LAST WEEK IN 3 MINS-

We had another macro-heavy news week on the domestic front, with several macro updates, coupled with more downgrades of our economic performance forecasts and ratings. Regionally, Israel’s war against Palestine dominated global headlines.

ECONOMY-

#1- Inflation hit an all-time high of 38% y-o-y in September due to the FX shortage and successive currency devaluations. Consumer prices in urban areas accelerated to 38% y-o-y from 37.4% in August, making September the fourth consecutive month of record highs.

#2- The IMF downgraded its 2024 Egypt growth outlook to 3.6%from its previous 4.1% forecast in July. This is the second time it has lowered its 2024 outlook this year, cutting it to 4.1% from 5.0% in July, citing the shortage of foreign currency and dwindling investor confidence.

…and is urging Egypt to move forward with another currency devaluation or risk the country “bleeding” reserves, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said in an interview.

#3- The World Bank sees Egypt’s growth slowing in FY 2023-24 as rising borrowing costs and heightened inflation continue to squeeze economic activity. The lender expects economic growth to slow to 3.7% in the current fiscal year from a projected 4.2% in FY 2022-23, 0.3 percentage points lower than its previous forecast in June.

#4- Moody’s downgraded Egypt’s sovereign credit rating further into junk territory due to worsening debt affordability and an intensifying FX crunch that have raised concerns over our ability to meet repayments. This is seven rungs into junk territory and four above default.

…and followed up with a downgrade of five of our banks’ long-term deposit ratings for the second time in a year. The ratings agency downgraded state-owned lenders Banque Misr, the National Bank of Egypt, and Banque du Caire, along with private-sector bank CIB to Caa1 from B3, seven notches into junk territory and four above default. Intesa Sanpaolo’s Bank of Alexandria rating was also downgraded to B3 from B2.

#5-Several banks have banned the use of EGP debit cards for any FX spending: The National Bank of Egypt, Arab Bank, Banque Misr, Emirates NBD, National Bank of Kuwait in Egypt, AAIB, CIB and Arab International Bank put an end to the use of debit cards linked to EGP accounts for any foreign currency spending.

#6- Egypt generated a current account surplus in 4Q 2022-23 on the back of falling imports and rising tourism and Suez Canal revenues. The current account turned to a USD 560 mn surplus during the April-June quarter, compared to a USD 3.0 bn deficit in 4Q 2021-22 and a USD 3.5 bn deficit in the previous quarter.

#7- Businesses reached an agreement with the government to deliver 15-25% price cuts on key food staples: The government and private-sector food producers and traders will both reduce prices of 10 food items by 15-25% starting Saturday, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said at a press conference last week.

WAR WATCH-

Israel declared war on Hamas after the resistance group launched a surprise ground attack in Israel on Saturday thatkilled hundreds of Israelis… The Israeli government has put in place a total blockade on Gaza, restricting access to food, water and electricity from reaching the strip’s 2.2 mn residents. So far over 900people in Gaza have died in the strikes and 4.6k are wounded. The death toll in Israel from Saturday’s attack by Hamas is now over 1k.

…and it’s looking likely that the war is going to escalate: The Israeli military has amassed tens of thousands of reservists over the past week, which several news outlets take as partial indication that a full-scale ground offensive is “inevitable.”

Tensions on the Egypt-Gaza border have been brewing: Israeli air strikes and artillery targeted the Rafah crossing on the Sinai-Gaza border three times in nearly 48 hours this week, preventing Gazans from crossing the border and aid shipments from reaching the besieged Gaza strip. The Israeli military also threatened to attack any fuel trucks we send into Gaza.

Egypt has been scrambling to de-escalate fighting between Israel and Hamas: President Abdel Fattah El Sisi called the situation “highly dangerous” and confirmed that Egypt is working with other countries to broker an end to the violence.

ENERGY-

#1- Egypt’s gas imports dropped 20% after Chevron halted Tamar production: The closure of the Tamar gas field in the Mediterranean, which came at the request of Israel’s energy ministry over security concerns, caused Israel’s gas shipments to Egypt to slump to 650 mn cubic feet per day from 800 mn cf/d.

ALSO- Chevron suspended gas exports to Egypt via the East Mediterranean Gas (EMG) pipeline and is routing supplies instead through the Arab Gas Pipeline that links Israel, Jordan and Egypt.

#2- Local green methanol on the horizon: Egypt signed a framework agreement with Maersk’s new green methanol company C2X to produce the green fuel in the Suez Canal Economic Zone.

PRIVATIZATION WATCH-

#1- Maersk is one step closer to acquiring half of the 545 MW Zafarana wind farm after signing a framework agreement with the government. The Madbouly government and the Danish shipping giant are now in the final stages of negotiating the value of the 51% stake. The transaction could potentially close by the end of this year.

