headline inflation in January slowed to its lowest level since September 2020. <\/strong>Urban headline inflation dropped for the second consecutive month to 4.3% from 5.4% <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/d0d5a197-b4a0-48fd-9884-ef50416da06e\">in December 2020<\/a>, and closing in on a 3.7% <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/f3b6ca2c-4abd-438e-90bc-691dfe2bea84\">record low<\/a> reading last September, figures from state statistics agency <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2021\/2\/Capmas-inflation-Jan21.pdf\">Capmas (pdf)<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2021\/2\/CPI_press-release_January-2021.pdf\">central bank (pdf)<\/a> showed. On a monthly basis, inflation was -0.4%, as a further drop in food and vegetable prices from an increase in stockpiles and a fall in food exports led to the same pace of deflation recorded in December. The story is getting attention from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/idUSKBN2AA0HO\">Reuters<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-02-10\/egypt-january-inflation-rate-slows-as-food-prices-ease?sref=mmeFTDW1\">Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Food and beverage prices fell again this month,<\/strong> dropping 1.6% month-on-month and 0.5% y-o-y from January 2020. The price of vegetables fell over 20% on average from December, after having already seen a 10% m-o-m drop in the final month of the year, despite the winter holidays\u2019 effect on seasonal spending. Most other consumer price index constituents were flat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Annual core inflation<\/strong> \u2014 which strips out volatile items \u2014 fell to 3.6% in January compared to 3.8% in December. Monthly core inflation, meanwhile, ticked up to 0.5% from 0% in December.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inflation fell below CBE target: <\/strong>The reading came below the lower band of the central bank\u2019s 7% (+\/- 2%) target. The CBE adjusted its target range from 6% (+\/-3%) <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/8a7e084b-539b-48a1-9a82-a716977f281f\">in December<\/a> after inflation was muted for the better part of 2020 and exceeded its previous target <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/7d516919-c014-4ca0-80eb-af55172d83bd\">only once<\/a>. Persistently low inflation previously triggered consultations with the IMF\u2019s technical team <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/21258759-15a5-4f32-bd15-b6710a8f13f6\">late last year<\/a> under the terms of a stand-by loan agreement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And below analyst expectations: <\/strong>\u201cInflation for January 2020 came in much lower than our expectations\u201d on the back of food and vegetable prices, Pharos\u2019 head of research Radwa Elswaify said. Elswaify had expected a higher reading every month throughout the first three quarters of 2021, and a slowdown only toward 4Q20021. \u201cThe slowdown in inflation brought down the 2021 expected average level to 5.3%,\u201d Pharos said in a client note this morning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Momentum looking forward: <\/strong>February should see a m-o-m figure of 0.5% and an annual headline rate of 5.2% and 4.8% in urban parts of Egypt, Elswaify said. Naeem Brokerage echoed Elswaify\u2019s sentiment, saying in a research note that inflation will increase in the near term \u201con the back of the ongoing surge in global commodity prices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is a rate cut on the horizon? <\/strong>\u201cSince [the] inflation reading came lower than expectations, this raises real rates and improves the chances for a 50 bps rate cut early this year,\u201d Elswaify said. Pharos is yet to confirm its forecast for the upcoming policy meeting. Whether or not we see a cut when the central bank meets next month would \u201cdepend on a few variables including upcoming commodity price shocks, including oil and food, liquidity and carry-trade attractiveness,\u201d Naeem Brokerage\u2019s director of research Allen Sandeep said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The monetary policy committee is due to next meet on 18 March. <\/strong>The MPC left rates unchanged during their <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/89abd5a5-55ef-4740-a237-e949fae3d267\">most recent meeting<\/a> on 4 February, citing muted economic activity.

The pilot program provides farmers with tools that use sensors to monitor soil moisture which transmit data to an accompanying mobile app that allows users to more accurately gauge how much water is needed to maintain crop health. The project is part of a drive to encourage farmers and landowners to move away from outdated, inefficient irrigation techniques.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Convincing farmers may be the tough part:<\/strong> Only a handful of farmers in Minya and the New Valley governorates have so far seen the initial phase of the program, which was met with mixed reviews. Some say that they were able to reduce water usage by up to 20% and cut down on labor costs by some 30%.

Not <\/strong><strong>much<\/strong>, says Khalid. In the short-run, the wider implications of the pandemic \u2014 especially the vaccine rollout \u2014 will have a greater impact than local macro triggers. And as the weather gets warmer, and the current wave of the virus decreases, consumer spending will go up, supporting inflation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Either way, the heaviest rate cuts are behind us<\/strong>, says Khalid. The wiggle room for further cuts is getting shorter, falling to 100 to 150 bps.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CBE will prioritize unifying corridor rates and yields: <\/strong>Right now, open market control is a more pressing issue as we notice that local macro triggers such as inflation take a back seat in terms of overall impact. The current overnight deposit and lending rates remain at 8.25% and 9.25% respectively, which is appropriate, says Khalid. But yields are at around 10.5%.

The modern day remix? Don\u2019t trust a social media platform \u2014 or an oil company.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Apple is moving past corporate trash talk in its war of words with Facebook and is <\/strong><strong>forcing the Zuck to comply with new guidelines that protect user privacy <\/strong>(provided they\u2019re using an Apple device). \u201cBeginning sometime this spring, every iOS app that wants to \u2018track\u2019 a user \u2014 that is, share their behavior and data with other apps, websites, or data brokers \u2014 has to first get their express permission,\u201d writes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/facebook-apple-feud-over-privacy-internet-future\/\">Wired<\/a>. If most users opt out, this could slash Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s top line by more than 10%. Facebook has in turn launched a PR offensive against Apple, claiming the company will hurt small businesses who use Facebook ads to target customers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The counterpoint: <\/strong>Apple has a long track record of publicly taking steps to protect user privacy, from limiting third-party cookies in Safari to doing as much computing as possible on device rather than in the cloud. CEO Tim Cook said in 2018 that <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tim_cook\/status\/1055035539915718656?lang=en\">privacy is a fundamental human right<\/a> and has called it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2021\/01\/28\/tim-cook-privacy-interview\/\">\u201cone of the top issues of the century\u201d<\/a> as his battle with Facebook has played out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who to trust? Third parties agree: El Face\u2019s campaign against Apple is BS. <\/strong>Read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eff.org\/deeplinks\/2020\/12\/facebooks-laughable-campaign-against-apple-really-against-users-and-small\">Facebook\u2019s laughable campaign against Apple is really against users and small businesses<\/a> by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which calls \u2018em as it sees \u2018em.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Need a clearer answer? Ask yourselves where the fraudsters are. <\/strong>Number of people on our staff whose credit cards have been compromised and used in a Facebook ad scam in the past two weeks? Two. Number of people whose credit cards have ever been used in an Apple ad scam? Zero.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Big Tech may be rotting our brains, sewing hate and contributing to the general decline of human civilization \u2014 but hey, they\u2019re trying to be good to the environment. <\/strong>Amazon, Facebook and Google have joined Apple and Microsoft to become \u201cthe dominant buyers of clean power\u201d as they look to make good on environmental pledges, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/0c69d4a4-2626-418d-813c-7337b8d5110d\">Financial Times<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You know who\u2019s not doing so well by the environment, even as they blather on about becoming \u201cenergy\u201d companies?
