continued to get attention for the second consecutive day, alongside an analysis of the ongoing Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) negotiations in Washington.<\/p>\n<p><b>GERD negotiations: <\/b>The Trump administration is \u201cespecially keen\u201d on steering the stalled talks toward a constructive outcome, Asharq Al Awsat\u2019s Heba El Koudsy told Masaa DMC\u2019s Ramy Radwan in a video call (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rCZHi55zIVg\">watch, runtime: 11:26<\/a>). Proposals on the table include World Bank-funded development projects to improve water efficiency in the Nile Basin, sources from the US Treasury Department told the Washington bureau chief of the London-based newspaper. El Kousy also said US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin laid out a few proposals for a timeline of filling GERD\u2019s reservoirs and Ethiopia\u2019s storage capacity, notable issues of contention between the two countries.<\/p>\n<p><b>Yahduth Fi Misr\u2019s Sherif Amer, meanwhile, sought out Moustafa El Feki, <\/b>a veteran politician and the current director of Bibliotheca Alexandrina (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=u2_f-mu6oAY\">watch, runtime: 4:04<\/a>). El Feki gave his two cents on the relationship between President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and Donald Trump, and said the talks must be kept under wraps and conducted \u201cbehind closed doors\u201d with little to no publicity in order to reach an agreement.<\/p>\n<p><b>The government has enrolled 273k families in social safety programs this year, <\/b>Abu Bakr quoted Deputy Social Solidarity Minister Nevine El Kabbag as saying (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=E-h2h0ZQl10\">watch, runtime: 20:10<\/a>). This brought the total number of beneficiaries of the Takaful and Karama cash subsidy programs to 2.4 mn families, up from less than 2.2 mn in 2018.

The economists cited the surprising drop in inflation figures in September, a trend they expect to continue through December thanks to a favorable base effect. \u201cWe think the ongoing deceleration in inflation will support the current pro-easing trend. We expect a 100 bps cut in the upcoming MPC meeting,\u201d said Shuaa Securities Esraa Ahmed. Pharos, Prime, Beltone and HC are all forecasting a 50-100 bps cut, while Renaissance Capital sees the central bank holding.<\/p>\n<p><b>The CBE cut rates by 100 bps <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/09\/29\/central-bank-of-egypt-cuts-rates-by-100-bps-in-line-with-expectations-2\/\"><b>in September<\/b><\/a>, bringing the overnight deposit rate to 13.25% and the lending rate 14.25%. The main operation and deposit rates were both cut to 13.75%. The central bank has cut rates by 350 bps so far this year, with 250 bps coming in the past two meetings.<\/p>\n<p><b>Inflation to fall again in October:<\/b> All analysts we surveyed see inflation continuing to fall in October, albeit at a more moderate pace than over the previous quarter that saw the urban rate plunge to <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/10\/13\/egypts-annual-headline-inflation-falls-again-in-september-clearing-the-way-for-more-cuts\/\">4.8%<\/a> in September from 8.7% in July. Prime Holding Senior Economist Mona Bdeir expects urban inflation to ease further in October to range between 2.6-3.0%, Pharos\u2019 head of research Radwa El Swaify forecasts it to fall to 3.5%, Shuaa\u2019s Ahmed sees 3% inflation. Monette Doss, macroeconomist at HC, expects inflation to average 4.6% during the final quarter, remaining well below the CBE\u2019s target range of 9% (\u00b1 3%). <b>Inflation figures for October are due out Sunday, 10 November.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>This supports a third consecutive rate cut next week:<\/b> \u201cA weak inflation reading is still supportive of further rate cuts in the next MPC meeting, with an expected 100 bps cut as the anticipated drop in October inflation figures are coupled with a third Fed rate cut at its last meeting,\u201d Bdeir said. HC\u2019s Doss said that recent inflation data will give the CBE space to make another half-point cut this month.<\/p>\n<p><b>Fed easing gives extra encouragement:<\/b> Pharos\u2019 El Swaify told us that the Federal Reserve\u2019s decision last week to cut rates by another 25 bps will give additional incentive to the CBE to continue easing.<\/p>\n<p><b>Renaissance Capital\u2019s Ahmed Hafez thinks it is more likely that the CBE will keep rates on hold<\/b> next week: \u201cWe see no change in policy rates in the upcoming meeting, while there is a room for a cut, which would be a positive surprise,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Egypt\u2019s carry trade remains attractive in comparison to other emerging markets:<\/b> Egypt is still providing one of the most attractive yields, with real interest rates still competitive and above peers in emerging markets \u2014 especially after Turkey last month slashed rates by 250 bps.<\/p>\n<p><b>The months ahead: <\/b>Bdeir expects the overnight deposit rates to end the year at 12.25%. while she predicts inflation to pick up due to faded base effect, it would remain within the CBE target of 9% +\/ -3% until the end of 2020.Beltone\u2019s Alia Mamdouh sees the CBE cutting rates by another 300 bps through 2020.