Wealth of rich Saudi families falls 12%
Riyadh There has been a fall of 12 per cent in the wealth of 14 rich Saudi families during the first three quarters of the current year. The overall value of their assets fell to 98.4 billion Saudi riyals (Dh96.34 billion) from 111.5 billion riyals during the period between January 1 and September 29, according to the latest figures released by Al Joman Centre for Economic Consultancy. The Al Rajhi family is the kingdom’s wealthiest non-royals. Among the 14 families that have so far declared their assets, Al Rajhi topped with a wealth of 46.3 billion riyals. This comprises 47 per cent of the total assets of these families. The Al Rashid family comes second with 5.8 billion riyals on the rich list. It is interesting to note that Al Rashid’s wealth is less than one-seventh that of Al Rajhi. The decline in the wealth of the rich families was attributed mainly to the recent crash in the Saudi stock market. The shares plunged eight per cent during the three quarters of the year, the Sabaq website reported, quoting a statement by the Al Joman Centre. According to the report, there has been an increase in the wealth of four of the 14 families during the period. The decline in the wealth of the rich was attributed to the crash in the Saudi stock market. The shares plunged eight per cent during the three quarters of the year. Source: Gulf News

Huge opportunities in Saudi supermarket business: Tamimi Group
The owners of Tamimi supermarket on Alkhobar's Corniche on Thursday marked the opening of the expanded and renovated grocery store that has defined the company over the last four decades. Since its launch in 1979 it has become a key landmark in the Eastern Province. The supermarket revolutionized the grocery business. Before that Saudi Arabia had the ubiquitous baqalas. In a sense the opening of Tamimi's Alkhobar supermarket symbolized the beginning of modern commerce in Saudi Arabia. Hundreds of customers attended the grand opening of the milestone store. Soon after the launch, pictures were uploaded to Facebook and enthusiasts tweeted about it. Hundreds of expatriates in the US, Europe and Asia who resided in Saudi Arabia in the 1980s and 1990s commented on these photos recalling their memories of the store and its many items. "How does that area look like now?" wrote Peter Isaak, an American who made Alkhobar his home in 1982, while commenting on the launch photo. "I will never forget the many trips we would make to Tamimi supermarket to get stuff that we thought we would never get in Saudi Arabia." "This particular store is our flagship ... This one led to the success of the Tamimi Group of Companies. We became a household name after this store," said Group President Tariq A. Tamimi, one of the sons of Ali Tamimi, the group founder. "We have a special attachment with this store, and this is the reason why we have invested so much in it." He says competition has not driven the investment. "We have gone in for an aggressive strategy because this is still an untapped market," he added. "Saudi Arabia is growing, and we think there are huge opportunities in the supermarket business. The population is growing; they have become quality conscious and brand conscious. Our priority is to provide them the best." Tamimi is known for quality products, but it has lost business to hypermarkets that provide a range of products at lower prices. "We are catering to a different segment altogether. We have organic food, and that comes at a high cost. Those who are health-conscious and are aware of what organic food is all about understand what we are talking about," said Tamimi. "Our major focus now is the growing Saudi population; they form the bulk of our clientele." To all those who have been Tamimi's loyal customers for years, the president's message is: "Come see for yourself what we have done for you. You will love shopping with us. We have got everything that you are looking for, and quality is our benchmark." The new supermarket's ultimate selling point is its prime location and the fact that it is open 24/7. "We have taken into account the feedback from our regular customers and factored in their needs," said Mohsen S. Husain, food division general manager. "We are now in the process of launching new stores in other places." Tamimi supermarket was the only building in the area in 1979. "I have been with this group for 35 years," said Mohammed Ilyas Khan, who is now vice president and managing director of Tamimi Global Co. Ltd. "Across the road everything was part of the sea," he says pointing to the glitzy Alkhobar Corniche area that has now become the location for a number of coffeehouses, top brands and fast-food outlets. "Most of this area was reclaimed from the sea," he said. According to Khan, Tamimi Alkhobar is very dear to the owners. "I remember Ustaz Ali Tamimi spending much of his time at this store. He took personal interest in this outlet and would listen to his customers patiently to ensure that they got what they wanted. A whole generation of Saudis and expatriates in Saudi Arabia grew up buying their daily products from in here. It is fitting that this superstore has been redone in such a fabulous way; it is the company's tribute and commitment to its customers." "Such is our commitment to this store that we might close everything but not this one," quipped Fawaz T. Tamimi, head of the group's business development division. "This is our life. This is our legacy." Source: Arab News

