Cairo is bursting with activities this Ramadan

THE WEEK IN REVIEW

Egypt awaits multi-bn package from EU

Good morning, folks, and happy Friday. Welcome to the first weekend of the Ramadan season — we hope that you have gotten plenty of your iftar and suhoor gatherings out of the way and are ready for the activities we have lined-up for you in our guide.

Ramadan isn’t just about the food — Cairo wears a new robe during this month and we can’t wait to tell you what Om El Donia has in store for you.

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.

So, when do we eat? Maghrib prayers are at 6:03 pm in the capital, and you’ll have until 4:37 am tomorrow to hydrate and caffeinate ahead of fajr.

LAST WEEK IN 3 MINS-

ECONOMY-

It was a week of positive news on the fiscal and monetary front, as we saw several healthy signs of foreign currency liquidity back in the banking system following the float.

#1- We are in line for more funding: Egypt could receive a total of USD 20 bn in foreign support, including the expanded USD 8 bn IMF program, an anticipated USD 3 bn from the World Bank, USD 5-8 bn from the European Union, as well as additional funding from Japan, the UK, and the IMF’s Resilience and Sustainability Facility.

#2- The EGP is steadily moving up: The local currency has gained around 6% against the greenback since the float with the USD trading at an average of EGP 47.9 as of yesterday.

#3- Efforts to clear backlogs in ports are well underway. Some USD 3 bn worth of goods have been released from ports over the past few days, Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly said during the weekly cabinet meeting on Wednesday. Demand for foreign currency has begun to decline, the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) Governor Hassan Abdalla said yesterday.

#4- The FX volumes have kept the strong momentum in the interbank, where local banks bought and sold over USD 4.8 bn from the float day on 6 March to Wednesday, 13 March, Asharq Business quoted unnamed banking sources as saying.

#5- More banks relaxed their FX spending: Several banks have announced higher limits on credit card FCY transactions this week, including NBE, Banque Misr, CIB, AAIB, ADIB, and ADCB.

#6- Remittances have increased tenfold since the float: Egypt-bound transfers from Egyptian expats have increased tenfold since the central bank floated the EGP, Banque Misr Chairman Mohamed El Etreby told Extra News on Wednesday, without providing further information

#7-Float spurs influx of foreign currency at the country’s biggest FX bureaus: Customers have sold over EGP 1.05 bn worth of foreign currency at NBE’s foreign exchange bureau Al Ahly Exchange, Banque Misr’s Misr Exchange, and Banque du Caire’s Cairo Exchange following the float, Al Borsa reported this week, citing each of the bureaus’ heads. Most of the transactions at the bureaus were USD sales, with SAR and EUR accounting for a smaller portion of the transactions.

#8- Investor appetite for local debt is back: Local and foreign investors continued to heavily buy into EGP t-bills auctioned this week. The CBE raised EGP 217.9 bn-worth of one-year t-bills and EGP 46.8 bn-worth of six-month t-bills yesterday — receiving offers for almost 8x its original ask — according to the data on the bank’s website, which does not differentiate between local and foreign investors. The average yield for the one-year bills dropped down from 32.30% last week to 30.14% yesterday, while the six-month bills’ average yield dropped to 29.91% from 31.84% last week.

JPMorgan and Citigroup recommended last week buying one-year EGP t-bills, with Citigroup telling its clients to stop buying if the EGP weakens to 60 against the greenback. Meanwhile, BlueBay Asset Management bought up local t-bills after five years of being wary — “We are constructive short term, because [Egypt] delivered pretty much everything apart from a cabinet reshuffle,” the firm's EM head Polina Kurdyavko said.

T-bonds have had a tougher luck: The government declined all bids in a Monday auction of the longer-term EGP t-bonds. The government was reluctant to meet the high interest rates demanded by investors, Reuters reports, citing unnamed bankers.

