Google has become the first company to mandate vaccines for employees returning to work in the office in a decision that will be applied to its 144k employees worldwide. Facebook followed suit, saying in its earnings release (more on that in this morning\u2019s Planet Finance, below) that its workers too will need to be fully jabbed before setting foot in its US offices. Google has delayed reopening its offices and extended its work-from-home policy until 18 October due to the resurgence of covid-19, while Facebook also plans for a 50% return in September before raising the office capacity to 100% in October.

In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalreserve.gov\/newsevents\/pressreleases\/monetary20210728a.htm\">a statement<\/a> following the meeting, the Fed expressed optimism that the US economic recovery remains on track despite fears over the spread of the delta variant, saying that economic indicators and employment are continuing to \u201cstrengthen.\u201d<\/p><p><strong>No rate hikes are in the cards:<\/strong> The Fed has said that it will not begin to tighten policy until it sees \u201csubstantial further progress\u201d on employment and inflation, but in the statement yesterday said that the economy has only \u201cmade progress toward these goals.\u201d At its last meeting, Powell said that the bank would likely raise rates earlier than expected in 2023.<\/p><p><strong>Though stimulus could soon be curtailed:<\/strong> Fed officials could decide to start tapering the bank\u2019s huge USD 120 bn-a-month bond buying programme in coming meetings, Powell said, without providing further information.<\/p><p><strong>How things go from here will in large part depend on what happens with inflation over the coming months:<\/strong> Inflation is already significantly higher than originally forecast by the Fed, which continues to maintain that price rises will be short-lived and being caused by supply issues related to the pandemic. Inflation rose at its quickest pace in 13 years last month and if this continues policymakers will come under increasing pressure to start turning off the liquidity taps earlier than expected.<\/p><p><strong>The meeting was the biggest story in the global business press last night:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-07-28\/fed-says-progress-made-toward-conditions-for-tapering-bond-buys?srnd=premium&amp;sref=mmeFTDW1\">Bloomberg<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/6b5992d3-967e-4a63-b159-a398654d6199\">FT<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/fed-says-economy-has-made-progress-toward-its-goals-teeing-up-bond-taper-11627495233?mod=hp_lead_pos1\">WSJ<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/07\/28\/fed-decision-july-2021.html\">CNBC<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/finance\/blip-or-bad-moon-rising-fed-meets-amid-covid-19-surge-inflation-jitters-2021-07-28\/\">Reuters<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/business-health-coronavirus-pandemic-economy-0e6d48d9045930fbf230170f979dc704\">AP<\/a>.<\/p><p><strong>GLOBAL EARNINGS WATCH- Facebook shares fell as much as 5% yesterday<\/strong> after the company warned that revenue growth is likely to take a \u201csignificant\u201d hit in the coming months.

Some 88% of consumers surveyed said they had high confidence in e-payments, with those who indicated their trust in the technology citing reasons like its ease of use, convenience and speed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gone are the days of fumbling for change? <\/strong>The study tracked an 85% decrease in cash on delivery payments compared with their pre-covid levels, with as much as 74% of people surveyed saying they would rely on digital payments in the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New challenges with digital payments: <\/strong>About 40% of surveyed consumers said that they feared fraudulent activity taking place in the event of a lost contactless card, 25% of whom reported having fallen victim to phishing scams, having unintentionally purchased counterfeit goods or failing to receive something they\u2019d already paid for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It comes down to consumer awareness: <\/strong>Some 25% of respondents are skeptical of the technology altogether because of insufficient information on how to use digital payments. But a whopping 90% said they\u2019d be on board if they understood how the technology worked.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mastercard <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/0012118e-9059-4572-a128-4d1d10c329b1\">earlier this year<\/a><\/strong><strong> released its own survey<\/strong> of consumer spending habits which found that 94% of its 1k respondents are considering using new methods of payment such as cryptocurrency, biometrics, digital wallets, money transfers, contactless payments, and QR codes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But we\u2019re still a long way out from abolishing bills: <\/strong>As of <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/8ff882fd-cd11-4ad1-9bd8-c9dc0f4ee0f1\">March of this year<\/a>, only 45% of payments in Egypt were cashless transactions, and the credit card penetration rate stood at a measly 3%, according to a Merchant Machine report, making us the second most banknote-reliant country in the world. When it comes to financial inclusion, we hold the third lowest rate, with at least 67% of the Egyptian population still unbanked.<\/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\/fintech\/\">Fintech<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/visa\/\">Visa<\/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=\"563948\" 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=\"563948\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">5<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">M&amp;A WATCH<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2021\/07\/29\/compass-raises-rameda-stake-to-15-4\/\">\r\n                            Compass raises Rameda stake to 15.4%                        <\/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\/29\/compass-raises-rameda-stake-to-15-4\/\" 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();