ELECTIONS 2023-

#1- A third candidate joined the presidential race: The Wafd Party’s Abdel Sanad Yamama filed paperwork with the National Elections Authority to run in the upcoming presidential election.

M&A WATCH-

#1- Dice founders placed their bid to reacquire nearly half of the company: The founders of EGX-listed clothing company Dice Sports and Casual Wear submitted a mandatory tender offer to purchase more than 838 mn of its shares. The transaction would give them control of c. 80% of the company’s stock.

LEGISLATION-

#1- House committees signed off on a spate of key bills: The proposed cut to income tax, the second round of the expat car import scheme, and the decision to allow Abu Dhabi Ports to develop Safaga port were all approved by House committees last week.

DIPLOMACY-

We’re getting less than USD 1 bn in US military aid this year: The new chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Ben Cardin decided to withhold USD 320 mn of human rights-contingent military aid destined for Egypt following the indictment of previous chair Senator Bob Menendez over allegedly accepting bribes to covertly aid the country.

WHAT’S HAPPENING NEXT WEEK-

The World Bank and IMF annual meetings wrap up on Sunday, after kicking off this past week in Marrakech, Morocco.

The House of Representatives reconvenes on Sundayafter going on recess earlier this week.

The Egypt Automotive Aftermarket Exhibitiontakes place from Sunday through Tuesdayat the Cairo International Convention Center.

AROUND THE WORLD IN SEVEN DAYS-

The deadly fighting in Israel and Gaza dominated headlines around the world this week: Hamas’ attack on several southern Israeli towns and the Israeli government’s subsequent declaration of war have, so far, claimed the lives of 1k Israelis and 900 Palestinians. The Israeli government has since announced a complete blockade on food, water and electricity from entering Gaza and launched an aggressive airstrike campaign that has pummeled the enclave.

The Nobel prize in economics awarded to a Harvard researcher focused on gender pay inequity got some attention: American economic historian and Harvard professor Claudia Goldin was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in economics for her research into pay gaps between men and women. Goldin’s work highlights many of the ways in which the gender wage gap has persisted over time — which in more recent years tends to widen shortly after a woman gives birth to her first child.

China’s real estate crisis also drew interest: China’s largest developer Country Garden is on the brink of default and on track to miss payments on its USD-denominated bonds. Failing to make good on their debts would likely trigger China’s largest-ever corporate debt restructuring. If left unresolved the crisis could set off a wider downturn in the Chinese economy, 25% of which is composed of the real estate sector.

Hassan El Masry is an action film inspired by Man on Fire + Try Izmir Saray for tomorrow’s brunch

? AT THE MOVIES-

Hassan El Masry (trailer: runtime: 1:26) is an Egyptian action film that takes inspiration, and maybe a bit more, from Man on Fire and Taken. In case you haven’t figured it out yet, this Egyptian film follows Hassan (Ahmed Hatem Omar), a special-forces trained professional donning a hearing aid and living as a driver and bodyguard in Lebanon. He acts tortured (note ‘act’) as he lives in solitude after losing his last family member, his sister, in a car bomb that was meant for him. He chooses to go through the motions in life until he is assigned to guard a young teenage girl who reminds him of his sister and a whole can of worms opens up.

The dialogue felt too script-y but the action sequences were solid. Maybe it was Ahmed Hatem Omar’s monotonous acting, but oftentimes the dialogue seems like a script reading with few reactions from the leading hero’s face. On the other hand, the other actors were spot on — Diamond Bo Aboud, Mourad Makram, and youngsters Lina Sophia Ben Hamman and Aysel Mohamed Ramzi, despite their young age, were naturals on the camera. Look for the scene when Markam lends an enemy a death blow that will have you applauding. Also, the action sequences were well-thought out, even if it was sometimes a little too dark to notice the details.

It’s trying to do a lot and leaves many questions unanswered. First of all, who were the people who killed his sister? Were they connected with the villains he is chasing in the film? Who did he work for before going to Lebanon? How did he meet Joelle (Diamond Bo Aboud), and how does he know El-Alfy (Mourad Makram)? These questions, and many others, could have been answered through a sequel, but the events of the film, unfortunately, do not lend us this option.

WHERE TO WATCH- The film is showing in VOX cinemas, City Stars cinema and Zamalek cinema.

