Sharakah extends financial support to Star Wooden Pallets for expansion
This financing is facilitated through Rawafid, a fintech innovation crowdfunding platform.
The financial support agreement was signed by Ahmed Ali Said Al Kathiri, the founder of Star Wooden Pallets Company, and Ali Ahmed Muqaibal, CEO of Sharakah.
A spokesperson from Sharakah expressed enthusiasm about this partnership, highlighting how it aligns with their mission to support local businesses and contribute to their long-term strategies.
He said: 'This collaboration with SWP represents a significant opportunity to drive innovation, enhance operational efficiency, and support the company's future growth. The spokesperson also noted that Sharakah is proud to back SWP as it transitions to a fully automated production line, which will boost efficiency and help meet the growing demand for high-quality wooden pallets. Through such partnerships, Sharakah aims to provide valuable resources and support to SMEs, empowering them to achieve sustainable growth and success.'
Star Wooden Pallets Company, established in 2020, specialises in the manufacture of wooden pallets and operates from its headquarters in Raysut Industrial City (Madyan), Salalah. Despite being a relatively young company, SWP has rapidly scaled its operations due to high local demand, serving major clients. With the new term loan facility, SWP plans to finance part of the purchase of a fully automated pallet production line that incorporates advanced German technology, sourced from a Turkish supplier.
An SWP spokesperson described the partnership with Sharakah as a landmark moment in the company's growth journey and said: 'Sharakah's invaluable support opens doors to new opportunities and strategic growth.'
This collaboration between Sharakah and Star Wooden Pallets Company reflects Sharakah's ongoing commitment to empowering SMEs in Oman. As Oman continues to focus on diversifying its economy and promoting entrepreneurship, such initiatives play a vital role in shaping a resilient and dynamic business landscape, the company said. – TradeArabia News Service

Saudi Arabia Drinks 36 Million Cups Of Coffee Daily, $320 Million Push To Boost Production
Coffee consumption in Saudi Arabia is booming at a pace that places the kingdom among the world's most caffeinated societies. Saudis now drink an estimated 36 million cups of coffee every day, according to the Saudi Restaurants and Cafés Association, in a market valued between $1.3 and $1.9 billion annually. The surge reflects more than taste. Coffee culture has become deeply embedded in Saudi daily life, powered by a youthful population — nearly 70 per cent of Saudis are under 35 — and by a dramatic expansion of cafés, from sleek international chains to local brands. As of mid-2024, Saudi Arabia's population is estimated at 35.3 million, with 19.6 million Saudi nationals and 15.7 million non-Saudis, providing context for the Kingdom's booming coffee consumption. The Ministry of Commerce said more than 61,000 business licences for cafés have been issued across the country, including 27,000 for traditional neighbourhood coffee shops. Top 10 countries that drink the most coffee per capita Finland: 4 to 5 cups per person daily; light roast filter coffee is most popular, and coffee breaks are legally mandated at work. Norway: Several cups daily, often black 'kokekaffe'; coffee is a staple of morning and social life. Iceland: A strong café culture despite its small population; coffee is drunk throughout the day, especially in colder months. Denmark: Coffee is tied to the lifestyle of hygge ; typically enjoyed with pastries during cozy gatherings. Netherlands: Coffee is served throughout the day, usually black or with a splash of milk, often offered to guests as a sign of hospitality. Sweden: Known for the fika tradition, where coffee is paired with something sweet; an important part of both work and family life. Switzerland: Espresso and café crème dominate; cafés are common gathering places paired with pastries or chocolate. Belgium: A mix of filter and espresso drinks; often served with chocolates or desserts in both social and business settings. Luxembourg: Influenced by French and German coffee styles, ranging from espresso to French press. Canada: The only non-European country in the top ten; coffee is a daily habit, often from Tim Hortons or brewed at home. Ahmed Al Kashqari, chief executive of the Saudi Restaurants and Cafés Association, said cafés now account for 16 percent of Saudi Arabia's food service sector, a space once dominated by restaurants. 'Coffee has become part of our lifestyle,' he said, noting that the sector continues to grow at an annual rate of more than 5 per cent. With 36 million cups consumed daily, this averages to roughly one cup per person per day, highlighting how deeply coffee culture has taken root across the Kingdom. Behind the explosion in consumption is a parallel push to build a domestic coffee industry. The Saudi Coffee Company, a subsidiary of the Public Investment Fund, has pledged nearly $320 million over the next decade to plant 5 million coffee trees by 2030. The initiative aims to increase local production from 800 tonnes a year to more than 10,000 tonnes, enhancing the country's role in a global coffee market valued at $270 billion in 2024 and projected to rise to $369 billion by 2030. Saudi Arabia's ambition is not only economic but also cultural: A bid to establish itself as a regional hub for specialty coffee while honoring the deep heritage of Arabian beans, particularly the prized Khawlani variety, nurtured for generations in the misty southern highlands. In a nation once wary of public café culture, the shift has been dramatic. Barnes, a Saudi chain, now operates more than 800 outlets, outpacing Dunkin' with more than 600 and Starbucks with more than 450. Other local names such as Kyan and Dr. Café are also expanding rapidly, showing that Saudi brands increasingly rival global giants on home turf. And for many young Saudis, cafés have become more than a place for a caffeine fix; they have become social hubs and cultural venues, hosting art shows, book readings, and business meetings. 