
The project was originally to be developed as an independent water and power project, but the power
component of the project was dropped in June 2010 due to environmental concerns associated with the
site.
AFRICA NEWS
Ethopia: Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement: The Ethiopian Government has signed Double
Taxation Avoidance Agreement with four countries; including with its growing trading partners India and
China. The agreements, also with Sudan and Egypt, were jointly tabled to the House of Peoples’
Representatives for approval. The agreements are expected to enter into force once approved by
parliament. The agreement allows investors not to pay double tax on the same declared income.
Ethiopia also agrees with the four countries to encourage investment flow by granting a tax holiday to
investments in the selected sectors as part of the deal.
POWER DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, Ethiopia
The Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation (EEPCO) is revising its power sector master plan with the aim
to generate 37,000 mega watts (MW) of electric power in the next 25 years. The power generation
capacity of the country has reached 2,140MW from only 370MW few years back. EEPCO, which is the
sole electric power provider in the country, first introduced its master plan in 2000. Hydroelectricity is
the major venture that EEPCO is targeting in the coming years. The corporation planned to start close to
six new hydro electric power projects including wind and geothermal energy power at the beginning of its
twenty five year plan. Gibe III with 1870 MW production capacity, Halele Werabessa (422MW), Chemoga
Yeda (254MW), Geba (272MW), Gibe IV (1470MW) and Genale III (254MW) are part of the planned
projects. Other renewable energies such as wind, solar and geothermal are also part of the plan with the
capability to produce over ten thousand MWs energy. Non-renewable energy like power production from
coal is the other option that the Corporation envisions to develop in the coming year.
East African economies raise spending, risks seen
REUTERS
Thursday 14 June 2012
NAIROBI: The three main east African economies raised their spending plans for the 2012/13 fiscal year
to fund key infrastructure sectors, but analysts faulted their finance ministers’ sunny dispositions on
growth outlook and borrowing proposals.
Officials in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania face the challenge of maintaining their recent economic growth
rates — among the fastest in Africa — amid global economic uncertainties as well as high inflation and
weak currencies at home.
Kenya, the region’s biggest economy, increased its budget by more than 20 percent to 1.46 trillion
shillings ($17.10 billion), while Tanzania’s, ranked No.2, rose by 11 percent to 15.12 trillion shillings
($9.53 billion).
Uganda, the region’s third biggest economy, raised spending by 16.7 percent to 11.2 trillion shillings
($4.49 billion).
Finance ministers in the three countries said the jump in spending for the 2012/13 financial year which
starts next month would be to fund planned investment in the construction of roads, railways and power
plants to sustain economic growth.
“We must confront our challenges boldly and within our means. We have to do more with the limited
75
Global Project Opportunities: July, 2012
resources at our disposal,” Kenya’s Finance Minister Robinson Githae said.
He maintained the 2012 growth forecast at 5.2 percent.
One analyst said Kenya could pay the price of that optimism, through a bigger budget deficit for the year,
from the 6.5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) set by Githae.
“We think the government’s projection of a 20 percent increase in spending and its 5.2 percent growth
forecast are overly optimistic, and thus suggests that the budget deficit is likely to come in wider than
projected,” said Yvonne Mhango, Sub Saharan Africa economist at Renaissance Capital.
Analysts fretted over the government’s plan to lean on external sources of finance to plug the deficit.
“The real question marks are over the plans for net foreign financing of the budget, 143.6 billion shillings
or roughly 1.7 billion,” said Razia Khan, head of research for Africa at Standard Chartered.
Kenya’s economy grew by 4.4 percent last year, down from 5.8 percent in the previous year, according
to official data.
Githae said he expected inflation, which has fallen for the last six months in a row, to continue on that
trajectory, lowering pressure on commercial interest rates.
Tanzania trimmed its growth forecast for this year to 6.8 percent from 7 percent, citing energy shortages
and drought.
Analysts criticized the budget, saying the government would borrow heavily to finance recurrent
expenditure.
“The government has allocated just 30 percent of the budget on development spending, the rest of the
money will go toward administrative costs of running the government. We need to invest more resources
in production,” said Ibrahim Lipumba, leader of the opposition Civic United Front (CUF) party.
Maria Kiwanuka, the Ugandan finance minister proposed to raise taxes on people who earn more than
120 million shillings ($48,100) a year, while raising withholding tax for investment on government
securities to 20 percent from 15 percent.
Traders said the move would put off foreign investors, a key source of hard currency for Africa’s largest
coffee exporter that keeps the shilling from weakening steeply against the dollar, thus raising costs of
imports.
“The new measure of escalating the tax on Treasury bonds and bills is ill-advised because it will hurt
offshore investors who have been very crucial in supporting the shilling,” said Faisal Bukenya, head of
market making at Barclays Uganda.
Rwanda’s budget deficit rose nearly 80 percent to 137.3 billion francs ($225 million) to fund
infrastructure growth. The gap would be plugged by foreign loans and treasury bills sales.
Egypt invites bids for power transmission project
24 June 2012| By Verity Ratcliffe
Contractors to submit bids by 3 September
The Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) has invited bids to construct a 30-kilometre
500kV overhead transmission line to connect the new Giza North power plant to the grid.
The winning bidder will be responsible for the design, supply, construction, installation and testing of all
components of interconnection including towers, conductors, insulators, ground wire and civil works.
Bids must be submitted by 3 September in two envelopes. Details relating to the technical components of
the project will be included in the first envelope with the financial offers in the second.
Egypt has received a loan from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD)
towards the cost of Giza North power plant. The project is to be completed within 12 months of contract
signing.