<\/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\/central-bank-of-egypt\/\">Central Bank of Egypt<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/economy\/\">economy<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/inflation\/\">inflation<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/interest-rates\/\">interest rates<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/monetary-policy\/\">monetary policy<\/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=\"592845\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"592846\" 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=\"592846\">\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\">EGYPT IN THE NEWS<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/11\/07\/comparing-egypt-and-lebanons-reliance-on-their-central-banks\/\">\r\n                            Comparing Egypt and Lebanon\u2019s reliance on their central banks                        <\/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\/2019\/11\/07\/comparing-egypt-and-lebanons-reliance-on-their-central-banks\/\" 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();

Speaking to us this week is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/wael-ziada-6753b0a\/\">Wael Ziada<\/a>, founder and managing partner of Zilla Capital, an Egypt-based activist investing firm.<\/p>\n<p><b>I\u2019m Wael Ziada, and I\u2019m the founder and managing partner of Zilla Capital,<\/b> an activist investing firm. I\u2019m 43 and I\u2019ve worked in finance for almost my entire career. Prior to founding Zilla Capital, I worked as the executive chairman of EFG Hermes Finance, the non-banking financial platform of the group and its current engine of growth.<\/p>\n<p><b>My work is consuming and always full of interesting challenges.<\/b> As Zilla\u2019s managing partner, I spend my day looking for new investments or finding ways to make existing ones better. This involves digging into the needs of the companies we\u2019re invested in and working to restructure them so they operate more effectively. When my week begins, I might have a general idea of how it will unfold, but that can always change. Every week is different from the last.<\/p>\n<p><b>My whole morning routine is centered around coffee.<\/b> It\u2019s what I drink when I wake up, before checking my email. Then I\u2019ll have another cup before getting some exercise. Afterwards I check Enterprise and a few other news websites \u2014 and have yet another cup of coffee. Then, before I know it, I\u2019m running late, so getting myself over to the office happens very quickly.<\/p>\n<p><b>Knowing that my job is not routine is what gets me up in the morning.<\/b> I\u2019m constantly meeting people, discussing ideas, implementation plans or new investments, and I thrive on all this activity. I do try to set aside some time in the middle of the day to have lunch and catch up with the news.<\/p>\n<p><b>I love the TV show <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0108778\/\"><b>Friends<\/b><\/a><b> and can watch it again and again without getting bored. <\/b>I also recently enjoyed reading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Sapiens-A-Brief-History-Humankind\/product-reviews\/0062316095\">Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari<\/a>. The book is a vast sweep of human history within the framework of evolutionary biology, looking at how humankind has evolved from the Stone Age right the way up to the 21st century. Harari traces our development and poses huge and complex questions about where we\u2019ve come from and where we\u2019re going.<\/p>\n<p><b>I founded Zilla because I\u2019ve always had a passion for doing things differently<\/b> <b>and moving into areas outside my comfort zone.<\/b> I love looking at new ideas and being part of an organization\u2019s success. Throughout my career, I\u2019ve always had a passion for private equity, but I also used to feel there were ways where it could delve deeper into the structural issues that stop companies from operating as well as they can. A few years ago, I became particularly interested in the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Argentine_debt_restructuring\">Argentine debt crisis<\/a> and restructuring. <b>I ended up reading a lot about the <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elliottmgmt.com\/about-elliott\/\"><b>Elliott Management Group<\/b><\/a>, an investment management firm that\u2019s also one of the world\u2019s largest activist funds. I saw that the best way for me to combine my interests was to start my own investment entity, raising funds to invest selectively in areas where we could add value, to bring about a turnaround in the organizations we invested in. So I phoned up some other executives and told them that moving into activist investment was what we should be doing.