Egypt and Sudan have both been busy in New York trying to gain the support of council members ahead of a vote on their draft resolution, which would put pressure on Ethiopia to stop filling the dam and re-enter negotiations. Both Egypt and Sudan said earlier this week that the vote would happen today, but there have also been suggestions that it could be postponed until next week.

will today trial a new system to calculate <\/strong><strong>closing share prices that is hoped to <\/strong><strong>improve accuracy, increase trading volumes and boost foreign investment in Egyptian shares. <\/strong>The bourse is considering introducing an auction system to determine closing prices, a method used by some of the world\u2019s biggest exchanges, and will today kick off a series of mock sessions between 3-4:30 pm CLT to test it out, <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2021\/7\/EGX-closing-price-7-7-21.jpg\">the exchange said in a bulletin<\/a> yesterday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attention, brokers:<\/strong> At least one representative from all licensed brokerage firms needs to be present at the trading floor during the trial sessions, which will also take place on Sunday and Monday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cWhat is a closing auction?\u201d we hear you ask. <\/strong>We spoke to EGX Chairman Mohamed Farid, who broke down how the new system could work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As things stand,<\/strong> <strong>the EGX uses the volume weighted average price (VWAP)<\/strong>, which uses all the trades that occur throughout a given session to determine a share\u2019s closing price. This is in contrast to using <strong>the last traded price<\/strong> of the day for the closing price, a method which has declined in popularity since its heyday in the 1990s but is still used by several exchanges.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This could change if the proposal that\u2019s currently being tested becomes a reality. <\/strong>Under the proposed system, closing prices will be based first and foremost on an auction that takes place before market close, Farid tells us. The results of the auction would then override the weighted average calculated from the latest session price.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And there\u2019s another new acronym you may have to learn: <\/strong>Under the proposed system, a 30-minute moving-volume weighted average (MVWAP) would be used should the auction fail to attract enough bids and generate a closing price, the EGX boss said. The MVWAP, unlike the VWAP, only takes into account trades that are completed during the final half hour of the session.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The proposal would also introduce a new function on the EGX known as \u201cpost-auction <\/strong><strong>trade at close.\u201d <\/strong>This would allow investors, after a closing price is determined, to buy and sell at that particular closing price for a few minutes before the end of the session.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the point of all this?<\/strong> The new system is best on international best practices and would improve accuracy of closing prices. But more important, it increases the probability of attracting portfolio investments from both foreign and local investors, Farid said. Equity investment funds \u2014 particularly those that are passive, tracker indexes, or are based abroad \u2014 prefer that exchanges allow post-auction trades, he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What happens next?<\/strong> The EGX will work on ensuring the stability of the system before rolling it out on the market, Farid said. More trial sessions will be conducted to ensure everything runs smoothly technologically, and brokers and market participants are made fully aware of the new system\u2019s functionalities, he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A change to the EGX circuit breaker is in the works: <\/strong>Shares could be allowed to rise and fall by 20% during a single session before trading is suspended, Farid said. Currently, shares are suspended for the rest of the day if they move within a <a href=\"https:\/\/egx.com.eg\/en\/trading_system.aspx\">+\/- 10%<\/a> price range. The final limit hasn\u2019t been decided by the EGX, he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exchanges the world over fiddle with closing price mechanisms<\/strong>, with running arguments over what is the \u2018best\u201d methodology. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chi-x.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Chi-X-Closing-Price-Information.pdf\">Page 6 of this pdf provides a nice, succinct overview<\/a> of last trade vs. closing auction vs. volume-weighted average, while real geeks will want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.banque-france.fr\/sites\/default\/files\/s-20_foley.pdf\">read this presentation (in English) from Banque de France (pdf)<\/a>.<\/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\/capital-markets\/\">capital markets<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\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\/equities\/\">equities<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/mohamed-farid\/\">Mohamed Farid<\/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=\"563586\" 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=\"563586\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">3<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">COVID WATCH<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2021\/07\/08\/clinics-to-receive-home-made-sinovac-within-two-weeks\/\">\r\n                            Clinics to receive home-made Sinovac within two weeks                        <\/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\/07\/08\/clinics-to-receive-home-made-sinovac-within-two-weeks\/\" 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();