Algeria Projects Market 2012
24 June 2012, 4:10 GMT
A comprehensive overview of the projects market in Algeria
With the projects market still feeling the impact of the 2008 Dubai real estate crash, it has been a
difficult few years for the region’s contractors. While Qatar and Saudi Arabia all offer attractive prospects,
the growing amount of competition in those markets can make it difficult for companies to enter and
succeed in them.
It is for this reason that many firms are now looking at the Algerian projects market with greater interest.
With a fast-growing population and economy, plentiful cash reserves, and an ambitious government
infrastructure plan, the North African state is today one of the most attractive prospects outside the GCC.
With $38bn worth of projects under execution and more than double that amount planned in the near
term, the market is growing both in size and importance. Just as importantly, its spending plans are
widely spread; oil and gas will continue to be a major sector, but rail, aviation, ports, roads, public
housing and mining will also be significant growth areas over the coming decade.

India and Russia set us dollar 20 bn bilateral trade target by 2015 India plans to invest us
dollar 1 trillion in infrastructure in next five years anand sharma India keen to participate in
pharma 2020 program
Date : 21 Jun 2012
Location : New Delhi
The Union Minister of Commerce, Industry and Textiles Shri Anand Sharma today addressed a group of
political and business leaders from Russia and India at the third “India-Russia Business Dialogue” which
was held under the umbrella of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum 2012.
Speaking on the historical bonds between the two nations, Shri Sharma said that India and Russia today
share a “special and privileged strategic partnership” which permeates the entire spectrum of economic
activity.
Highlighting the fact that the GDP of both the countries is over US$ 3 trillion, Shri Sharma further added
that the bilateral trade between India and Russia in 2011 was in the range of US$ 9 billion. “We have set
for ourselves an ambitious target of reaching US$ 20 billion by 2015. However, there is a need to
diversify the trade basket between our countries as the current profile of trade is dominated by
commodities with large imports of iron, steel, fertilizer and oil from Russia. We need to expand the trade
basket to have more value added products,” he underlined during the event.
India is also planning to invest US$ 1 trillion in the infrastructure sector alone in the next five years. For
this, Shri Sharma welcomed Russian participation to build a strong infrastructure base in India. “We are
also building gas and oil pipelines and Russian companies have considerable expertise in pipeline
construction technologies which will greatly be valued. In the telecom sector, of course, we have seen the
emergence of flourishing partnerships between India and Russia which will see investments of over US$
1.5 billion in the coming years” said Shri Sharma.

JCB India to focus on getting into new markets in India
Move seen as sales are expected to remain flat in a tough environment
Press Trust of India / New Delhi Jun 20, 2012
Construction equipment maker JCB India will focus on expanding presence in new markets in the country this year as it
sees sales to remain flat in a tough environment, a top company official said today.
"At present our focus will be to utilise our existing capacity. We will be looking for new markets within India for the various
products that we have," JCB India Managing Director & CEO Vipin Sondhi said.
The company that offers 21 different machines in seven product types, including backhoe loaders, loading shovels,
tracked excavators and carry crane, had sold 27,000 units last year.
"This year going is to be, at best, a flat year," he said when asked about the sales prospects.
He cited the current overall economic environment, mainly slowdown in infrastructure projects as main challenges.
"So our aim is to sell the different types of products that we have in different markets within India where these have
not been available," Sondhi said.
The firm has a network of 57 dealers with over 430 outlets throughout the country. Currently, it has three plants in India
with a combined annual capacity of around 30,000 units.
It today launched a new backhoe loader "JCB 3DX" priced around Rs 20 lakh as part of plans to strengthen its position in
the market.
"JCB plans to strengthen its share of the backhoe loader market in India and extend its reach even further to the
developing rural markets," the company said.
The firm claimed the new product will be more fuel efficient by 20 per cent than the previous generation product and will
also offer 20 per cent more cabin space for the operator.
Colgate begins construction work for Sanand plant
The consumer goods company is likely to commission its plant by 2014
Vinay Umarji / Mumbai/ Ahmedabad Jun 14, 2012,
Tata Motors and Ford India has yet a new neighbour in Sanand - Colgate Palmolive. After Hitachi, it is now the oral and
dental hygiene products manufacturer Colgate that has begun construction work at its upcoming plant site in Sanand.
What's more, according to state government sources, Colgate is likely to commission manufacturing at the plant by late
2014.
To come up at an industrial estate in Sanand, the plant will witness an investment of Rs 200 crore.
An emailed query to Colgate remained unanswered. The industrial estate is being developed by state-run Gujarat
Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC).
"Colgate has begun construction work at the plant recently and is expected to commission the same by late 2014.
Gujarat government has allotted 100,000 sq metres of land at the upcoming GIDC industrial estate in Bol village in
Sanand to Colgate for the plant," said a senior state government official on condition of anonymity.
Once commissioned, the plant, which is adjacent to Tata Motors, Ford India and Hitachi's plants in Sanand, will be
Colgate's fifth plant after Aurangabad, Baddi in Himachal Pradesh, Hyderabad and Kundaim in Goa.
"It has been learnt that Colgate will begin manufacturing toothpastes first, followed by its other oral and dental hygiene
products," the official added. Colgate has its presence in oral care segment, personal care and home care segments

