THE WEEK IN REVIEW

CBE holds interest rates steady for third consecutive time

☀️ Good morning, friends, and happy weekend. We’re treating ourselves to a slow weekend this time around, starting with a guide to the classics worth rewatching, sorted by mood for whatever kind of Friday night you’re having. We also dig into a financial book that reworks a modern classic into something genuinely actionable, a Greek Mediterranean restaurant in Alexandria that suits the setting, and a podcast episode asking what AI actually does to a language as complex as Arabic. That and more.

But first, your weekly recap…

🗞️ LAST WEEK IN 3 MINS-

ECONOMY-

The Monetary Policy Committee decided to leave interest rates unchanged for the third time in a row at its meeting yesterday, according to a statement from the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE). The bank kept the overnight deposit rate at 19.0% and the overnight lending rate at 20.0%, in line with the projections of the majority of analysts and economic experts polled by EnterpriseAM.

“This decision reflects the Committee’s assessment of current inflation dynamics and the evolving outlook since the previous MPC meeting,” the statement read. Keeping rates where they are secures a healthy positive real interest rate margin of over 4%, a vital buffer to contain demand-side inflation and keep foreign inflows parked safely in our local debt market.

This comes as the annual urban inflation eased for a third consecutive month in June, falling 0.3 percentage points to 14.3% y-o-y. Monthly inflation also decelerated to 1.2% from 1.6% the previous month.

AND- Egypt’s net international reserves rose USD 1.94 bn in June to a new record of USD 55.07 bn as rising foreign currency holdings outweighed a near-USD 2 bn fall in the value of the central bank’s gold. Foreign currency assets climbed USD 3.93 bn to USD 37.85 bn. Gold holdings fell to USD 16.78 bn from USD 18.78 bn.

ALSO- Egyptians abroad sent home USD 43.1 bn in the first 11 months of FY 2025/26 (July-May), a 31.2% y-o-y increase from USD 32.8 bn a year earlier, according to CBE data. May alone brought in USD 3.9 bn, compared to USD 3.4 bn in the same month last year.

BANKING-

The CBE is laying the groundwork for what could become its most ambitious monetary project yet — the digital EGP. As central bank digital currencies move from concept to reality globally, Egypt is weighing the promise of financial inclusion and efficient government payments against cybersecurity risks, banking sector stability, and a deeply entrenched cash economy.

AND- CIB has raised the rate on its three-year fixed “Premium” certificate by 50 bps to an 18% annual return. The CD pays monthly and starts at a EGP 50k minimum (rising in EGP 1k increments). The move keeps the nation’s largest private-sector lender in step with the state giants.

ENERGY-

We are returning to the quarterly automatic fuel-pricing mechanism this quarter. The fuel pricing committee will resume reviewing prices every three months, after the government temporarily switched to a cost-recovery model during the subsidy unwind.

REGULATION-

The CBE is tightening the rules on bank investments in corporate and securitization bonds, after a recent rise in lenders’ exposure to the instruments. Banks have six months to bring their internal policies in line with the new framework, which requires board-approved rules for bond investments to be filed with the regulator.

AND- The Financial Regulatory Authority has put NBFI company Smart & Value on its list of violators. The FRA alleges that Smart & Value did not follow the proper procedures for governing companies authorized to collect funds for investment.

HOSPITALITY-

Owners of furnished rental units who want to rent to tourists have one year to license them with the Tourism Ministry. The permit requirement — issued last year — pushes owners to regularize. To ease the transition, the PM has approved a full waiver of the fees required to convert a unit from residential to short-term rental use, conditional on meeting hotel building codes.

🌍 AROUND THE WORLD IN SEVEN DAYS-

This week’s headlines were dominated by the collapse of the fragile Iran ceasefire, a high-stakes Nato summit in Ankara, and a fresh wave of pharma and tech dealmaking. Here’s the rundown.

The US-Iran truce fell apart on Wednesday when Washington launched one of its largest single rounds of strikes on Iran since the war began in retaliation for Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels crossing the Strait of Hormuz earlier in the week. Iran responded by hitting US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. US President Donald Trump, speaking at the Nato summit in Ankara, called negotiations a “waste of time,” and Washington reimposed sanctions on Iranian oil sales just weeks after granting Tehran a temporary USD-sale waiver.

