THE WEEK IN REVIEW

Egypt floats its currency, agrees with IMF on a USD 8 bn program

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and happy Friday. It is the last weekend before Ramadan and if you are observing you might find yourself dreading the endless iftars that you will have to host.

But fear not, most cherished reader, we put together an entire list of local names that will help you curate that cozy Ramadan experience down to the t.

Enterprise Weekend comes out each Friday at 9:00am CLT. We’ll be back on Sunday at 6am with Enterprise Egypt AM. Until then: Enjoy the weekend.

LAST WEEK IN 3 MINS-

ECONOMY-

The float has been the word on everyone’s lips since Wednesday morning after the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) decided to allow the exchange rate to be determined by market forces. The bank announced it during a special meeting at which the CBE’s Monetary Policy Committee also decided to hike key policy rates by 600 bps. The USD is now settling at EGP 49.7-49.4 from EGP 30.95 on the day before the float.

A few hours later, Madbouly’s government sealed an agreement for a USD 8 bn program with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that could add another USD 1-1.2 bn in climate finance if separate negotiations translate into an agreement, Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly said at a press conference on Wednesday afternoon with Central Bank of Egypt Governor Hassan Abdalla and IMF mission chief for Egypt Ivanna Hollar (watch, runtime: 18:13).

Cabinet agreed with the IMF to implement structural reforms that would also include “a new framework to slow down [public] infrastructure spending, including projects that have so far operated outside regular budget oversight,” Hollar explained. The government will introduce a ceiling on public investment for FY 2024-25, where the total of all public investment spending — that includes all ministries, economic bodies, the Public Enterprise Ministry’s companies, and state-owned companies — will not exceed EGP 1 tn, according to Madbouly.

New high-interest CDs: State-owned Banque Misr and National Bank of Egypt have rolled out high-interest certificates of deposit (CDs) (here and here, pdf). The three-year CDs carry a declining rate, offering buyers an annual payment of 30% for the first year, 25% for the second year, and 20% for the third year, or quarterly or monthly payouts at reduced annual rates. Quarterly payouts start at a 27% annual rate, declining 400 bps each year, while monthly payouts start at 26% and decline 350 bps each year.

FX spending limit revisited: The CBE told banks they can ease over time limits on foreign-currency transactions. The central bank is leaving each institution to ease restrictions at its own pace. The CBE is also allowing banks to ease curbs on the use of EGP credit cards for FCY-transactions in Egypt. It remains unclear when it will scrap limits on the use of EGP debit cards abroad.

Portfolio investors are coming back: Egypt local-currency bonds are now offering the third highest among 23 developing economies, according to data tracked by Bloomberg. “The return of portfolio inflows would lock in the final piece of the funding puzzle for Egypt,” the news service wrote. JP Morgan recommended buying our one-year t-bills at auction yesterday, Reuters reports citing a note from the bank, in another sign that the Egyptian debt will be once again lucrative to foreign investors following the float and the jumbo-sized 600 bps rate hike.

LOGISTICS-

Egypt to launch project to double the remainder of the Suez Canal: The government has conducted preliminary studies on a project to duplicate the remainder of the Suez Canal to better support two-way traffic, Suez Canal Authority (SCA) boss Osama Rabie said on Sunday. Engineering consulting companies ACE Moharram Bakhoum and Dar Al Handasah are working on the feasibility studies and identifying what partners the government can work with before the matter is once again raised to the president, Rabie said.

PRIVATIZATION-

Gov’t sets the wheels in motion on the first post-float privatization project: Cabinet has given Nilus Hotel and Commercial Services and Nilus Residential Services approval to build two commercial and residential towers on the National Democratic Party’s (NDP) former headquarters, according to a decision published in the Official Gazette this week. The two projects, reportedly worth a combined USD 5 bn, are due for completion in 2Q 2028.

