Meanwhile, the state is looking at a range of innovations to make our local wheat stretch further \u2014 including making more flour from the same amount of grain, and making flour from sweet potato.<\/p><p><strong>Privatization and FDI continues to be a dominant theme, with more potential investments <\/strong><strong>coming from our friends in KSA.<\/strong> This time, we appear to have garnered their sovereign wealth fund\u2019s interest in tourism and in aluminum.

This would require incentives from the state, and even investment to crowd in the private sector.<\/p><p><strong>What sessions, you may ask? <\/strong>Every Sunday and Tuesday will see workshops on how privatization plans will affect specific industries.

id=\"tldr-story-01\"><\/a> <strong>The Madbouly government has inked a contract to buy 180k tons of wheat from India<\/strong>, which should be heading our way soon, Supply Minister Ali El Moselhy said at a presser yesterday, where he spoke broadly on our wheat import policies in FY2022-2023, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/africa\/egypt-studies-raising-flour-extraction-875-82-used-subsidized-bread-2022-06-26\/\">Reuters<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-06-26\/one-of-world-s-major-wheat-buyers-to-trim-imports-as-prices-rise?srnd=premium-middle-east\">Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We were hoping for more Indian wheat: <\/strong>This is a little over a third of the 500k tons <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/9d6fa0f0-2d5b-4ae8-b764-8e19398f26ac\">we had originally expected<\/a> to receive from India \u2014 but we hadn\u2019t signed final contracts on the order before New Delhi imposed a ban on exports last month. As a semi-exemption from the restrictions <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/42fc30fa-9136-4971-a9b5-8844e2991226\">following negotiations<\/a>, the supplier agreed to ship us the 180k tons that were already in port before the export ban was imposed, El Moselhy said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2026And <\/strong><strong>more Russian grain: <\/strong>We\u2019re in talks with Russian suppliers on a potential wheat purchase, Moselhy added. While the Ukraine conflict has blocked all imports from Ukraine \u2014 once a key supplier to Egypt \u2014 wheat has continued to roll in from Russia, with imports from the country <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/1b9226f9-5427-4ca2-a384-24faebf8b251\">even climbing 84%<\/a> in the three months to May, though they remain down YTD.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Egypt\u2019s total wheat imports for FY2022-2023 are expected to come in at 10 mn tons<\/strong>, with the state looking to import some 5-5.5 mn tons of that during the upcoming fiscal year, the minister said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asharqbusiness.com\/article\/39000\">Bloomberg Asharq<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We\u2019re relying more on local wheat \u2014 but it\u2019s not coming cheap:<\/strong> Increasing local wheat procurement prices is costing the state an additional EGP 22 bn, El Moselhy said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/msitgovegypt\/videos\/564205531878915\">watch<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/msitgovegypt\/videos\/564205531878915\">, runtime 8:40<\/a>). Farmers are receiving EGP 865-885 per ardeb of wheat they sell to the state, after the government raised the price of local wheat in a bid to encourage farmers to sell more of their crop to the government. The government will spend around EGP 36 bn to purchase 6 mn tons of local wheat this harvest season, which ends in August, the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/d4959ef4-a9f1-4ae3-8354-83e891ebea97\">Finance Minis<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/d4959ef4-a9f1-4ae3-8354-83e891ebea97\">try has said<\/a>. It had at last count bought <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/1b9226f9-5427-4ca2-a384-24faebf8b251\">more than 4.1 mn tons<\/a> so far.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Extracting more flour per ton of wheat <\/strong><strong>could trim 500k tons off our wheat imports in FY<\/strong><strong> 2022-20<\/strong><strong>23<\/strong>, El Moselhy also said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/msitgovegypt\/videos\/788142682205122\">watch, runtime:<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/msitgovegypt\/videos\/788142682205122\">26:54<\/a>). The plan would see the government raise the percentage of flour extracted from wheat after milling and sifting to 87.5%, from 82% currently. Flour with <a href=\"https:\/\/breadtopia.com\/faq\/high-extraction-flour\/\">high extraction rates<\/a> has more bran and germ content, which makes it generally healthier than highly refined flour, El Moselhy added.