Strikes continued into a second straight day on Thursday, with Washington maintaining the attacks are retaliation for Tehran’s “unjustified aggression” on Hormuz maritime traffic. Meanwhile, an advisor to Iran’s supreme leader warned of an immediate response. Oil prices, which had drifted down toward USD 75 / bbl on ceasefire optimism, jumped to a two-week high.

The Ankara summit doubled as a defense-spending showcase, with Nato allies signing roughly USD 50 bn in new arms agreements to show they’re serious about last year’s 5% GDP pledge. Trump used the platform to single out Spain as a laggard, threatening to “cut off all trade.” He is also expected to greenlight F-35 sales to Turkey, reversing a first-term ban.

MEANWHILE- It was a busy week for dealmakers. Goldman Sachs captured 44% of EMEA’s USD 676 bn M&A market in 1H 2026 — its best share in nearly a decade. Vertex Pharma agreed to buy Crinetics Pharma for roughly USD 10 bn, the latest in a pharma dealmaking wave driven by looming patent cliffs. Amazon plans to raise USD 25 bn in bonds to fund AI infrastructure, joining Alphabet, Microsoft, and Meta in tapping debt markets for the same reason. Microsoft, meanwhile, is cutting 4.8k jobs in its Xbox division.

ALSO- Twin explosions hit central Damascus as French President Emmanuel Macron met his Syrian counterpart Ahmed Al Sharaa — the second such attack in the capital in under a week.

☀️ THE WEATHER THIS WEEKEND-

If your weekend plans involve being outdoors, plan accordingly. Cairo is expected to reach highs of 36°C today and tomorrow, with overnight temperatures settling at 24°C. Up on the North Coast, expect sunny skies, with a high of 31°C and a low of 22°C — before climbing to a balmy low of 24°C on Saturday, according to our favorite weather app.

🎤 HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND-

Classic summer flicks for your viewing pleasure

🍿There’s a version of summer that exists entirely on screen — long afternoons that bleed into warm evenings, the kind of unhurried pace that real life rarely delivers but cinema has always known how to fake. The films that capture it best aren’t necessarily the ones set on beaches or soundtracked by chart hits. They’re the ones that feel like the season itself: loose, a little electric, and just escapist enough to make a Friday night at home feel like a deliberate choice rather than a default.

In this week's edition of The Enterprise Guide, we're revisiting the films worth queuing up this season — sorted by mood for whatever kind of Friday night you're having. Some you’ll know frame by frame. Others you may not have thought about in years.

Family comedies

There’s a specific kind of family comedy that works for everyone in the room, regardless of age — not because it talks down to anyone, but because it’s built around a genuinely good story. These three have that in common.

#1- The Parent Trap (1998): A pre-fame Lindsay Lohan plays identical twins separated at birth who meet at summer camp, clock each other immediately, and hatch an elaborate plan to reunite their parents. It sounds thin on paper, but somehow it isn’t — Nancy Meyers directs it with warmth and real comic timing, and the camp sequences in particular hold up better than most films of the era.

The film also benefits from a genuinely charming supporting cast, including a scene-stealing Elaine Hendrix as the villain-adjacent fiancée the girls are determined to derail. A near-perfect family watch.

WHERE TO WATCH- Available for streaming on Disney+.

#2- Matilda (1996): Danny DeVito adapts Roald Dahl’s beloved novel and stars in it, playing the spectacularly useless Mr. Wormwood opposite Mara Wilson’s Matilda — a child genius born into a family entirely indifferent to her existence. The film walks the line between dark and delightful that Dahl always intended, and it does so without softening either edge. Thirty years on, it remains one of the better children’s films ever made — funny, strange, and furious on behalf of every kid who ever felt overlooked.

WHERE TO WATCH- Available for rent on Apple TV.

#3- Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989): Rick Moranis accidentally miniaturizes his children and the neighbors’ kids with a homemade shrink ray, and the bulk of the film follows them navigating a suddenly enormous backyard — sprinklers become floods, ants become allies, and a lawnmower is a genuine existential threat. The premise is absurd, and the film commits to it completely. It’s pure summer filmmaking — outdoor, sun-drenched, and cheerfully inventive. Exactly the right energy for a hot night in.

