Reasons to Buy

Bribery and corruption have been prevalent in Saudi defense procurement for many years, largely due to the monopolistic status exercised by the government over the purchase decisions of its armed forces. According to Transparency International, Saudi Arabia has insufficient safeguards against corruption in the defense industry. For example, corruption charges were leveled against a unit of EADS UK with regards to US$3.3 billion communication contract and being investigated by the UK Serious Fraud Office over bribery allegations in the country.

Foreign investors may be deterred from entering the Saudi Arabian defense market because of scarcity of skilled labor, induced by the lack of industrial capabilities within the country. Nitaqat law makes it mandatory for the companies to have a minimum of 10% local employees and scarcity of skilled labor complicates the business environment for foreign companies. Although the government is focusing on making amendments, the non-employment rate has increased in recent years resulting in internal conflicts adding to the foreign companies woes.


Key Highlights

The Saudi Arabian governments’ hopes of strengthening its defense infrastructure in order to emerge as the most powerful nation in the Middle East have been supported by many years of high oil prices and strong economic growth. Strained relationship with Iran: The rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran in the Middle East is a regional power struggle for influence, in which both sides have aimed at steering the course of events, shaping developments, and influencing decisions in the region according to their political preferences and interests. Over the past few months, relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran have been mired in tensions which are rooted in the Arab revolutions and Saudi Arabia's support of the West's sanctions against Iran. As a result of the Arab Spring, Saudi Arabia has lost the support of Egypt, its main ally in its leadership of the anti-Iran camp. Iran has also lost its main ally, Syria, which is currently fighting for its survival amid the wave of protests sweeping the country. The difference between the Iranian and the Saudi approaches to the events in Syria is worsening the tension between them. In addition, Saudi Arabia is deeply concerned about Irans growing infiltration of Iraq, especially following the withdrawal of American troops from that country. In an effort to counter Irans influence, the Saudi government has increased its focus on developing technologically superior military capabilities.

Saudi Arabia’s homeland security market is being largely driven by increasing security threats, such as insurgents from Yemen, domestic terror groups, jihadists from Iraq, and its volatile relationship with Iran. The increasing incidence of Al-Qaeda training camps and domestic instability, due to the royal family’s perceived disregard for traditional Muslim customs, further intensify domestic instability. Moreover, the nation’s socio-economic situation adversely affects homeland security. Factors such as high unemployment rate, which stood at 12.1% in 2012, the rising level of poverty, and a lack of balanced economic development, all contribute to the growing prevalence of terrorism within the country. Given the chaos that the Middle East experienced over the past few years, especially with respect to the current civil war in Syria, the increasing activities of Islamic fundamentalist groups in countries such as Yemen, and the on-going insurgency related conflicts in Iraq, it is imperative for Saudi Arabia to strengthen its internal security forces to contain any potential threat within its territory.

The lack of a well-established defense industry forces Saudi Arabia to rely on imports from foreign companies. During 2008-2012, the country’s defense imports increased significantly, peaking in 2011. Aircraft dominated the imports during this period, which the US and the UK being the preferred sources. Major contracts signed during 2011-2012 will drive the country’s imports over the forecast period, which is expected to see the similar trend. Aircraft accounted for 51.8% of total defense equipment imports by the country during 2008-2012 and Saudi Arabia is expected to follow the same trend over 2013-2017.

* The report helps the reader to understand the competitive landscape of the defense industry in Kenya. It provides an overview of key defense companies, both domestic and foreign, together with insights such as key alliances, strategic initiatives, and a brief financial analysis.


Key Market Issues

Kenya stands as one of the countries that encounter high levels of corruption in virtually all sectors of business activity. According to Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index 2013, Kenya is classified as a highly corrupt country. Corruption within the country has engraved itself in various forms ranging from bureaucratic and political affairs and misappropriation of public resources to fraud transactions related to state assets. To tackle the situation, the government formed the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC), which was disbanded and replaced by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission in 2011.

During the forecast period, Kenya is expected to invest US$5.5 billion in its armed forces, of which US$0.9 billion is forecast to be on the acquisition of military hardware, offering foreign OEMs limited opportunities to cater to the Kenyan defense industry. Although the allocation is higher than that of the review period, when it was US$0.6 billion, the budget still remains highly inadequate for the procurement of high-tech defense equipment. Furthermore, the country is expected to focus more on developing its economic conditions and bring in more wealth and prosperity for its people in the coming years. These factors do not make the Kenyan defense market an attractive investment destination for foreign companies.


Key Highlights

Kenya has been involved in a border dispute with Somalia over the last couple of years with Somali militant groups operating in Kenya's remote and barren North Eastern Province. Counties in the Kenyan region such as Wajir, Isiolo, and Mandera remain exposed to chronic instability making it difficult for local communities to lead a peaceful life. In 2010, extremist group Al-Shabaab attacked a Kenyan border patrol in Liboi,Lagdera. To combat such violent outbreaks, the Kenyan Defence Forceswaged a military operation against Al-Shabaab in southern Somalia and took control of certain Somali regions as well as some Kenyan territories including Ijara, Garissa, and Liboi. Tensions between the two neighboring nations heightened in 2012 following the discovery of offshore oil and gas deposits in East Africa, with both countries claiming to have ownership over the water zone. Furthermore, Kenya shares a long-standing strained relationship with South Sudan over the disputed land of IIemi Triangle in East Africa. During the forecast period, Kenya's efforts to strengthen its border security are expected to lead to the procurement of advanced surveillance technology and equipment including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and scanners as well as better military training sessions.

Kenya has one of the highest instances of human trafficking in East Africa and is on the Tier 2 Watch List for human trafficking. Neighboring countries such as Somalia, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Uganda, and Tanzania are from where the victims are sought and trafficked. While men and women are trafficked for the purpose of forced labor and the sex trade, children are exploited for domestic servitude, forced labor in agriculture, cattle herding, begging, and bars attendance. The country also acts as a transit point through which Chinese, Indian, and Pakistani women are taken to European countries to be pushed into illicit activities. Over the forecast period, the government is expected to invest in strengthening its border security via the procurement of surveillance and monitoring equipment, both on land and along the coast, to control such activities.

Kenya's domestic defense industry is not able to fulfill much of its requirements and the country therefore relies on imports from foreign original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to satisfy the demand for military modernization. During the period 2010-2012, Kenya displayed a fluctuating level of imports. In an attempt to enhance the capabilities of its armed forces, Kenya is expected to import defense equipment such as helicopters, armored vehicles, and UAVs during the forecast period. Kenya currently does not export arms as the domestic defense industry is under-developed, but this trend is not expected to change over the forecast period.