As of 19 July, face masks will no longer be required and social distancing will become a thing of the past as the government insists that people must now live with covid like they do with the flu.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spain is reimposing restrictions after its case rate became the highest in Europe due to <\/strong><strong>the spread of Delta<\/strong>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/06334a7b-30cc-40bf-942b-e3bcd2efb305\">Financial Times<\/a> reports. The rate almost tripled from 58 cases per 100k on June 29 to 156 on Tuesday. As a result, Spain has reimposed curbs on nightlife less than a month after easing restrictions, amid calls for curfew.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The silver lining:<\/strong> The rise in cases in the UK and Spain have not yet resulted in spiking hospitalizations, such as what happened during the first two waves, suggesting that the vaccine rollout is having an impact.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vaccine nationalism blamed for spiking variants<\/strong>: Inequitable distribution of covid-19 vaccines are causing variants to spread especially in countries with low vaccination rates, WHO Director-General Tedros

<strong>Tunisia calls for action on GERD at the UN Security Council:<\/strong> Tunisia is pressing the UN Security Council to call for trilateral binding agreement over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/idUSKCN2ED2A7\">Reuters<\/a> reports, citing a draft resolution submitted by Tunisia to the 15-member council.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our first glimpse of the draft resolution text:<\/strong> It \u201ccalls upon the three countries to refrain from making any statements, or taking any action that may jeopardize the negotiation process, and urges Ethiopia to refrain from continuing to unilaterally fill the GERD reservoir.\u201d The resolution was also reportedly calling for resuming the AU-led negotiations to reach an agreement within six months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The UN secretary-general and the US have also warned against unilateral action<\/strong>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/c9005a74-e1c7-4895-9b2f-7ca7ec1f5cd6\">on Tuesday called<\/a> on the three countries to return to the negotiating table under the current African Union- led process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But Ethiopia says that the resolution would marginalize the AU:<\/strong> A senior Ethiopian diplomat told Reuters that the resolution would \u201ceffectively scuttle\u201d the AU-sponsored talks, and that the country is fighting against it. The upstream country \u201cdoes not believe the matter falls within the purview of the council,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This has been the key disagreement between the countries in recent months: <\/strong>Sudan and Egypt have lost faith in the AU as a mediator and both want new players to be brought in to mediate the process.

Speaking to us this week is Omar Khashaba, partner in Algebra Ventures Fund II (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/okhashaba\/?originalSubdomain=eg\">LinkedIn<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>I'm Omar Khashaba, newly-appointed partner in Algebra Ventures Fund II. <\/strong>I joined the firm as an associate in early 2018 when we had only four companies in our portfolio, and I was fortunate enough to work with people who gave me the space to take on ever increasing levels of responsibility. Before joining Algebra as an investor, I was an entrepreneur with a background in law. I co-founded peer-to-peer tutoring marketplace <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tutorama_me?lang=en\">Tutorama<\/a> and later held an executive role at digital pharmacy startup <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yodawy.com\/\">Yodawy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As an associate I worked alongside a partner and was responsible for activities in both the investment and portfolio management side of the business<\/strong>. My promotion to principal in 2020 effectively empowered me to run investments autonomously, to take companies to the investment committee and prepare the case independently. As a partner I\u2019ll be doing more of that along with continuing to sit on the boards of companies and work with founders. I think the key difference will be in that I\u2019ll have a seat on the investment committee and help make investment calls in the fund.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our USD 90 mn fund II is targeting a first close in 3Q2021 and it's going to continue focusing on Egypt <\/strong>but we have some allocations for sub-Saharan Africa. That's where we see a lot of growth happening. They\u2019ve proven to be great markets for portfolio companies to expand into and we\u2019re increasingly seeing companies in those markets looking to expand to Egypt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Series A is where we look to make the bulk of our investment.<\/strong> We have a number of sectors that we\u2019ve benchmarked based on our assessment of structurally similar EMs in southeast Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. Looking at those markets provides an interesting foray for things we end up seeing here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The pandemic took everyone by surprise but the impact it had varied.<\/strong> For some companies it's been the greatest accelerant they could've asked for. For others it's been painful. So our approach has been tailored to each company\u2019s specific needs. We provided some additional cash runway to those that bore the brunt of the pandemic so that they were able to respond adequately to this new world. Having said that, I think the pandemic has obviously been difficult to cope with for all of us both on a personal and professional level.