finance community: <\/b>Lamees\u2019 second and final show of the week dove deep into President Abdelfattah El Sisi\u2019s suggestion last week that military-owned companies could trade on the EGX.<\/p>\n<p><b>Lamees on listing businesses owned by the military: <\/b>Al Kahera Alaan\u2019s Lamees El Hadidi commented on El Sisi\u2019s recent announcement that we may one day see shares in military-owned companies trading on the EGX as part of the state privatization program. El Hadidi said the companies would have to abide by new governance and regulatory standards to ensure transparency. Achieving this would remove some of the controversy that surrounds the military\u2019s engagement in the economy and bring it into the open, she said. There would also be strong investor demand for sectors in which the army is active \u2014 such as construction materials, mining, petroleum, and chemicals, El Hadidi suggested. We had <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/11\/03\/could-military-owned-companies-be-set-to-list-on-the-egx\/\">the full story<\/a> in Sunday\u2019s issue.<\/p>\n<p><b>Lamees phoned Hisham Tawfik, Mohamed Farid: <\/b>Public Enterprises Minister Hisham Tawfik told El Hadidi over the phone that proceeding with stake sales in military-owned companies will take some time to gauge their potential. EGX boss Mohamed Farid said in a separate call that daily turnover on the bourse has been stable in recent months and that the time is ripe for successful EGX debuts. El Hadidi suggested, though, said that at around EGP 800-900 mn daily, turnover remains too low, prompting Farid to counter that the market needs to list larger companies if it\u2019s going to raise volumes and attract more foreign investment. This is problematic, he admitted, as there are not many large companies left to list on the exchange.<\/p>\n<p><b>You can watch <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1amuSq6BZDc\"><b>the full segment here<\/b><\/a> (runtime: 26:18).<\/p>\n<p><b>Sherif Amer hosts Unilever CEO Alan Jope about \u2026 corporate governance, of all things: <\/b>Unilever\u2019s CEO Alan Jope spoke of a worldwide trend in corporate governance in an interview with Yahduth Fi Misr\u2019s Sherif Amer. \u201cThe thing that we see changing the most is moving from shareholder primacy to a multi stakeholder model,\u201d Jope said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RVGiYKBnAMg\">watch, runtime: 1:20<\/a>).

The finding provides a measure of context for Bloomberg\u2019s assertion last week that EGP-denominated bonds <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/10\/27\/egypts-bourse-egp-denominated-bonds-have-been-underperforming-for-weeks\/\">have been underperforming<\/a> since small-scale protests broke out in a few cities in September.<\/p>\n<p><b>Real interest rates remain appealing, spurring investor appetite:<\/b> The report points to the stability of the EGP and Egypt\u2019s real interest rate remaining higher than its emerging market peers as the key reasons for yields on EGP-denominated bonds at 38.4% in USD terms. With a real interest rate of 8.5%, investors are likely to continue piling into Egyptian treasuries unless the CBE pushes ahead with severe monetary easing. \u201cHaving said that, even in that scenario the real interest rate is likely to among the top quartile of emerging market economies even after assuming a slight pick-up in inflation from lower base going forward which in turn should keep investors interested,\u201d Emirates NBD says. The bank sees the CBE cutting rates by 400 bps over the next 12 months.<\/p>\n<p><b>Speaking of yields: Egypt\u2019s short-term government treasury yields are picking up for the fourth consecutive week<\/b>, after falling 200 bps after the CBE began cutting interest rates in August. <a href=\"https:\/\/almalnews.com\/%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%81%d8%a7%d8%a6%d8%af%d8%a9-%d8%aa%d9%88%d8%a7%d8%b5%d9%84-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%aa%d8%b1%d8%a7%d8%ac%d8%b9-%d8%b9%d9%84%d9%89-%d8%b3%d9%86%d8%af%d8%a7%d8%aa-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%ae%d8%b2%d8%a7\/\">A gauge used by Al Mal<\/a> to measure average yields showed that returns on interest on the 180-day bonds rose by 0.02% and rates on 273-bonds increased by 0.13%. On the other hand, interest rates on long term bonds fell for the second consecutive week by 0.09% for three-year papers, 0.014% on 7-year treasuries, and 0.6% on 364-day treasuries. This sustained trend confirms that the market is pricing in another rate cut when the CBE\u2019s Monetary Policy Committee next meets a week from Thursday.<\/p>\n<p><b>Foreign investors have increased their holdings of Egyptian treasury bills to 17.3%<\/b> at the end of August 2019, according to Emirates NBD, with many of them investing in short-term securities with a maturity no longer than 12 months. The government stepped up its issuance of short-term bonds, with their share increasing from 20% in June to 25% in August.<\/p>\n<p><b>Emirates NBD sees Egypt\u2019s economy growing at a 5.6% clip in 2019 before accelerating to 5.8% in 2020.<\/b> The forecasts place us at the top of the non-GCC oil importer pack in 2019, and second in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content

<\/b>Ongoing negotiations at the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/10\/28\/what-were-tracking-on-28-october-2019\/\">World Radiocommunications Conference<\/a> in Sharm El Sheikh are expected <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2019\/10\/28\/20936197\/5g-world-radiocommunication-conference-weather-forecasting-egypt\">to set regulations<\/a> that would ensure the deployment of 5G will not come at the cost of less effective weather forecasting. This year\u2019s meeting comes after meteorologists voiced concerns that the debut of 5G could interrupt weather satellites and cause havoc when predicting weather events. Because 5G networks use a frequency band close to the one used by weather satellites, the worry is that 5G will interfere with the signals picked up by satellites.<\/p>\n<p><b>Enter, the US, who would do anything to get ahead: <\/b>While scientists are proposing stricter limits on 5G interference the US has other ideas and has been auctioning off bands to mobile networks ahead of the 5G rollout.<\/p>\n<p><b>A video from the Wall Street Journal offers clues on why this is the case: <\/b>US telecom companies are being heavily backed by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which auctions off parts of the country\u2019s allotted radio spectrum to the private sector. The FCC competes with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, which auctions the other part to federal agencies that are big-time spectrum users, such as NASA and the DoD. As a result, US tech firms have limited access to spots along the spectrum, and are primarily using high band to deploy 5G services.
