Egypt is hosting the fintech and digital economy conference “Seamless North Africa” (pdf) tomorrow. The two-day conference, which the CBE is hosting, will allow local and global fintech companies to showcase their offerings in the region’s largest potential market.

Sudan and Egypt’s foreign ministers and intelligence service chiefs will meet in Cairo on Thursday, according to a Foreign Ministry statement. The meeting comes after the two countries’ presidents agreed last month to set up a joint ministerial committee mandated with resolving “outstanding issues” between Cairo and Khartoum. The shift in tone between Egypt and Sudan during President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and President Omar Al Bashir came a week after Al Bashir instructed his ambassador to Cairo to resolve pending issues with Egypt. Al Bashir had recalled the ambassador earlier last month for “consultations.”