RBI announces Further Liberalisation Measures for Capital Account Transactions
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), in consultation with the Government of India has decided to introduce
the following measures with immediate effect:
It has been decided to allow Indian companies in manufacturing and infrastructure sector and having
foreign exchange earnings to avail of external commercial borrowing (ECB) for repayment of outstanding
Rupee loans towards capital expenditure and/or fresh Rupee capital expenditure under the approval
route. The overall ceiling for such ECBs would be USD 10 billion.
The existing limit for investment by Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) registered foreign
institutional investors (FIIs) in Government securities (G-Secs) has been enhanced by a further amount
of USD 5 billion. This would take the overall limit for FII investment in G-Secs from USD 15 billion to USD
20 billion. In order to broad base the non-resident investor base for G-Secs, it has also been decided to
allow long term investors like Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs), multilateral agencies, endowment funds,
insurance funds, pension funds and foreign central banks to be registered with SEBI, to also invest in GSecs for the entire limit of USD 20 billion. The sub-limit of USD 10 billion (existing USD 5 billion with
residual maturity of 5 years and additional limit of USD 5 billion) would have the residual maturity of
three years.
The terms and conditions for the scheme for FII investment in infrastructure debt and the scheme for
non-resident investment in Infrastructure Development Funds (IDFs) have been further rationalised in
terms of lock-in period and residual maturity.
Further, Qualified Foreign Investors (QFIs) can now invest in those mutual fund (MF) schemes that hold
at least 25 per cent of their assets (either in debt or in equity or both) in infrastructure sector under the
current USD 3 billion sub-limit for investment in mutual funds related to infrastructure.
The operational/ regulatory guidelines for the above measures under Foreign Exchange Management Act
(FEMA), 1999 are being issued separately.

Anand Sharma Addresses National Seminar on Foreign Trade Policy
Date : 08 Jun 2012
Location : New Delhi
Addressing a National Seminar on Foreign Trade Policy organized by FICCI, here today, the Union
Minister of Commerce Industry and Textiles Shri Anand Sharma said that “we have persisted in providing
a stable policy regime through our Foreign Trade Policy which has provided a measure of confidence and
continuity for our exporting community.” Shri Sharma said that new markets have been added in the new
Policy. He further said that the domestic procurement process has been made transparent too.
Continuing on the theme of market diversification, the Minister said “Our exports to Asia, Africa and Latin
America last year amounted to US$ 188 billion comprising 62% of total export basket which is indeed a
significant development.” This year’s Annual Supplement of FTP has added 14 new markets this year
under different schemes. The extension of interest subvention and the expansion of its coverage has
been well received by industry. The extension of zero duty EPCG scheme by another year and the
enlargement of its scope has also found resonance as it catalyzes a technological upgradation.
The Minister referred to the objective to double up the trade by 2014. But he also said that the trade
deficit is mounting. The Minister continued: “This year the prognosis is not good. Global trade will also
shrink by a percentage point.” He further said that they “are not happy with 5.3 percentage growth”, but
at the same time added that “we cannot grow in isolation, and cannot decouple ourselves from the
developments in other region.”
Speaking about the engagements with Pakistan, Shri Sharma said that they have “took a well-thought
out plan with Pakistan… and that in less than a year, things have moved forward a lot.” He also said that
India is also working on making South Asian economic integration a reality in the near future. He further
said that the time has come when China will be interested in making investments in India, as red tapes
and all sorts of bottlenecks have been removed. Shri Sharma said that the National Manufacturing Policy
is now in a functional stage and that his ministry envisages of making India a hub of manufacturing in the
future. Separate Investment Promotion Board has also been set up.
The members from industry side raised their concerns regarding various facets of the recently-announced
Foreign Trade Policy, to which responses were given by Shri Sharma.

