Since Q108, we have described numerically the banking business environment for each of the countries surveyed by BMI. We do this through our Commercial Banking Business Environment Rating (CBBER), a measure that ensures we capture the latest quantitative information available. It also ensures consistency across all countries and between the inputs to the CBBER and the Insurance Business Environment Rating, which is likewise now a feature of our insurance reports. Like the Business Environment Ratings calculated by BMI for all the other industries on which it reports, the CBBER takes into account the limits of potential returns and the risks to the realisation of those returns. It is weighted 70% to the former and 30% to the latter.
The evaluation of the Limits of Potential Returns includes market elements that are specific to the banking industry of the country in question and elements that relate to that country in general. Within the 70% of the CBBER that takes into account the Limits of Potential Returns, the market elements have a 60% weighting and the country elements have a 40% weighting. The evaluation of the Risks to the Realisation of Returns also includes banking elements and country elements (specifically, BMI’s assessment of long-term country risk). However, within the 30% of the CBBER that takes into account the risks, these elements are weighted 40% and 60%, respectively.
Further details on how we calculate the CBBER are provided at the end of this report. In general, though, three aspects need to be borne in mind in interpreting the CBBERs. The first is that the market elements of the Limits of Potential Returns are by far the most heavily weighted of the four elements. They account for 60% of 70% (or 42%) of the overall CBBER. Second, if the market elements are significantly higher than the country elements of the Limits of Potential Returns, it usually implies that the banking sector is (very) large and/or developed relative to the general wealth, stability and financial infrastructure in the country. Conversely, if the market elements are significantly lower than the country elements, it usually means that the banking sector is small and/or underdeveloped relative to the general wealth, stability and financial infrastructure in the country. Third, within the Risks to the Realisation of Returns category, the market elements (ie: how regulations affect the development of the sector, how regulations affect competition within it, and Moody’s Investors Service’s ratings for local currency deposits) can be markedly different from BMI’s long-term risk rating.

BMI Oman Dry Bulk View
In our view the country's industrial development and diversification from its oil and gas production bodes well for mid-term dry bulk shipment volumes.
Oman's dry bulk shipping in our opinion will centre around the development of an iron ore pellet plant being built in the Sultanate, which will require import shipments of bulk iron ore from Brazil and export shipments of iron ore pellets to the Middle East and other steel producing markets.
Oman's port sector is already preparing for the country's expanding dry bulk shipment role with Oman's newest port, the port of Sohar developing to cater for the country's heavy industry needs. Oman Shipping is also preparing itself to cater for Oman's increased dry bulk shipping needs by diversifying its operations into the sector with new build
orders for dry bulk carriers and very large ore carriers (VLOCs)

BMIs Oman Dry Bulk Shipping Key Views:

• Oman to develop into a vital player in the iron ore supply chain
• Oman iron ore shipment to be centered on catering for Middle East demand, but country's
• strategic location would also offer export potential to North Africa and India
• Dry bulk shipping to continue to play a major role in the country's imports for food stuffs and
• construction material
• Oman Shipping to diversify to cater for Oman's changing trade needs
• Potential for Oman to import coal as country diversifies its power sector.

While the outlook for the Oman dry bulk shipping sector looks positive BMI warns that the sector globally is set for a rough ride in H210 and into 2011 as the main driver of the market, China, slows its demand for iron ore.


BMI's Global Dry Bulk Shipping Key Views:

• China effect' in reverse, causing demand for shipping to fall
• Supply-demand imbalance to widen, with excess supply
• Thermal coal demand offers some support, but no panacea
• Vertical integration of miners a discomfort to dry bulkers

At the time of writing the Q410 Oman Telecommunications Report, no new data for Q210 had been released by either the Omani regulator or the country’s operators. New data on the fixed-line market led us to revise our forecasts in the last update, and BMI has not seen a reason to change these. We now foresee a faster-than-expected decline in fixed-line usage, even after the entry of Nawras’ voice and internet offering, while the initial effects of a new effort to disconnect inactive mobile users has seen BMI lower its 2009 baseline for mobile subscriber forecasts. Similarly, we have downplayed our previous forecasts for broadband services, predicated on the slacker growth reported early in 2010. The mobile market supported 4.201mn mobile subscribers at the end of March 2010; this represented a yo- y increase of 25.2%. There was a clear boost in subscriber numbers in Q409 and Q110 that was driven by organic customer additions at Omantel and by sales recorded by the country’s MVNOs. Unlike many other regional markets, the uncertain economic climate did not appear to have had a significant impact on
Omani mobile customer growth in 2009, and the recovery being seen in 2010 will only serve to improve matters, particularly with regards to 3G take-up. The presence of a large number of inactive SIMs, together with a strong multiple SIM ownership trend, enforces our belief that the new inactive customer disconnection policy will lead to noticeable subscriber number reductions in the months ahead. BMI’s revised broadband subscriber forecast for Oman cautiously predicts that the sector will grow by more than 27% in 2010. This is slightly stronger growth than experienced in 2009, but remains well below the growth seen in 2008. Slower growth in 2009 likely reflected the weaker economic climate that prevailed during this time. In 2010, we expect the broadband market to benefit from the launch of WiMAX-based services by Nawras. Omantel has plans to continue investing in the expansion and modernisation of its own broadband infrastructure and has even begun deploying FTTH in selected new residential developments.
One particularly significant development has occurred since BMI’s last report: the launch of Nawras fixed-line and broadband services. Highly important to keep an eye on, it was not a full service launch, and no data yet exists as to how successful it has been in attracting new sign-ups. Services began on July 20 2010, and were offered over a WiMAX delivery network.

]Oman’s consumer electronics devices market, defined as the addressable market for computing devices, mobile handsets and video, audio and gaming products, is forecast at US$480.0mn in 2010. This is expected to increase to US$593.2mn by 2014, driven by new technologies and the growing popularity of digital lifestyle products such as LCD TV sets, feature-rich notebook computers and digital cameras, as well as other key product groups.
Spending is expected to pick up again after 2010, as new technologies and features – such as higher capability netbooks, light emitting diode (LED) TV sets and feature-rich smartphones – and the rollout of 3G services act as demand drivers. However, growth is forecast to remain below pre-credit crunch levels in 2010-2014, as consumers feel the effect of the regional property slump and credit tightening. An evolving retail landscape will help to stimulate sales, with a growing population attracting more large electronics retailers to the market.

Computers

Computer hardware accounted for around 36% of Omani consumer electronics spending in 2009. BMI forecasts Oman’s domestic market computer hardware sales (including notebooks and accessories) of US$170.9mn in 2010, up from US$162.7mn in 2009. Computer hardware compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the 2010- 2014 period is forecast at about 7%, with growth drivers including the government’s Towards Digital Oman strategy. Wireless capabilities will boost demand for PCs, stimulated by new infrastructure investment.


AV Devices

Audio and video (AV) devices accounted for about 30% of Omani consumer electronics spending in 2009. Oman’s addressable AV device market is estimated at US$144mn in 2010. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4% between 2010 and 2014, with growth drivers including LED TV sets and Blu-ray disc players.


Mobile Handsets

Mobile handset sales accounted for around 34% of Omani consumer electronics spending in 2009. Oman’s market handset sales are expected to grow to US$199mn by 2014 as mobile subscriber penetration reaches177%. There will be growing demand for 3G handsets, which could account for about 10% of Oman’s handset sales in 2010. Oman is in the regional vanguard of the mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) trend, following the launch of a third virtual operator, which could lead to a more segmented handset market.