The Public Investment Fund (PIF) could snag a 20% stake in the hotels company, Tawfik said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A sale on the EGX could follow:<\/strong> Following the acquisition, the government could then list a 10% on the bourse, he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What new hotels company?<\/strong> The state is currently working on <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/1e20e3ec-470d-40fc-bd71-c08efcd42d82\">merging<\/a> seven or eight state-owned hotels into a single entity to be offered up as part of the state\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/158188ff-65a9-4146-adc1-5f53c1a3f6e5\">privatization plans<\/a>, which aims to attract USD 40 bn of fresh foreign investment into the country over the next four years by selling stakes in state-owned assets to local and international investors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who\u2019s getting the golden ticket? <\/strong>Aswan\u2019s Sofitel Legend Old Cataract, Cairo Marriott Hotel, Marriott Mena House, and Steigenberger Cecil Hotel Alexandria are among some of the most notable hotels to be offered to investors, Tawfik reportedly said, according to local press coverage of his interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shorouknews.com\/news\/view.aspx?cdate=26062022&id=d7118007-1e43-43bb-ae4f-fecbd637dab2\">state run MENA agency<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Talks are still in very early stages: <\/strong>Talks between the fund and the Sovereign Fund of Egypt (SFE) are still at an early stage, Tawfik reportedly said.

Tawfik has previously said that state IPOs <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/8b2c33be-7c85-4d39-ac7e-87db30be13b4\">could begin starting September<\/a>.

Entrenched inflation, influential banking body <\/strong><strong>warns: <\/strong>The Bank for International Settlements \u2014 which performs banking services for central banks worldwide \u2014 has called for a \u201cdecisive\u201d wave of global rate hikes from central banks to curb inflation in its flagship <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2022\/6\/ar2022e.pdf\">annual economic report (pdf)<\/a> published yesterday. \u201cThe key for central banks is to act quickly and decisively before inflation becomes entrenched,\u201d said Agust\u00edn Carstens, BIS general manager. The fear is that major economies could reach \u201ca tipping point, beyond which an inflationary psychology spreads,\u201d BIS warns, counseling that short-term pain in the form of a recession triggered by rate hikes would be preferable to that scenario.<\/p><p><strong>Value stocks are holding up better than their growth siblings as global policy tightens<\/strong><strong>: <\/strong>Value equities are currently outperforming growth equities with a 13% margin so far this year, which if maintained would mark their largest margin since 2001, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/value-investors-bet-recent-market-leadership-is-just-the-start-11656235980?mod=hp_lead_pos1\">Wall Street Journal<\/a> writes. \u201cI\u2019ve never been more excited about value,\u201d one investor told the outlet.<\/p><p><strong>But remember \u2014 all equities are down, value stocks just less so. <\/strong>The Russell 1000 Value index has dropped 12% so far this year, while the Russell 1000 Growth index saw a 25% drop.<\/p><p><strong>Value vs. growth: <\/strong>Value stocks \u2014 companies with cheaper valuations and higher dividend payouts \u2014 tend to do well in higher interest rate environments as investors rotate out of the more expensive, dividend-less growth stocks.

