UAE markets 18 Sep 2007

UAE market news & discussions for 18 September 2007

Both UAE markets increased slightly today on improving volumes.

Emaar released news about their new Dubai CEO 0... 3 weeks after we already heard. And in the same vein of timely corporate disclosures, we get news of the AED 4.6 billion Meydan contract awarded to the Arabtec joint venture, 3 weeks after Arabtec denied the first report. The contract looks like it could be worth an extra 2 dhs on Arabtec's current share price, but the market wasn't quite so responsive.

Etisalat said they were going to reduce staff numbers in Pakistan Telecom after profits fell. Etisalat and Zain (Kuwait) have submitted their bids for Qatar's second mobile license. Zain's CEO said they were not going to overbid and so did not expect to win the license. Etisalat's Chairman said they would "compete fiercely" for the licence.
