This 27th edition follows a similar structure to previous years in outlining the key developments across European football, but the storyline that flows through has changed somewhat. The phenomenal growth of the English Premier League, capped by its financial record breaking 2016/17 season, seems to have at last delivered a consistently profitable picture for top tier clubs and more signs of long-term financial sustainability for those in the Football League.

The National Agency for Mineral Resources (NAMR) is responsible for granting licences and regulating Romania's oil and gas industry. Under Romania's Oil Law, all subsoil oil and gas belongs to the Romanian state and exploration and extraction rights are granted through concession agreements with NAMR. Romania does not offer production-sharing agreements. The president of the Romanian Mineral Resources Agency has said the country will need to introduce rules and regulations to govern the creation of a shale gas sector. The government is hoping to develop the unconventional source to help reduce imports of Russian gas. Currently there is no licensing regime specific to shale gas, and we believe, due to greater potential in the Black Sea, progress on shale developments will take more time.

The 2018/2019 season, which began harvesting in June, will see wheat production weaken from the record output of the 2017/2018 season. Nonetheless, we still forecast the third highest wheat production on record. In the long term Russia will continue growing its share of the global wheat export market.

The oil sector is concentrated in the hands of several domestic companies, with limited direct international oil company (IOC) involvement. No foreign company or consortium is allowed more than a 50% share in oil and gas assets in Russia and the country has a specific law to protect strategic assets - those over 70mn tonnes (0.5bn barrels) or over 50bcm. Majority-owned state firms dominate the Russian market - particularly Rosneft for oil, Gazprom for gas and Transneft for midstream. Regulatory oversight remains limited and poorly enforced, given that the majority of production and pipelines are government owned.

Grain production in Saudi Arabia stands on the threshold of disappearance, as the government aims to phase out wheat production. The national policy is aimed towards conserving water in the country and will result in virtually full reliance on grain imports to feed the growing levels of national demand. We expect steady growth in grains consumption out to 2022 with Saudi Arabia remaining a large importer of grains over the medium to long term.

In July 2018, Almarai became a boycott target of Saudi consumers after the company raised prices on its core dairy products. A social media campaign is circulating photos of a popular yogurt drink plastered with a red X and the phrase “let it go sour” and “change it with another” (in Arabic) after Almarai raised the price of a litre of milk by SAR0.25 (USD0.7). In a statement, Almarai said it raised prices because its own costs went up after the government cut energy subsidies and introduced new fees on foreign workers.
