agendas last night.<\/p>\n<p><b>El Sisi\u2019s speech at the UNGA will focus on counterterrorism and combating extremism,<\/b> Masaa DMC's Eman El Hosary said <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/mFEG6OdPGNs\">(watch, runtime: 1:49)<\/a>. The president is also expected to hold meetings with several world leaders in the lead-up to and on the sidelines of the meetings.

The economists cited the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/09\/11\/egypts-headline-inflation-falls-to-six-and-a-half-year-lows-in-august\/\">unexpected inflation rate in August<\/a>, which dropped to the lowest level in six-and-a-half years, as being the primary driver towards a cut. \u201cWe think the continued decline in inflation should allow for further cuts,\u201d said EFG Hermes Mohamed Abu Basha, who sees rates going down 50 bps. Pharos, Beltone, HC and Shuaa all see rates being cut by up to 100 bps, while CI Capital said that the MPC could go for an aggressive 150 bps cut.<\/p>\n<p><b>Egypt\u2019s annual headline inflation rate fell to 7.5% <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/09\/11\/egypts-headline-inflation-falls-to-six-and-a-half-year-lows-in-august\/\"><b>in August<\/b><\/a> from 8.7% in July, a low not seen since January 2013. Low readings in July and August came despite the government raising fuel prices between 16% and 30% in July and new electricity subsidy cuts coming into effect. In a note earlier this month, Capital Economics forecast a 50% cut to the overnight deposit rate, stating that recent inflation figures and global easing trends \u201cmeans that the MPC won\u2019t hesitate in lowering interest rates again at this month\u2019s meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>The CBE <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/08\/25\/central-bank-of-egypt-cuts-interest-rates-for-the-first-time-since-february\/\"><b>last month<\/b><\/a><b> cut rates by 150 bps<\/b>, bringing the overnight deposit and lending rates to 14.25% and 15.25%, respectively. The main operation and deposit rates were both cut to 14.75%. It was the first time the bank had cut rates since February when the overnight deposit and lending rates were reduced by 100 bps.<\/p>\n<p><b>But the CBE could afford to wait before cutting again<\/b>, said Renaissance Capital\u2019s Ahmed Hafez, pointing to a potential hike in inflation in September amid rising global oil prices. \u201cI think inflation could negatively surprise in September (on a monthly basis). Perhaps 2.5-3% if press reports on vegetable supply shocks are true,\u201d Hafez said, adding that cutting rates during these shocks would not make sense. He noted, though, that the strengthening of the EGP could persuade the MPC to reduce rates in spite of this.<\/p>\n<p><b>Will treasury yields be affected?<\/b> Beltone\u2019s Alia Mamdouh, who predicts a 50-100 bps cut, sees Egyptian treasury yields remaining attractive thanks to a strong EGP and real interest rates in light of inflation decelerating. Mamdouh reminds us that domestic fuel prices will be subject to a review by the end of September, but expects them to remain unchanged.<\/p>\n<p><b>Beyond this week:<\/b> \u201cA favorable base effect and EGP strength will continue to advocate benign annual inflation readings till year-end, keeping inflation rates within the CBE\u2019s target zone of 9% (+\/-3%) by the end of 2020, particularly barring any expected price shocks,\u201d Mamdouh said.<\/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\/enterprise-poll\/\">Enterprise Poll<\/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=\"595273\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"595274\" 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=\"595274\">\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\">Image of the Day<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/09\/22\/a-sobering-reminder-of-why-the-global-climate-change-protests-are-taking-place\/\">\r\n                            A sobering reminder of why the global climate change protests are taking place                        <\/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\/09\/22\/a-sobering-reminder-of-why-the-global-climate-change-protests-are-taking-place\/\" 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();

belief that confidence always equals great leadership often results in arrogant men taking top roles they are not well suited to, business psychology professor Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic argues in his book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Why-Many-Incompetent-Become-Leaders\/dp\/1633696324\">Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders?<\/a> Modern workplace culture tends to prize confidence over virtually all other leadership traits, with 63% of the 3k women surveyed in a recent KPMG study on <a href=\"http:\/\/enterprise.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/KPMGWomensLeadershipStudy.pdf\">women\u2019s leadership (pdf)<\/a> citing confidence and determination as the top two characteristics of leaders. But while charisma may be dazzling, overconfidence can actually be a compensatory strategy for lower competence, Chamorro-Premuzic argues.<\/p>\n<p><b>Modest leadership, often exhibited by women, is actually more effective:<\/b> Several studies \u2014 including <a href=\"https:\/\/rework.withgoogle.com\/blog\/the-evolution-of-project-oxygen\/\">Google\u2019s Project Oxygen<\/a> \u2014 show that the best leaders are more focused on the well-being of their teams and individual team members than they are on personal glory. Traits such as emotional intelligence, empathy, and clear communication create a supportive environment, where teams can focus on achieving results. At heart, employees want their leaders to be \u201cone of us\u201d and not \u201cone of them,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2018\/08\/research-to-be-a-good-leader-start-by-being-a-good-follower\">research shows<\/a>. The so-called \u201cconfidence gap\u201d between men and women is a fallacy, Chamorro-Premuzic claims, saying rather that women are less likely to overrate themselves compared to their male counterparts. This is partly because assertive women <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/family\/archive\/2018\/09\/women-workplace-confidence-gap\/570772\/\">face backlash<\/a> when promoting their abilities that men don\u2019t have to contend with.<\/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\/gender\/\">gender<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/worth-reading\/\">worth reading<\/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=\"595279\" 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=\"595279\">\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\">Worth watching<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/09\/22\/ethiopias-reppie-waste-to-energy-plant-burns-rubbish-and-powers-homes\/\">\r\n                            Ethiopia\u2019s Reppie waste-to-energy plant burns rubbish and powers homes                        <\/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\/09\/22\/ethiopias-reppie-waste-to-energy-plant-burns-rubbish-and-powers-homes\/\" 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();

The Reppie plant takes almost 500 mn kgs of garbage per year, keeps it in a bunker for five days to allow moisture to seep out, and then burns it at 1000 degrees, turning the rubbish to electricity. With landfill sites generating some 10% of the world\u2019s methane \u2014 a gas 25 times more potent than CO2 \u2014 this initiative is a relatively environmentally friendly way of treating waste. While it is not as effective as reducing waste, it is still an important step for energy production, says Samuel Alemayehu, global MD at Cambridge Industries, who hopes to roll the design out to different African cities.<\/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\/energy\/\">energy<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/ethiopia\/\">Ethiopia<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/worth-watching\/\">worth watching<\/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=\"595281\" 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=\"595281\">\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\">Diplomacy + Foreign Trade<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/09\/22\/egypt-hungary-ink-manufacturing-cooperation-mou\/\">\r\n                            Egypt, Hungary ink manufacturing cooperation MoU                        <\/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\/09\/22\/egypt-hungary-ink-manufacturing-cooperation-mou\/\" 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();
