Abstract:

Despite weaker oil prices, activity shows few signs of a material slowdown. Indeed, GDP growth jumped to 4.8% y/y in Q2, its fastest pace in seven quarters. The acceleration partly reflected faster growth in the non-hydrocarbon sector some 9.1% y/y from 7.1% in Q1 including double-digit growth in the construction, trade and financial & business services industries supported by continued infrastructure spending and strong demand for services driven by the associated influx of expatriate workers. The hydrocarbon sector grew by a much more modest 0.9% y/y, weighed by maturing oil fields, capacity limitations and the moratorium on new gas projects at the North Field. With the public finances still in reasonably good shape, further solid increases in government expenditure are expected as the country continues its diversification drive and this should help sustain non-oil growth rates of 9.7% in 2015 and 8.5% next year. The coming on stream of the Barzan gas project in Q4 2015 will lift the hydrocarbon sector somewhat, but overall GDP growth will still be limited to 4.5-5.0% both this year and next.
