MRDS posts net profit of QR134mn in 2013 – Mazaya Qatar
Real Estate Development Company (MRDS) reported a net
profit of QR134mn in 2013, up 113% compared to QR62.8mn in
2012. The strong growth in net profit was primarily due to the

surge in rental income by 81% to QR38.5mn. MRDS' earnings
per share (EPS) amounted to QR1.34 in 2013 as compared to
QR0.63 in 2012. Meanwhile, MRDS' board of directors has
proposed cash dividends of 7.5% subject to the General

Europe loan disposals reach record €80bn before ECB
review – According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, European
banks will be disposing of a record €80bn of non-core loans this
year as they trim their balance sheets before central bank stress
tests begin. The disposal comes after lenders led by UK and
Irish banks offloaded €64bn of assets in 2013, with commercial
real estate debt and unsecured retail loans being the most
actively-traded. This year, more than €30bn worth of holdings
have been already sold, or are close to a sale. A health check of
European lenders by the European Central Bank is incentivizing
financial firms to get rid of their non-performing assets. They
hold €2.4tn of non-core debt holdings and
PricewaterhouseCoopers predict bank restructuring will continue
over at least the next five years. (Bloomberg)
China’s urbanization loses momentum as growth slows –
The pace of migration of rural Chinese toward cities is set to
decline by a third in coming years, deepening economic-growth
concerns. A government report has projected a 6.3-point rise in
the share of people living in cities from 2013 to 2020, which is
down from a 9.4-point gain in the previous seven years. Nomura
Holdings Inc. estimates that slower urbanization will slice as
much as half a percentage point from annual GDP growth over
the next half decade. China’s Premier Li Keqiang is under
increasing pressure to take steps to address weakening
economic expansion. Meanwhile, a private report indicated a
fifth straight slowdown in manufacturing in China. The premier,
who has advocated an urbanization-growth strategy for coming
two decades, is up against a shrinking pool of rural workers,
rising local-government debt and unhealthy air pollution in
almost all big cities. Diminishing returns from urbanization make
it tougher to achieve economic goals including this year’s 7.5%
expansion target. (Bloomberg)
BoJ warns of deflation risk if inflation stays below 1% – The
Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) Deputy Governor Kikuo Iwata warned
that inflation staying below 1% for a long period of time was
dangerous as it heightens the risk of deflation. Iwata said the
central bank has set a price target of 2%, a level deemed
ambitious for a country mired in deflation for the last 15 years,
and pledged to achieve it in roughly two years. However, Iwata
said the price target need not be met strictly in two years. Fears
of Japanese-style deflation have been a major talking point in
the Eurozone, where inflation has been in the danger zone of
below 1% for the past few months. However, the ECB stated
that there is no risk of deflation since inflation expectations are
well-anchored. (Reuters)
S&P cuts Brazil’s credit rating to BBB- – Standard & Poor's
(S&P) cut Brazil's sovereign debt rating closer to speculative
territory in a blow to the country’s President Dilma Rousseff,
whose efforts to stir the economy from a year-long slump have
eroded the country's finances. Brazil had its long-term debt
rating downgraded to BBB-, the agency's lowest investment-
grade rating. However, S&P changed its outlook to Stable from
Negative, meaning further downgrades are unlikely for now,
which comes as a relief for both policy makers and financial
markets. Brazil has suffered from slow growth that averaged
about 2% in recent years. Rousseff has tried her best to revive
the economy with tax cuts and social spending, but has been
widely criticized for intervening too much and resorting to
opaque accounting moves to meet budget targets. (Reuters)
