Water

Coverage

BMI's Water service provides unparalleled analysis of investment in new projects and the development of existing facilities in the Middle East. Our analysts constantly revise and update 6 country reports, providing key industry forecasts, project updates and competitive analysis on all major states in the region.

Methodology

The service covers all key developments influencing projects, including official policy and regulation, financing, project management and market demand. At its heart are BMI's proprietary 5-year country forecasts. Given the close connections between the utilities industry and broader macroeconomic performance and the banking sector, our analysis and forecasts are closely integrated with BMI's Country Risk, Infrastructure and Commercial Banking services.

Further key components of the data service include our country-comparative risk-reward Business Environment Rating and our Project Finance Rating. These tools facilitate the critical evaluation of opportunities and operational risk, enabling clients to identify and evaluate investment opportunities.

Our analysis is completed by our comprehensive portfolio of company profiles, which details the activity of all major companies, and our constantly updated key projects database, which covers the progress of all major projects in each state and is fully downloadable for clients.

Expertise

BMI's expertise lies in the dynamic combination of industry and country risk. Our proprietary Water forecasting model uses multi-linear regression analysis of both industry-specific and macroeconomic variables on a state-by-state basis to produce a unique 'bottom-up' model of country prospects. Furthermore, our risk assessment draws directly on our team of expert country business analysts to ensure that our industry-specific conclusions cohere with our broader country view. Combined with our detailed analysis of company activity and industry trends, the result is a uniquely rich evaluation of the opportunities and risks facing companies – total analysis.
