Applicants will receive a text message with the time and date of the appointment for the first dose, and will receive a follow-up card to track their receipt of the second dose.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The administration of the vaccinations will begin in the first week of March<\/strong>, Zayed told Kelma Akhira\u2019s Lamees El Hadidi. The ministry will only inoculate as many people as it can ensure will have access to the second dose, meaning that the vaccination process for the wider population will take longer but will be efficient, Zayed said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=d_ul-VxrBOU\">watch, runtime: 5:06<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Egypt is waiting on some 8.6 mn doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine through <\/strong><strong>international vaccine alliance GAVI<\/strong> to arrive in the coming days, the minister said. This batch is part of a total of 40 mn doses expected before the end of the year. Egypt had signed on to receive a total of 100 mn doses from GAVI and individual companies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The ministry is planning to have vaccinated at least 35-40 mn citizens by the end of the <\/strong><strong>year<\/strong>, the minister told Lamees (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qi1-d8KOSeo\">watch, runtime: 1:03<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where will the jabs be given?<\/strong> Forty medical centers in all 27 governorates will be administering the vaccine, the minister said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The vaccine will be provided without charge to those who cannot afford it<\/strong>, or to those who lost their jobs during the pandemic, the minister said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/17z2rkvt\">Al Mal<\/a>. For those able to pay, the two doses will cost around EGP 200, Zayed said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6j29MzHInSM\">watch, runtime: 0:59<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Health Ministry <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2ZMu4Ey\">reported<\/a><\/strong><strong> 633 new covid-19 infections yesterday<\/strong>, up from 623 the day before. Egypt has now disclosed a total of 179,704 confirmed cases of covid-19.

cycle:<\/strong> The vaccination program being rolled out to elderly Egyptians and those with chronic illnesses (which we cover in Covid Watch, above) and the capsizing of a boat in Lake Mariut (which is leading coverage of Egypt in the News, below).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prosecutors are investigating the capsizing of the small boat in Lake Mariut, which has so far left nine people dead<\/strong> and five others under hospital care, Alexandria Governor Mohamed El Sherif told Ala Mas\u2019ouleety\u2019s Ahmed Moussa. The boat was not fit to be used and was likely carrying too many people, El Sherif said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ag00XxHf_DY&t=89s\">watch, runtime: 5:43<\/a>). Kelma Akhira\u2019s Lamees El Hadidi also got the details on the incident from El Sherif (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=06dKZJ5riLk\">watch, runtime: 4:08<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The talking heads are also still not done covering the Real Estate Registry Act amendments<\/strong> that have been causing a hubbub over the past couple of weeks. Real Estate Registry and Notarization head Gamal Yaqout reiterated that the \u201csignature validation\u201d is still a viable option to register real estate in a phone-in to Masaa DMC\u2019s Ramy Radwan (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vaF0GH7aYpo\">watch, runtime: 14:14<\/a>). The amendments set a tiered system for registry fees, based only on the size of the unit, former Real Estate Registry boss Sami Emam told Al Tase\u2019a\u2019s Youssef El Husseiny. Previous regulations also took into account the kind of building (villa, beachfront chalet, apartment building, etc), its location, and several other variables that created a complicated system, Emam said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=H6CRqNUMme0\">watch, runtime: 9:15<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also on the airwaves last night:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>US Secretary of State Antony Blinken\u2019s call with Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry<\/strong> yesterday highlights Egypt\u2019s importance to the US, even if we have diverging opinions sometimes (Lamees El Hadidi on Kelma Akhira | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TcVX7pfMG8c\">watch, runtime: 2:15<\/a>).

And with monetary policymakers hesitant to turn off the taps, the Fed could find itself in a lose-lose position: \u201clet the risk of financial instability rise and threaten the real economy or intervene further in the functioning of markets \u2026 and risk more distortions that undermine efficient financial and economic resource allocations,\u201d he writes.<\/p><p><strong>The answer?<\/strong> El Erian doesn\u2019t suggest reneging on fiscal stimulus efforts, but to find a way for the Fed to back off its injections of liquidity, currently running at USD 120 bn a month.

