In the hurly burly of business (to say nothing of the nuttiness that is covid and the travel restrictions that have accompanied it), it is easy to forget to be grateful. Grateful that covid-19 genuinely seems to have spared Egypt the ravages it has brought to other countries. Grateful, as we approach the four-year anniversary of the float of the EGP, that we have a functioning market for foreign exchange. Grateful that remittances are holding up remarkably after the doomsday predictions of this past spring \u2014 and grateful that rolling electricity blackouts have gone the way of the black market for FX.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We have miles to go before we sleep<\/strong>, as Mr. Frost told us nearly 100 years ago, but it helps to keep things in context as you slog through that 2021 strategy presentation or the budget figures that back it.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\" \/>\n<p><strong>Global stocks surged yesterday after weeks of nervy trading:<\/strong> European shares had their best session since June, with the pan-European Euro Stoxx closing 2.2% higher and the German DAX finishing 3.2% in the green. Across the Atlantic, bank shares led the S&P 500 to gain 1.6% in it\u2019s best day of trading in two weeks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But El Erian is here to tell us not to get too excited:<\/strong> The recent volatility in the stock markets should serve as a reminder to investors that record valuations are not indicators of a global economy achieving escape velocity from its historic contraction earlier this year, Mohamed El Erian writes in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/8a563aa6-2304-4cac-9202-72cdc4fb87c7\">the Financial Times<\/a>. The stimulus high is wearing off, governments are reluctant to step in with new fiscal support, and the \u201cdeeply distorted\u201d nature of the markets makes it difficult to protect portfolios should another major sell-off occur.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Either way, markets look interesting with the US on track for the biggest 3Q IPO wave <\/strong><strong>since <\/strong><strong>the height of the dot-com <\/strong><strong>boom: <\/strong>Some 81 companies will have listed on US stock exchanges by the end of this month, raising around USD 28.5 bn and making 3Q2020 the biggest third quarter since 2000, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/ipo-market-is-headed-for-busiest-third-quarter-since-the-dotcom-years-and-theres-lots-more-to-come-2020-09-28?mod=home-page\">MarketWatch<\/a> writes, citing RenCap\u2019s CEO Bill Smith.

Masaa DMC\u2019s Eman El Hosary also covered the topic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aOCTBFt9RNI\">(watch, runtime: 0:56)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you buy a bank?<\/strong> Adib discussed the process by which banks are acquired, Naguib Sawiris suggested that Orascom Financial Holding could make a play for United Bank. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=C1u523x5ByQ\">(watch, runtime: 2:40)<\/a>. He spoke with Prime Holding\u2019s head of research Amr El Alfy, who ran through the relevant articles in the newly issued Banking Act. El Alfy said that any individual could own up to 10% of a bank provided the central bank agrees they\u2019re a fit owner. He added that there are no foreign ownership limits on banks, although any foreign entity taking a significant stake in an Egyptian bank needs to demonstrate experience in the industry <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pEVFt5cKixA\">(watch, runtime: 3:19)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>(Amr <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/3a0fbeaf-02b5-425d-9d08-dae65e138a1e\">used an Enterprise story<\/a> on the subject to illustrate his segment, which made us smile.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>New railway fees: <\/strong>Moussa spoke with Ashraf Raslan, the head of the Railways Authority, who discussed the 25% increase in fees for transporting goods, which will be calculated according to the weight of goods and distance travelled.

The Egyptian National Railway does not move a significant volume of freight, so the fee hike should not have a significant impact on businesses or prices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Construction restrictions relaxed:<\/strong> Cabinet Spokesman Nader Saad phoned in to Masaa DMC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=L8VVYGPkqtQ&t=214s\">(watch: runtime: 8:03)<\/a> and Ala Mas'ouleety <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bUIKqZ9P4dU\">(watch, runtime: 23:25)<\/a> to discuss the government\u2019s decision to lift some of the restrictions on construction permits. He said that the decision to stop construction for six months helped the government improve urban planning. Saad pointed out that, starting from today, citizens who have obtained a valid license will be allowed to finish construction provided the building is no more than four storeys high.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NGOs to help paying reconciliation fees:<\/strong> Salet Al-Tahrir\u2019s Azza Moustafa phoned Talaat Abdel Qawi, the head of the General Union of Non-Governmental Associations