#9- Moody’s has upgraded the long-term deposit ratings outlook of five local banks to positive from negative, the credit rating agency wrote on Tuesday. The five banks are state-owned lenders National Bank of Egypt, Banque Misr, and Banque du Caire, as well as the country’s largest private sector bank CIB — Moody’s affirmed their Caa1 long-term deposit rating. The banks also include Alex Bank — Moody’s affirmed its B3 rating.

This came after the agency upgraded Egypt’s outlook to positive from negative affirming its Caa1 rating last week, citing the USD 35 bn Ras El Hekma investment and recent policy measures taken by the CBE, which helped the country access a bigger USD 8 bn package from the IMF.

#10- Only Inflation is defying the positive trend: Annual urban inflation jumped 5.9 percentage points to 35.7% in February from the month before on the back of an unexpected jump in food prices. The “spike in the EGP’s parallel rate during the month to historical highs before it trended lower” contributed to the unexpected jump in inflation, EFG Hermes’ Mohamed Abu Basha told Bloomberg on Sunday.

Some were expecting an uptick in inflation to come, but not in February: The unexpected increase in inflation reflects prices in the month before the central bank floated the EGP and moved forward with a jumbo rate hike, which some believe will add additional inflationary pressures. The government is also expected to push ahead with a round of subsidy cuts that will increase the costs of consumer goods.

WHAT’S HAPPENING NEXT WEEK-

EU Package on Sunday? The EU and Egyptian officials are expected to ink an agreement that would unlock EUR bns of funding on Sunday when a delegation of EU officials — including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and the Greek, Belgian, and Italian prime ministers — visits Cairo.

How much are we talking? The number varies depending on who’s talking. Finance Minister Mohamed Maait earlier this week said that the country is in line for USD 5-6 bn (EUR 4.6-5.5 bn) in financing from the EU. The Financial Times says we’re in line for an EUR 7.4 bn package (USD 8 bn) that will come in a mix of grants and loans and aims to prop up the country’s economy and manage migration to the EU. We think the range is more likely to be EUR 5-5.5 bn.

Get ready to meet the new face of Arafa Holding: The EGX will halt trading on Arafa Holding, the company behind fashion brand Concrete, starting Sunday as the holding company carries out a demerger, according to an EGX disclosure (pdf). The move will see our friends at Arafa rebrand to Concrete Fashion Group for Trade and Industrial Investment and spin off subsidiary Gtex for Trade and Industrial Investments.

Shares of the two companies will be trading on the EGX starting Sunday, 24 March. We’ll have more next week, but the star to watch will be Concrete Fashion Group, which will make its market debut with an impressive board, strong management team, and assets that include domestic fashion player Concrete as well as a strong export portfolio.

AROUND THE WORLD IN SEVEN DAYS-

At least 29 Palestinians were killed in two Israeli attacks while waiting for aid yesterday, Reuters reports. This came as the forced starvation in Gaza is worsening with no end to Israeli assault in sight. US President Joe Biden had suggested a Ramadan ceasefire was in reach — it didn’t happen. That has many outlets diving deep into the state of relations between the US and Israel. Plans are now afoot that could see the US and its allies have commercial vessels deliver aid to Gaza before the US Navy can act.

The US presidential election and Tiktok got the most attention in the global business press in the past few days. Media outlets around the world are taking stock of Trump v. Biden, Round II — it’s the first rematch between US presidential contenders since 1956. They’re also asking what’s next for Tiktok after the House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to give owner ByteDance six months to sell it or face a ban in the US of A.

VOLUNTEERING-

Ramadan is about giving back to the community and what better way to do it than through volunteering to make a positive impact in your community. Whether it’s serving meals, organizing donation drives, or participating in clean-up efforts, there are countless opportunities to spread joy and kindness. Check our previous guide here for details.