Makkah rail project construction to start in 2013
Construction of an urban mass rail transit system for the holy city of Makkah is slated to start in 2013, with operations beginning four years later, the company behind the project said on Saturday. AlBalad AlAmeen Company (BAC) said it is working with an advisory team of Ernst & Young, Ashurst and Parsons Brinckerhoff to develop the procurement packages for the first stage of the system, including rail infrastructure, railway systems, rolling stock, depot and operations. The company said in a statement that expressions of interest for stage 1 are anticipated by the end of this year. Makkah faces significant congestion and transportation challenges as a focal point of the Hajj, the Islamic pilgrimage, which attracts millions of visitors to the city every year. The city's own population is also growing rapidly and is estimated to double to three million by 2035. The Makkah Mass Rail Transit project (MMRT) is a key aspect of the Municipality's strategy to address these growth challenges and the current public transport deficit. The project will involve the construction of four new rail lines. Stage 1 will include the construction of sections of Lines B and C. Line B section will be 10km long, with six new stations and will mainly be underground. It will be an extension of the existing Al Mashaaer Al Mugaddassah rail line, serving the holy shrines of Arafat, Muzdalifah and Mina, and will connect to the new Haramain high-speed rail station west of Makkah city. Line C will be 29 kilometres long with 14 new stations, and will be constructed in a combination of tunnels and viaducts. The other two Lines, A and D, will be constructed in future stages.

Saudi contracts exceed SR 84 bn in first half
Saudi Arabia awarded contracts worth more than SR84 billion in the first half of this year and their total value through 2011 will likely surpass that in 2010, the Gulf kingdom's largest bank said on Sunday. Around SR34.5 billion worth of government contracts were awarded in the second quarter of 2011, bringing the total value to SR84.2 billion ($22.5 billion) in the first half, National Commercial BankNational Commercial Bank (NCBNCB) said. In a study sent to Emirates 24/7, NCBNCB said the high value of contracts awarded in the first half was a result of increasing spending on infrastructure within the country's latest five-year development plan. "The value of awarded contracts reached SAR84.2 billion by the end of the first half of the year, indicating that 2010's total value of awarded contracts is likely to be surpassed this year," the study said. "The government's focus to fulfill its citizen's demands for improved infrastructure capabilities played a significant role as more than 31 per cent of the value of awarded contracts during the second quarter were directed towards infrastructure related sectors. However, the residential real estate and power sectors garnered the highest percentage of the value of awarded contracts, accounting for 26 and 23 per cent respectively." The report said that though the total value of awarded contracts fell compared to last quarter, the value at which the contracts are being awarded is "staggering." The figures showed that the SR34.5 billion in awarded contracts during the second quarter represents a 43 per cent increase compared to the second quarter of 2010 when the value was SR24.2 billion. Furthermore, the SAR84.2 billion in awarded contracts during the first half represents a whopping156 per cent increase over the first half of 2010 when the value was around SR33 billion, the report added. NCBNCB said the surge boosted its Construction Contracts Index (CCI) to a staggering 205.3 points at the end of the first half of this year from 90.36 points at the end of the first half of 2010. "This reflects the robustness of the country's construction industry over the past six months in particular as the initiatives from the annual budget and King Abdullah's royal decrees are currently being implemented." In terms of geographical break-up, Riyadh accounted for the highest portion of awarded contracts by value with a 26 per cent share, the report showed. It attributed this to a significant residential real estate contract which will cover an area of four million square kilometers. The Eastern Province had 25 per cent of the value of contracts as a considerable portion of industrial, water and urban development contracts were awarded. The Makkah and Madinah regions accounted for 16 and 15 per cent, respectively. The main contract awards in those regions were residential real estate projects in Jeddah and a power contract in Yanbu. "The rate at which contracts have been awarded during the first half of this year has brought numerous opportunities for both, large and SMEs players. The demand for improved services in infrastructure, power, and real estate sectors were the main drivers of high value contract awards," NCBNCB said. "This frenzied pace is expected to continue through the second half as there are numerous high value projects that are in the bidding phases and are expected to be awarded in the third quarter." NCBNCB said one such bid that is expected to be awarded is phase two of the Haramain high-speed railway project at an estimated value of SR30 billion. Additionally, King Abdullah's royal decree regarding the 500,000 housing units to be constructed is expected to commence during the second half. "With oil prices projected to average at $95 in 2011, the surplus in state revenues will increase capital expenditures in construction in the medium-term." Source: Emirates 24/7

The prince said the king had instructed him to continue work on the project around the clock and seven days a week. "I have promised him that it will be done." Prince Khaled hoped that the Jeddah flood projects would bring about a total change in the methodology of implementing giant projects in the country. "Citizens and residents are looking forward to this project with great hope and are following its every detail and development," the governor said.