Egypt has now disclosed a total of 284,128 confirmed cases of covid-19. The ministry also reported nine new deaths, bringing the country\u2019s total death toll to 16,507.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Third dose of Pfizer vaccine boosts protection against delta<\/strong>: Pfizer said that people may need a third shot within six to 12 months after their second dose to boost protection against the delta variant. \"A third dose, a booster, will take up the immune response to levels that will be enough to protect against the delta variant,\u201d said CEO Albert Bourla, based on new <a href=\"https:\/\/s21.q4cdn.com\/317678438\/files\/doc_financials\/2021\/q2\/Q2-2021-Earnings-Charts-FINAL.pdf\">data (pdf)<\/a> released by the company yesterday. The data, which included tests of 23 people, is yet to be peer-reviewed or published. Pfizer plans to submit research findings to US regulators about the effectiveness of a third Covid vaccine dose by mid-August.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pfizer\u2019s efficacy also drops over time: <\/strong>The vaccine\u2019s efficacy is 96% between the first week and two months after the second dose, then drops to 90% from two to four months and 84% from four up to six months, according to separate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medrxiv.org\/content\/10.1101\/2021.07.28.21261159v1\">data<\/a> released.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Receiving two doses of AstraZeneca\u2019s covid-19 vaccine doesn\u2019t raise the risks of<\/strong> <strong>developing a rare blood clot<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelancet.com\/journals\/lancet\/article\/PIIS0140-6736(21)01693-7\/fulltext\">data published<\/a> in the Lancet medical journal found, suggesting that people shouldn\u2019t hesitate to get a second jab if they had no issues after the first. The estimated rate of clotting, medically known as thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), was 2.3 per mn in people who received a second shot, which is in line with what rates seen in an unvaccinated population. However, the incidence after a single dose was found to be higher, at 8.1 per mn people. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-07-28\/astra-shot-brings-no-increased-blood-clot-risk-after-two-doses?srnd=premium-middle-east&sref=mmeFTDW1\">Bloomberg<\/a> has the story.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The number of deaths caused by covid-19 around the world have jumped by 21% in the past week <\/strong>following an 8% increase in the number of new cases reported during 19-25 July from the week before, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/publications\/m\/item\/weekly-epidemiological-update-on-covid-19---27-july-2021\">the World Health Organization<\/a>.

Chinese shares, which make up a third of the index\u2019s weighting, sold off this week after rumors that US funds were exiting China and Hong Kong assets surfaced. Investors are also skittish over the Chinese government\u2019s increasingly confrontational approach to business, which in recent months has seen it crack down on the country\u2019s largest tech companies and effectively shutter its domestic crypto industry.<\/p><p><strong>Wall Street is anticipating volatility in Robinhood stock ahead of its IPO this week<\/strong>: Retail brokerage app, Robinhood, is expected to see heightened trading volatility this week after the company announced that it will be offering a larger-than-usual 35% of its 55 mn shares to retail investors in its Nasdaq IPO this Thursday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/ee755c02-dd09-4041-8b14-efad30a662a6\">the Financial Times<\/a> reports. Some investors appear to be cautious of the listing\u2019s break from the 10-20% retail allotment norm, with some interpreting the decision as a signal of weak interest from institutional investors, and others pointing out that the potential for higher volatility with heavy retail involvement.<\/p><p>The company is seeking a USD 35 bn valuation and is targeting a price between USD 38 - USD 42 for its shares.<\/p><p><strong>Twitter renews interest in online shopping: <\/strong>Twitter will start testing a new shopping feature, dubbed \u201cShop Module,\u201d which will allow a limited number of retailers to promote up to five products at the top of their company profiles on Twitter.