<strong>Will the Sovereign Fund of Egypt (SFE) be tapped for a pan-African infrastructure plan?<\/strong> The African Union (AU) is calling on state-run sovereign, pension and ins. funds from Egypt, South Africa, Morocco, Kenya, Angola, and Nigeria to invest up to 5% of their capital in a planned infrastructure fund that will finance the building of roads, power plants, and railways across the continent, Raila Odinga, the AU\u2019s high representative for infrastructure, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/idUSKBN2AJ0TG\">Reuters<\/a>. This comes as African authorities look for fresh sources of funding to <strong>plug an annual infrastructure financing deficit of USD 60-90 bn<\/strong> that has stunted development across the continent. Infrastructure has been a key obstacle to making use of the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/11\/19\/correctly-implementing-afcfta-could-unlock-usd-3-tn-worth-of-growth-across-the-continent-6552\/\">African Continental Freetrade Agreement<\/a> (AfCFTA), which <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/4ff10a9f-d828-46c9-aa13-fb68a0c1928f\">officially launched<\/a> earlier this year and brings together 24 countries in a pan-African freetrade bloc with a combined GDP of USD 3.4 tn, making it one of the largest in the world in terms of participating countries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Getting goods across the continent: <\/strong>The countries that comprise the bloc (including Egypt) <a href=\"https:\/\/au.int\/en\/pressreleases\/20210104\/african-business-council-applauds-start-trading-basis-afcfta\">began trading under<\/a> the terms of AfCFTA, which removes tariffs on most goods, with the start of 2021. But with Africa\u2019s infrastructure <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/07\/08\/afcftas-operational-phase-launched-at-au-summit\/\">mainly geared<\/a> to serve trade outside the continent, \u201cinfrastructure is urgent for the realization of the AfCFTA, otherwise it is just going to remain on paper,\u201d Odinga told Reuters. Several landlocked countries are disconnected from major ports and transcontinental highways have missing links, making intra-regional trade difficult. Intra-African trade stands at only 15%, compared with 70% and 50% in Europe and Asia, Odinga said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Turning to alternative sources of funding: <\/strong>The fund, which will be run by the newly established <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nepad.org\/\">African Union Development Agency<\/a>, is seeking to diversify funding sources by moving away from reliance on wealthy donor nations and international debt markets. With developed countries repurposing funds and large lender China scaling back on its involvement amid high debt levels to individual countries, \u201cAfrica is financially starved as far as the need for infrastructure development,\u201d Odinga said. The AU has already begun courting investors, and is working to set up the planned fund\u2019s legal and financial structure, according to Odinga.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is the <\/strong><strong>SFE<\/strong><strong> on board? <\/strong>Infrastructure and energy are among the SFE\u2019s key mandates, but the fund has so far focused on domestic projects, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/e0cf0fa3-ab69-4d53-abb1-ad0d6187e7fe\">EuroAfrica transmission link<\/a> to import electricity from Egypt, as well as the Sixth of October <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/69389ef0-2c14-49f6-a298-f7f048d99e82\">dry port<\/a>. As of late last year, the SFE had EGP 26 bn in assets under management, and a EGP 13 bn portfolio of owned assets, CEO Ayman Soliman told CNBC Arabia in <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/d9f7308b-f6f1-4b4f-85f5-5e7d3d7c936b\">December<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One signal the SFE may be interested: <\/strong>Planning and Economic Development and SFE chairperson Minister Hala El Said sat down with Eli Bay, Senegal\u2019s ambassador to Cairo, <a href=\"https:\/\/mped.gov.eg\/singlenews?id=226&lang=en\">last month<\/a> to look into partnering with the west African country\u2019s sovereign wealth fund as part of a larger pan-African cooperation plan we have yet to hear more on. We reached out to officials from the SFE, but they hadn\u2019t replied to our request for comment at dispatch time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Infrastructure development would present new potential for contractors across the continent<\/strong>, President of the <a href=\"https:\/\/afcca.net\/\">African Federation for Construction Contractors\u2019 Associations<\/a> Hassan Abd El Aziz told Enterprise, noting that many African countries are in need of road, rail, energy, water, and sanitation projects, though some Egyptian investors and exporters might shy away from trade with African countries that are politically unstable, said Abd El Aziz.<\/p>\n<p><strong>President Abdel Fattah El Sisi has been pushing for more business with Africa<\/strong>, launching an <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/01\/08\/egypt-drafting-framework-for-establishment-of-africa-investment-risk-insurance-fund\/\">investment risk insurance fund<\/a>, as well as a fund to invest in <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/12\/10\/egypt-signs-financing-cooperation-agreements-at-africa-2018-forum-as-el-sisi-vows-to-support-african-development\/\">Africa\u2019s information technology infrastructure<\/a>.
