The two sides agreed to set up a council composed of five civilian representatives, five military leaders and an eleventh civilian to be selected by the other members. A military general will take the helm for the first 21 months before ceding power to a civilian who will rule for another 18 months.

China challenged US anti-subsidy tariffs on USD 7.3 bn of Chinese exports at the WTO in 2012. The US had argued the Beijing was using public companies to subsidize its economy but the WTO said that Washington had to accept Chinese prices.

Moussa did not disclose further details on the investments, but said that the school acquisitions should close within the coming weeks, and the firm will begin working on the pharma transaction as of the next quarter.<\/p>\n<p><b>EFG has two private sector IPOs in the pipeline for the third and fourth quarter of the year<\/b>, in addition to quarterbacking the planned secondary stake sales in state-owned Banque du Caire and Alexandria Container and Cargo Handling, Co-Head of Investment Banking Mostafa Gad tells <a href=\"https:\/\/ara.reuters.com\/article\/businessNews\/idARAKCN1UC2BY\">Reuters\u2019 Arabic service<\/a>. According to Gad, one of the private sector companies looking to IPO is in the tech sector, and will likely debut on the EGX before the end of 3Q2019, while the second company\u2019s IPO should go to market before the end of 4Q2019. Gad did not name either company.<\/p>\n<p><b>EFG is also working on listing two \u201cmajor\u201d companies on the London Stock Exchange before the year is out<\/b>, Gad tells the newswire, without providing further information. It is unclear whether the companies listing on the EGX are eyeing a dual listing on the LSE or if these are separate companies.<\/p>\n<p><b>The firm is still committed to its expansion plans and has its eyes set on being ranked among the top five investment banks in the markets it operates in<\/b>, EFG Hermes Group CEO Karim Awad said at the conference, <a href=\"https:\/\/almalnews.com\/%D9%87%D9%8A%D8%B1%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%B3-4-%D9%85%D9%84%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%AF%D9%88%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%AD%D8%AC%D9%85-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D8%B5%D9%88%D9%84-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85\/\">according to Al Mal<\/a>. EFG is planning on focusing during the coming period on increasing its market share across all 13 countries it operates in, but will not focus solely on its brokerage operations, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alborsaanews.com\/2019\/07\/17\/1226331\">Awad said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Separately, EFG is planning to set up one or two non-banking financial services companies by year-end<\/b>, EFG Finance CEO Walid Hassouna said at the press conference, <a href=\"https:\/\/hapijournal.com\/2019\/07\/17\/%D9%88%D9%84%D9%8A%D8%AF-%D8%AD%D8%B3%D9%88%D9%86%D8%A9-%D8%B4%D8%B1%D9%83%D8%AA%D8%A7%D9%86-%D8%AC%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%AF%D8%AA%D8%A7%D9%86-%D9%84%D9%87%D9%8A%D8%B1%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%B3-%D9%81%D9%8A-%D9%82\/\">according to Hapi Journal<\/a>.

Emerging markets seemed destined for alignment with the West earlier this century, as increasing trade, growing global interdependence of supply chains, and the commodities boom of the 2000s fueled unprecedented economic growth and lifted mns out of poverty. But in the years since the 2008 financial crisis, emerging markets have set upon an altogether different path, and while demographic and technological trends bode well for the long term, there are significant uncertainties about what the short and medium-term future may hold.<\/p>\n<p><b>The growth of protectionism has led to many proclaiming that the end of globalization is near<\/b>, and while these apocalyptic predictions may prove to be unfounded, emerging markets are not best placed to cope with new trade barriers and geopolitical battle lines. A continuation of this trend may mean the emerging markets will need to find new ways to fuel growth at a time when investment is falling and productivity figures are slipping.<\/p>\n<p><b>Growth in China, responsible for carrying so many emerging markets into the 21st century, isn\u2019t what it was.<\/b> GDP has slowed since 2008, its dependence on imports has increased, and non-financial sector debt has soared. \u201cChina is one of the big risks,\u201d David Spegel, founder of Fundamental Intelligence, tells the FT. \u201cAs the economy matures, the ability of the authorities to have an impact is not what is was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>We saw last year what a strengthening USD can do to emerging markets<\/b>, and there\u2019s a chance it could appreciate again later this year. Although the US Federal Reserve is likely to cut rates later this month, investors may well rush into the USD amid signs of a global slowdown. Any strengthening of the USD will only increase borrowing costs for emerging markets, tightening financial conditions.<\/p>\n\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\/china\/\">China<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/emerging-markets\/\">emerging markets<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/globalization\/\">globalization<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/the-macro-picture\/\">THE MACRO PICTURE<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/trade\/\">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=\"597210\" 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=\"597210\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">5<\/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\/07\/18\/visicalc-the-granddaddy-of-spreadsheets\/\">\r\n                            VisiCalc: The granddaddy of spreadsheets                        <\/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\/07\/18\/visicalc-the-granddaddy-of-spreadsheets\/\" 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();

