Projects ON…Thanks to Fiscal Buffers The GCC is taking on the projects development consistently, regardless of the decline in oil prices in second half of 2014, and the same applies to whole of the Middle East region. Considering Saudi's account, 2015 budget sees spending at 860 billion riyals ($229.3 billion) and revenues at 715 billion riyals ($190.7 billion). Revenues hit lower than 2014 estimates and the budget shortfall of 2015 is the first deficit projected by the OPEC since 2011. Despite all, taking advantage of the accumulated wealth, Saudi goes strong, as ever. In words of Ibrahim bin Abdulaziz al-Assaf, the finance minister, KSA, “the reserves built over many years have given the Kingdom the depth and a line of defense that come in handy in times of need.” This plus point prevails through most of the GCC region. Leading the way in the power and water sectors, GCC is projected to invest $300 billion-plus in about 20 energy projects by 2020, which will generate 8 gigawatts of additional power.Oil & Gas spree continues with high ticket projects in pipeline. Whether it is multi-billion dollar new KNPC'S MINA AL-AHMADI FIFTH GAS TRAIN PROJECT refinery project in Kuwait, or expansion of gas processing capacity in UAE, all are catching speed to complete as per schedule.
