He made sure to note that at this point, the date remains under discussion in the committee and with advisers to the program. The story comes as <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/01\/15\/efg-hermes-citi-consortium-snags-advisory-role-in-acch-share-sale\/\">new mandates were reportedly awarded<\/a> to investment banks to advise on key stake sales. A consortium formed by EFG Hermes and Citi has reportedly won the mandate to run the sale of an additional stake of Alexandria Container and Cargo Handling, while CI Capital and Renaissance Capital will jointly advise on the sale of a 30% stake in Abu Qir Fertilizers.<\/p>\n<p><b>A shakeup in the program lineup? <\/b>The source said that the committee was mulling changes to the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/03\/19\/govt-unveils-the-lineup-for-the-state-ipo-program\/\">initial list of 23 companies<\/a> that were set to see stake sales. The committee has provisionally added c. 10 new companies to the list, the source said, confirming <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/10\/09\/eastern-company-stake-sale-set-for-21-25-october\/\">previous statements by Public Enterprises Minister Hisham Tawfik<\/a>. Other companies on the original list have been set aside for now, the source said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Eastern Tobacco still likely to kickstart the program: <\/b>The sale of a 4.5% additional stake in Eastern Tobacco is likely still in line to pilot the program, the source told us. Advisers, including EFG Hermes \u2014 which was tapped to manage the transaction <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/09\/09\/eastern-company-to-pilot-governments-privatization-program-efg-to-manage-transaction\/\">last September<\/a> \u2014 are continuously monitoring markets to ensure that the target share price can be met, the source added.<\/p>\n<p><b>Background: <\/b>Phase one of the program was delayed last year as the Emerging Markets Zombie Apocalypse bit the EGX.

It\u2019s gold rush time.<\/b> Investor fears about the impact of volatile markets and global uncertainty seem to be yielding a return to form for gold, typically bought as a hedge or haven, which is up 10% from its lows of August 2018, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/29924108-15b4-11e9-a581-4ff78404524e\">Financial Times<\/a>. Analysts see the trend holding up for most of the year, as the surge in holdings of gold-backed exchange traded funds shows an appetite for gold likely precipitated by a weakened USD, fragile stock markets and the expectation that the Fed will hold off on increasing interest rates. Central banks, apparently eager to diversify from the USD, are also buying gold at a level that hasn\u2019t been seen since 2015.<\/p>\n<p><b>But not everyone is convinced:<\/b> Heeding the maxim that not all that glitters is, in fact, gold, some analysts remain wary of becoming complacent about a continued increase in the level of ETF holdings. One notes that \u201cIf any of the recent tailwinds for gold were to abate, it increases the likelihood for a period of price consolidation.\u201d<\/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\/etfs\/\">ETFs<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/fiscal-policy\/\">fiscal policy<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/gold\/\">gold<\/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\/the-macro-picture\/\">THE MACRO PICTURE<\/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=\"600052\" 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=\"600052\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">6<\/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\/01\/17\/egypt-continues-to-be-battered-by-adverse-weather\/\">\r\n                            Egypt continues to be battered by adverse weather                        <\/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\/01\/17\/egypt-continues-to-be-battered-by-adverse-weather\/\" 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 decision comes as the authority moves to automate its services and set databases across all points of entry. All importers should be registered with the authority\u2019s database, which will be used across all ports. The amended Customs Act already has a whitelist of importers, who could see clearance of their goods expedited.<\/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\/customs-act\/\">Customs Act<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/customs-authority\/\">Customs Authority<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/egypt-politics-economics\/\">Egypt Politics + Economics<\/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=\"600065\" 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=\"600065\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">14<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">National Security<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/01\/17\/egyptian-m60-tanks-to-receive-engine-overhaul-parts-package\/\">\r\n                            Egyptian M60 tanks to receive engine overhaul parts package                        <\/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\/01\/17\/egyptian-m60-tanks-to-receive-engine-overhaul-parts-package\/\" 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();