It may not be 007 — but Brosnan is a pleasure to watch in Fast Charlie. PLUS: Gender, class, race, and ethics collide in Come and Get It. Pao Pao is serving up Asian

? AT THE MOVIES-

Pierce Brosnan is back as a suave and suited hitman with a license to kill — and a southern drawl. Fast Charlie (watch trailer, runtime: 2:05) follows an aging hitman resigned to the nature of his work — the only way out is to die on the job. But part of it is due to his fierce loyalty to his mobster boss and friend of 30 years, Stan Mullen (the late James Caan in his final appearance).

But when a hit goes wrong at the expense of a donut — no Boston Creams were harmed in the making of this film — Charlie finds himself on a path of destruction and vengeance. Let’s be clear, Charlie Swift is no James Bond… but he’s not too shabby either. All Charlie’s armed with is a couple of guns, a sharp skill set, and a heart of gold.

It may come as a breath of fresh air for viewers fed up with the bloated budgets and runtimes of recent action films. The film definitely doesn’t have the grandeur of a 007 flick, but it’s a tightly written, conventional addition to the genre. Whether the typical tropes inserted by director Phillip Noyce are a feature or a bug is up for debate — we can think of one or two that the film could have gotten by without.

But Brosnan is difficult not to enjoy. His effortless charisma is almost nostalgic, making the over-familiarity of the film more of a fun watch than it may have been with another leading actor. Trust us, we’ve seen many an aging-hitman-longing-for-a-simple-life films this past year.

WHERE TO WATCH- Fast Charlie is currently screening at Scene Cinemas at District 5.

? FROM THE BOOKSTORE-

Come and Get it by Kiley Reid — known for her Booker-longlisted Such a Fun Age —delves into the financial struggles of young women, shifting the focus from race to money. In this book, she poses the question: How much would you sacrifice for financial freedom?

It introduces three distinct characters whose lives intersect in a dorm at the University of Arkansas. Agatha, a visiting professor recovering from a breakup, embarks on a research project focused on weddings, but finds herself captivated by the financial dynamics of the young women she encounters. Millie, a dedicated Black resident assistant, assists Agatha, grappling with her own financial goals alongside her duties. Then there is Kennedy, a transfer student haunted by past mistakes who prefers emotional connections over practical ones in relationships.

The narrative unfolds through Agatha’s interactions with the students, providing insight into their attitudes toward wealth, family, and social expectations. As Agatha delves deeper into her research, aided by Millie, tensions simmer beneath the surface, ultimately culminating in a gripping exploration of class, race, and ethics.

The author masterfully navigates the complexities of consumerism, cultural norms, and human connection, highlighting the profound impact of money on everyday lives without judgment.News outlets’ reviews explain that the novel is “ precise, [its] realistic style kept me happily speeding through this novel to its finish ” and it “ deserves a place in the running.”

You can find it at Cherry Blossom Books.

? HOT AND FRESH OUT OF THE KITCHEN-

Pao Pao is rolling out the noodles and saving our tickets to Asia this Ramadan. From the owners who brought you Baxters, they’ve brought us an Asian restaurant just next door to them, in O1 Mall, that serves all dishes from the bustling streets of India to the tranquil tea gardens of Kyoto, each dish is a passport to a new world of flavor. But it’s not just about the food — it’s about the experience where you get to watch the fire blazing from all the spices and sauces while the chefs work their magic in their open kitchen.

We began with the Gyoza and Dim Sums, along with the viral cucumber salad. For theGyoza (a popular Japanese dumpling dish consisting of a filling wrapped in thin dough and then pan-fried, steamed, or boiled) which we ordered with a chicken filling and for the Dim Sums we ordered a shrimp filling. Between the two, the Gyoza was our favorite — since the Dim Sum needed an extra 5 minutes of steam to cook the glassy thin dough — but both flavors were up to par. As for the cucumber salad, we were disappointed that it didn’t come in the accordion style that’s presented on social media — nevertheless, it was a definite member of the clean-plate club.

The star of the show would be the Pad Thai, and we imagine that it tasted exactly like it would from a Thai street vendor. The savory, sweet, and tangy notes were in harmony with the juicy shrimp, tender thick rice noodles, and crunchy peanuts. We felt that it just needed that splash of soy sauce which, when added, really brought the dish together.