Speaking to us this week is Janet Heckman (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/janet-heckman-ab34a247\/\">LinkedIn<\/a>), managing director for the southern and eastern Mediterranean (SEMED) region and country head of Egypt at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebrd.com\/home\">European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>My name is Janet Heckman and I\u2019m a 32-year Citibank veteran corporate and investment banker,<\/b> who was then transformed into a development banker through the EBRD, and I love it. With my husband Dermot, I have lived and worked in 10 countries, but I am originally an Ohioan. My daughters (Amelia, 28, and Sorcha, 25) always say that the most difficult question for them to answer is where they are from, and I have to say that \u2018who are you?\u2019 is a bit the same for me.<\/p>\n<p><b>I think that I have the best job ever. <\/b>In the SEMED region, we invest in Morocco, Tunisia, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon and the Palestinian Territories. It\u2019s a great opportunity to really make a difference, and a job that combines the best of policy dialogue and banking.<\/p>\n<p><b>I\u2019m convinced that there are two types of people: early birds and night owls. <\/b>I\u2019ve always been an early riser and haven\u2019t used an alarm in years. I\u2019m up around 5am and start my day by reading for an hour, before heading off to swim some laps. It\u2019s a great way to start the morning, because if I leave the exercise until the end of the day, it will never happen. Breakfast is always plain yogurt, along with whichever fruit is in season \u2014 right now it\u2019s my favorite, mangos. Lately I\u2019ve been trying to cut down on my screen time and resist looking at my phone until after breakfast, as otherwise I lose this valuable part of the day.<\/p>\n<p><b>At heart I\u2019m a banker, and I always try to spend as much of my day as possible out with clients or in meetings with government counterparties, <\/b>whether I\u2019m home in Cairo or in one of the other countries I visit frequently. My favorite visits are to sites and factories, as they really bring home the impact of the work that we do. Last week I was with colleagues in Alexandria and we visited one of the companies up for IPO \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/06\/20\/acch-finishes-roadshow-in-dubai-and-london-ahead-of-share-sale\/\">Alexandria Containers<\/a> \u2014 and it was quite exciting to be there and literally see Egypt\u2019s trade taking place.<\/p>\n<p><b>I\u2019m terribly disorganized,<\/b> and have to make sure everything goes straight into my calendar so that I can factor it into my plans and schedule. I\u2019m also a list maker.<\/p>\n<p><b>Among the best things I\u2019ve read recently are two books of historical fiction set in the Middle East.<\/b> I reread Ahdaf Soueif\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Map-Love-Novel-Ahdaf-Soueif\/dp\/0385720114\">The Map of Love<\/a>, which is an amazing story encompassing the turbulent early 20th century in Egypt, and I also read Isabella Hammad\u2019s new book, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Parisian-Isabella-Hammad\/dp\/0802129439\">The Parisian<\/a>, set in Palestine in the 1930s\/40s.<\/p>\n<p><b>I\u2019m an avid reader of history, biography and good fiction,<\/b> and I have a weakness for Scottish and Irish detective novels. I also collect signed first edition books and maps. I really enjoy being outdoors, swimming in the summer and skiing in the winter. Having been lucky enough to live in Egypt over the last three years, my family and I have spent as much time as possible exploring this amazing country. My favorite places so far are Siwa and the temples around Lake Nasser, but still on my to-do list are the whale fossils in Fayoum, the black and white desert, and Dahab.<\/p>\n<p><b>For anyone going to London soon, I highly recommend going to see the Canadian play <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/comefromaway.com\/\"><b>Come From Away<\/b><\/a><b>, <\/b>which tells the story of the 7k people who were forced to land in Gander, Newfoundland, when the US closed its airspace in the wake of 9\/11. It\u2019s a real take on humanity at its best.<\/p>\n<p><b>Interestingly, both Egypt and Morocco were founding shareholders of the EBRD, <\/b>which was initially set up in 1991 to help bring market economies to the former Eastern Bloc. With the regional turmoil of 2011\/2012, our shareholders (now numbering 68 countries and two international organizations) asked us to start working in the SEMED region, due to our private sector focus. So we set up operations in Egypt, Morocco, Jordan and Tunisia. Last year we began operations in the West Bank and Gaza, and in Lebanon. It\u2019s been a remarkably quick ramp-up, and as of today, we\u2019ve invested more than USD 10 bn in the region, in 224 projects. In Egypt we\u2019ve invested close to a total of USD 6 bn, and that includes USD 3 bn in the last two years alone. We work in all sectors of the economy, and provide SMEs with advisory support through our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebrd.com\/small-business-support.html\">Advice for Small Businesses<\/a> and our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebrdwomeninbusiness.com\/\">Women in Business<\/a> programs.<\/p>\n<p><b>EBRD is totally focused on the private sector,<\/b> and our niche is that we successfully combine this with policy dialogue with the public sector to help open up opportunities for private sector investment. One excellent example of this is the landmark Benban solar park, where EBRD accounts for nearly 50% of the total investment. This was preceded by two years of policy engagement to get the right conditions in place to attract foreign investors. Another great example is the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/06\/12\/egypt-to-accept-tenders-for-6-october-dry-port-on-11-july\/\">6 October dry port<\/a>, which is a PPP project for which bids will be opened next week. We work in all sectors of the economy. We have a strong team that consists of almost 70 people on the ground in Cairo and Alexandria, and we\u2019ll be opening our third office in Ismailia later in the year. You can\u2019t do development banking out of a suitcase.<\/p>\n<p><b>Our large public sector transactions, such as the Cairo Metro or the Egyptian Rail, receive a lot of attention, <\/b>and this means that many don\u2019t realize that our key focus is actually on the private sector. In the long run, the private sector can always be effective in a way that the public sector can\u2019t be. In the short term it may look as though public sector solutions are quicker, but they will rarely be sustainable.<\/p>\n<p><b>Technological innovation is the key force that will create change in the industry. <\/b>If you take Uber as an example, here\u2019s a company that has created over 100k jobs in Egypt, in an industry that didn\u2019t exist 10 years ago.<\/p>\n<p><b>The best piece of business advice I\u2019ve ever been given was from my father,<\/b> who used to say that you attract more flies with molasses than with vinegar.