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The ability to work remotely has by far been the best thing that came out of it.<\/strong> Working remotely might have been an interesting thought experiment before but people were sort of culturally conditioned to having to be co-located out of an office. Even before the pandemic hit I would often do important work that required intense focus at home, and that's just a preference for the kind of environment I personally thrive in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Having said that, I think work is a bundle and part of that is building relationships with your colleagues <\/strong>which is one of those things that has suffered over the past year. There are also other contexts in which you want a group of people in the same space, like brainstorming or having group discussions. <strong>The right balance would be mostly remote work with one or two days working from the office<\/strong>, which we\u2019ve experimented with at Algebra and has so far worked very well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For critics of WFH who think people aren't actually working from home, that means there was a problem there to begin with<\/strong>. If you, as a manager, need to be over your employees\u2019 shoulder to make sure they\u2019re working I would argue there are bigger problems that need to be dealt with. When you have great people around, you really don't need to be so concerned with the way in which they make decisions in a remote setting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I wake up between 5 and 6 am, drink some coffee and start reading.<\/strong> I tend to set personal learning objectives every six to 12 months where I engage with a diverse range of topics. These days I'm really into 20th century world history, so I'll spend about an hour in the morning going through some reading. After that, I go for a run. It sets up the day in a way that gives me energy and helps me think clearly. Running is absolutely essential for me. During that time I'm either listening to podcasts or audiobooks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019ll come back at 8:30 am, take a shower, grab another shot of coffee and spend some time with my wife<\/strong>. I'm fortunate to live in a building with my extended family so I\u2019ll also usually spend some time with my father and my brother too. At 9 am that's when I'll check my work email. I make a point to not check email before that, just so I can maintain a fresh mind. Between 9:15 to 9:45 I spend some time going through VC-related thought leadership and then at 9:45 I\u2019ll join our Algebra daily stand up call. Once that\u2019s done I'll get into my actual day. I make sure to audit my calendar and be very deliberate about scheduling. One of the hardest things about VCs is that you have to context switch all the time. So I like to schedule my calls in a cluster and schedule two hour chunks to work on a single task. I try to think about the outputs I need to provide and audit my calendar accordingly to help make sure I'm not falling into the business trap of being busy all day without getting anything done.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unless it's crunch time and we\u2019re getting ready to prepare for an IC, I try to wrap up my day at 8 pm.<\/strong> That's when I'll spend time with my wife, have dinner, watch Netflix and catch up on the day. I deleted the mail app from my phone and I generally set all the apps to no notifications. It's really hard to be present when you have constant pop-ups on your screen<\/p>\n<p><strong>As far as personal books go <\/strong>my recommendation would be the German classic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/406373.Faust\">Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe<\/a>. It's a book I initially read in high school that has had a profound impact on me. It speaks to an innate part of the human condition and the struggle to transcend the limitations that life imposes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In terms of VC or business-related book recommendations:<\/strong> I\u2019d have to pick <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/49099937-no-rules-rules?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=8AQSpZsua0&rank=1\">Reed Hastings\u2019 No Rules Rules<\/a>. It's a book about how you create the right culture in an organization. Netflix is a company that achieved an incredible feat, and much of that is due to very deliberate decisions about how to recruit and build culture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Another book I found incredibly helpful was <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/32816087-7-powers?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=Dh1TK33Q5l&rank=1\">Seven Powers by Hamilton Wright Helmer<\/a><\/strong>. It's mainly about business strategy but it takes a lot of mainstream thinking and strategy and boils it down to seven frameworks for developing a competitive advantage. You want to make sure you have the conceptual tools and the intellectual framework on hand to be able to identify companies that are likely to succeed in a repeatable manner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My role model in life has always been my mother, Dr. Hala Hamza,<\/strong> a pediatric cardiologist, who spent her entire life dedicated to the tens of thousands of children she helped and treated over the course of her career. She was someone who was unwavering in her commitment to doing the right thing no matter the consequences. I try to live by her example everyday, doing the right thing because it's the right thing, no matter the consequence.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID}
