The MENA Region Has Also Been Impacted

Source: WHO, MEED

After Iran, Saudi Arabiahas been the hardest hitnation of the MENAregion, followed by Qatarand the UAE. On a percapita basis Algeria,Egypt and Morocco aredealing with thepandemic well althoughthis may also be due tolower testing rates.

There are indicators thatwe are beyond the worstin many countriesalthough Iran recentlyvoiced fears of a secondwave of infections

More than 440,000 cases in the MENA region

Projects Impact: Government Reaction

Government Policy Reactionsas of 2 June, 2020

Dubai: department of finance tells all government agencies to cut capital spending by 50% and delay new projects. Also asks forreduced spending on ongoing construction projects

Abu Dhabi: Adnoc asks suppliers and contractors for “cost savings”, cancels $1.6bn Dalma EPC contracts

Oman: all state-run companies to cut expenditure by 10%. All government-owned firms to stop implementation of new projects

Saudi Arabia: Finance Minister - “We must reduce budget expenditures sharply … Saudi finances need more discipline and the roadahead is long.”

Iraq: Force Majeure declared on all public sector contracts

Egypt: New capital and Grand Egyptian Museum opening delayed to 2021

Bahrain: Government departments and ministries have operating costs cut by 30%; some construction projects rescheduled to save oncosts

Algeria: 2020 budget slashed by 50% as oil and gas revenues expected to drop by similar amount

Qatar: recent bond prospectus revealed government plans to postpone $8.2bn of un-awarded capital projects

Jordan: officials say $14bn budget will be cut and refocused on social spending

In most instances, the full impact of COVID-19 on public spending still remains unknown while governments priorities expenditure andcapital programmes. Simply put, we just don’t know what is going to happen and won’t know for some time.

Some assumptions

Spending will be reduced but it is not going to just stop. Tenders are still being issued and awards are still being made. It is not the end ofthe world as we know it.

We can assume that governments will prioritise social spending and utilities projects when revising their project programmes

The private sector’s concerns are quite distinct. Financing may already be allocated but the uncertainty arises from a drop in demand.Expect retail, tourism and real estate projects – the worst affected sectors – to be delayed or cancelled in many cases

For the short term, workon construction projectsis continuing, but it isslowing as measures tocontrol the spread of thevirus are introduced.Contractors have had toreduce working hoursonsite as curfews areintroduced, and socialdistancing measureshave meant the numberof people working on sitehas been reduced

COVID-19 Impact: Revised GCC Forecasts 2020

Forecast projects spending, GCC ($m)as of 2 June, 2020

MEED Projects has revised down further its forecasts for 2020 based on May data and the impact of government cuts in spending in the GCC.Assuming a 3-month period of relative economic activity, the new forecast predicts some $83bn worth of contracts awarded this year, comparedwith an original forecast of $127bn. If the current slow rate of activity were to continue almost to the end of the year, then the expectation is forjust $61bn worth of contracts signed, a fall of 52% on the original prediction.

MEED Projectspredicts a sharpcontraction in projectawards across majormarkets asgovernments rein inspending. In a worstcase scenario, capitalexpenditure will fall52% from the originalforecast to just $61bnin 2020. This wouldmark the market’sworst performance ina generation.

COVID-19 Impact: Revised GCC Forecasts Longer Term

Forecast projects spending, GCC ($m)as of 2 June, 2020

Our outlook for the period 2020-2022 is based on 2 separate scenarios. In the best case scenario, the oil price returns to the 2019 average and theimpact of COVID-19 is less severe as the economy returns to normal and demand increases. In the worst case scenario, oil remains at or below $30 abarrel and there is a longer term impact of COVID-19 as certain sectors take longer to return to normal.

The outlook for 2021and 2022 contractawards ranges frombetween $80bn ofannual deals to$110bn depending onthe long-term severityof COVID-19 and theoil price. At best themarket will return to2019 levels by notsignificantly higher

Future Pipeline

MENA Projects Pipeline ($m)as of 5 May, 2020

Despite the bleak short-term outlook, the MENAregion as a whole has aconsiderable pipeline ofmore than $3 trillionworth of projects. Aprime consideration forgovernments post-COVID-19 and in an eraof potentially muchlower oil prices is how tofinance and implementtheir project plans withmuch lower revenues.Expect therefore agreater emphasis onprivate sectorinvolvement andborrowing to hit theirtargets
