The EGP fell an additional two piasters yesterday to 19.5784 against the USD, breaching the record low 19.5605 low set five years ago. The EGP has lost 24.1% of its value against the USD since the devaluation in March.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s the story of a weak EGP \u2014 and a strong USD. <\/strong>While the EGP has slid against the greenback, it has appreciated 17% against the GBP, 13% against the JPY and 8% against the EUR since March as currencies around the world lost ground to the USD.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It was just a matter of time:<\/strong> Under the leadership of Hassan Abdalla, the central bank has been allowing the EGP to drop steadily against the greenback: The currency has eased almost 2% since 18 August, when he replaced Tarek Amer as governor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enterprise readers see the EGP dropping to 22.12. <\/strong>That\u2019s the average figure the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/bd84427a-c81c-42e3-9a7b-a8ca9d01efdc\">Enterprise Fall 2022 Reader Survey<\/a> says we\u2019re using to put together our 2023 budgets. 22% of respondents to our reader poll say they\u2019re budgeting with the EGP in the 22-23 band and the same number of participants say they figure the greenback will be changing hands at EGP 23-24 next year. A recent Goldman Sachs report says folks they spoke with in Cairo see the EGP in the 22-24 band, while BNP Paribas forecast before last week\u2019s CBE policy meeting that the currency would fall to 22-23 by the end of the year.

The committee approves policies and strategies for developing the auto sector, and will prepare quarterly reports on its work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sitting on the committee: <\/strong>A number of government officials and non-governmental \u201cexperts,\u201d the statement said, without mentioning names.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The strategy has been a long time coming:<\/strong> The long-awaited automotive strategy has been repeatedly delayed over recent years. We were expecting some sort of announcement <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/4340294c-0578-4130-b593-f6b84cd34a4f\">around the turn of the year<\/a>, and though Madbouly gave <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/d85d54ff-5ca1-41bf-a2af-5e606e9c121a\">a major speech<\/a> about the strategy in June, there were precious few details about how the government plans to grow the local sector.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What we do know:<\/strong> The strategy will provide a number of incentives \u2014 including customs breaks \u2014 to automotive manufacturers and feeder industries.

shows.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The automotive strategy:<\/strong> Several shows dedicated time to discussing the government\u2019s strategy for developing the automotive sector after its new auto committee held its first meeting yesterday. In a phone-in with Masaa DMC (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KhGW0Xo4wbg\">watch, runtime: 7:49<\/a>), Khaled Shedid, non-executive chairman of Al Nasr Automotive Company, spoke of the importance of attracting multinationals to invest in Egypt. Khaled Saad, head of the Egyptian Association of Automobile Manufacturer, emphasized the need to localize automotive supply chains in Egypt to lower import costs. <strong>\u201cOur car import bill is now EGP 4 bn <\/strong>and is bound to reach EGP 8 bn unless something changes,\u201d he told Salat El Tahrir (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hjBzlTM-kBY\">watch, runtime: 6:26<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>We have full coverage of the committee's first meeting above.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>FACT CHECK- Ahmed El Ezaby isn\u2019t in cuffs: <\/strong>El Ezaby and Multipharma Chairman Ahmed El Ezaby joined Ala Mas\u2019ouleety (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EiueVOUcAmI\">watch, runtime: 3:11<\/a>) last night to debunk <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cairo24.com\/1663106\">rumors<\/a> that he had been detained by authorities after a court ruling. He admitted to being in legal trouble regarding the company\u2019s debts but said that it\u2019s not something for which he will serve prison time. Yahduth Fi Masr (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GrxnC1s5EAw\">watch, runtime: 3:21<\/a>) talked to El Ezaby\u2019s lawyer Yasser Fathy regarding the news, who explained that Multipharma,

