MPHC restructures partnership for salt production facility in Qatar
Tribune News Network Doha Mesaieed Petrochemical Holding Company (MPHC) has announced a major restructuring in the partnership framework for its upcoming state-of-the-art salt production facility in Qatar. This development comes as a follow-up to the company's earlier announcement made on September 23, 2024. In a mutual agreement, the Turkish partner Atlas has exited the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that was initially signed for the development and operation of the facility. With this exit, the project will now move forward under a revised joint venture ownership structure comprising MPHC and Qatar Industrial Manufacturing Company (QIMC). Under the new arrangement, MPHC will hold a 60 percent equity stake while QIMC will own the remaining 40 percent. The restructuring represents a significant milestone in the project's progression, paving the way for more streamlined operations and stronger collaboration between the two Qatari entities. The planned facility is set to incorporate advanced salt production technologies, with the objective of meeting rising demand in the region and contributing to Qatar's ongoing efforts toward industrial diversification. QAPCO will continue to serve as the project development manager, providing all necessary support throughout the various phases of the project. MPHC has stated that further updates will be provided in due course, particularly as the project approaches the Final Investment Decision (FID) stage. Once completed, the cutting-edge salt production facility is expected to play a pivotal role in supporting key industrial sectors in Qatar and boosting the nation's manufacturing capabilities.

QCB allots QR1.75 bn in bill auction, draws QR5 bn in bids
Tribune News Network Doha In a move aimed at managing liquidity in the banking sector and reinforcing its monetary policy framework, the Qatar Central Bank (QCB) successfully concluded its latest auction of QCB bills on Thursday, allocating a total of QR1.75 billion to participating banks. The auction attracted bids worth QR5 billion, reflecting strong demand for the central bank's liquidity management instruments. The allocation was spread across various tenors ranging from 7 days to 364 days and included both new issuances and tap issuances. A new issuance for a 7-day tenor accounted for the highest single allocation, with QR500 million allotted at a yield of 4.610 percent. The highest yield in the auction was recorded for the 28-day tenor tap issuance, which saw an allocation of QR250 million at a yield of 4.620 percent. A 91-day tenor, also through tap issuance, was allocated QR250 million at a yield of 4.516 percent. The 189-day tap issuance attracted the same amount, with a slightly lower yield of 4.385 percent. Longer-dated maturities included a 280-day tap issuance and a 364-day new issuance, each with allocations of QR250 million. These carried yields of 4.289 percent and 4.220 percent, respectively — the lowest among all the tenors offered in this round. The mix of new and tap issuances shows QCB's flexible strategy in supporting market liquidity and sustaining a predictable short-term yield curve. Tap issuances, in particular, offer the central bank an efficient tool to reissue existing bills in response to market appetite. The successful completion of this auction underscores QCB's ongoing commitment to effective monetary policy operations and its proactive role in ensuring liquidity management within Qatar's banking system.
