After a series of gradual share acquisitions since 2009, NBK's stake in Boubyan bank reached 58.4% in 2012. Through Boubyan, NBK aims at diversifying its income stream, complementing its product offering as well as targeting a new segment of clients. ■ The size and market share development of Boubyan relative to other Islamic banks leaves significant room for repositioning the bank and acquiring market share. ■ As the largest single shareholder, NBK is committed to the future growth and transformation of Boubyan Bank and establishing a strong presence in the growing Islamic banking segment. Leading international consulting firms have assisted Boubyan in developing a new strategy aiming to differentiate the bank from other players with a clear focus on HNWI, affluent and mid/large companies. ■ The Bank's transformation and strategy implementation is led by a highly proficient management team with extensive regional banking experience, with key positions filled by NBK veterans aligned with the NBK culture.

Headline growth could rebound to 0.5% in 2021 as these cuts are partially reversed. Non-oil GDP contracted 8.8% in 2020 after mobility restrictions were imposed to contain the pandemic. Growth could rebound 3.0% in 2021 as private consumption recovers. After cutting spending in FY20/21 to address the fiscal deficit, the FY21/22 budget outlined a 7% rise in outlays, including a targeted 20% rise in capex. If implemented, this would help spur the recovery in economic growth. Inflation accelerated to 2.1% in 2020, mainly on higher food prices, and is expected to average 2.5% in 2021; there is some downside risk from potential softness in residential real estate rents.

Total spending (POS/ATM) was up 49% y/y in June 2021, albeit boosted by weakness at the same time last year. 8 6 Credit Growth Loan payment deferrals, the number of nationals in stable public sector jobs and reduced overseas travel have supported spending. Private credit growth has slowed so far this year, up 2.9% y/y in April 2021. But household borrowing is strong and business credit should benefit from the economy returning to a more normal footing. The policy interest rate is at 1.5%. Deposits were down 1.2% y/y in April, but the reinstatement of loan repayment deferrals should be positive; government deposit growth (-7.5% y/y) should get a boost from higher oil prices this year, helping liquidity. Real Estate Activity Property sales have returned to pre-Covid levels having been hard-hit in 2020. Recent strength is mostly from the residential sector which could hold up well given the solid demand base and potentially get a further boost if the mortgage law is approved.
