An improving current account position will help to support the EGP against downward pressures over the medium term, according to analysis from Goldman. Falling fuel imports, a gradual recovery in the tourism sector and steady remittance inflows will push the current account into surplus territory in FY2019-20, \u201cremoving any downside pressure on the nominal exchange rate,\u201d the investment bank writes.<\/p>\n<p><b>But expect a steady REER appreciation: <\/b>Although the current account movement should keep the EGP on track, the real effective exchange rate will appreciate as inflation in Egypt continues to exceed that of its trading partners. Goldman\u2019s model suggests the EGP \u201cis now fairly valued and, under our inflation projections, should weaken from here by around 8% per year over the next three years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Weak FDI could put pressure on the currency, says our friend Ahmed Badr at Credit Suisse: <\/b>The EGP could come under pressure if foreign investment levels do not pick up, Ahmed Badr, Middle East managing director at Credit Suisse, told Bloomberg. \u201cWe\u2019ve reached a new cycle where we need to shift from the T-bill trade into actual investments, but that hasn\u2019t happened yet,\u201d he said. \u201cIf that continues, will it actually affect the currency?

Adyen\u2019s value proposition, that it saves merchants mns of USD by streamlining card-payment transactions, was further underscored by early collaborations with Uber and Airbnb. <b>Now, it is one of

successful member of the community starts their day \u2014 and then throws in a couple of random business questions because we simply can\u2019t help ourselves. This week\u2019s interview is with Victoria Diachkova, founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sincerelyv.com\/\">Sincerely V<\/a>. Edited excerpts from our conversation:<\/p>\n<p><b>Who are you?<\/b> Victoria Diachkova, a Russian (as my name clearly suggests) living in Egypt since 2003. I moved here when I married my husband, Helmy, an Egyptian-American, so we\u2019re a very diverse family, mixing in the best sides of all three cultures. We have two boys: Taymour, 12, and Adam, 9, who make sure to keep me busy.<\/p>\n<p><b>What do you do \/ what\u2019s your day job?<\/b> I\u2019m a plant-based nutritionist and lifestyle blogger, recipe and menu developer, consultant, and health coach. In addition to running my blog, Sincerely V, and recipe development, I consult on plant-based menu development for hospitality and F&B businesses in Cairo.<\/p>\n<p><b>What\u2019s your morning routine?<\/b> I wake up at 6 am with the kids. I drink my glass of celery juice (a relatively new addition to my morning routine) while getting them out the door. After sending them off to school, I have my coffee with homemade almond milk and a green apple. (You\u2019re probably rolling your eyes by now: Celery juice, homemade almond milk, apple \u2014 who has time for that? I promise it\u2019s all worth it.) I usually post something on my social media accounts, check my email, read Enterprise, and confirm my plans for the day, which are usually set well in advance. I consider my exercise routine a priority, so I do work out every morning. Then, I have my big breakfast and start my day, either with meetings and errands, or working at home.<\/p>\n<p><b>What\u2019s the best thing you\u2019ve watched \/ read lately?<\/b> I\u2019m a bookworm by nature. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Food-Revolution-Your-Diet-World\/dp\/1573244872\">The Food Revolution<\/a>\u201d by John Robbins is a phenomenal eye opener on the impact our food choices have on our health and the environment. I also recommend \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Proteinaholic-Obsession-Meat-Killing-About\/dp\/0062279319\">Proteinaholic<\/a>\u201d by Garth Davis on our obsession with protein and its consequences, and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Longevity-Diet-Discover-Activation-Regeneration\/dp\/0525534075\">The Longevity Diet<\/a>\u201d by leading longevity scientist Valter Longo on optimal nutrition for a long, healthy, and active life. I also love to listen to podcasts; my favorite is <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/eg\/podcast\/the-rich-roll-podcast\/id582272991?mt=2\">Rich Roll<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>What\u2019s the origin story of Sincerely V?