retail portion of the offering to close more than 29x oversubscribed on Thursday, bookrunner CI Capital announced, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3fCOfy7\">Al Mal<\/a>. Retail investors placed bids for 525.6 mn shares by the close of play on Thursday, compared to the 17.9 mn on offer to them. The company, which is selling a 49% stake on the EGX at EGP 5.75 a share, has offered a 2.45% stake to retail investors with the rest being allocated to institutional players.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Appetite among institutional investors was also strong:<\/strong> The 340 mn-share private placement <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/5e5a1a2a-08df-4a8e-a3ce-f857a11f002a\">was 2.34x oversubscribed<\/a> when it closed last week. CI Capital Investment Bank CEO Hesham Gohar told us that the institutional tranche of the offering had \u201cgenerated very strong interest from quality investors from the GCC, Europe, South Africa and Egypt, among others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who\u2019s selling?<\/strong> The selling shareholder is an SPV named Sphinx Obelisk, which offered the shares in a secondary sale. CI Capital, which had <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/09\/23\/ci-capital-led-consortium-acquires-60-of-taaleem-for-egp-1-2-bn\/\">acquired a 60% stake in Taaleem<\/a> in 2019 from Thebes Education Management Holdings in an EGP 1.2 bn transaction, is thought to be among the shareholders selling down its stake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When do the shares go live?<\/strong> Taaleem shares will begin trading on the EGX on 7 April under the ticker TALM.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Good tidings for our long-dormant IPO pipeline?<\/strong> Leading cosmeceutical and neutraceutical player Macro Pharma <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/e7b185ef-8845-4573-9b36-31998bb84ee7\">will start trading on 19 April<\/a> as it wraps up its IPO, while consumer healthcare giant Integrated Diagnostics Holdings <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/f85ca305-e865-4879-8646-967b53e73296\">kicked off a roadshow<\/a> for its technical listing on the EGX last week. State-owned e-payments platform <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/61105818-f5d8-4b85-9804-34f34ed309cf\">e-Finance<\/a> and non-bank financial services player <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/eabded71-9b2e-492f-aef6-60aa567eb8e4\">Ebtikar<\/a> are also among the total of <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/da9fe7d5-87d0-47a8-862e-64973f50d038\">five or six<\/a> IPOs that EGX boss Mohamed Farid expects will hit the exchange this year.

The surplus <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/d15c184c-b6a0-4eda-afd1-3d0695707906\">is expected<\/a> to close the ongoing fiscal year at 0.6% of GDP, but the draft budget is penciling in a rebound to 1.5% in FY2021-2022, returning to levels frequently achieved before the pandemic hit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Egypt\u2019s real GDP growth rate of 3.6% in FY2019-2020 was the highest in the region,<\/strong> and well above the MENA average of -3.8%, according to data from the World Bank Macro and Poverty Outlooks cited in the report. Iran and Djibouti were the only two other countries to join Egypt and eke out positive growth. Looking ahead, Egypt\u2019s real output is forecast to expand by a slower 2.3% in FY2020-2021 and rebound to 4.5% in FY2021-2022.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Egypt\u2019s debt levels will continue trending down<\/strong> despite a temporary pause to the government\u2019s debt reduction strategy during the pandemic, as authorities sought to address the growing health and education spending needs, said the World Bank\u2019s practice manager for macroeconomics in MENA Kevin Carey during a virtual event to launch the report on Friday, <a href=\"https:\/\/english.ahram.org.eg\/NewsContent\/3\/12\/408361\/Business\/Economy\/Egypt%E2%80%99s-FY-will-help-put-elevated-debt-levels-on-d.aspx\">Ahram Online<\/a> reports. Favorable forecasts for the country\u2019s primary surplus will help achieve long-term debt targets and \u201cput the country\u2019s elevated debt levels on a downturn path,\u201d Carey said. The government\u2019s debt strategy, which was outlined <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/03\/10\/egypt-begins-implementing-debt-reduction-strategy\/\">a year before the pandemic hit<\/a>, seeks to bring down debt to 80% of GDP by 2022, primarily through moving toward longer-term borrowing. According to Finance Ministry figures, debt-to-GDP <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/6b494276-a8d3-4255-84e5-16b622eb9b4e\">stood at 86.1% at the end of the FY2019-2020<\/a>, but the World Bank put the ratio a notch higher at 87.5%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And Egypt is one of the MENA countries less vulnerable to a debt crisis. <\/strong>Many MENA countries entered the pandemic with already-high debt stocks, weak output growth, and weak governance especially when it comes to policy transparency. While some of that may apply to Egypt, the country was among only three others that grew during the peak of the pandemic\u2019s effect on the global economy. \u201cIncreasing economic output remains the most sustainable way to reduce debt,\u201d the bank says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But public spending is largely what\u2019s keeping us afloat: <\/strong>Purchasing managers\u2019 index data for Egypt has remained <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/8faed8bc-23ab-4b8c-b5c1-dcfdd52aa20b\">largely