Tag Eldin said the experience gained over past months and a better supply of ventilators and specialized hospitals makes Egypt better equipped to cope with a resurgence of the virus. He added that Egypt would receive \u201can appropriate share\u201d of covid-19 vaccines, whether from the UK, Russia, or China, and that the medicine would be made available at a nominal price for developing countries through the support of NGOs and the World Health Organization.<\/p><p><a class=\"content-anchor\" id=\"tldr-story-07\"><\/a> <strong>The potential for Egypt to become a hub for global vaccine-makers is getting ink <\/strong><strong>in <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/covid-19-vaccine-makers-see-egypt-as-crucial-launchpad-11603707672\">the Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/strong>, which highlights plans by Chinese, Russian and Western pharma companies to use the country as a base to distribute vaccines to the rest of the continent. Egypt is currently conducting trials for Chinese state-owned Sinopharm\u2019s vaccine, while Russia has signed an agreement with a private Egyptian company to distribute 25 mn doses of its Sputnik V vaccine. Egypt has also been in talks to import mns of doses of AstraZeneca\u2019s vaccine, which was shown to trigger an immune response in adults in recent tests, raising hopes for a potential vaccine by year\u2019s end, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2020\/10\/26\/oxford-astrazeneca-coronavirus-vaccine-reportedly-triggers-immune-response-among-adults-.html\">CNBC<\/a>.<\/p><p><strong>The Chinese vaccine is still months away from being ready, though, as the clinical trials <\/strong><strong>are still ongoing<\/strong>, Tag Eldin told Kelma Akhira\u2019s Lamees El Hadidi yesterday.

The company, Africa\u2019s largest high-speed internet provider, has raised USD 307 mn through a rights issue, which included an extra USD 40 mn from the UK government\u2019s development arm CDC Group. The company did not disclose how much of the funding would be earmarked for Egypt, but said it was part of a group of four countries that would receive investment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This comes almost two years after the company <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liquidtelecom.com\/about-us\/news\/Liquid_Telecom_to_invest_8bn_EGP_($400m_USD)_in_Egyptian_network_infrastructure_and_data_centres\">announced a three-year USD 400 mn investment plan<\/a><\/strong> to develop its data center infrastructure in Egypt. Working with state-owned landline monopoly Telecom Egypt, the company said it would spend USD 50 mn on data centers and cloud services before putting the remaining USD 350 mn into \u201cbroadband and financial inclusion initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Egypt is at the center of the company\u2019s plans to connect east and west Africa:<\/strong> The CEO of parent company Econet Global said in 2018 that it was looking to link Cairo to Senegalese capital Dakar via cables running through Sudan, Chad and Nigeria. The South Africa-based firm, which has laid more than 70k km of fiber cables across the continent, said it aimed to link the two capitals during Egypt\u2019s term heading the African Union, which finished in February this year.

Speaking ahead of what is expected to be the world\u2019s largest-ever IPO in China, Ant Financial\u2019s bn\u2019aire founder Jack Ma <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/66808017-59fd-49d1-9016-34684001c978\">took a shot at the Basel Accords<\/a>, describing them as an \u201cold people\u2019s club\u201d and an irrelevance for Chinese development. One of the cornerstones of the Western-created international financial system, the Basel rules have for more than 30 years laid down the law for how banks across the world are supposed to manage risk. But what exactly are the accords, and why do we need three of them?<\/p>\n<p><strong>To put it simply:<\/strong> Basel I, II, and III were designed to create an international regulatory framework to manage credit risk and market risk. They aim to ensure that financial institutions have enough capital on account to meet financial obligations and absorb unexpected losses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Basel I: Introducing international capital requirements.<\/strong> The product of over a decade of discussions at the Basel Committee on Bank Supervision, Basel I came into effect in 1988. A response to the interdependence of financial markets, it introduced new rules on how much capital international banks had to hold in their reserves to prevent insolvency and a systemic crisis in the global banking system. Basel I introduced a system of risk-weighting where assets were split into five risk categories: 0% for risk-free assets like cash and treasury bonds; 10% for central bank debt from countries with recently high inflation levels; 20% for loans to other banks or securities with the highest credit rating; 50% for residential mortgages; 100% for corporate debt. International banks were required to hold 8% of their risk-weighted assets as cash reserves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Basel II: Deregulation.<\/strong> Blamed by many for being on the major causes of the 2007\/08 financial crisis, Basel II removed one of the linchpins of Basel I: the external rating of risk. Unhappy with the new restrictions and helped by influential bodies like the International Institute for Finance, banks lobbied for self-regulation; that is, to decide for themselves how risky their assets were and thus how much cash they should hold in reserve. The implications of this policy change were made all too evident only a few years later, when it became clear in 2007 that banks had massively downplayed their levels of balance- and off-balance sheet risk, and had far too little capital in reserve.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Basel III: A corrective. <\/strong>Developed in response to the near-collapse of the global banking system, Basel III raised capital requirements and added new safeguards. These include new requirements to increase reserves during periods of credit expansion and relax them during periods of reduced lending.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So why is Jack Ma criticizing Basel?<\/strong> By focusing on risk control over development, the accords enforce a set of antiquated rules that do not apply to the Chinese model of development, Ma argues. Calling for an end to the dominance of \u2018To Big To Fail,\u2019 Ma wants to move towards a more decentralized system able to channel capital to different corners of the economy, and towards a data-driven means of rating credit. Instead of a system that prioritizes large corporates and state-owned organizations, Ma says this approach would improve SMEs\u2019 access to funding and accelerate financial inclusion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The basics:<\/strong> Investopedia has breakdowns of the accords <a
