an open discussion of whether we\u2019re getting a new central bank governor<\/strong> \u2014 and for intimations that a cabinet shuffle could be in the words.<\/p>\n<p><strong>El Saeed, Ezz El Arab, Okasha in the running for central bank governor post? <\/strong>Planning Minister Hala El Said, CIB Chairman Hisham Ezz El Arab, and National Bank of Egypt Executive Chairman Hisham Okasha are among the names that could potentially succeed CBE Governor Tarek Amer if his four-year term, which is due to end this month, isn\u2019t renewed, Al Kahera Alaan\u2019s Lamees El Hadidi said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8TFiRllwNv4\">watch, runtime: 11:38<\/a>). Amer\u2019s achievements since he assumed office on 27 November 2015 include eliminating the USD black market after the EGP float and increasing the level of foreign reserves to the highest recorded in Egypt\u2019s history, El Hadidi said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A message that a cabinet shuffle is coming?<\/strong> Yasser Rizk, chairman of state-owned Akhbar Al Youm and reported confidante of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, was on Ahmed Moussa\u2019s show Ala Mas'ouleety last night to deliver a message: <strong>We could be seeing over 10 new faces in the cabinet soon.<\/strong> \u201cThis is my gut feeling as a journalist who\u2019s been in the field for 35 years,\u201d Rizk said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rwlpyQPLpxQ\">watch, runtime: 3:12<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who\u2019s out? <\/strong>Rizk singled out the supply minister, who he says mishandled reform of the ration card subsidy program.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who\u2019s safe? <\/strong>Rizk suggested that the prime minister, along with the ministers of planning, electricity, housing and religious endowments, are all likely to return to the cabinet table.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GERD talks also get some airtime: <\/strong>Irrigation Ministry spokesperson Mohamed El Sebai provided more details yesterday on last week\u2019s Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam negotiations after Sudan\u2019s irrigation minister, Yasser Abbas, took the lead earlier with statements to the press showing signs of an impending breakthrough. Abbas said Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan agreed that filling the reservoir should not exceed seven years, depending on the Blue Nile\u2019s hydrologic cycle. We have the full story in Diplomacy + Foreign Trade, below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>El Hadidi phoned El Sebai<\/strong>, who echoed previous statements said Egypt is looking to minimize the impact of filling on Nile water levels, while not compromising Ethiopia\u2019s development needs (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LfqAkrZBCxc\">watch, runtime: 8:09<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>El Hekaya\u2019s Amr Adib, meanwhile, spoke to Ethiopia\u2019s ambassador to Egypt Dina Mufti,<\/strong> who said that the talks last week were a step in the right direction and achieved notable progress (watch, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DP74vmhq4ZY\">runtime: 1:37<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=E5SGFSpqmV4\">runtime: 2:29<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Egypt has spent three years preparing a human rights progress report for the UN review, <\/strong>Parliamentary Affairs Minister Omar Marawan told Adib in a phone interview (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RTZ3nIriNYA\">watch, runtime: 7:12<\/a>).

El Sewedy did not clarify whether his company is eyeing the 70% stake six international investors are already bidding for, or if it would look into some other form of partnership with Egypt\u2019s sovereign wealth fund, Tharaa. Actis, France\u2019s Engie, China Datang Overseas Investment, Edra Holdings, and Blacstone\u2019s Zarou <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/11\/14\/actis-engie-datang-in-the-running-to-acquire-stake-in-egypts-combined-cycle-power-plants-6302\/\">are all competing<\/a> for the plant stake. Electricity Ministry source had said last week that Zarou is the top contender to acquire the stake, having submitted the best financial offer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Elsewedy is also looking at other potential investments Tharaa will be offering up, including in the gas sector.<\/strong> El Sewedy noted that the fund may not necessarily have sufficient expertise in the sectors it\u2019s currently eyeing up, but said he expects the fund\u2019s management to tap experienced investors and partners to plug the gaps.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Naguib Sawiris, meanwhile, is keeping an eye out on a chance to invest with Tharaa in Egypt\u2019s mining sector<\/strong>, the Orascom Investment Holding Executive Chairman <a href=\"https:\/\/hapijournal.com\/2019\/11\/17\/%d9%86%d8%ac%d9%8a%d8%a8-%d8%b3%d8%a7%d9%88%d9%8a%d8%b1%d8%b3-%d9%85%d9%86%d9%81%d8%aa%d8%ad-%d8%b9%d9%84%d9%89-%d9%85%d8%b4%d8%a7%d8%b1%d9%83%d8%a9-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%b5%d9%86%d8%af%d9%88%d9%82-%d8%a7\/\">tells Hapi Journal<\/a>. Naguib said he would want his gold investment ventures with Tharaa to be limited to providing financing, and would not be looking to acquire a management role in any mining companies or ventures through the fund. The business tycoon also signaled his readiness to bid for a chance to restructure and improve the performance of Egyptian companies in the industries he\u2019s familiar with. Among the projects he\u2019s currently eyeing outside the mining sector is the planned overhaul of the Mogamma\u2019 in downtown Cairo, as well as tourism investments in the area around the Grand Egyptian Museum.<\/p>\n<p>In other Tharaa news, <strong>our friends at EFG Hermes reportedly advised on the fund\u2019s USD 20 bn investment platform<\/strong> with Abu Dhabi Development Holding Company, <a href=\"https:\/\/ara.reuters.com\/article\/businessNews\/idARAKBN1XR0EN\">according to Reuters Arabic<\/a>. <strong>Helmy, Hamza & Partners<\/strong> also acted as legal counsel to Tharaa, two government officials tell the newswire. Tharaa and ADDH had signed the agreement last week to set up the joint investment fund, which will invest using a variety of structures in manufacturing, traditional and renewable energy, and technology, among other sectors. EFG declined Enterprise\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div