WHERE TO WATCH- Available for streaming on Disney+.

Summer romances

The late ‘90s were peak rom-com — a moment when the genre had genuine wit, before it curdled into formula. All three films here are from that window, and all three are better than you might remember.

#1- 10 Things I Hate About You (1999): A loose Shakespeare adaptation — The Taming of the Shrew transplanted to a Seattle high school — that works because it takes its characters seriously, even when the plot doesn’t. Heath Ledger is effortlessly charming as Patrick Verona, Julia Stiles is sharp and funny as Kat, and the film earns its ending in a way most rom-coms of the era don’t. The stadium scene alone is worth the watch.

WHERE TO WATCH- Available for streaming on Disney+.

#2- Notting Hill (1999): Hugh Grant plays a mild-mannered London bookshop owner who falls for the world’s most famous actress, played by Julia Roberts, at the height of her stardom — which gives the casting a meta quality the film knows exactly how to use. Richard Curtis’s script is warmer and funnier than its reputation suggests, and the supporting cast, including Rhys Ifans as the world's worst flatmate, makes every scene around the central romance earn its keep.

WHERE TO WATCH- Available for rent on Apple TV.

#3- My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997): Julia Roberts again, but in a very different register — playing a food critic who realizes she’s in love with her best friend the week he announces he’s marrying someone else. What makes the film unusual is that it doesn’t give her an easy out: she behaves badly, she knows it, and the film doesn’t pretend otherwise. Smarter and darker than the marketing suggested at the time, with a Cameron Diaz performance that’s better than it got credit for and a Rupert Everett supporting turn that steals every scene he’s in.

WHERE TO WATCH- Available for rent on Apple TV.

Summer thrillers

Not every Friday night calls for something comfortable. These three are for the evenings when you want something that keeps you honest — tense, propulsive, and not entirely willing to let you look away.

#1- Jaws 2 (1978): Amity Island has a shark problem, to put it simply, and the people in charge still haven’t learned anything from the events of the previous movie. Jaws 2 is a competent, genuinely tense sequel that earns its place in the franchise. The teenage ensemble it introduces gives the second half real momentum, and the open-water finale delivers exactly what you came for. It might, however, trigger fears of swimming in the Mediterranean.

WHERE TO WATCH- The franchise is available for rent on Apple TV.

#2- The Fugitive (1993): Harrison Ford is wrongly convicted of murdering his wife, survives a spectacular train crash during a prison transfer, and spends the next two hours trying to find the real killer while Tommy Lee Jones — delivering one of cinema’s great supporting performances — hunts him with relentless, cheerful efficiency across Chicago. The film earned Jones an Oscar and it deserved to. It’s as tightly constructed a thriller as the decade produced — no wasted scenes, no wasted minutes. If you’ve only seen it once, you’ve missed half of what it's doing.

WHERE TO WATCH- Available for rent on Apple TV.

#3- The Silence of the Lambs (1991): Jodie Foster plays FBI trainee Clarice Starling, who is tasked with interviewing imprisoned psychiatrist and cannibal Hannibal Lecter — Anthony Hopkins, in fewer than 25 minutes of screen time — to help profile a serial killer still at large. The film snagged all five major Oscars, a feat only two other films in history have matched, and it’s not hard to see why.

This is the darkest film on the list by some distance. Not a watch for young children, nor one to put on if you’re after something easy. But if the evening calls for something that genuinely unsettles you, nothing here comes close.

Nostalgic dramas

These are the films that linger. Less about plot than about feeling — the distinct texture of a summer that changed something, a friendship that mattered, a life in the middle of becoming.

#1- Stand by Me (1986): Four boys in small-town Oregon set out to find a dead body in the woods — and what they find instead, inevitably, is each other. Rob Reiner’s adaptation of Stephen King’s novella is the definitive coming-of-age film of its decade: funny, melancholic, and completely honest about the intensity of childhood friendships that don’t survive into adulthood.

WHERE TO WATCH- Available for rent on Apple TV.

#2- Grease (1978): Sandy and Danny's summer romance, tested by the social hierarchies of Rydell High, set to some of the most recognizable songs ever put to film. The plot is paper-thin and always was — Grease works because of its energy, its cast, and the sheer commitment of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John to selling every scene, regardless of whether it makes sense. Decades on, it’s one of the most enjoyable musicals out there — even if it’s absurd at times.