Mystery Emirati company submits bid for 40% stake in Misr Life Ins.: An unnamed Emirati company is looking to snap up a 20% stake in the Misr Ins. Holding subsidiary, before upping its stake to 40% after a year, a government official reportedly told Arab World Press. The company has finished reviewing the ins. company’s files and has requested certain amendments. However, the Sovereign Fund of Egypt (SFE) — which currently fully owns Misr Ins. Holding — wants to keep a controlling stake in the subsidiary, the source added.

ENERGY-

South Korea’s SK ecoplant to build USD 2 bn green ammonia plant in Egypt: South Korean construction and plant operation company SK ecoplant will work with China’s state-run construction giant China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) to build a green hydrogen and green ammonia plant in the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone). The companies will set up and use 778 MWs of renewables — 500 MW of solar energy and 278 MW of onshore wind energy — to produce 50k tons of green hydrogen and 250k tons of green ammonia a year by 2029 when the project is slated to be fully operational.

WHAT’S HAPPENING NEXT WEEK-

We will know on Sunday whether Ramadan will begin on Monday or Tuesday when Dar Al Ifta holds its traditional crescent sighting. (Our money is on the Monday after the National Research Institute for Astronomy and Geophysics called the ball.)

Ramadan hours kick in next week: Shops, malls, restaurants, and cafes will be allowed to stay open until 2 am during the month of Ramadan and the Eid Al Fitr holiday, according to a Local Development Ministry decision published in the Official Gazette. The extended hours will come into effect on Sunday.

Bank hours will run 9:30am-1:30pm through Ramadan (9am to 2pm for staff), The CBE said in a statement yesterday.

Meanwhile, at government offices: Public sector employees will be heading to work from 9 am to 2 pm during the holy month, according to a cabinet statement.

Inflation: Capmas and the CBE will publish the latest inflation data on Sunday.

AROUND THE WORLD IN SEVEN DAYS-

Apple has been slapped with a USD 2 bn fine by the European Commission for breaching EU antitrust laws by preventing music streaming apps from informing iPhone users about cheaper subscription options paid for outside iPhone apps. The whopping fine for “abusing its dominant position” is designed to deter Apple and other giant companies from taking similar actions in the future. (Reuters | CNBC | Associated Press)

Powell hints at rate cut this year: Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell said it was “not far” from the confidence it needs in a sustained decline of inflation to 2% before considering rate cuts, Reuters reported. Powell’s remarks helped spur investor confidence in a potential June rate cut, leading to a rally in the S&P 500 that led to a record closing high yesterday, Reuters writes. The Nasdaq also hit an intraday record high and narrowly missed a closing high, settling up 1.5%.

Republican challenger Nikki Hailey drops out of the race for the White House, after Trump and Biden sailed to resounding victories on Super Tuesday. “The time has now come to suspend my campaign,” the former UN ambassador told her supporters, paving the way for a Biden-Trump rematch on 5 November.

#1- BABBO’S EATS-Aside from their selection of vegan, vegetarian, and non-vegetarian items offered at the Ramadan pop-up in Downtown Cairo this season, Babbo’s offer their hearty and healthy goodies in catering packages with a preference for outdoor venues to fully capture that Babbo’s vibe.

The suhoor buffet is the same but costs EGP 800 per person instead. But if you want a more casual evening, you can opt for the suhoor tray which will set you back EGP 8.5 k and it includes a one-meter tray with bread, and classic suhoor dips, veggies, and finger foods, fit for 20-25 people. No matter what you choose, there is the option to customize the set menus to your preferences.

For the frozen or cooked dishes, prices range from EGP 180 for stuffed vine leaves to EGP 2 k for a salmon filet.

Their salads and dips can account for 10 people for EGP 150 - 250 per person — depending on the item, for example, tahini, baba ganoush, etc. The mini-sandwiches and pastries, such as shawarma or goulash, will run you EGP 250- EGP 450.