financing sounds good in theory \u2014 but tuition loans fall short in practice:<\/strong> The desire for prestigious, high-quality education means that demand for enrollment in private, international schools \u2014 which are not particularly cheap to attend \u2014 is growing here in Egypt. There are at least 2.5 mn children (around 10.6% of our total student population) enrolled in private schools, according to figures cited in a recent Colliers <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2021\/1\/Egypt-K12-Education-Sector-Market-Overview.pdf\">report (pdf)<\/a>. But with <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/blackboards\/private-schools-egypt-feeling-pinch-inflation\/\">rising inflation<\/a>, private school tuition <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/blackboards\/faced-rising-costs-private-schools-clashing-parents-tuition-fees-increase-upcoming-academic-year\/\">has been on the rise<\/a>, making it increasingly expensive to finance a child\u2019s K-12 education. Could education loans help?<\/p>\n<p><strong>As was the case <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/blackboards\/__trashed\/\">back in 2020<\/a><\/strong><strong>, K-12 education loans have not really picked up among parents<\/strong>, although the banking sector has been working to make loans more attractive. Banks are still trying to get creative with their offerings and tap into new pockets of demand \u2014 but many parents we spoke to maintain that traditional financing options available to them are simply not attractive enough, whether due to high interest rates or short tenors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Private K-12 education is not a cheap endeavor:<\/strong> Parents should have at least EGP 769k on hand for the entire duration of their kids\u2019 private school education, according to a recent study by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edarabia.com\/schooling-cairo-cost-3-million-egp\/#:~:text=Total%20Cost%20of%20Study%20(14,whole%20duration%20of%20their%20study.\">EdArabia<\/a>, which found that international schools can cost up to a total of EGP 3 mn per child. \u201cThe biggest bulk of my annual income goes to my kids\u2019 school,\u201d Omar Ayman, a father and an engineer at a construction company admitted. Tuition fees for his two sons for their current school year cost around EGP 188k per child.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There are plenty of tuition loan options in the country:<\/strong> The majority of Egypt\u2019s 39 banks offer products to facilitate tuition payments, according to our survey, from private banking players like HSBC and CIB, to state-owned institutions like Banque du Caire and United Bank.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By the numbers:<\/strong> Education loan amounts typically range between EGP 2k to 1.5 mn, depending on the bank, according to customer service agents we spoke with. The average loan tenor is around a year, though state-owned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.banquemisr.com\/ar\/smes\/ConsumerLoans\/Pages\/Education-Loan.aspx\">Banque Misr<\/a> allows the loan to be repaid over up to 84 months \u2014 the longest time period we\u2019ve come across.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The average interest rate for education loans is around 18%,<\/strong> with many maintaining that interest rates can vary on an individual basis, mostly based on the borrower\u2019s income and creditworthiness, as well as the loan amount and tenor. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cibeg.com\/ar\/personal\/loans\/education\">CIB<\/a>offers education loans at an average of 15-17.5% while the Housing & Development Bank\u2019s interest rate is set at 22.5% is the highest we\u2019ve recorded \u2014 however, HDB can potentially provide the biggest loans, with no maximum amount for its education facility.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Just to put that into perspective:<\/strong> The CBE\u2019s deposit rate currently stands at 11.25% and the lending rate at 12.25%<\/p>\n<p><strong>Demand continues to be low:<\/strong> One bank exec we spoke to said she didn\u2019t receive a single request for an education facility in over a year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s holding demand up? First off, the lack of familiarity:<\/strong> \u201cIt\u2019s just not an option that has ever crossed my mind when budgeting for my kids\u2019 school fees,\u201d admitted Ayman. \u201cI think I may have heard about education loans being offered at my bank, but I didn\u2019t really dig deeper.\u201d Ayman has opted for borrowing from his parents to help plug the financing needs for his children\u2019s tuition, but never considered taking out a loan from the bank due to lack of familiarity with the concept.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And banks haven\u2019t been pushing the product:<\/strong> Credit Agricole decided to discontinue their education loans and shift its focus to educators instead, offering a special loan program designed exclusively for school teachers, \u201cin appreciation for their important role in the education of Egypt\u2019s youth,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ca-egypt.com\/en\/products\/teachers-cash-loan\/?bank_segment=personal-banking\">bank<\/a> says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And parents still prefer to take out personal loans to pay their school tuition:<\/strong> Customers are naturally more familiar with traditional products such as personal loans, and with little-to-no difference in interest rates, most parents are sticking to personal loans, which traditionally require less paperwork and allow more flexibility.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Personal loans offer more flexibility:<\/strong> Education loans require specific documentation from academic institutions, and the money goes directly into the schools\u2019 pockets, whereas personal loans can be taken out and directed wherever the parent sees fit \u2014 part of it can go towards quarterly tuition installment, with the rest divided among other funding needs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And the fine print on an education loan is often unappealing:<\/strong> One parent we spoke with opted for a personal loan instead of an education loan because the structure of the education loan \u201cmade no sense\u201d as an option. \u201cI was offered a EGP 750k personal loan, whereas the education loan was capped at EGP 100k, and I would have had to pay it back over a year, and then apply for another loan the next year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But some banks are getting creative:<\/strong> Arab Bank, for example, provides a non-loan education payment plan that can be repaid over nine months at 1.25% interest. Parents can make tuition payments through their credit cards, and then notify the bank, which then makes room for more flexibility and applies a reduced interest rate, head of consumer banking Mohamed El Halawani tells us. The program has proven to be more popular among parents than traditional education loans, which the bank also offers at interest rates ranging between 14-15%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One creative route: Tapping Egyptian students getting their education abroad: <\/strong>HSBC Egypt has been helping families through facilitating the opening of new international multi-currency accounts and other services, including access to exclusive partnerships with education institutions. None of the other banks we spoke with appear to be offering a similar service. The bank launched HSBC International Education in 2019 for its Premier clients, to help parents with the transition of their children moving abroad to continue their education, Nesreen Hafez, HSBC Egypt\u2019s Head Of Wealth and Personal Banking tells Enterprise. While HSBC continues to offer traditional education loans at undisclosed \u201ccompetitive rates,\u201d they have been seeing an increasing interest in their International Education proposition, Hafez says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So what can the banking sector do to make education financing options more appealing?<\/strong> \u201cStart by lowering the interest rate,\u201d a bank product head tells us. Despite recent attempts by many banks to reduce interest rates on their education loans, they\u2019re still not low enough to be considered an appealing option.<\/p>\n<hr