Trade policy boost for ecommerce biz
The Hindu Business Line: June 06, 2012
In a boost for e-commerce businesses, the Centre has agreed to provide fiscal incentives for exports
shipped through ecommerce platforms.
To begin with, this facility will be available for shipments effected from Delhi and Mumbai, the Commerce
and Industry minister, Mr Anand Sharma, announced here today, as part of the annual supplement to the
trade policy.
Mr Sharma also said that an interministerial task force constituted by the Finance Ministry would
expeditiously look into various aspects of e-commerce to enable shipments through designated
ports. The latest initiative could boost exports of handicrafts, gems & jewellery, carpets, music CDs and
electronic items from the country, said Mr Ajai Sahai, Director-General and CEO, Federation of
Indian Export Organisations (FIEO).
Exports thru courier
It is not only exports through ecommerce platforms, even exports through posts and couriers would be
eligible for export incentives for shipments effected from Delhi and Mumbai. Reacting to the
announcement, Mr Malcolm Monteiro, CEO, South Asia, DHL Express, said, “We in the express logistics
industry warmly welcome the decision to make exports shipped through Express and E-Commerce from
Delhi and Mumbai eligible for export benefits.” “We look forward to the logical next step from Customs to
allow commercial export shipments through courier giving the Indian exporter the choice to use the best
logistic platform as per their requirements,” he added.
Supplement to foreign trade policy: 7- point agenda to boost exports
6 Jun, 2012, 01.28AM IST, ET Bureau
The government has unveiled a seven-point strategy, including extension of import-tax waiver and
interest subsidy, to boost India's merchandise exports that have been hit by sluggish demand from
Europe and US.
The annual supplement to the five-year foreign trade policy announced on Tuesday enlarged the scope of
tax benefits on imported inputs to include goods sourced locally, aimed at incentivizing domestic
manufacturing while encouraging import substitution.
It also extended the interest subsidy scheme on labour intensive exports by a year to March 2013;
declared seven countries as focus markets; offered special sops for export units in the North-East; and
made e-commerce and courier exports out of Delhi and Mumbai eligible for the export benefits. The
package will help achieve the target growth of 20% over the previous fiscal's $303 billion exports despite
a weak start, commerce and industry minister Anand Sharma said after releasing the supplement. The
coming two months can be very testy, but we are working with a plan," Sharma said in defence of his
steep 20% exports growth target for the year. Exports rose only 3.2% in April from a year ago. The
foreign trade policy 2009-14 has set a target of $500 billion exports in the terminal year. "We are on
track to achieve this feat as Indian exports registered a 20.9% growth to $303 billion last year despite
the Euro zone crisis," Sharma said without putting a number to the exports sops announced. He said by
August the situation should improve. Under many of the ongoing export promotion schemes, the
government provides duty-free scrips to exporters on the basis of their exports, which can be used to pay
customs duty on goods imported by them. These scrips can now be used to pay excise duty on
domestically sourced inputs as well, which is expected to encourage import substitution that will help
bring down the trade deficit, pegged at nearly 10% of GDP in 2011-12. "The coming two months can be

Race to stem Iraq's housing crisis
Iraq Projects | By Andrew Roscoe
With an ongoing lack of housing, a steadily growing population and the effects of political unrest,
Baghdad is racing to rejuvenate its long-neglected property development sector
One of the biggest challenges facing Iraq over the next decade is providing adequate housing to its
citizens. Estimates of the current shortfall range from 2-3.5 million homes and demand is growing.
“What was completed last year does not represent more than 5 per cent of what is required, and since
then, demand has risen by more than 5 per cent,” says Akram Ogaily, senior vice-president at US-based
Hill International, which was awarded a conditional contract to manage the construction of 100,000 new
homes in 2011 once the project is fully procured.
Population growth, a shortage of new housing, and dilapidation of existing housing have all contributed to
the issue
In the National Housing Plan, launched in 2010, Baghdad set out a number of ambitious housing targets
and objectives for building new homes. With an underdeveloped construction sector and lack of largescale developers, the programme will present international firms with numerous opportunities in the
coming years.
Causal factors to housing crisis
The housing crisis can be attributed to three main factors, says Peter Besley, director of UK-based
architecture firm Assemblage, which recently won a design competition for a residential scheme in
117

Baghdad. “Strong population growth, a shortage of new housing, and dilapidation of existing housing
have all contributed to the acute problem,” he says.

The size of Iraq’s population has increased 3 per cent over the past four years and is expected to rise
from 32 million today to 50 million by 2030. This would be challenging in any country, but the local
armed conflicts over the past three decades have compounded the issue.
“The housing sector was neglected for 50 years, or more,” says Ogaily. “It was never mass production,
but mainly individuals building their own houses. After [the war with Iran and the invasion of Kuwait],
there was little built in the 1990s in terms of housing or other infrastructure. This is why there is such a
shortage.”
In addition to the wars, Iraq’s governance under Saddam Hussein’s autocratic regime resulted in the
suppression of the private sector. “Under the centralised government, all of the construction activities
were moved to the public sector and there was no opportunity for the private sector to be developed,”
says Ogaily.
In the National Development Plan (NDP) for 2010-14, the government has allocated $31.6bn, 17 per cent
of the $186bn of total planned investment, towards increasing housing stock and regenerating
dilapidated buildings. The programme will be funded through government and private investment and
schemes will be procured by central government and regional governorate bodies.