For bigger spreads…you can opt for the party platter. This comes with a protein option and oriental rice (khalta rice with nuts and dried fruits). Prices range between EGP 750 - EGP 4 k depending on how much protein you’d like (you can go up to a whole turkey). Their flat plate dishes are another option with the choice of either bechamel, potatoes, gratin, or fattah. These prices are dependent on the party size: EGP 400 for four people, EGP 500 for six people, EGP 600 for 10 people, and EGP 1.1 k for 20 people.

Their menu has been tried and true for several years and they do not disappoint.

Dune Part Two is an incredible feat of sci-fi film production. The Bandit Queens is a cheeky novel that will transport you to India. Ichiban is a hidden gem in Nasr City offering teppanyaki and sushi.

? AT THE MOVIES-

Dune Part Two is the pinnacle of sci-fi filmmaking. The unbelievably detailed worldbuilding supported by extensive lore sans tedious exposition, the fleshed-out characters that are as dynamic as the stunning cinematography… Even if he were to hang his hat now, director Dennis Villeneuve could join George Lucas and Peter Jackson in the sci-fi and fantasy Hall of Fame.

Stop here if you haven’t seen Part One. The latest installment in the adaptation of Frank Herbert’s novels (watch trailer, runtime: 3:03) picks up exactly where we left off. In fact, the Fremen are still transporting Jamis’ body home after his duel with Paul Atreides (Timothee Chalamet). House Harkonnen is back with a vengeance, amplifying its attack on the natives, and Paul rises to the occasion alongside Chani (Zendaya), fiercely trying to evade the prophecy and losing just as intensely.

The plot this time around is richer and busier than the first installment — but it is once again the craftsmanship that places Dune among the greats. From the SFX and VFX to the costume design and the fight choreography, it’s clear that Villeneuve handpicked those excelling in their respective fields to join him in the creation of Part Two.

If Chalamet’s performance felt flat before, this installment makes it painfully clear that it was an artistic choice. Spoilers aside, Paul’s demeanor takes a turn mid-way through the film — though we can’t say we hadn’t seen glimmers of it here and there — and we can say we weren’t prepared. The only aspect we can say was a little lacking was the chemistry between Chalamet and Zendaya. While the co-stars famously get along, their romance is the least believable part of this intergalactic odyssey.

WHERE TO WATCH- If you haven’t seen it yet, what are you Dune? Sorry, we had to. You can snag seats for Dune at VOX Cinemas at City Center Almaza and Mall of Egypt, Cima Arkan, Zawya, Citystars, and Scene Cinema in District 5.

? FROM THE BOOKSTORE-

What happens when a lie snowballs and crashes right into your life? Geeta of The Bandit Queens by Parini Shroff is about to find out. Set in India and in a highly patriarchal society, Geeta is blamed — but not formally accused — of killing her husband after he disappears. But, oddly enough, things start to look up for her: Her community does not shun her, in fact, they appease her, supporting her business and no one wants to cross her, lest they face their husband’s fate.

But her life starts to look a little too appealing on the outside. Husband-less and thriving, her seemingly happy ending is causing women to come to her for help getting rid of their deadbeat husbands so they can follow in her footsteps. The only problem is, she didn’t actually murder her own — she just didn’t correct people nor try to explain herself. No one else knows that though, so the lengths they will go to for her help ruin her serene life and Geeta has to figure out how much she’s willing to sacrifice to preserve it.

Shroff weaves in humor, coming from the absurdity of the situation, with heartfelt motifs of love, belonging, independence, and dealing with abuse. Being based in India, there is also an undertone of social commentary in her writing when it comes to women’s rights and society there. Having a non-western lead is refreshing, allowing a glimpse into the life of a protagonist we’re not used to reading about.

This book is impressive, considering it is Shroff’s first novel. Many others would agree seeing as it is a nominee for Best Debut Novel on Goodreads. It will be interesting to see if she can keep that momentum running in her future projects.

You can find it at Diwan or on Amazon.