We also tried the Shiitake Fire Ramen — word to the wise — they did not lie about the heat. If you like it hot, you’ll get it hot: This ramen is bold, spicy, and a warm hug of a broth. The burst of umami goodness complemented the bold heat that builds with every bite — but it would have benefitted from a creamy touch. But if you’re a fan of light broth then this is for you.

We can safely say we’re going back and next time we’re trying more — especially the Duck Burger and curries — there’s also many healthy, vegan and vegetarian options such as Tofu burgers and noodles.

They only deliver to New Cairo and Rehab residents through their phone number on their Instagram — but their ambiance, atmosphere, and aroma is worth the trip.

NOTE- The space is limited with a few tables and booths, inside and outside.

? Per person: EGP 500-800

? Outdoor seating: Yes

? Accessibility friendly: Yes

(Re)Live the original and complete Tomb Raider experience

Get ready to relive your childhood in better quality. Tomb Raider I-III have been remastered and re-released, alongside all the expansions and secret levels. Lara Croft is back in all her glory to (re)explore ancient ruins in search for artifacts, armed to the teeth with infinite ammo — naturally.

In case you grew up without Lara: You play as the archaeologist-adventurer, Indiana-Jones-in-hot-shorts-esque Lara Croft, who loots tombs, fights off goons (and occasionally lions), and shoots dinosaurs in search of ancient artifacts with supernatural powers.

Remastered doesn’t necessarily mean better graphics. While the graphics from the games, which were originally released from 1996-1998, have been polished, they haven’t been updated. The style of the original trilogy remains in all its 90s glory, and honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way.

Some of the textures and details have been tweaked to make for better visuals, but the core of the graphics remain the same. And if you prefer to play Tomb Raider as you remember it, you can toggle back and forth between the new upscaled textures and the old-school PS graphics. Our favorite fix? The lighting.

Some players have logged control issue complaints. Despite its update, it seems that the developer didn’t invest too much time into fine-tuning the clunky old-school movements, which is an issue we also experienced with the Crash Bandicoot remaster. Another issue being logged is an occasionally disobedient camera, but if that isn’t the authentic 90s video game experience, what is?

? Rating: 9/10 on Steam, 94% by Google users.

⌛ Hours of gameplay: 70-150 hours to complete all three games.

? Platforms:Nintendo Switch, Playstation, Xbox, and Steam and Epic Games for PC.

? Price: USD 13.99 on Epic Games, USD 14.99 on Steam, USD 29.99 on Playstation, Xbox, and Nintendo.

Female Formula shines a light of the struggles and concerns of Egyptian women

Female Formula by Alia Khafaga is an Egyptian podcast for women. Speaking in the Arabic language,Khafaga’s goal is to empower women in all sorts of ways to foster inclusivity and cohesion in society. Her content is specifically catered to Arab women who experience their own unique struggles.

It doesn’t matter what stage of life you’re in. Khafaga wants to reach mothers, wives, students, girls, and whoever believes that they can benefit from hearing what she has to say. The podcast is still relatively new, but her episodes touch on a wide array of topics from professional advice, to parenting help, to fashion and fitness.

Her current season focuses on finding happiness while under pressure to excel. Female or not, this is probably something you can relate to, and the host brings on experts to dive deep into the chosen topic. In one episode, she brings on child development specialist Nagwa Khedr to discuss the idea of the “perfect mom” and how overwhelming motherhood is but also how to lead a healthier life as a mother where you embrace the hardships and achieve a balance.

What we enjoy the most is how relevant it is to the region. The guests are all experts that you can connect to, if you’re from the MENA region as they come from similar backgrounds: They understand the obstacles of traffic, social roles, and obligations. We don’t often find podcasts that fit this role, so the concept is refreshing to find a podcast that is both entertaining and relatable.

You can listen onApple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Castbox, Goodpods, and Podfriend.
