JCCI asks Commerce Ministry to privatize some of its services
JEDDAH: The Jeddah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (JCCI) asked the Ministry of Commerce and Industry to relinquish some of its public services, including issuance and renewal of commercial registration, to the general service offices to expedite the processing of paper work, reduce government red tape and ensure new sources of income to the citizens running these offices. In a letter to the ministry published Friday by business daily Al-Eqtisadiah, the chamber said by giving up part of its services to the private sector, the ministry will reduce the crowding of citizens at its various offices and branches. "This will also ensure that these services will be extended for a long time and at many places instead of the official branches of the ministry," the letter said. Chairman of the JCCI's services committee Ahmed Al-Qarni said the letter asked for partnership between the public and private sector to provide quick services to the citizens. "Hundreds of people come to the ministry and its branches from Jeddah and the nearby regions. When the ministry gives part of its services to the public service offices, this will intensify competition between the private sector and the ministry to ensure better services to the citizens," he said. Al-Qarni noted that the offices have more flexibility to be present at malls and shopping center to provide their services for longer time than the ministry which is only working during the official work hours. "The ministry has many duties to look after. When it allocates the issuing and renewal of commercial registration to the public service offices it will save a lot of time to purse its other duties diligently especially in monitoring markets and fighting commercial fraud," he said. Al-Qarni cited the example of the Jeddah Municipality which had privatized many of the municipal services and said the experiment was successful and expedited the services being offered to the citizens. "The municipality gave up its authority to issue and renew municipal licenses to the private sector beside the appointment of municipal controllers and surveyors," he recalled. He said the municipality gave up about 100 the services it was providing to about 14 private establishments without losing its central role in the municipal services. Al-Qarni criticized the centralization of the government services and said it is slowing down the trade activities which do not usually stand the routine and the slowness of services.

Investors push for govt role in development of suburbs
DAMMAM -- Investors in real estate have united in their call for the government to facilitate the building of residential neighborhoods outside the main cities of the Kingdom. Universally referred to as "suburbs", the concept has yet to take off in the Middle East. The advantages of such development are many but the two principal benefits are the low price of land, which makes the houses affordable to the middle class families, and the dissipation of crowding and congestion in the city centers. However, this advantages are offset by the investment required for infrastructure development, including construction of roads and expansion of utilities. This is the reason real estate developers push the government to take an active role in building new residential neighborhoods. Muhammad Bin Saleh Al-Khaleel, Deputy Chairman of the National Committee for Real Estate, believes the suburbs will not only provide affordable housing for citizens but will also create much needed employment opportunities. However, he expressed fears that the established real estate companies could not build new neighborhoods on their own given the huge infrastructure costs involved. He strongly suggests the government should raise 50 percent of the capital by initiating a public subscription. Bassam Boudi, Managing Director and Executive President of Jenan Real Estate Company, concurs. "This scale of projects would never succeed without the support of the government. Having provided their wholehearted support to the industrial sector for the last three decades I think it is time to focus on creating the future housing stock our Kingdom so urgently requires," he said. Boudi pointed that the success of the UAE's suburbs as a model worth emulating. Khaled Barashid, Deputy Chairman of the Real Estate Committee at the Eastern Province Chamber of Commerce and Industry, urged the officials who are responsible for the Housing and Urban Development sector to seriously think about offering feasible investment opportunities and incentives to the real estate developers. "They possess the necessary expertise to provide our citizens with smarter residential solutions incorporating the latest technologies -- such as fibre optic networks -- and environment-friendly buildings," he said.

Saudi GACA Seeks to Cut Price of Fuel Sold to Foreign Airlinws-Report
Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Civil Aviation, or GACA, is in talks with Saudi Aramco and other local official bodies to cut the price of jet fuel sold to foreign airlines using the country's airports, Saudi-based Al Eqtisadiah daily reports Saturday, citing an official. The price cuts could also apply to the new airlines that will soon be granted licenses to operate domestic flights in the kingdom, Faisal Al Sugair, GACA's vice president, told the paper. The national carrier Saudi Arabian Airlines buys fuel at a subsidized price. Mr. Sugair told the paper the aim is to create a competitive environment and to match local prices with the global average. He added that the rates charged by Aramco are higher than similar prices in neighboring countries such as Sudan Source: Zawya

GACA asks Aramco to cut jet fuel price - report.
Aviation authorities in Saudi Arabia have asked the country’s biggest oil producer to reduce its jet fuel prices in preparation for the entrance of new domestic airlines, a local newspaper reported. Saudi’s General Civil Aviation Authority (GACA) believes that Saudi Aramco should reduce the amount it charges for aviation fuel to bring prices in line with neighbouring Gulf countries and stimulate competition in the domestic market. “Aramco is charging airline companies prices higher than international prices, even in neighbouring countries with lesser potential,” GACA vice president Faisal Al-Sugair told Al-Eqtisadiah. “It is unreasonable that the world’s top oil producer demands a higher price than other countries with lesser oil resources.” Al-Sugair added that higher jet fuel prices can lead to airlines choosing to refuel outside of Saudi Arabia and that aircraft landing at airports in the Gulf kingdom with fuller fuel tanks could cause damage runways. Currently, Saudi Arabia’s domestic aviation market is served only by Saudi Arabian Airlines and low-cost nasair, but GACA is currently in the process of opening up this market to foreign carriers. A third, Sama Airlines, ceased operations in 2011. Qatar Airways, Bahrain Air Gulf Air are among the 14 carriers to have applied to GACA to setup a domestic airline in Saudi. Approval for new carriers to expected in 4Q2013. Source: Arabian Business