in contraction territory<\/a>, rising above the 50.0 mark that signals expansion in private sector activity only three times since it rebounded from a low in April 2020, the bank noted. The pandemic\u2019s impact on tourism and textiles exports were also cited in the report as key macroeconomic threats to Egypt and other MENA oil importers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Egypt and other MENA countries stand to reap the long-term benefits of ramping up vaccine rollout programs: <\/strong>The cost to benefit ratio of vaccinating 20% of a country\u2019s population estimated at 78:1, the report said, citing a recent research paper pinning the cost of purchasing vaccines for developing countries against the long-term benefits. Effective vaccination campaigns would both help overcome a country\u2019s immediate health needs and pave the way for a quicker recovery, as well as \u201creinforce the foundation of public health infrastructure,\u201d the report added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other takeaways from the report:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The regional post-pandemic rebound<\/strong> isn\u2019t likely to allow the MENA region to return to the higher levels of economic activity seen in 2019, and is considerably below the World Bank\u2019s pre-pandemic forecasts. Regional real output is set to grow 2.2% by the end of 2021 on the back of a rebound in oil prices, though the regional economy is estimated to have lost USD 227 bn due to covid-19.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Overall MENA public debt <\/strong>is expected to increase to 54% of GDP by the end of 2021, up from 46% in 2019.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fiscal spending <\/strong>will need to prioritize public health and social welfare while the pandemic is still ongoing, but taking on debt to fund fiscal spending could be costly to MENA economies in the long run.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Governance and debt transparency <\/strong>remains lacking in many countries, though it is key to effective fiscal spending and could help lower elevated borrowing costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\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\/covid-19\/\">covid-19<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/debt\/\">debt<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/development\/\">development<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/economy\/\">economy<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/world-bank\/\">World Bank<\/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=\"561326\" 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=\"561326\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Suez Canal<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2021\/04\/04\/adios\/\">\r\n                            Adi\u00f3s                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2021\/04\/04\/adios\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

An additional 24 ships that were not held up by the blockage passed through the canal yesterday as normal traffic resumed, according to the statement. About 361 vessels had passed through the Suez Canal as of Friday after <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/dadbd6d3-070d-4c92-a080-62ebf8ceced1\">traffic through the Canal resumed Monday evening<\/a> following successful efforts to dislodge the Ever Given, Rabie told El Hekaya\u2019s Amr Adib (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7k1hQU8o3iA\">watch, runtime: 1:29<\/a>). At least 80 ships sailed through the canal on Friday alone carrying 4.7 mn tonnes of cargo, the SCA said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SuezCanalAuthorityEG\/posts\/421281789512858\">in a statement<\/a>, including a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheCVN69\/status\/1378283874791350274\">US aircraft carrier group<\/a> as well as several oil and LNG tankers. A number of international shipping companies expect traffic to return to its normal rates in the two streams of the Canal this week, <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2Po4WCM\">Hapi Journal<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Europe\u2019s ports are likely to see a wave of incoming ships that had been delayed by the blockage<\/strong>, while those in Asia and on the US East coast expect a surge in mid-April, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/a7ceaab2-65b8-4a7d-a71f-e047371144bb\">Financial Times<\/a> reports. The scheduling conflict is putting more pressure on an industry already straining to keep up with an increased volume of ships since late 2020 due to a worldwide e-commerce boom amid the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Suez Canal Authority should prioritize upgrading the shipping route\u2019s technical infrastructure to avoid future disruptions, <\/strong>considering the ever-increasing size of commercial vessels, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/idUSKBN2BO67O\">Reuters<\/a> reports. In addition to acquiring up-to-date salvage equipment equipment, stricter guidelines on how ships transit the canal are needed, industry sources told Reuters, such as only permitting transit during daylight hours.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The SCA is set to receive two of the biggest tugboats in the region from The Netherlands<\/strong> \u2014 with one due to land next week and the other in August \u2014 as part of the authority\u2019s plans to develop the Suez Canal, Rabie told El Hekaya\u2019s Adib (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2dKZy0gxN-o\">watch, runtime: 13:38<\/a>).

