The country reported a 4.4% drop in exports in December \u2014 the lowest drop in two years <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/713ee398-179a-11e9-9e64-d150b3105d21\">according to the FT<\/a> \u2014 a result largely attributed to the trade war with the US. A 7.6% drop in imports has got everyone freaking out over a slowdown in China\u2019s growth. The results did a number on Asian markets, as the MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific ex-Japan shares fell 1%, its lowest single day drop in two weeks, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-global-markets\/china-trade-shock-rattles-european-stocks-commodities-idUSKCN1P70UT?il=0\">according to Reuters<\/a>.

A top UBS pundit says a strong US economy may give the Fed an incentive to continue to raise borrowing costs. The Swiss financial services firm joins JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America in predicting more tightening. The Fed raised rates four times in 2018, with a 25 basis point bump in December bringing its benchmark rate to 2.5%.<\/p><p><b>So should emerging markets be cringing right about now?

El Sisi said stability and development are key to resolve the refugee crisis and that Egypt has not received international aid to support refugees living here, Al Ahram reported. The president reaffirmed Egypt\u2019s commitment to providing decent living conditions to refugees, something Grandi said the UNHCR appreciates, Al Akhbar said.<\/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\/national-security\/\">national security<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/on-the-front-pages\/\">On The Front Pages<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/unhcr\/\">UNHCR<\/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=\"599953\" 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=\"599953\">\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 A LISTEN<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/01\/15\/can-bitcoin-ever-become-a-practical-currency\/\">\r\n                            Can Bitcoin ever become a practical currency?

In this Bloomberg podcast (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/audio\/2019-01-11\/making-bitcoin-into-a-currency-that-people-use-podcast\">listen, runtime: 30:52<\/a>), Bitcoin Advisory Founder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/pierrerochard\">Pierre Rochard<\/a> allows his unbridled enthusiasm for the decentralized cryptocurrency to drive the discussion, but somehow manages at the same time to bring a much-needed dose of realism to the question of how recent breakthroughs in technology could finally bring Bitcoin into the mainstream.<\/p>\n<p><b>Lightning software is key:<\/b> Crucially, he breaks down how the Lightning software he has been working on could make possible the process of using Bitcoin to conduct even simple transactions \u2014 like buying a coffee. We learn that in fact Bitcoin Founder Satoshi Nakamoto had wanted to embed the technology that would allow payments to be run without the often-cumbersome global broadcasting system, where every transaction adds a new layer of data to a blockchain ledger that everyone has to verify. Both Lightning and complementary Neutrino software can now help to bypass many of these implementation problems, creating a more efficient system and offering the user more options in terms of Bitcoin storage, trading and practical transactions.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div