href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2020-09-28\/egypt-set-for-green-bond-debut-on-tuesday-with-500-million-sale\">Bloomberg<\/a> reported yesterday. The USD 500 mn offering of five-year bills will take place depending on market conditions, the business information service says, citing a person familiar with the matter. This comes a day after the Finance Minister Mohamed Maait <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/b505cfe7-a498-4e16-bc89-e363af8363f0\">said<\/a> the ministry was \u201cpreparing to launch\u201d the offering, which would be the first sovereign green bond issuance in both Egypt and the region. Egypt currently has a USD 1.9 bn portfolio of green projects as it looks to capitalize on growing investor appetite for climate-friendly securities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FinMin confirms investment banks managing the offering:<\/strong> A Finance Ministry document picked up by <a href=\"https:\/\/ara.reutersmedia.net\/article\/businessNews\/idARAKBN26J1FX\">Reuters<\/a> said that Credit Agricole, HSBC, Citibank, and Deutsche Bank \u2014 who were tapped <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/2467b5f0-8a34-4f7f-8dc4-f6958c5d17d7\">earlier this year<\/a> to manage and market the offering \u2014 will organize calls with investors ahead of the sale.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The government is offering green bonds as part of its broader debt diversification strategy<\/strong>, which will also see it offer sukuk, eurobonds, and potentially zero-coupon bonds to capture a wider investor base. The strategy also entails a shift towards <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/01\/10\/finance-ministry-drafts-more-realistic-comprehensive-debt-strategy-raises-egypts-public-debt-targets\/\">longer-term borrowing<\/a>, in order to reduce our reliance on short-term debt instruments, plug fiscal deficits, and help reduce the annual debt servicing bill to 20% of GDP. The goal is for long-term debt to constitute some 52% of borrowing by June 2022.<\/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\/credit-agricole\/\">Credit Agricole<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/deutsche-bank\/\">Deutsche Bank<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/green-bonds\/\">green bonds<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/hsbc\/\">HSBC<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/speed-round\/\">SPEED ROUND<\/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=\"575002\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"575003\" 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=\"575003\">\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\">Enterprise explains<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2020\/09\/29\/enterprise-explains-pipes\/\">\r\n                            Enterprise Explains: PIPEs                        <\/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\/2020\/09\/29\/enterprise-explains-pipes\/\" 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();

PIPEs and SPACs are in many ways kindred spirits, and not just because both are obscure to those unfamiliar with the nitty-gritty of the financial markets: Each provides a (very different) shortcut for businesses wanting to raise money and investors eyeing faster returns. For this reason, both SPACs and PIPEs have turned out to be appealing options during these economically troubled times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So what\u2019s a PIPE?<\/strong> Standing for private investment in public equity, PIPEs do exactly that. Large institutional investors \u2014 think private equity groups, hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds, and other asset managers \u2014 acquire common or preferred stock in publicly-traded companies, not by purchasing listed shares but via a private placement. It\u2019s not just shares we\u2019re talking about here either. Equity-linked derivatives, such as options and convertible equity, can also be bought in a private placement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Businesses like them because they get quick, easy access to capital:<\/strong> Compared to secondary share offerings, there are fewer regulatory hoops businesses have to jump through before they can sell equity to private investors. This makes them cheaper and less time-intensive than more traditional avenues, allowing them to access capital typically within two to three weeks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This makes them particularly popular with smaller or distressed firms:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/scholarship.claremont.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=3318&context=cmc_theses#:~:text=Most%20notably%2C%20PIPEs%20are%20often,the%20market%20value%20of%20equity.&text=3%20The%20discount%20factors%20in,shares%20(Hogboom%2C%202004).\">Research (pdf)<\/a> has found that 90% of companies opting for private investment in equity have a sub-USD 1 bn market cap and a median book asset value of just USD 51 mn. Moreover, the majority of firms have junk-rated credit and operate at a loss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It wasn\u2019t hard to see the appeal of PIPEs earlier this year: <\/strong>Think back to March. Stock markets were in freefall, the credit markets froze and companies desperate for liquidity found themselves with few options. No sane company would sanction secondary share offerings amid historic declines in the global equity markets, and few investors were in the mood to gamble on risky corporate debt. That\u2019s when PIPEs become an attractive option for businesses in western markets. Unable to raise capital via bond issuance or share offerings and reliant on existing credit lines, some companies turned to private investment to access the funding they needed to see them through the crisis.