They also requested that main shareholders face a cap on margin trading of their companies\u2019 stocks. The volume of margin transactions on the EGX is currently around EGP 5 bn, Azzam said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This comes a week after the FRA green-lit a <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/f05c21e8-cfa0-4ffa-a016-e59cca9ba55a\">new EGP 1 bn+ fund<\/a><\/strong><strong> that will be deployed<\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/971312e1-f894-440b-abff-245b2484f2eb\">to support margin lending<\/a><\/strong> in a bid to boost trading volumes on the bourse. The central bank-administered fund will channel liquidity to brokerages by providing financing at competitive rates. The regulator also last month <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/c677777d-8336-466e-a0d4-4b6343b426f7\">permitted non-bank lenders to finance margin lending<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s next?<\/strong> The Egyptian Exchange and Misr for Central Clearing, Depository and Registry should meet this week with the FRA's Advisory Committee to discuss the proposals, Azzam noted. Final proposals will then be submitted to the FRA's board this month.<\/p>\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\/egx\/\">EGX<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/financial-regulatory-authority\/\">Financial Regulatory Authority<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/islam-azzam\/\">Islam Azzam<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/margin-trading\/\">Margin Trading<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/regulation-watch\/\">regulation watch<\/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=\"561334\" 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=\"561334\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">9<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Real estate<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2021\/04\/04\/egypt-receives-2-9-mn-requests-to-settle-building-code-violations\/\">\r\n                            Egypt receives 2.9 mn requests to settle building code violations                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2021\/04\/04\/egypt-receives-2-9-mn-requests-to-settle-building-code-violations\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

new covid-19 infections yesterday<\/strong>, down from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/egypt.mohp\/posts\/349103106640308\">703 on<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/egypt.mohp\/posts\/349103106640308\">Friday<\/a> and up from 712 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/egypt.mohp\/posts\/348330443384241\">on Thursday<\/a>. The ministry also reported 39 new deaths, bringing the country\u2019s total death toll to 12,123. Egypt has now disclosed a total of 204,256 confirmed cases of covid-19.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Egypt has so far received nearly 1.6 mn doses of different types of vaccines since <\/strong><strong>December,<\/strong> Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly said on Thursday (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2s_61Ken834&ab_channel=TeNTV\">watch, runtime: 4:12<\/a>). Those include 680k Sinopharm vaccines and 904k of the Oxford \/ AstraZeneca jabs. <strong>Some 400k additional doses are expected to land within two days<\/strong>, Madbouly said without specifying the origin of the new doses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It also appears there won\u2019t be significant delays to shipments of AstraZeneca jabs coming in this month. <\/strong>Egypt is expected to get its hands on a total of 5 mn doses through the Gavi \/ Covax scheme by late April or early May, Health Ministry spokesperson Khaled Megahed told El Hekaya\u2019s Amr Adib over the weekend (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PfW2VANNOPo&ab_channel=%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D9%83%D8%A7%D9%8A%D8%A9\">watch, runtime: 1:33<\/a>). The first <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/71d6f4da-5532-481e-8b01-d60c79d39528\">854k-dose batch<\/a> of the vaccine already landed on Wednesday, but earlier reports <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/acc7d04e-ff3f-40fa-bc0a-5eec3216fdbf\">had suggested<\/a> further deliveries could be interrupted as the manufacturer is struggling to keep up with global demand. Egypt placed a 40 mn-shot order through Covax which it\u2019s expecting to receive throughout the year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Even more AstraZeneca on the way: <\/strong>Egypt was among 18 African countries that have purchased the 1 mn AstraZeneca doses South Africa said it\u2019s offloading last month after a study showing the jabs offered little protection against its local covid-19 variant, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-04-02\/s-africa-concludes-sale-of-astrazeneca-shots-to-african-union?sref=mmeFTDW1\">Bloomberg<\/a> reported, citing South African Health Minister Zweli Mkhize.