Speaking to us this week is Hany Fekry (<a href=\"https:\/\/eg.linkedin.com\/in\/hfekry\">LinkedIn<\/a>), regional president and managing director for Network International Egypt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Edited excerpts from our conversation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>My name is Hany Fekry, I\u2019m the regional president and managing director for Network International Egypt. <\/strong>I\u2019ve been with Network since 2006 and before that I worked at several multinational corporations including Allianz and Al Ahram Beverages Company. Right now I'm responsible for business development in north and sub-Saharan Africa for the company.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Network International is a digital payments processing business with a presence in over 50 countries<\/strong>. We provide all forms of payment processing for companies except cash. This includes everything from e-commerce to POS, credit card processing and digital wallets. In places like Dubai and Jordan, we\u2019re also acquirers and in South Africa we have a major consumer finance business. In Egypt we manage a considerable portion<sup><\/sup> of the POS networks and ATMs for banks, where we also process the majority of debit, credit and prepaid cards. Our payment processing business is effectively a security business. We make sure that when customers pay using their credit cards online or in person that those transactions remain safe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As regional president of the company I'm in charge of driving business in north and sub-Saharan Africa<\/strong>. This means my responsibilities include keeping the business growing every year and dominating the payments space across the region. Our goal is to maintain the number position as a payments provider in the region.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Egypt and Nigeria are two of the fastest growing economies for digital payments globally. <\/strong>I think Egypt is now a role model for the rest of Africa. Everyone is paying attention to what's happening here. The number of new fintech startups and digital banks popping up is very promising.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Work really accelerated for us during the pandemic.<\/strong> The high number of online payments companies and e-commerce traffic skyrocketed and we\u2019re really happy to be seeing things take off in this direction. It ended up growing the processing and payments industry to three to four times its pre-covid size.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A lot of new businesses entered the market over the past year in response to new consumer behavior<\/strong>. From a business perspective we had the right data centers and internal infrastructure to be able to absorb these changes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We\u2019re now offering a min USD 1 mn waiver of our fees to startups<\/strong> and the chance to walk away from any contract within the first two years of signing without any penalty. We\u2019re doing this to help support budding entrepreneurs make decisions without worrying about being tied to large commitments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We\u2019re looking to build confidence<\/strong>. Our goal is to educate the market about digital payments and fintech. We try to support up and coming companies because If there is any mistrust developed by problems associated with e-payments, we all have a lot to lose. So we\u2019re trying really hard to help these businesses over the next five to six years until the market reaches a point of maturity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Internally, when covid broke out we were 100% prepared.<\/strong> As a company that's lived through the 2011 revolution and the nationwide curfews that followed we started our own WFH experiments about a decade ago. The infrastructure has been there ever since. Maintaining this infrastructure is very expensive but we keep it in place because I believe it's important to stay prepared. We had no requirement for any of our 439 employees in Cairo to be at the office as of March of 2020. We\u2019ve since resumed going back to the office gradually and earlier this month brought up our capacity to 70% in-person work. We\u2019re also working on recruiting about 70 new employees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I think there's some value to being in an office space<\/strong>. For one, employees aren\u2019t stuck between the four walls of their home. I think communication between employees is faster and it gives people more confidence while they are working. Psychologically and socially I think that physical interaction is very beneficial..<\/p>\n<p><strong>I sleep at 10 pm and wake up at around 6 am every day<\/strong>. I spend the first 30 minutes of my day drinking coffee and meditating. From 6:30 - 7:30 am I do Crossfit or go for a run. I'm usually in the office at 9 am and spend the first 30 minutes of my day going through the news and reading the morning edition of Enterprise down to the T. It's the most important source of information for me every morning. I have three slots per day for email, each one about 45 minutes long. In between emails I'm usually on conference calls or in meetings. I take three 15 minute breaks a day after every email slot, where I grab some coffee and strike up a conversation with someone at the office. I try as hard as I can to end my day by 6 pm. Once I'm home I spend time with my wife and kids. We usually cook dinner together or watch a movie with some popcorn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I try to maintain this routine because three weeks out of every month I'm on business trips.<\/strong> My travels came to a halt for a six-month period between March and November, which was the first time in 22 years I got to spend a full six months in Cairo without leaving the country. But things have since returned to their usual schedule, however.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My weekends are always spent here, no matter where I am.<\/strong> Even if I'm on a two-week trip to Lagos, I'll fly back to Egypt at the weekend to see my family before resuming the rest of my trip. It's very important for me to see them as much as I can. Weekends are usually spent somewhere by the Red Sea between El Gouna and Ras Sudr.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I read just about anything I can get my hands on<\/strong>. One of the best books for anyone who\u2019s interested in startups is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/6431063-how-the-mighty-fall?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=6hq0w30h4x&rank=1\">How the Mighty Fall<\/a> by Jim Collins. It talks about how large companies, after growing past a certain point, are susceptible to failure. I think it's important to pay some attention to preserving your company once you\u2019ve gotten it off the ground. I also highly recommend reading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/4865.How_to_Win_Friends_and_Influence_People\">How to Win Friends and Influence People<\/a> by Dale Carnegie, which I pick up at least once a year. It's essential reading for anyone who\u2019s really looking to improve their interactions with other people. In terms of fiction I read a lot of Youssef El Guindy, Hisham El Kheshen and Essam Youssef\u2019s work, among many others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I listen to a lot of podcasts when I\u2019m on a plane<\/strong>, I really enjoy Enterprise\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/podcast\/\">Making It<\/a> and Wondery\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/wondery.com\/shows\/business-wars\/\">Business Wars<\/a>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/podcasts\">Harvard Business Review<\/a> also has some good shows.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My first manager, Hakam Marwan Kanafani, once told me<\/strong> \u201cyou need to spend 60% of your time on a single endeavour and 40% of your time on networking,\u201d which is invaluable advice for achieving success.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!--