WHERE TO WATCH- Available for rent on Apple TV.

#3- Forrest Gump (1994): Tom Hanks plays Forrest Gump — a man of limited intellect and unlimited sincerity — whose life intersects with three decades of American history entirely by accident. It’s a film about luck, love, and the strange randomness of a life well lived, and it earns every one of its two hours and twenty minutes.

Robert Zemeckis directs with control over tone — the film moves between comedy and grief without ever feeling manipulative. The running sequence remains one of cinema’s great images of uncomplicated forward motion. A film worth returning to every few years.

WHERE TO WATCH- Available for streaming on Shahid.

Estrangement in Jim Jarmusch’s Father Mother Sister Brother

🎥 Beyond mere imagery: In his latest film, Father Mother Sister Brother, American director Jim Jarmusch returns to his signature approach of disconnected narratives, assembling a triptych of tenderness about fractured family bonds. The Golden Lion recipient at the Venice Film Festival trades dramatic conflict for moments of silence and dry, melancholic comedy — offering a meditation on family, memory, and what survives years of absence and estrangement.

The plot: The film unfolds across three stories, each set in a different city, all converging on a single theme: adult children returning to confront a parent after years of distance. In the US, siblings Jeff (Adam Driver) and Emily (Mayim Bialik) visit their reclusive father (Tom Waits), a trip that lays bare the emotional gulf between them. In Dublin, sisters Timothea (Cate Blanchett) and Lilith (Vicky Krieps) meet their celebrated novelist mother (Charlotte Rampling) — a reunion in which glances carry years of unresolved history. In Paris, twins Sky (Indya Moore) and Billy (Luka Sabbat) are brought together by a family tragedy that tests their shared memories.

Each story stands alone, yet all three are facets of the same idea. Moving between his characters, Jarmusch poses an unsettling question: Does the absence of open conflict mean a family is healthy, or can silence and coldness leave wounds just as deep as those left by open confrontation?

What we liked: The film sidesteps the usual clichés of family drama. There is no violence, no estrangement in the dramatic sense, no toxic parents or victimized children. Every character is gentle yet incapable of genuine connection with the people closest to them. Relationships hide behind pleasantries and small talk, making the real problem not the absence of feeling but the shallowness of contact. We also appreciated the score, which functions as part of the storytelling, holding the film’s quiet rhythm without pushing the viewer toward any particular emotion.

Our verdict: This film doesn’t suit fans of fast pacing or conventional dramatic arcs, but it offers a rare human experience that dismantles what we take for granted within the family unit. It’s a dissection of the power dynamics between family members — eroding slowly under the weight of accumulated silence and unspoken words.

WHERE TO WATCH- Catch the film at Zawya Cinema. Watch the trailer on YouTube (watch, runtime: 2:13).

Modern financial advice through ancient stories

📚 Financial advice gets a twist with David L. Hancock’s TheBabylon Blueprint. Drawing inspiration from the premise of George S. Clason’s The Richest Man in Babylon, Hancock reworks the modern classic’s principles and parable-driven wisdom, translating them into practical, modern-day strategies for building wealth and cultivating habits that support long-term financial success.

What to expect: Hancock divides his personal financial guide into 10 accessible chapters, each centered on one key step toward stronger financial planning. Opening with two thought-provoking quotes, every chapter introduces readers to a practical habit and actionable steps that they can incorporate into their financial lives, paired with a modern retelling of one of The Richest Man in Babylon’s principle-driven parables, adapted to today’s economic landscape. Each chapter also features case studies of successful entrepreneurs, offering real-world examples that reinforce the book’s lessons and provide an extra dose of motivation.

What we liked: The book is as simple as personal finance books get. Hancock covers the fundamentals of investing, saving, cashflow, and budgeting without technical jargon. He also explores the emotional and psychological habits that shape our financial decisions, encouraging readers to rethink their relationship with and mindset surrounding money.

What we didn’t like: While we appreciated the Babylonian-inspired premise and the attempt to modernize Clason’s lessons, the execution came off amateurish and fell short. The retellings, though relevant, felt oversimplified and lacked narrative depth. Hancock’s writing also often leaned toward the preachy. Ultimately, the book felt too instructional at times and lacked an engaging narrative with real depth.