<\/p>\n<p><b>Activist investment is fundamentally different from all other forms of investment. <\/b>Normally,investors seek out high-performing companies that are able to yield high returns as quickly as possible. We, on the other hand, are actively looking for companies where we as a group can add value through restructuring. Many of the companies we invest in have great brands and considerable potential, but they are trading below where they should be. It might be that they\u2019re providing a really valuable product or service, but their finances need restructuring or they don\u2019t have operational experts.<\/p>\n<p><b>Even very prominent, successful companies can find themselves in unsustainable situations.<\/b> You could have a great management team, but without the corporate governance needed for financial sustainability, your company could turn from a prince into a frog.<\/p>\n<p><b>That\u2019s where we come in.<\/b> We don\u2019t jump in wanting to change the purpose or ethos of a company. We\u2019re looking for areas where we can improve the company\u2019s profitability, to give it a more financially lean structure so it can operate in a more sustainable way. It\u2019s important to us to go into companies where our roles and input will be welcome \u2014 because after all, we\u2019re trying to make the business better and more efficient.<\/p>\n<p><b>Some companies need to be completely restructured, but with others the changes will be much lighter.<\/b> The most dramatic restructuring will involve a complete overhaul of the company at the financial and operational levels \u2014 including management and staff. This obviously involves significant changes. At the other end of the spectrum, the lightest restructuring could involve creating an investor relations department, if the company is doing everything right but doesn\u2019t know how to address the public or its investors. Or it might involve some restructuring of company debt. Then in between those two extremes, you have everything else.<\/p>\n<p><b>We have to be very careful about how we allocate our time to these investments.<\/b> We really work hard with companies to get them on track, but of course this can sometimes take up a vast amount of energy and time. I know now that I would never invest USD 1 bn in a company that was going to take up 50% of my time, no matter how much money I stood to make on the investment.<\/p>\n<p><b>Expansion is on the horizon. <\/b>Currently, Zilla has 3-4 mandates, with an investment of roughly EGP 500 mn, and this is keeping the team very busy. We will soon be significantly expanding our operations: I expect us to be handling an investment of EGP 1 bn and working with six new companies in the very near future.<\/p>\n<p><b>One very common misconception about activist investment is that it\u2019s basically the same as private equity.<\/b> This is really not the case. While a private equity firm might meet with the boards of the companies it\u2019s managing four times a year, our involvement is really much more hands-on. There are days where I\u2019m literally conducting interviews to hire a purchasing manager or an investor relations manager for a company, and others where I\u2019m going to the bank with the company\u2019s CFO to discuss better debt restructuring terms.<\/p>\n<p><b>New investment prospects crop up on a regular basis.<\/b> The more you help the existing companies you\u2019re working with, the more your circle expands and you get introduced to new ones. I hold at least 10-12 meetings every week with new companies. Of course, not every one of these meetings yields an investment prospect, but collectively they might yield one or two.<\/p>\n<p><b>I believe the activist investment industry will grow as it becomes more widely understood.<\/b> We want to replicate it, and personally I see space for five or six different firms to be active and present in the market. But the only way for this to happen is to have a strong pool of executives, which is a key challenge for our industry. I try to work with young executives, who can be trained and learn to be very disciplined with the time they allocate to the companies we invest in.<\/p>\n<p><b>The lower interest rate environment will also be a game-changer for the industry. <\/b>A year ago, when we tried to bring investors on board, interest rates were a big hurdle. The expected rate of return was 30%, but if they could get an 18% rate of return by putting money in the bank risk-free, why would they take on additional risk for an extra 12%? With interest rates going down, the appetite for risk is increasing.<\/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\/activist-investment\/\">Activist investment<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/debt\/\">debt<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/finance\/\">Finance<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/my-morning-routine\/\">MY MORNING ROUTINE<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/zilla-capital\/\">Zilla Capital<\/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=\"592855\" 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=\"592855\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">12<\/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\/2019\/11\/07\/the-market-yesterday-243\/\">\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\/2019\/11\/07\/the-market-yesterday-243\/\" 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();