To help deliver the housing schemes, UN-Habitat, the UN’s agency for human settlement, has signed an
agreement with the Ministry of Construction & Housing to implement the housing programme. “The
housing crisis has become so acute that it has come to the UN’s attention,” says Besley. “The aim of the
partnership is to get new housing out quickly.”
The government set up the National Investment Commission (NIC) in 2006 to procure private investment
in several key infrastructure schemes and housing projects. The commission has pledged to oversee a
programme to build 1 million units across Iraq’s 15 governorates and the Kurdistan region. It will grant
land to developers and will oversee and coordinate the implementation of the construction programme.
When the developments are completed, investors and developers will sell the housing units to individual
buyers.
In one of its largest projects, the NIC has released land in Basra to South Korea’s Trac Development
Group for the construction of 500,000 homes. In June 2011, Hill International won provisional contracts
from NIC worth $1.5bn.
Hill will provide project management services for the first phase of the $35bn development, while its fully
owned subsidiary, Hillstone, will provide structural steel for 100,000 new housing units. Hill was also
recently awarded a project management contract for a 30,000-seat stadium in Al-Anbar.
Iraq: An emerging market
“Iraq will be one of the major markets in the region for Hill International, along with Saudi Arabia, in the
next few years,” says Ogaily. “It’s not just housing that is needed; it is everything.”
In line with the wider plans to decentralise power from Baghdad and increase the strength of regional
governments, each governorate will also undertake large housing projects.
In addition to funding their own schemes, the local public offices will also encourage private investors by
offering them land.
The Mayoralty of Baghdad has instigated projects to build new homes and regenerate damaged areas. In
August 2011, UK-based architecture firm Broadway Malyan completed the masterplan for the Sadr City
area of Baghdad, a $10bn project regeneration and expansion project.
The masterplan involves a 17-square-kilometre extension of the existing Sadr City and the creation of
New Sadr City. The scheme is named ‘10x10’ due to its estimated cost of $10bn and the 10-year
timeframe it is expected to take to complete. Part of the plan calls for the construction of more than
90,000 apartments providing accommodation for more than 500,000 residents.
The mayoralty is currently considering proposals from Broadway Malyan and a number of international
firms for the consultancy and supervision contracts. “The amount of new housing required in decaying
areas is massive, and we are hopeful we can play a part in the rebuilding process,” says John Turner,
director of Broadway Malyan.
Complex challenges to creating residential communities
“[Iraq] is a phenomenal challenge,” says Turner. “Housing isn’t just an isolated aspect; residential areas
require new infrastructure and utilities. Electricity is still in short supply in much of Iraq and new roads
are required before work on housing construction can start.”
Another challenge is creating regulations to provide surety to potential investors, The 2010 National
Housing Plan highlights an insufficient legal system for private investment.
“Iraq’s construction sector is still viewed as a risk by many potential investors,” says an international
consultant currently bidding on work in Iraq. “A regulatory framework is important so investors know that
if they give money to developers the projects will go ahead.”
119
Global Project Opportunities: July, 2012
There must also be a regulatory framework to cope with corruption. “Corruption slows everything down,”
says Turner. “The Baghdad mayoralty has made a big effort to crack down on corruption and it is
important that other agencies do the same.”
Security hurdle for Iraq
The biggest hurdle facing Iraq’s housing programme, however, is political unrest. In January, Sadr City,
the location for the proposed 10x10 development, was one of the districts targeted in a series of car
bomb attacks that killed 13 people and injured 62.
“The security situation is critical for all the infrastructure projects,” says a UK-based consultant. “Violence
will cause projects to be delayed and will put investors off.”
If Iraq can overcome these challenges, it looms as one of the region’s most vibrant construction markets
in the next decade. With 23 per cent of Iraqis living below the poverty line, a central part of the
rebuilding programme will be providing housing for those in need. Iraq’s housing strategy is undermined
by a lack of local developers. As a result, it will provide ample opportunities for regional and international
firms to assist in its regeneration efforts.
Iraq’s gas pipeline sector due an overhaul
20 June 2012 | By Adal Mirza
Overhaul of Iraq’s pipeline infrastructure needed to cope with increases in gas production
Despite its enormous oil and gas reserves, Iraq lacks the oil transport infrastructure to get its product to
international markets, as well as internally to refineries and power plants. Its pipeline network is
extensive, totalling more than 7,000 kilometres.
Much of it is either inoperative or unable to function at full nameplate capacity, as a result of three wars,
more than a decade of sanctions and poor maintenance, which has caused corrosion and reduced
pumping pressure.
The development of Iraq’s oil fields by international oil companies will require hundreds of kilometres of
new pipelines to transport the produced oil and gas for processing, storage and eventual export or
refining, in addition to enormous injections of capital.
The Oil Ministry is planning a multibillion-dollar programme to invest in its pipeline infrastructure
network, overhauling the existing dilapidated pipelines and damaged pumping stations, as well as
expanding the network to increase its export options and flexibility in moving crude oil around the
country.
According to the MEED Insight Iraq Oil & Gas 2012 Projects Market Report, the cost of replacing Iraq’s
entire oil and gas pipeline network will come to at least $12bn. This figure does not include the
rehabilitation or construction of new pumping stations and storage facilities.
The government itself is planning an extensive capital spending plan to overhaul the network with new
pipelines to increase transport and export capacity. Much of the focus will be on building a gas pipeline
network to cope with the increasing volumes of associated gas produced by the fields and to supply
feedstock for power stations and industry.
Iraq is in the process of expanding its power sector, adding more than 10,000MW of new combustion
turbine generation capacity over the next three years. This will require significant investment to link the
country’s power plants with its captured gas plants in time for when the power plants come onstream.
120
Global Project Opportunities: July, 2012
The Oil Ministry’s plans includes the construction of two new dry gas pipelines totalling 3,000km in length
and a trans-Iraq liquid petroleum gas (LPG) pipeline at a cost of about $5bn. The plan also covers 11
smaller projects that will cost and estimated total of $1.25bn, according to MEED Insight. Two and half
years into the Oil Ministry’s plan, of the proposed schemes, only one has been tendered so far, and this is
yet to be awarded.
It is unclear how the deals will be financed. The report highlights that from 2005-12, the Oil Ministry
awarded only $229m-worth of contracts for gas feedstock pipelines and plans to spend another $215m
until 2014.