? HOT AND FRESH OUT OF THE KITCHEN-

Ichiban has the teppanyaki experience you deserve without breaking the bank. In the bustling area of Heliopolis, Ichiban is a sizzling dining experience with the lively atmosphere and the showmanship of the chefs setting the grill. Each dish was expertly prepared right before our eyes on the teppan grill, infusing the air with mouth-watering aromas.

As with teppanyaki restaurants, expect the teppanyaki chef to give you the knives show — and watch as he turns simple ingredients into culinary masterpieces. The seafood platter and fried rice were among the highlights of the meal, both outstanding in flavor and texture. However, the vegetable glass noodles tasted a bit bland, lacking the punch we were expecting. In terms of the chicken dishes, we found the sweet and sour chicken to be superior, with the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess, while the kung pao chicken was slightly overshadowed — but it was a solid dish to order.

They even have a sushi menu. Despite being tempted we were too full to indulge. But we noted the extensive selection available, ranging from raw to fried which caters to a variety of tastes.

Overall it exceeded our expectationswith its delicious food, entertaining ambiance, and attentive service — making it perfect for any occasion and outing. But unfortunately, they currently don’t deliver.

An eye for revenge in this side-scroller game

A witch, a knight, and a wizard — and you’re the witch. Well, technically you’re an eyeball.The game, aptly named Witcheye begins after a smarmy knight and disingenuous wizard steal your spell ingredients, you — a mild-mannered witch — turn into an eyeball hellbent on getting vengeance. This side-scrolling platform (watch trailer, runtime: 1:00) has 50+ levels full of tricky enemies, mysterious environments, and challenging puzzles in colorful retro-style pixel graphics.

Picture old-school Super Mario Bros., but you can fly. You don’t have to worry about gravity as you chase down the good-for-nothing knight that robbed you, making it easy for you to glide through tight tunnels… and right into spikey traps. The controls function with laser-eye precision until they’re not meant to. Windy levels and other hurdles challenge your movements. And naturally, there’s an underwater level.

You can avoid low-level enemies, but where’s the fun in that? Speedrun fans can zip through levels with minimum engagement to save their HP for boss levels, but we had fun colliding with the grunts and figuring out which angles and vulnerable moments were most effective. If you’re a completionist, you can take your time wearing down the grunts and collecting gems hidden throughout each stage.

Surprisingly, this game was released as a mobile game first, designed for touchscreen controls. But it plays best in handheld — the analog sticks are more satisfying (and sometimes more challenging) to control. Nintendo console gamers: Keep in mind that the game functions better in handheld mode rather than docked.

? Rating: 9/10 on Steam.

⌛ Hours of gameplay: 3-4 hours.

? Platforms:Steam for PC, Nintendo Switch, App Store, and Google Play.

? Price: USD 2.99 on Steam and Google Play, USD 4.99 on Nintendo eStore

Crimetown uncovers the nitty-gritting of the underworld in the US

Crimetown looks into organized crime in American towns. Hosts Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier zoom in on how they operate even with government accomplices. Their approach is analytical and investigative, revealing the complexity of the underground world.

Each season focuses on a location — so the research is really fleshed out. Season 1 is a deep dive on crime and corruption in Providence, Rhode Island, featuring a spotlight on mayor Buddy Cianci, while Season 2 moves on shifts to Detroit, Michigan, and takes a look at police shootings, drugs, and political scandals. With 18-19 episodes in each season, you’ll know the ins and outs of each American city when you’re done listening.

Straightforward yet entertaining: A hard balance, but one that this podcast manages to achieve. The hosts make sure to humanize the subjects while also exploring the extent of their crimes which paints a well-rounded picture for each episode.

These guys are experts: The amount of detail that goes into each recording requires immense amounts of research so it’s impressive how thorough they’ve been. The only thing missing is more episodes. So far only two seasons are out but we can’t wait for the next one.

You can listen onApple Podcasts, Spotify, Deezer, and Soundcloud (although limited).