'Cafés are no longer just about coffee, they're about community,' Al Kashqari said. How Saudis compare globally While Saudi Arabia's consumption is striking, it still falls short of the world's most avid coffee-drinking nations. In the United States, where coffee is an entrenched daily ritual, Americans consume around 517 million cups a day, roughly three cups per adult, according to the National Coffee Association. Finland, often topping global rankings, averages 4 to 5 cups per person per day, making it the heaviest coffee consumer per capita worldwide. By contrast, Saudi Arabia's 36 million daily cups translate to about 1 to 1.5 cups per person, still significant in a region historically dominated by tea. 'Coffee has always been part of the region's identity,' said Ahmed Al Kashqari of the Saudi Restaurants and Cafés Association. 'What's different today is the scale, and the fact that Saudi Arabia wants to be not just a consumer, but a producer with a voice in the global market.'

German Air Traffic Remains Far Below Pre-COVID Levels
Air traffic in Germany remains far below 2019 levels. Expensive regulations and the country's economic situation are preventing a recovery. Airlines are voicing their criticism of government policies. Passenger numbers at German airports confirm the overall crisis in the economy. With 99.4 million passengers in the first half of 2025, air traffic rose by 2.8% compared to last year but still remains 15.8% below pre-Corona levels. The decline is particularly dramatic at the capital airport, BER. Compared with the combined passenger numbers of the former Tegel and Schönefeld airports in 2019, BER today handles roughly 30% fewer passengers. This is a stark indicator of the industry's troubles, which aligns with trends in other sectors of the German economy. Both construction and key industrial sectors are operating 12 to 15% below 2019 levels. This has consequences for the labor market. In aviation, about 24% of jobs—or 60,000 of 255,000 positions—have been cut since 2019. Nationwide, job losses now total roughly 700,000. The German economy is visibly running at low throttle. With a capacity utilization of 77.7% in Q2, well below the 83.4% average, the numbers indicate weak domestic demand as well as a cooling export sector. U.S. trade policies are likely to add further pressure. The German economy is in serious turbulence, and the country's overall competitiveness has declined. Airlines and airport operators have long complained about Germany's excessive costs and regulatory burden. The already strict rules of the EU Commission are compounded locally by additional taxes, levies, and bureaucratic hurdles. This combination weighs on carriers and hampers any meaningful recovery of German air traffic. The sharpest criticism in recent days came from Irish carrier Ryanair, which announced that due to high operating costs in Germany, it would completely cease flights at Dortmund, Leipzig, and Dresden, and reduce operations in Hamburg by 60% and at BER by 20%. Ryanair CMO Dara Brady summed up the situation bluntly: he sharply criticized the federal government for repeatedly failing to lower or at least reduce the high air travel tax, thereby blocking the market's necessary recovery. Brady warned of far-reaching consequences for tourism, jobs, and Germany's connectivity to international hubs. He announced that, if the air travel tax were abolished, Ryanair would invest $3 billion in Germany and create 1,000 new jobs. Passenger numbers could rise to 34 million annually. If high costs and access barriers remain, growth would have to shift to other European markets such as Sweden, Hungary, and Italy. Ryanair's message is clear: without tangible relief, more firms will pack up—impacting Germany's economic standing and jobs in the sector. Since 2019, the number of civil aircraft stationed in Germany has dropped from 190 to 130, resulting in the loss of roughly 10,000 jobs and an annual economic output loss of over €4 billion. For now, policymakers remain quiet. Only Christoph Ploß (CDU), federal tourism coordinator, responded vaguely, announcing plans to reduce the air travel tax. Yet the 2026 federal budget contains no concrete relief measures. The sector remains politically unsupported and out in the rain. Regulations hit domestic flights hardest—reflecting an ideological stance against individual mobility and aviation. Up to 35% of ticket prices now go to government charges. These include the air travel tax, which rose 25% in 2024 and accounts for roughly 10–12% of total ticket cost, plus CO₂ levies, airport usage, and flight safety fees adding another 10–15%. Airport and air traffic control fees account for 8–10%. In a European comparison, German fees are well above those at competing locations. In Poland and Italy, for example, fiscal levies on tickets range from 10–15%. This difference is crucial in a highly competitive market. As long as the EU Commission does not implement unified regulations, location competition will persist. The looming flight of carriers to neighboring countries increases pressure on the finance minister to ease taxes. Given the tight fiscal situation, whether this is feasible remains questionable.