? FROM THE BOOKSTORE-

Harvard Business Review (HBR) Guide to Unlocking Creativity shows the brain’s endless potential. Human creativity is a major asset that advances the way we address challenges and expand our horizons both as individuals and collectively. But while this tool is not always valued, it can be harnessed to achieve outstanding accomplishments. Throughout the pages of this guidebook, readers will learn the science behind creativity and how our brains can be steered towards thinking more efficiently. Through concrete steps, leaders in various industries can learn how to conduct more proficient brainstorming sessions, and encourage a culture of innovative exploration and originality, among other techniques to foster productivity and problem-solving.

Not inherently creative? You can become it. While thinking of creativity generally steers us in the direction of the arts, there is much to learn about the brain’s capacity to transpose skills from one field to another. In that sense, the guide reinforces the idea that, in fact, nobody “[owns] a monopoly on creativity.” And not only is it not an exclusive instrument, it is a necessary one in all kinds of businesses where leaders want to succeed, pioneer, and avoid becoming obsolete or peripheral.

WHERE TO FIND IT- You can purchase this volume of the extensive HBR collection from any Diwan bookstore branch or online.

? HOT AND FRESH OUT OF THE KITCHEN-

Izmir Saray: A taste of Turkey, a touch of luxury. The recently opened venue is located in New Giza next to the iconic Andrea and the recently inaugurated Noi. What instantly caught our eye was the effortlessly chic decor and the high ceilings that add a touch of understated grandeur. But what is really impressive is the outdoor area which reigns over all of Sheikh Zayed. If you go at night, you’ll certainly enjoy looking over the countless city lights. The scenic views aside, the food was enjoyable — but not exceptional.

We love a good brunch and Izmir Saray has a decent selection to munch on. Think fruit and cheese platters, eggs, and pastries. You can also opt for one of the restaurant’s “breakfast sets,” which includes everything from cold cuts, to eggplants, and Turkish helva — along with a glass of Turkish tea, of course. If you’re going for lunch or dinner, go ahead and try out the ribeye steak or the slow-cooked asado ribs.

The Expanse explores outer space and can be enjoyed by fans and newbies alike

The Expanse game gives fans of the beloved and critically acclaimed televisionseries a treat. If you’re unfamiliar with Telltale, they are the video game developers behind the famous 2012 Walking Dead Telltale Series and the equally engaging Batman Telltale Series from 2016. The Expanse game is based on the show’s premise and takes place before the events of the first season. The devs consulted writer James S.A. Corey — whose books the show is based on — to ensure continuity. Also, actor Cara Gee, who plays protagonist Camina Drummer, comes back to voice her character in another move to bridge the series and game. Playing as Camina, you explore the dangerous borders of The Belt, a settlement in our now-colonized solar system, aboard The Artemis. Their choose-your-own-adventure and episodic style of gaming lets you make decisions that affect the plot and outcome of the game.

People unfamiliar with the show can still enjoy the game. The studio actively worked to make sure that no one felt left out, though they believe that fans of the series will find lots to appreciate. Instead of paying for each episode separately as was the case previously, you can now purchase the whole season as a bundle. If you opt for the deluxe edition, which adds USD 5 to the price tag, you will gain access to a reportedly shocking bonus episode at the end of the season.

⌛ Hours of gameplay: 5 hours

? Price: USD18.59 for the base game and USD 20.99 for the deluxe edition on Epic Games, USD 39.99 for the base game and USD 44.99 for the deluxe edition on Playstation and Xbox

? Platforms: Epic Games for PC, Playstation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S

Taking apart books found in airport bookstores

What is it about airport bookstores that feels so compelling? Do they speak to our desperate need for entertainment during long flights, or do the books they display feel like an exceptional collection curated just for us? That is hardly the case, according to If Books Could Kill hosts Michael Hobbes and Peter Shamshiri, who deconstruct (and often summarize down to a sentence) the books that adorn airport shelves. These publications, as the name of the show suggests, have accomplished the mysterious feat of “[capturing] our hearts and [ruining] our minds.” And Hobbes and Shamshiri have made it their mission to expose them for the mediocre literature that they are. For instance, their synopsis of international best-seller Atomic Habits is, quite simply: “A book about how to use science (and also some stuff that’s definitely not science) to train yourself to be a more functional person.” You get the idea.

The World is Flat has got to be one of the show’s best episodes. It takes a close look at the book by American commentator and awardwinning author Thomas Friedman. This episode also tells us that while a lot has been said and written about globalization, “perhaps no one has said it worse than Thomas Friedman.” They then go on to tell us exactly why that is over the course of an hour. And those 60 minutes, we assure you, will be filled with laugh-out-loud moments about Friedman’s “glaring factual inaccuracies” and “try hard comparisons.” The author, who calls the Earth flat as a cute metaphor for growing interconnectedness across the globe, is clearly not someone who understands shapes, one of the hosts argues.
