favorite talk show host Lamees El Hadidi returning to our screens for the first of two episodes this week (the second of which airs tonight). <b>Among the highlights: <\/b>Egypt\u2019s regional gas hub ambitions, GERD talks in Washington between Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan, and the Aramco IPO.<\/p>\n<p><b>Egypt takes a leap toward its toward gas hub dream:<\/b> Shares in East Mediterranean Gas, which owns the Arish-Ashkelon pipeline running between Egypt and Israel, have been transferred to Israel\u2019s Delek Drilling, Texas-based Noble Energy and Egypt\u2019s East Gas Company. The story drove the conversation in the region yesterday and got a fair amount of coverage on our airwaves. We have chapter and verse in Speed Round, below.<\/p>\n<p><b>Al Kahera Alaan\u2019s El Hadidi was among those who picked up the story<\/b> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZlUKiVyr2c8\">watch, runtime: 7:26<\/a>). El Hadidi phoned former Oil Minister Osama Kamal, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZlUKiVyr2c8&feature=youtu.be&t=194\">who spoke of<\/a> the importance of the Israel agreement to Egypt\u2019s plan to emerge as the region\u2019s key energy hub.<\/p>\n<p><b>Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry taking off to Washington for talks with Ethiopia<\/b> and Sudan on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam gained some airtime on Hona Al Asema (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KJgMdyrAodw\">watch, runtime: 6:35<\/a>). We recap the story in What We\u2019re Tracking Today, above.<\/p>\n<p><b>Lamees took it a step further and got in touch with Hani Raslan,<\/b> head of the Sudan and Nile Basin research center at <b>Al Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies<\/b>, (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=apD2E3pxyb8&t=4s\">watch, runtime: 18:48<\/a>). Raslan pointed to the failure of the recent Russian-African summit in Sochi to produce a breakthrough in the deadlocked GERD negotiations and said the US is likely to steer the talks to a constructive outcome.<\/p>\n<p><b>Adib talks Turkey with Palestine\u2019s Dahlan: <\/b>El Hekaya\u2019s Amr Adib spoke to prominent Palestinian politician and Fatah politician Mohammad Dahlan about Turkish President Recep Tayyib Erdogan\u2019s destabilizing activities in the region. You can watch several parts of the interview <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ugs-_Bdt3Rw\">here<\/a> (runtime: 0:54), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AHEyrPMTDuw\">here<\/a> (runtime: 2:13), and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xRZmQZIgl3E\">here<\/a> (runtime: 1:52).<\/p>\n<p><b>Aramco IPO: <\/b>El Hekaya devoted a decent segment to a phone call with Saudi business leader Hussein Shobokshi for a comment on the imminent Aramco IPO, which officially got underway yesterday (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vMLw_yLC3oE\">watch, runtime: 8:27<\/a>).

The move brings us one (very significant) step closer to receiving natural gas from Israel\u2019s Tamar and Leviathan fields under a landmark agreement with Alaa Arafa\u2019s Dolphinus Holdings in 2018. A 39% share in the pipeline were transferred to the three companies, who have partnered in a venture known as EMED, according to a statement to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><b>About EMED:<\/b> The EMED joint venture has bought a 39% stake in the EMG pipeline for USD 520 mn. Egypt\u2019s East Gas holds a controlling 50% stake in the venture, while Delek and Noble both hold 25%.<\/p>\n<p><b>There are no remaining preconditions to be fulfilled for the purchase of the rights to operate the gas pipeline to be completed<\/b>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.globes.co.il\/en\/article-pipeline-deal-for-israeli-gas-exports-to-egypt-near-completion-1001305603\">said Delek<\/a>, and the transaction should be finalized within days. In October, <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/10\/03\/israel-to-boost-gas-supply-to-egypt-by-34-after-changes-to-landmark-agreement\/\">we reported that<\/a> EMED had already made 70% of the payment to acquire a controlling stake in EMG.<\/p>\n<p><b>When will Israeli gas start flowing?<\/b> The latest ETA for Israeli gas exports to reach the Egyptian market is early 2020, Delek and Noble have said. Some reports have suggested that the gas will start to flow as early as 1 January 2020.<\/p>\n<p><b>Egypt has avoided paying a fine in a USD 288 mn lawsuit brought by EMG at the International Chamber of Commerce<\/b>, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/alborsaanews.com\/2019\/11\/03\/1261519\">the local press<\/a>. The pipeline owner pulled out of the case after Delek, Noble and Egypt Gas took ownership.<\/p>\n<p><b>Egypt has worked hard to resolve arbitration cases throughout process,<\/b> with multiple cases being launched against the country for breaching supply agreements in the wake of the events of 2011. Egypt <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/06\/17\/egypt-to-pay-israel-usd-500-mn-settlement-to-end-seven-year-gas-dispute\/\">was forced to pay<\/a> a USD 500 mn settlement to Israel in June for cutting gas shipments in 2012. Thailand\u2019s PTT Energy Resources <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/05\/06\/thailands-ptt-energy-resources-files-usd-1-bn-lawsuit-against-govt-over-emg\/\">brought a USD 1 bn suit<\/a> against the Egyptian government in May, alleging that Egypt failed to meet gas deliveries after 2011 and caused EMG \u2014 in which it held a 25% stake \u2014 to fail to meet its contractual obligations to its customers.<\/p>\n<p><b>Capacity and regulatory issues also forced delays:<\/b> Trial gas shipments were originally supposed to begin in March, with commercial sales beginning by the end of June, but capacity restrictions of Israel\u2019s domestic pipeline network caused delays.

Big picture reasons for the proliferation of M&A include low interest rates \u2014 which allow for cheaper borrowing \u2014 rising stock prices, and economic growth that hasn\u2019t necessarily translated into earnings growth.
