World wheat production will total 676 million metric tons in 2011, a growth of 3.4% from last year's levels but still
below the bumper harvests of 2008 and 2009, according Wednesday to a report by the United Nations' food body.
Wheat plantings in many countries have increased or are expected to increase this year in response to strong prices,
the Food and Agriculture Organization noted in its latest edition of the Crops Prospects and Food Situation report. At
the same time, yield recoveries are forecast in areas that were affected by drought in 2010, the Russian Federation in
particular, the FAO report noted. The majority of global coarse grains and paddy crops are still to be planted, making
it difficult to forecast total cereal production for 2011, the report added.

Saudi Arabia, the world's top oil exporter, will step up its use of crude for power generation in 2011, Saleh Alawaji,
the country's junior electricity minister, said on Thursday, as the nation balances use of a new oilfield against
obligations to oil cartel OPEC. Saudi oil industry figures seen by Reuters showed the kingdom estimated direct use of
EWS YOU

fuel for power generation to rise to 540,000 bpd this year from 403,000 bpd last year. Using more crude to generate
electricity allows the kingdom to utilise fresh output from a major new oilfield while holding firm to its OPEC
commitments to curb exports. It also helps the kingdom meet stricter environment rules. Although sitting on the
world's biggest oil and gas reserves, Saudi Arabia is struggling to keep pace with rapidly rising power demand as
petrodollars have fueled a region-wide economic boom as well as rapid population growth. And the kingdom is
presently weighing up nuclear options which it sees as a good option for power generation and desalination despite
the recent crisis in Japan, Alawaji said.

The monetary policy will continue to be tight to curb high inflation, the prime minister's top economic adviser said on
Friday, forecasting headline inflation to ease to 7.5 percent in March. "The inflation rate continues to be high and
therefore the monetary policy will have to remain tight," C. Rangarajan, chairman of the prime minister's Economic
Advisory Council, told. The RBI has raised policy rates eight times in the last 12 months as headline inflation stays
way above its comfort level of around 5 percent. The bank has warned of more inflationary pressures, prompting
analysts to expect further rounds of monetary tightening this year. He also said the current account deficit in
2010/11 would be only slightly above 2.5 percent of GDP and expected capital inflows of around $60 billion in the
year would be enough to finance it.
