slowed to 2.2% in 3Q2019, down from 4.7% at the start of 2018, according to Bloomberg Economics\u2019 global GDP tracker. Newly minted IMF boss Kristalina Georgieva sees a \u201cserious risk\u201d the slowdown will spread, and <b>on Tuesday the fund is likely to cut its 2019 global growth forecast<\/b> from 3.2%, which was already the weakest reading since 2009, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2019-10-12\/is-the-world-economy-sliding-into-first-recession-since-2009?srnd=premium-middle-east\">Bloomberg says<\/a>. The bottom line is \u201ca lot needs to go right\u201d for the world to dodge a major slowdown, according to Tom Orlik, chief economist at Bloomberg Economics.<\/p><p><b>Why might you need to dig a bunker:<\/b> The 18-month-long US-China trade\u2026 war has put global growth under pressure, causing it to contract for five straight months. The UK and EU have yet to seal a Brexit agreement, and regional tensions with Iran may still hike oil prices. And on top of all that, analysts are increasingly concerned that central banks lack the necessary monetary policy tools to offset macro pressures and prevent recession.<\/p><p><b>But all hope is not lost:<\/b> The probability of the US falling into a recession is actually only at around 25%, the Bloomberg economist suggests, and, while its labor market has shown signs of easing, it should continue to support household spending. On the opposite end of the globe, China can also still shift if needed. And while central banks may not be well equipped to head off a crisis entirely, the monetary policy wheels are in motion and policy changes need time to deliver the desired effect.<\/p><hr class=\"grey-line\"><p><b>Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry begins his tour of Eastern Europe in Vienna today,<\/b> according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/EgyptianCabinet\/posts\/1379101315601563\">a cabinet statement<\/a>.

Five of nine managers polled said they would increase their investments in Egypt, citing improved economic indicators.<\/p>\n<p><b>Rate cuts key:<\/b> The Central Bank of Egypt\u2019s monetary easing cycle was cited as a key factor encouraging fund managers to increase their exposure to Egypt, according to Vrajesh Bhandari, senior portfolio manager at Al Mal Capital. \u201cUndoubtedly, [Egypt is] the most interesting story in MENA. The events in the last two weeks and the sharp market recovery is evidence that the risk-to-reward is very favorable,\u201d he said. \u201cIf the rate cuts come in as expected, we think next year could be similar.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-funds-poll-mideast\/mena-fund-managers-to-boost-egypt-uae-investments-still-bearish-on-saudi-reuters-poll-idUSKCN1VI14M\">A previous poll<\/a>by the wire service at the end of August noted that funds eyed increasing their investments in Egypt and UAE and decreasing allocations in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<p><b>No change to UAE, Saudi, Qatar, Turkey, Kuwait allocations: <\/b>Meanwhile, fund managers said they were keeping allocations in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, and Kuwait equal.

Their rival claims were passed down through their respective families, prompting impassioned debate in a series of Al Ahram articles published in 1939. But both Egyptian Philippe Waked and Syrian Selim Haddad have a justifiable claim to the title of inventor, according to this Kerning Cultures podcast (<a href=\"https:\/\/kerningcultures.com\/kerning-cultures\/a-tale-of-two-inventors\">listen, runtime: 29:45<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><b>The men may have worked in parallel to improve a clumsy prototype:<\/b> A recent investigation by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aucegypt.edu\/research\/technology-transfer\">AUC Technology Transfer Office<\/a> Director Ahmed El Leithy reveals that both men, working in different fields in Egypt during a time of great innovation, are likely to have seen a clumsy prototype of the Arabic typewriter shown during the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/World%27s_Columbian_Exposition\">1893 Chicago World\u2019s Fair<\/a>, before each working independently to develop a better model. Haddad filed the first patent for the Arabic typewriter, but Waked had in fact produced the first typed letter in Arabic three months earlier. Each man played a key role in proving the commercial viability of the Arabic typewriter, the podcast argues, and perhaps it\u2019s time to consign their rivalry to the annals of history, and simply celebrate their achievement.<\/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\/worth-listening\/\">WORTH LISTENING<\/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=\"593922\" 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=\"593922\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">7<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Diplomacy + Foreign Trade<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/10\/14\/el-sisi-ahmed-to-meet-for-gerd-talks-in-russia\/\">\r\n                            El Sisi, Ahmed to meet for GERD talks in Russia                        <\/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\/10\/14\/el-sisi-ahmed-to-meet-for-gerd-talks-in-russia\/\" 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();