Germany's Industrial Core Is Collapsing Under The US Trade Deal And The Green Agenda
The asymmetrical trade agreement between the EU and the US will further worsen Germany's recession. Yet neither politicians nor corporate leaders show any willingness to make the sweeping policy changes needed to reverse course. Germany's economic data leaves no room for illusions. After contracting by 0.9% in 2023 and another 0.5% last year, the decline will continue this year. The Machine Room Has Been Blown Apart It is precisely the sectors that have sustained German prosperity for decades—automobiles, construction, machinery—that are under the heaviest pressure. Without the artificial boost from state spending—now accounting for half of GDP—the private sector is set to shrink by 4–5% this year. Since 2018, total productivity has been in steady decline. This is also a social problem: Germany is importing hundreds of thousands of welfare migrants into its social systems, yet the economy would have to boom just to keep per capita prosperity from falling. A new survey by the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DIHK) confirms what was already obvious: the EU–US trade deal will especially hurt Germany's export-oriented economy. According to the survey, 58% of companies expect additional burdens, rising to 74% for firms with direct US business. Only 5% expect any benefit. 'This deal may have been politically necessary, but for many German companies it's a bitter pill,' said DIHK CEO Helena Melnikov. 'Higher tariffs, more bureaucracy, falling competitiveness'—that's the price of the diplomatic truce between Washington and Brussels. As of Thursday, a general 15% tariff applies to exports to the US, hitting automotive and machinery manufacturers hardest. 89% of US-oriented firms report immediate disadvantages, 72% fear further tariff hikes, 80% worry about political arbitrariness in transatlantic trade, and more than half plan to scale back US operations. Business Was Already Weak In its May survey of over 21,000 companies, only 23% reported positive business expectations—down five points—while 30% expected deterioration. In industry, one in three anticipates fewer orders. Just 19% plan to increase investment, while about a third plan to cut back. High energy prices, labor shortages, and political uncertainty are seen as the main drags. The DIHK forecasts a 0.3% recession for 2025, but adjusting for state spending, the real decline is closer to 4–5%. Daily surveys confirm the same message: Germany is being deindustrialized, losing hundreds of thousands of core-sector jobs. The social security deficits already emerging are just the beginning. Yet both politics and business refuse to conduct an honest diagnosis. The Green Deal remains sacrosanct. Energy costs for German industry are up to three times higher than for US competitors, double that of French firms—pushing energy-intensive sectors out of the country. Dancing Around the Golden Calf Nobody dares openly challenge Brussels' climate agenda. A rare exception came in June, when a group of works council representatives wrote an open letter to the Chancellor, naming the Green Deal as a root cause of decline. But most CEOs dodge the question. Mercedes-Benz chief Ola Källenius cites 'weak demand, high production costs, and US tariff uncertainty' for falling margins—but ignores the Green Deal's role. VW CEO Oliver Blume calls for lower energy prices and tax incentives for EVs—essentially more subsidies to keep the transition alive. Corporate leadership is now fused ideologically with the Green Deal. The energy transition has battered Germany's industrial base: sectors like construction and automotive have been knocked completely off track. A Split Economy Events like the 'Made for Germany' coffee chat between 61 CEOs and the Chancellor are symbolic of a corporatist mindset. Large corporations can adjust or relocate production to sidestep regulation, but small and medium-sized enterprises—the Mittelstand—are being crushed. The Green Deal's bureaucratic weight ultimately clears the field for big corporations by eliminating smaller competitors. The Mittelstand has no political backing, and many are fighting daily for survival—often ending in bankruptcy. In H1 2025, insolvencies rose 9.4% year-on-year to 11,900 companies. There is still no sign of a policy shift on climate. The German corporate elite has failed to seize the initiative to force political change. Germany is heading for a hot autumn—economically and socially. Source Zero Hedge