During the past three decades the Iraqi economy suffered from costly militarisation, three wars,
pervasive state intervention, and over a decade of international sanctions.
The rebuilding of the Iraqi economy since 2003 has been hard and much work remains. Mismanagement
and embezzlement were rife under Saddam Hussein. The oil sector was starved of investment, and the
Saddam regime built up huge debts through costly wars with Iran and Kuwait. Infrastructure, public
services and industry suffered, unemployment was very high, and Iraqis were heavily dependent on the
state free-food ration.
Since May 2003 there has been a significant post-war economic and financial recovery: Iraq's GDP
rebounded quickly, growing at 4.4% p.a. from 2005-2010 (IMF World Outlook).
Energy is key. Iraq holds the fourth largest proven oil reserves in the world (115bn barrels, 9 per cent of
global reserves, BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2010). However its potential reserves are unknown
and widely believed to be the world's second largest reserves after Saudi Arabia. Iraq has very ambitious
plans to grow exports from a little over 2 million bpd now to 12 million by 2017.
However its high dependency on oil makes the economy vulnerable to fluctuations in the oil price and to
sabotage attacks on oil infrastructure. Oil is traded in US dollars, so exchange rate policy is important,
123
Global Project Opportunities: July, 2012
and the Central Bank has managed to maintain stability, build reserves and keep inflation at manageable
levels.
Economic diversification will therefore be important in the long term, doubly so because Government
expenditure is 99.7% of GDP (IMF World Outlook). Iraq’s other natural resources could provide a basis to
do so. However it is a profoundly difficult environment for private business to break into. Outdated laws
and structures plus significant corruption mean Iraq ranks 153rd of 183 countries in terms of overall ease
of doing business in the World Bank’s “Doing Business 2010” report. Border bureaucracy and financial
regulation hinder foreign investment and trade, though last year Iraq managed exports of $49b and
imports of $43b (CIA World Factbook).
While Iraq continues to improve at a macro level, citizens’ experiences remain hard. Service delivery is
haphazard. Electricity generation has long been half demand and industry must supply itself. The
population is youthful and unemployment high (estimates vary around a third). Poverty is broad and,
though shallow nationally, deep in rural areas. Drought, desertification and stressed water supplies will
continue to undermine agriculture, and a fifth of the population remain dependent on the food ration
system (UN Common Country Assessment 2009).
Iraq has created a National Development Plan for 2010-2014 and a National Investment Plan to deliver
these needed services and sustained growth. For now, the oil sector will provide the basis for growth and
stability in the medium term and security is the key to continued revitalisation in the short-term.
Provided Iraq can continue to manage security and successfully co-ordinate investment for oil
development it should continue its growth towards long-term prosperity.
HISTORY
From 1535 until the First World War, Iraq formed part of the Ottoman Empire. During that war, British
forces drove the Ottomans out of Iraq and took over the country. Iraq remained under British control
until 1932, as a Mandate of the League of Nations.
In 1968, a coup brought the Baath Party to power in Baghdad. Saddam Hussein took over as President in
1979.
During the 1970s, Iraq developed rapidly, using the surge in oil income after 1973. This was a period of
prosperity with an increasing role for women. But those who crossed the regime were viciously
repressed.
In 1980, Iraq invaded Iran. The war with Iran, which lasted until 1988, cost the two countries around
500,000 lives. Towards the end of the war, Saddam’s forces launched the Anfal campaign against the
Kurds in northern Iraq: at least 180,000 people lost their lives, partly as a result of the use of chemical
weapons against civilians at Halabja.
124
Global Project Opportunities: July, 2012
Iraq emerged from the war in severe financial difficulties. In August 1990, partly to resolve its financial
crisis, Iraq occupied Kuwait. A US-led coalition of forces from some 30 countries ejected Iraq from Kuwait
in early 1991.
Following Iraq's defeat during the Gulf war, serious unrest broke out in parts of the country. An uprising
by the Shia in the south of the country was quickly crushed by troops loyal to Saddam. An attempt to do
the same to a Kurdish uprising in the north was thwarted by international intervention, which established
a ‘safe haven’. No-Fly Zones were put in place over both northern and southern Iraq. A Kurdistan
Regional Government was set up in 1992.
During the 1990s, Iraq was the subject of UN resolutions, both during and after its occupation of Kuwait.
These resolutions imposed sanctions on Iraq. A number of the UN resolutions concerned Iraq’s weapons
of mass destruction: a regime of inspections was set up, with a view to finding and destroying these
weapons. However, Iraq persistently obstructed the work of the UN inspectors. As a result of its defiance
of the international community, the sanctions imposed on Iraq remained in place.
On 19 March 2003, a coalition led by the US and UK commenced military action against Iraq. On 9 April
2003, Baghdad fell to US forces. Iraq came under the control of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA)
which was set up on 21 April. In July 2003, the CPA appointed the Iraqi Governing Council to serve as
the country’s provisional government (although it was subject to CPA control in a number of ways). In
June 2004, the CPA handed Iraqi sovereignty over to another appointed council, the Iraqi Interim
Government.
Over succeeding years, despite a serious insurgency and widespread sectarian violence, Iraq became
progressively more independent and more democratic. In January 2005, a Transitional National Assembly
(TNA) was elected. In December 2005, national elections for a new Iraqi parliament (the Council of
Representatives) took place under a new constitution (which had been put to a referendum in October
2005 and adopted). In May 2006, Nuri al-Maliki took office as Prime Minister.
Elections for a new Council of Representatives were held in March 2010. Following protracted
negotiations, an inclusive government of national unity took office under Nuri al-Maliki in December
2010.
Iraq progressively regained control of the country’s security too. Starting with Muthanna Province in July
2006, coalition forces handed over control of security to the Iraqi authorities, province by province. The
last British troops left Iraq in May 2011; the last US troops left the country in December of the same
year.

