The company is yet to choose the advisers for the offering or select a listing venue, but it is said to be conducting interviews with potential advisers and considering to list in either Paris or London. Nothing is set in stone, though, and Orange may yet decide to abandon its IPO plans, according to the sources.

Renaissance Dam (GERD) negotiations, and President Abdel Fattah El Sisi\u2019s trip to Germany were among the topics that kept the nation\u2019s talking heads chattering well into the evening.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UNHRC adopts 372 recommendations for Egypt after periodic review: <\/strong>The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) <a href=\"http:\/\/english.ahram.org.eg\/NewsContent\/1\/64\/356003\/Egypt\/Politics-\/UPDATED-UNHRC-adopts-member-states-recommendations.aspx\">has adopted<\/a> 372 recommendations presented by member

A total of 136 handed their recommendations, of which 39 criticized the government\u2019s human rights run and 97 \u201cexpressed appreciation\u201d for Egypt\u2019s efforts and called for more proactive action. <a href=\"http:\/\/english.ahram.org.eg\/NewsContent\/1\/64\/356003\/Egypt\/Politics-\/UPDATED-UNHRC-adopts-member-states-recommendations.aspx\">Ahram Online reported<\/a> at the weekend that 14 countries asked Egypt to abolish the death penalty, others wanted the government to go further to lifting restrictions on the country\u2019s NGO sector, and a number raised concerns about the treatment of the LGBTQ community.

The central bank cited inflation\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/11\/11\/egypts-annual-headline-inflation-cools-again-in-october-6065\/\">continued deceleration in October<\/a>, with annual headline inflation hitting its lowest since December 2005, as well as employment dipping in 2Q2019 and stabilizing real GDP growth. The MPC also factored in accelerated global monetary easing as a result of the weakening expansion of economic activity. This is the third consecutive rate cut in an easing cycle that has seen the central bank cut rates by 350 bps since August, and 450 bps over the course of the year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The move was not a surprise to most:<\/strong> Five of the six economists surveyed in our <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/11\/07\/cbe-to-make-third-consecutive-rate-cut-next-week\/\">Enterprise poll<\/a> ahead of the meeting had anticipated a 50-100 bps cut. Renaissance Capital was the only research house we surveyed that expected the CBE to keep rates on hold. Polls by Reuters and Bloomberg had similar results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where rates now stand:<\/strong> The CBE\u2019s overnight deposit rate now stands at 12.25% and its lending rate is at 13.25%. The main operation and discount rates are now 12.75%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Analysts are divided on whether the MPC have afforded to be more aggressive in its penultimate meeting this year:<\/strong> Signet\u2019s Angus Blair <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/egypt-cenbank\/update-2-egypts-central-bank-makes-third-straight-cut-to-interest-rates-idUSL8N27U7LU\">tells Reuters<\/a> he believes the CBE could have gotten away with a \u201cmore aggressive\u201d rate cut in light of Egypt\u2019s inflation cooling quickly, while Naeem Brokerage\u2019s Allen Sandeep tells the newswire he sees the 100 bps cut as more \u201cprudent\u201d and \u201csustainable.\u201d Blair <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/09\/29\/central-bank-of-egypt-cuts-rates-by-100-bps-in-line-with-expectations-2\/\">had also been hoping for a deeper cut<\/a> at the MPC\u2019s last meeting in September.<\/p>\n<p class='web-image' ><a href='https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2019-11-14\/egypt-rate-cut-certain-but-size-in-question-decision-day-guide'><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2019\/11\/1884.jpg?ssl=1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Is corporate borrowing for capex finally going to be unlocked?<\/strong> Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/06\/13\/businesses-eager-for-interest-rates-to-return-to-pre-float-levels-to-boost-investment\/&sa=D&ust=1573919886272000&usg=AFQjCNHRr1kIFr_sQPI51GVQsxKrVfzsQQ\">survey of nine companies<\/a> across several industries earlier this year found that businesses are waiting for interest rates to fall within pre-float levels of 10-13% before ramping up capex borrowing. Lending rates are currently just 25 bps shy of the upper limit of that range. Rates dropping to almost where they were before Egypt\u2019s IMF-backed economic program will \u201cprovide support for a gradual recovery in private investments,\u201d EFG Hermes\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2019-11-14\/egypt-rate-cut-certain-but-size-in-question-decision-day-guide\">Mohamed Abu Basha tells Bloomberg<\/a>. Beltone, meanwhile, sees a \u201cmoderate recovery\u201d in capex borrowing as private demand growth gradually picks up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The CBE probably won\u2019t squeeze in one more rate cut when it meets again next month, Goldman Sachs said<\/strong> in a report, according to Bloomberg. The investment bank says it expects the CBE to resume its easing cycle next year \u201cbarring any material changes to inflation expectations.\u201d Prime Holding is also forecasting this will be the final cut of the year. The CBE will likely pause to see how the easing affects inflation and capital inflows into Egyptian debt before it moves forward with further cuts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The carry trade isn\u2019t losing its luster just yet:<\/strong> Yields on Egyptian debt will remain attractive to investors even after last week\u2019s rate cut, particularly as the US Federal Reserve cut interest rates one week earlier, Pharos Holdings\u2019 head of research Radwa El Swaify tells Reuters. Swaify also cites the EGP\u2019s YTD strength against the greenback as another reason for foreign investments in fixed income to remain unaffected.

The Global Debt Monitor finds that EM debt has risen by USD 4.6 tn in the year to 2Q2019, having measured USD 66.8 tn in 2Q2018.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sovereigns driving debt growth in EMs:<\/strong> Rising EM debt levels over the previous decade have been driven in large part by state-owned enterprises, which now account for more than half of all non-financial corporate debt. Bonds now make up 47% of all EM debt, up from 43% a decade ago.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Global debt levels to surpass USD 255 tn this year:<\/strong> The total amount of global debt surged by USD 7.5 tn in the first half of 2019, spurred by a wave of monetary easing by central banks across the world.

If there is still no agreement by this date, other countries will be asked to step in and formally mediate the dispute.<\/p>\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\/diplomacy\/\">DIPLOMACY<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/diplomacy-foreign-trade\/\">Diplomacy + Foreign Trade<\/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=\"593072\" 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=\"593072\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">8<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Energy<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/11\/17\/eetc-awards-three-contracts-for-overhead-benban-toshka-transmission-line\/\">\r\n                            EETC awards three contracts for overhead Benban-Toshka transmission line                        <\/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\/17\/eetc-awards-three-contracts-for-overhead-benban-toshka-transmission-line\/\" 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();
