The IPO phase of the program will see 10 state-owned companies make their EGX debuts. The companies include eight operating in the manufacturing and mining sector, alongside Banque du Caire and payments platform e-Finance.<\/p>\n<p><b>The first, non-IPO wave, meanwhile, is on track to wrap up by year end<\/b>, Tawfik said, noting that the government is ready to sell stakes in each of Alexandria Containers and Cargo Handling Company (ACCH), Abu Qir Fertilizers, and Sidi Kerir Petrochemicals (Sidpec). The order, timing, size, and makeup of each of the offerings will be determined during a meeting scheduled for next week based on the opinion of investment banks quarterbacking the sales and market conditions, Tawfik said.

The iShares MSCI EM ETF saw a record increase in short interest as yearly gains on EM ETFs <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/08\/27\/what-were-tracking-on-27-august-2019\/\">were almost entirely wiped out<\/a>, and USD bond sales hit a 42-month low.<\/p>\n<p><b>A perfect storm:<\/b> The EM headache was caused by a handful of factors, the most important of which originated in the US. The tone for August was set at the end of July, when Fed Chairman Jay Powell uttered the fateful words <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/08\/01\/what-were-tracking-on-1-august-2019\/\">\u201cmid-cycle adjustment.\u201d<\/a> Cue a market panic that was compounded shortly after by <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/08\/04\/what-were-tracking-on-4-august-2019\/\">President Donald Trump\u2019s announcement<\/a> of yet more tariffs on Chinese goods. Investors were given an extra incentive to pull money from EMs after at least 12 central banks cut rates, taking their cue from the Fed\u2019s 25 bps cut in July. Turmoil in EMs also played its part: The TRY fell 4% as Turkey\u2019s 2020 growth prospects were halved, while in the middle of the month <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/08\/14\/what-were-tracking-on-14-august-2019\/\">primary elections in Argentina<\/a> resulted in the second-biggest daily market crash in history and what looks to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/argentina-struggling-to-avoid-its-ninth-sovereign-debt-default\/a-50218447\">a ninth sovereign default<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>It might not be getting any better:<\/b> In the absence of a US-China trade agreement, the EM sell-off is likely to continue, analysts told Bloomberg. \u201cSeptember will be more of the same,\u201d said Brendan MacKenna, FX strategist at Wells Fargo. \u201cEven though China laid out their retaliation plans, it wouldn\u2019t surprise me if they got even more aggressive with countermeasures.\u201d Eric Baurmeister, head of Morgan Stanley\u2019s EM debt team, said that investors need to see evidence of Washington and Beijing coming together before EM fortunes start to change. \u201cThe benefit of the doubt is gone, and the market needs to see documents signed, trade agreements done before they get really excited.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div