The verdict: The Babylon Blueprint is an accessible, just-over-100-page read for readers looking for straightforward, easy-to-follow financial advice. If you’re after groundbreaking wealth-building strategies or a particularly compelling narrative, it might not be for you. However, if you’re a beginner looking for a fresh take on personal finance and want a modern take on the principles behind The Richest Man in Babylon, it’s worth a try.

WHERE TO GET IT- You can find a physical copy at Diwan. You can also get the eBook on Kobo.

A Greek detour worth making

🍴 Alexandria in the summer has its own distinct charms — ones that set it apart from Sahel. The old and the new interweave, seaside views sit alongside city living, and the dining scene carries a character that's harder to find on the North Coast. If you’re heading up that way soon, consider a pit stop in Alexandria, specifically at White & Blue at the Greek Club in Qaitbay.

What to expect: White & Blue delivers on the full Greek Mediterranean package — white and blue interiors, Greek music drifting through the space, and views of the marina that make the setting feel like a genuine export from the Aegean. The menu is a tour of Greek classics: keftedes, spanakopita, feta with honey and sesame, tzatziki, chicken souvlaki, risotto, moussaka, and more. It’s a broad menu, but it doesn't feel unfocused.

What we liked: The feta with honey and sesame was a near-perfect opener — sweet and savory in exactly the right proportions, light enough to set the table without overwhelming it. The tzatziki was among the better versions we’ve had: well-balanced, properly thick, and not powered by the garlic. The chicken souvlaki was fresh and well-portioned, served with a choice of two sides — we went for fries and vegetables, and the vegetables were, unexpectedly, the stronger of the two. The real highlight, though, was the sunset. The sky held its red hue well past 8pm, and watching it over the marina is the kind of thing that earns a restaurant a return visit on its own.

What we didn’t particularly like: White & Blue sits in one of Alexandria’s busiest tourist spots, and it shows. Expect crowds, noise, and a fair amount of shoulder-to-shoulder navigation when getting in and out. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it's worth knowing before you go.

The verdict: White & Blue isn’t trying to reinvent anything — it’s delivering a reliable, well-executed Greek Mediterranean experience in a setting that does a lot of the heavy lifting. The food is solid, the views are genuinely worth it, and the overall experience feels like a proper summer evening out. If you’re passing through Alexandria on the way to or from the coast, it’s worth a stop.

WHERE TO FIND IT- White & Blue is located near Qaitbay Castle in Alexandria. Reservations are required and can be made through their Instagram.

Does AI speak Arabic?

👂 In a world where AI is reshaping how we read, write, and publish, Arabic sits in an unusually complicated position: A language split between a written formal register and dozens of spoken dialects. Afikra podcast takes that question on in one of its latest episodes, with Lebanese host Mikey Muhanna exploring the intersections of language, culture, and identity with Nizar Habash, professor of computer science at NYU Abu Dhabi.

An overview: The Podcast Network is one of the region’s most prominent cultural and intellectual digital initiatives, dedicated to exploring Arab history, culture, arts, and identity beyond surface-level treatment — bringing together academics, researchers, and artists to unpack complex questions about Arab heritage on the basis of rigorous research.

Arabic and AI: The latest episode examines the challenges of building AI models in Arabic: the scarcity of high-quality Arabic training data, the diversity of dialects, spelling ambiguity, the absence of diacritics, and overlapping morphological structures. It also covers the key problems language model developers — Habash himself being one — encounter when working with Arabic, and what the language’s future looks like amid rapid technological change.

What we liked: Muhanna is a strong moderator: he gives guests room to develop their thinking rather than running through questions in a conventional format, keeping the conversation accessible without dumbing it down. The episode’s production also deserves credit for the questions it chooses — questions that open up the subject rather than close it down.

The verdict: Afikra is one of the most important Arabic cultural spaces around, and one worth returning to regularly. It goes deep on its subjects, consistently, with a younger, cross-background audience in mind. The range of topics it covers is one of its strongest draws, regardless of where your interests lie.

WHERE TO LISTEN- You can tune in on Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Anghami | YouTube.