Speaking to us this week is Lydia Schoonderbeek (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lydia-schoonderbeek-06151155\/\">LinkedIn<\/a>),<\/p>\n<p>founder and CEO of source beauty and chief creative officer at Egyptian Cosmetics Company. Edited excerpts from our conversation:<\/p>\n<p><strong>My name is Lydia Schoonderbeek and I\u2019m the founder and CEO of <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sourcebeauty.com\/\">Source Beauty<\/a><\/strong> and the chief creative officer at <a href=\"https:\/\/ecc-hub.com\/\">The Egyptian Cosmetics Company<\/a> (ECC). I'm half-Dutch and half-Egyptian. I was born in the UAE, but now I live between Cairo and London. I love being in Cairo \u2014 it's where I lived most of my life. I love being here with my team and my friends but I'm also very much at ease in London. My husband is English, and between the two of us, we have four boys and two golden retrievers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019ve always worked in the luxury industry. <\/strong>I worked in luxury fashion for 15 years including at Harrods, Harvey Nichols, and Vivian Westwood. Retail has really been ingrained in me from the day I started working.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The idea behind Source Beauty really came from the fact that I like to be dependent on products that are accessible to me locally.<\/strong> People shouldn\u2019t have to buy beauty products abroad and that\u2019s not feasible for everyone. Beauty products should be more accessible. The devaluation of the EGP and recent changes in import rules have made it more expensive and difficult to obtain products from abroad. As a result, these amazing local beauty brands started popping up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But even local brands weren\u2019t all available in one place. <\/strong>They either had a shop on Facebook, were selling at a Saturday market, or had an Instagram page. I decided to bring together all the beauty brands that I love, that are based in Egypt and are locally sourced, under an umbrella that would serve as a marketplace for all these products. Source Beauty started off with 10 beauty brands with around 300 SKUs. Now, we have 85 beauty brands with over 3500 SKUs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I wake up between 5-5:30am every day. <\/strong>I am very much a morning person \u2014 I\u2019m always the first one to wake up at home, so I get to enjoy quiet me-time. I take this time to review social media, check my emails, and read Enterprise. I do an outdoor activity one hour before work, either taking the dogs out for a walk or rowing on the Thames when I\u2019m in London.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My work day always starts at 9am with an hour-long call with my team.<\/strong> Each member updates the rest of the team on what\u2019s happening within their roles. It's a great way to give everyone on the team ownership of their tasks. It also really ensures that we\u2019re all communicating since communication is not really my strong suit. It\u2019s something I\u2019m working on, especially since I frequently work remotely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The fun part of our work is discovering and being introduced to new beauty brands.<\/strong> Our office in Cairo is like a Disneyland for beauty lovers, with rows upon rows of beauty products. We also closely monitor our KPIs, test the beauty products, and spend a lot of time fine-tuning our customer service experience from a customer\u2019s first interaction with the website, through the ordering process, to receiving their package. Something that I work very hard on is creating a personal experience for the customer. Having worked at Harrods, I appreciate the detail that goes into the best customer service experience. And I\u2019m very passionate about recreating that experience online.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The beauty industry in the Middle East is growing at a really quick pace. <\/strong>One trend that I am seeing in the industry is an increase in women-led brands, which is giving women a voice and an outlet. A lot of the brands we work with are small female-led businesses. It is really amazing being a part of these brands\u2019 journeys and witnessing their growth, both personally and professionally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inclusivity has also been a major trend. <\/strong>Certain brands speak to a certain Egyptian consumer. Big beauty brands like L'Or\u00e9al and Maybelline used to have a top-down approach, wherein they would tell customers this is the way they need to look. But these days, the trend has shifted and consumers are telling the brands, this is the way I want to look and these are the products I need, so it\u2019s become more of a two-way conversation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My new role as chief creative officer of ECC, and <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/2f5b8eea-d1f5-4f16-a190-912c6c082023\">ECC\u2019s investment in Source beauty<\/a><\/strong><strong>have kept me really busy.<\/strong> The investment has kick-started our growth plans. We\u2019re looking to grow the Source Beauty team quite substantially so I\u2019ve been recruiting. My role at ECC has been an amazing outlet for my creativity since ECC develops brands and handles the formulation and packaging. Developing new ideas and seeing them come to life has added an exciting element to my job. Letting go and delegating certain elements of growth to members of Source Beauty has been very difficult because for the last four years, I've had such a firm hand on every single detail.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I am not a TV person and generally not too big on screens, so I prefer reading.<\/strong> I am currently reading the Paper Palace. A book I highly recommend is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Americanah-Chimamanda-Ngozi-Adichie\/dp\/0307455920\">Americanah<\/a> by Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. It\u2019s a fantastic book that really moved me quite a bit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some really good advice I came across is to take an interest in and invest in relationships with people that you meet throughout your career,<\/strong> especially early in your journey during university and your first few jobs. Those people become your greatest lifelong friends, allies, and supporters. It\u2019s very easy when you\u2019re young and in a hurry to not appreciate those important connections. Making sure you stay in touch is very valuable.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/egyptian-cosmetics-company\/\">Egyptian Cosmetics Company<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/lydia-schoonderbeek\/\">Lydia Schoonderbeek<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/my-morning-routine\/\">MY MORNING ROUTINE<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"549793\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"calendar\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2022\/09\/29\/549793\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-549793\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-549793 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-calendar wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\t\t<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-primary-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-primary-background-color has-background is-style-wide\">\n\n\t\t<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading mt-0 has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-normal-font-size\" style=\"padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n\t\t\t<strong> CALENDAR<\/strong>\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><strong>OUR CALENDAR APPEARS in two sections: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Events with specific dates or months <\/strong>are right here up top<\/li>\n<li><strong>Events happening in a quarter or other range of time <\/strong>with no specific date \/ month appear at the bottom of the calendar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>SEPTEMBER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>September: Central Bank of Egypt\u2019s Innovation and Financial Technology Center to launch incubator for 50 fintech startups.<\/p>\n<p>September: Meeting of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mift.media\/posts\/pfbid034CjQppGScajHW83ktsmyHavSTQRys9Ezbp9KXCNfPg61XwgzSvHVYi7RfHWxsTESl\">Egyptian-German Joint Economic Committee<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>September: A delegation from Germany\u2019s Aldi will visit Egypt to look at potential investments.<\/p>\n<p>September: Government to launch an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/EgyptianCabinet\/posts\/pfbid0QKmVCxurac4PGgrxGiVR7LN5BgQi5aCPpHahEzKda36Q1obcfw1w2P3M7eVm4Tujl\">international promotional campaign<\/a> for Egyptian tourism.<\/p>\n<p>25-29 September (Sunday-Thursday) FranEgypt will hold its <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3eVy8NC\">first virtual expo<\/a> on franchises in the country.<\/p>\n<p>27-29 September (Tuesday-Thursday): <a href=\"https:\/\/invest-renewables.africa\/\">Africa Renewables Investment Summit<\/a> (ARIS), Cape Town, South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>27-29 September (Tuesday-Thursday): <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsbcscheduling.com\/eventweb.php?pid=PDFjNDU8MGUxPzFsMTU&src=enterpriseam\">HSBC Energy Transition Webinar<\/a> series.<\/p>\n<p>27-29 September (Tuesday-Thursday): The <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2022\/9\/C-S-Pre-Event-Press-Release-18Sept22-EN-FINAL.pdf\">14th edition of Creative Industry Summit<\/a>, Cairo Business Park, New Cairo.<\/p>\n<p>27 September-27 October (Tuesday-Thursday): The Egyptian Museum the Manial Palace Museum host a book fair.<\/p>\n<p>28-29 September (Wednesday-Thursday): The sixth edition of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.events.fintechrobos.com\/\">Arab Pensions and Social Ins.
