class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><strong>Green bonds ran the show last night: <\/strong>Vice Minister of Finance Ahmed Kouchouk phoned in to Masaa DMC and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aZYb0uJnyEU\">(watch, runtime: 10:59)<\/a> Yahduth Fi Misr <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uci1UyjXoIg\">(watch, runtime: 4:35)<\/a> to discuss the country\u2019s maiden green bond issuance, which took place on Tuesday. Kouchouk said the offering sends a signal to local and international investors that Egypt is committed to financing sustainable and environmentally-friendly projects. Kouchouk stressed that 100 investors participated in the offering, including 17 who have not invested before in the Middle East. The USD 3.3 bn in bids received has allowed the ministry to allocate these funds to the most serious and long-term investors. The country\u2019s USD 1.9 bn portfolio of green projects includes renewable energy, waste management, sanitation, clean transportation projects as well as new cities and other projects designed to reduce pollution and emissions, he said.

jewelry:<\/strong> Each week, my Morning \/ WFH Routine looks each week at how a successful member of the community starts their day \u2014 and then throws in a couple of random business questions just for fun. Speaking to us this week is Jude Benhalim, the co-founder of her namesake jewelry brand, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.judebenhalim.com\/\">Jude Benhalim<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My name is Jude Benhalim and I\u2019m a jewelry designer and business owner.<\/strong> My title at the company is designer and marketing manager \u2014 but that only actually occupies around 20% of my time. The rest of my time is dedicated to managing the team, resolving problems that come up, working on product development and brand expansion \u2014 and inevitably getting sucked into every little bit of the business.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thankfully, I have my mom as my business partner and CEO to handle the operational management.<\/strong> Even with these titles, we both still find it almost impossible to stick to our job descriptions. It\u2019s a huge learning process for me and I love the challenges and finding ways to tackle them. It\u2019s very experimental and I guess that\u2019s what excites me most.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I wake up at 8 am everyday. Each day has to start with a cup of coffee in complete peace and quiet.<\/strong> I head to the office at 9am and am immediately set up in front of my screen, jumping on calls, and catching up on work. Throughout the day, my work really differs on a day-to-day basis, depending on the projects we have in the pipeline. Right now, we\u2019re preparing to launch a new collection, but when we\u2019re in the designing phase, I spend a large amount of time on research and working out problems with each department.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My work days generally end at 5pm.<\/strong> Granted, there are a lot of distractions \u2014 I sometimes unwind in the middle of the day with a quick episode of a favorite show (New Girl is my go-to) and while working from home, I also have to account for time that\u2019s lost to household needs like cooking. To be honest, I don\u2019t spend much time reading up on the news or on social media. I\u2019ve found it gets very overwhelming, so I\u2019ve deactivated my social media profiles. My husband still reads the news and reads Enterprise religiously in the mornings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On a personal level, I handled the shift to WFH pretty well.<\/strong> I like to work from home and actually manage to be quite productive. But I had to set up my environment to be conducive to that \u2014 I change into a comfortable yet work-appropriate outfit (pajamas are a no-go during work hours, even at home) and set up a space in my house dedicated to work. I do not recommend working out of your bed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It was very challenging to adapt to the change as a team, given that we are a small team of 10 people <\/strong>who are very reliant on each other and on face-to-face communication. I implemented a task-based system where each department is assigned a set of tasks at the start of every week, and we meet over Zoom on Thursdays to discuss the progress and what\u2019s been done. Obviously we also have a lot more smaller calls during the week just to discuss quick things. But this system was actually really helpful in getting things organized for us and I am still implementing parts of it now that we\u2019re back at the office. The shift also encouraged the team to communicate together through email, which made things so much more efficient.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This experience taught me that I tend to take things too seriously sometimes. <\/strong>I\u2019ve been taking time to actively slow down sometimes and reflect on things better. Professionally, I learned how to create a killer marketing campaign with a very small marketing budget \u2014 it seemed impossible but I\u2019m proud of what we\u2019ve been able to do. I also learned that my team was just too dependent on physical presence, but thankfully that has now changed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>During my time off, I like to watch TV shows<\/strong> \u2014 I watched a great series called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt8089592\/\">Little Fires Everywhere<\/a> and really recommend it. Recently, I\u2019ve been hooked on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1826940\/\">New Girl<\/a>. Hilarious. I also really recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/37570546-maybe-you-should-talk-to-someone\">Maybe You Should Talk to Someone<\/a>. I found it to be a beautiful read. Otherwise, I like to wind down with an interesting documentary if I have the energy for it and I like to do yoga when I have time.<\/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\/my-morning-routine\/\">MY MORNING ROUTINE<\/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=\"575101\" 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=\"575101\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">11<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">The Market Yesterday<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2020\/10\/01\/the-market-yesterday-180\/\">\r\n                            The Market Yesterday                        <\/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\/10\/01\/the-market-yesterday-180\/\" 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();