GEOGRAPHY
The Republic of Iraq is bounded to the north by Turkey, to the east by Iran, to the south-east by Kuwait
and the Gulf, to the south and south-west by Saudi Arabia and Jordan and to the north-west by Syria. A
short coastline of 56km gives it access to the Gulf.
Iraq has three distinct topographical regions: the north-east uplands and Kurdistan Mountains, the
almost barren desert plains of the north-west and south, and the irrigated, heavily farmed Mesopotamian
plain south of Baghdad between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates. Elevations range from sea level in the
south-east to 3,700m in the north-east. Apart from the mountains in the north, almost all of Iraq is less
than 500m in altitude.
POLITICS
The second parliamentary elections since the downfall of Saddam’s regime took place across Iraq in
March 2010, to elect 325 members of an expanded Council of Representatives (parliament). Political
parties and blocs from across Iraq’s political and ethno-sectarian spectrum took part. Despite attempts by
insurgents to disrupt polling, the election passed off generally peacefully and turnout was around 64% of
the population.
There was no clear winner in the election. The Iraqiyya bloc of Dr Iyad Allawi won 91 seats. The State of
Law coalition led by the incumbent Prime Minister, Nuri Kamal Al-Maliki, took 89 seats. The election was
followed by a protracted period of government formation with Mr Al-Maliki remaining as caretaker Prime
Minister. Final agreement on a government remained elusive, with no agreement on the distribution of
key ministries, while the main political blocs manoeuvred to construct wider coalitions to give them a
parliamentary majority.
In late 2010, the President of the Kurdistan Regional Government, Massoud Barzani, launched an
initiative to break the political deadlock. The so-called Erbil Accords envisaged a power sharing
arrangement between the major Shia, Sunni and Kurdish blocs. This saw Mr Al-Maliki, a Shia, remain as
Prime Minister, while Jalal Talebani, a Kurd, stayed as Federal President. The influential position of
parliamentary Speaker went to a Sunni, Dr Usama Al-Nujaifi.
Following the expiry of the Iraq/US military agreement, all US troops left Iraq on 19 December 2011.
Iraqi politics remain delicate against the background of allegations of involvement in terrorism against
the Sunni Vice President Tareq Al-Hashemi (the subject of ongoing judicial proceedings), and tensions
between Prime Minister Al-Maliki and Deputy Prime Minister Saleh Al-Mutlaq. A national dialogue among
political blocs is attempting to resolve political differences. The political impasse has affected the ability of
the parliament and government to engage fully in dealing with the range of pressing issues facing Iraq,
though did pass a Federal budget in February 2012.

The next parliamentary elections are scheduled for 2014.
HUMAN RIGHTS
Iraq continues to deal with the legacy of decades of appalling human rights violations under Saddam
Hussein’s regime, as well as institutional deficiencies. The security context in which Iraq operates remains
a challenging one. Significant problems remain, in particular with the administration of justice and the
rule of law. Corruption remains widespread. Unemployment and a lack of access to basic public services
continue to affect large numbers of the Iraqi population.
In February 2010 the Government of Iraq made clear their commitment to human rights at the UN
Human Rights Council Universal Periodic Review, where it accepted a number of recommendations from
the UK and other countries. The Council of Ministers has approved a National Action Plan which sets out
the Government of Iraq’s vision and work plan for implementing these recommendations. The promotion
of human rights plays a major part in our overall security strategy agenda for Iraq and we stand ready to
support the Government of Iraq in taking these recommendations forward.

ANNEXURE-III
SCREENING COMMITTEE- GUIDELINES
Objectives
The objective of screening by the Screening Committee is to assess the suitability of an Indian engineering
contracting company from all points of view- technical, financial and managerial competence- before it is
allowed to participate in tenders for overseas construction engineering contracts (civil/ electro-mechanical
etc.).
Screening Committee approval is generally accorded selectively for activities for which applicant
companies have established capability in one or more of the following construction engineering activities
involving:
i.
Dams, canals, irrigation works, tunnels and earthworks.
ii.
Roads, bridges, flyovers, airports.
iii.
Water and sewage treatment plants, pipelines.
iv.
Buildings including commercial and factory complexes, hotels, schools and hospitals.
v.
Special foundations and structural works, docks and sea water works/ports.
vi.
Electrification, air-conditioning and utilities.
vii.
Any other structure, infrastructure, utility or activity to be determined by the Screening
Committee.
viii.
General contractors with capabilities in combination of two or more areas in the above range
of activities.
Scope
The coverage of Screening Committee includes all companies wishing to undertake overseas construction
engineering projects involving design, construction, erection and/or commissioning. Indian companies
wishing to export project construction items or consultancy services are outside the purview of the
Screening Committee.
Types of Clearance
Clearance may be accorded to an applicant company for one or more of the following:
i.
Prime Contractor
or
ii.
Sub Contractor to a Foreign Contracting Company or
iii.
Sub Contractor to Indian Company
The clearance may be given either on a specific value basis or for regular overseas operations, depending
on the track record within the country, financial position, management expertise and in-house capability.
Minimum Criteria:
Contractors are normally expected to fulfill following requirements before they can gain approval of
the Screening Committee.
i)
company should be a member of Project EPC.
ii)
company should be a limited company - either private limited or public limited or a
Government undertaking/department
iii)

