We’re in for a long weekend. Sunday is an official holiday for the public and private sectors in observance of Coptic Christmas, as confirmed by the cabinet and central bank. We’d like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

We’ll be announcing the results of our end-of-year survey next week. We asked you to help us gauge how well business went in 2017, what the biggest challenges of the year were, and where you see FX rates stabilizing, among other things.