Saudi to add 30 women to Shoura Council - report.
Authorities in Saudi Arabia are expected to name 30 women to the kingdom’s consultative Shoura Council before the start of its next annual session, Al-Sharq reported. The 150-member body, which sits in Riyadh, has the power to propose legislation to the country’s absolute ruler King Abdullah, but cannot pass laws itself. Since the council was founded, it has been completely male dominated. In September 2011, King Abullah announced that women would be eligible to sit in the council for the first time. “We made this decision because we refuse to marginalize women in Saudi society in their roles that comply with the Islamic Shariah and following consultations with many of our scholars who supported it,” King Abdullah said at the time. Al-Sharq, citing sources close to the Shoura Council, said that negotiations had begun with institutions in the Gulf kingdom to put forward names of eligible women. The final decision on the chosen 30 will lie with a high-level panel headed by King Abdullah, the newspaper reported. Initial criteria are that females must be over 30-years old and hold Saudi Arabian citizenship. Saudi Arabia, the most populous country in the Gulf, enforces strict segregation of males and females throughout many aspects of day-to-day life. Women are prohibited from driving and must obtain their husband or another male guardian’s permission to take employment or travel. Last year, King Abullah announced that women would be permitted to vote and stand in municipal elections from 2015. Source: Arabian Business

Up to 200 Saudi students face deportation from UK
Around 200 Saudi Arabian students at London Metropolitan University (LMU) face deportation from the UK after the academic institution’s right to sponsor non-EU students was revoked. The UK Border Agency (UKBA) made the decision after deeming that the university had failed to adequately monitor attendance and that some students may not have the right to reside in the country. Saudi authorities have subsequently setup a panel to advise students who may be facing deportation, Arab News reported. "Through its embassy in London, Saudi Arabia has set up the panel or what can be described as a working group to help Saudi students affected by the sudden decision of the UKBA," Faisal bin Mohammed Al-Mahna Abalkhail, cultural attache at the Saudi Embassy, was quoted as saying. Part of the panel’s remit will involve finding Saudi students places and sponsorship at alternative universities in the UK. A number of students at LMU protested outside 10 Downing Street, the UK prime minister’s office, following the UKBA’s decision to strip the university of its ability to sponsor non-EU students. More than 2,000 overseas students are said to have been affected by the change. Source: Arabian Business

Kingdom lands in top 15 export markets for SWiss watches
JEDDAH – Saudi Arabia is one among the top 15 markets for Swiss watches as the Swiss watch industry continued to record strong growth during the first half of 2012 while maintaining a brisk pace. The total value of exports by Swiss watch manufacturers amounted to 10.1 billion francs in six months. The 10 billion franc mark has been exceeded for the first time before the middle of the year, representing an increase of 16.4 percent compared to 2011. The first six months all recorded steady growth. Only April (+8.5 percent) failed to show a two-digit rate of variation due to a very unfavorable base effect. June produced the best performance with an upturn of 21.7 percent. In the first half of 2012, Saudi Arabia landed in the 14th place, with a total value of exports amounting to 160.4 million franc ($188.011) or an increase of 18.1 percent from the same period last year. Hong Kong topped the list with export value reaching 2.175 billion francs, or a 25.7 percent surge from the same period last year. United States and China were second and third with a total value of 1.0734 billion francs and 833.8 million francs, respectively. Wristwatches accounted for the major part of watch and clock exports. Their total value was 9.5 billion francs, 16.9 percent higher than January-June 2011. The number of timepieces remained close to the previous level at 14.1 million units (+1.4 percent). Timepieces manufactured from precious metals recorded the highest increases. Gold in particular made a strong showing, bringing it on a par with steel in terms of export value even though the number of pieces is not comparable. While the total increase in volumes was modest, most materials played a contributing role. Growth was driven by the segment of watches costing more than 3,000 francs (export price). Here, value rose by 25.4 percent compared to 2011. Timepieces costing less than 200 francs recorded a decline in the number of pieces (-1.9 percent), offset by the upturn in the 200-500 franc category (+11.0 percent). Watches between 500 and 3,000 francs recorded a more modest increase (+3.4 percent by value and +4.7 percent by volume). Other products exported by the Swiss watch industry totaled 615.8 million francs (+9.4 percent). In this category, supplies as a whole recorded a downturn (-16.2 percent), while exports of movements were up 11.5 percent in value terms. Alarm clocks and other clocks accounted for a low value of 19.0 million francs, comparable to last year (-1.5 percent). – SG/QJM Source: Saudi Gazette