* An applicant company being considered as Prime-contractor should have a minimum experience of 10
years, in undertaking some comparable type of works in India. Similarly in case of Sub contractor to
Foreign Prime-contractor the minimum experience should be 7 years. In the case of a Sub-contractor to
an Indian Prime-Contractor, the experience in the line of activity in India should be a minimum of 3
years.
iv)
In respect of newly formed firms/companies, joint-ventures or SPV’s created with a view to
undertaking and executing overseas projects, the criteria for any one of the Indian or overseas
constituents / partners would form the basis for granting approvals
Screening Procedure:
Applications from applicant company should be submitted in 12 copies in the prescribed form, allowing
for a 4 weeks time for decision so as to enable receipt of reports from company’s bankers on the standing
credit worthiness and dealings and also to enable suitable appraisal. PEPC will scrutinise and supplement
data to the extent necessary to make the facts complete and ensure that the applications reach the
Committee Members atleast 10 days before the scheduled date of the meeting.
Screening Committee accords clearance after taking into account the following factors:
i)
Constitution of Board of Directors of a company including the qualifications, background and
experience of directors;
ii) Track record of a company regarding projects executed in India and overseas, as also the nature
of works undertaken. Particular emphasis is placed on record of timely completion; and value of
single largest contract executed;
iii) Exposure of a company’s management and personnel in dealing with international organisations,
and in executing works to international specifications. This is of particular relevance if the
company seeks clearance as Sub-contractor to a foreign company (from a third country);
iv) Qualifications and experience of key-personnel currently in full - time employment of company.
v) Financial position of a company, including contingent liability and bank loans as a proportion to
the net-worth; and paid up capital;
vi) Approach to international marketing and information systems. Ability of the company to furnish
information required by institutions, from time to time.
vii) The plant and machinery owned by the company, the nature and size of which would
commensurate with the volume of business proposed to be undertaken.
Though these
equipments may not be of use overseas, considering their unsuitability to the job proposed, this
factor will give the Committee an idea of the applicant company’s status in the business and his
familiarity in handling equipment, a factor that is very important for the purpose of deciding his
suitability for undertaking contracts overseas.
These are broad criteria for approval of companies. However, the Screening Committee in its
discretion may approve a particular company to take up jobs abroad or renew the approval.
Validity of Clearance:
Clearance accorded by the Screening Committee is valid for a period of three years after which company
must approach Screening Committee afresh.
Renewal applications shall have to be submitted in the prescribed format for clearance by the Screening
Committee of the Council.
Review of Companies already screened
Review occurs in the following situations:
i)
Those seeking change in status (e.g. from Sub-contractor to Prime-contractor or from one-shot to
regular)
135
Global Project Opportunities: July, 2012
ii) Companies whose guarantees have been invoked, or where recurring disputes have arisen either
with clients or with Sub-contractors, leading to litigation etc.
iii) Company whose management/ownership has undergone major change since the date of original
approval.
For the above, PEPC works out a procedure for obtaining information from their members on a
quarterly basis.
In case of adverse reports about a screened firm reported to the Screening Committee by any of
its members, the Screening Committee will be entitled to take such action as it may deem fit
including reduction in value limits approved or de-listing from the approved list.
Quorum of the Meeting:
Three members shall be the quorum of Meeting of the Screening Committee provided the three members
shall include one member representing Government Department, one representing Financial Institution
and one from industry.
Presence of Company’s representative :
The committee may ask the applicant company to depute its representative at the meeting for
clarifications or the company may depute its representative with the permission of the Committee.
PROCEDURES FOR PROJECT EXPORTS – CONSULTANCY SERVICES
Under the procedures prescribed in the Project Export Manual, consultancy projects to be undertaken by
Indian Consultancy Organizations are required to be approved by a Competent Authority, both at pretender and post tender stages. If the consultancy contract is for less than Rs. 5 crore, then these
clearances have to be obtained from the respective Authorized Dealer of foreign exchange and if the
value of the contract is between Rs. 5 crore and Rs.10 crore, then the approval is required from Exim
Bank. If it exceeds Rs. 10 crore, the approval is to be obtained from the Working Group consisting of
members form Exim Bank, RBI, ECGC and the Authorized Dealer/Commercial Bank of the Consultant.
The requirement of getting prior clearance from the concerned authorities for such consultancy contracts
which are on cash basis and are with the Overseas Government Agencies and are also funded by
multilateral funding agencies may be dispensed with by suitable amendments in PEM procedures and
FEMA.