<\/b> I started Sincerely V on social media a little over a year ago when I was studying at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), which led me to take multiple other courses specifically on plant-based nutrition. I became very passionate about the topic and grew frustrated that it is not common knowledge that our meat-, chicken-, and cheese-heavy diets are the leading factors of growing rates of chronic diseases and obesity. Egypt is among the top 20 countries with the highest rates of obesity, coming in at 30% of the population. I started sharing nutritional information, tips, and recipes to back up what I preach. My photography skills help me a lot with delivering the message: Vegetables can be more than just fries or a sad pile of bland, overcooked saut\u00e9, and salads go beyond iceberg lettuce with Caesar dressing.<\/p>\n<p><b>What do people not understand about your business?<\/b> Nutrition as a science is relatively new. There is a lot of confusion, misleading information, fad diets, and dietary theories. But most of it is just that \u2014 fad diets that don\u2019t work and theories that have no scientific backing. People hear different things from multiple, usually unreliable sources, get frustrated, and then accept a mantra like \u201ceverything in moderation\u201d to make themselves feel better about their bad habits. Moderation means different things for different people, so that doesn\u2019t work. I do not prescribe diets, detoxes or plans for weight loss. These are all byproducts of a plant based lifestyle, which is the least restrictive and most inexpensive and sustainable way of eating. Clean, wholesome, sustainable food shouldn\u2019t be a luxury, specialty, or niche. I\u2019m in the business of making it a mainstream. My goal is to introduce plant based menus throughout Cairo \u2014 at restaurants, hotels, coffee shops, and schools. I want to provide options for people who are not necessarily entirely vegan or plant based, but are looking to give their body a break from a diet overly saturated with animal products.<\/p>\n<p><b>I just launched my first 100% plant based menu in Cairo at Frank & Co in Maadi<\/b>. The restaurant\u2019s own menu couldn\u2019t be further from plant based: It heavily features meat, chicken, and cheese. However, the restaurant\u2019s founder Frank Heinen, who has a long career in F&B, saw the potential in and benefits of introducing a plant based menu in addition to the original and it\u2019s paying off. We\u2019ve been getting absolutely phenomenal feedback from vegetarians and omnivores alike. I\u2019m extremely excited about that because I know that it\u2019s just the beginning of our food scene transformation in Cairo.<\/p>\n<p><b>How is the \u201cbusiness of food\u201d changing?<\/b> Food trends are changing dramatically. As people learn the benefits of consuming most of their calories from plants, there is a big dietary shift toward vegetarian food. This is not another trend or fad diet; it\u2019s been around for generations and is here to stay. Restaurants, hotels, schools, hospitals and airlines are introducing plant based menus around the world. Food manufacturing in Egypt is getting there too; there are more and more clean brands appearing on our grocery shelves.<\/p>\n<p><b>What one internal or external force will create the most change in your industry?<\/b> Creating demand for clean, sustainable, health promoting food through education. Providing information about food sources, demanding transparency in food manufacturing and educating ourselves and our kids about real, wholesome, sustainable food choices. Not to sound overly dramatic, but it\u2019s not personal anymore; we need to consider our environment. Global food production, specifically animal agriculture, is the single largest driver of environmental destruction, water depletion and climate instability. By eating lower on the food chain, you will be giving both your body and our planet a break. Once demand for these so-called \u201cspecialty foods\u201d picks up, the food industry will make them affordable and accessible to everyone.<\/p>\n<p><b>What do you do in your free time?<\/b> I read up on nutrition, watch conferences on YouTube, and listen to podcasts. I still read fiction before bed, though, to give my brain a break. When I really need to disconnect, I travel. We travel frequently as a family, but I also often travel alone, which I enjoy very much and consider as a form of therapy. I like to add a little adventure to my solo trips with activities like skydiving, bungee jumping and long hikes.<\/p>\n<p><b>How do you stay organized?<\/b> I\u2019m not the most organized person, but I do like order \u2014 both digital and physical. I like labeling and decluttering both my kitchen and office. My routine takes quite a bit of planning, so I try to schedule my week in advance. I live 40 minutes from Maadi, where I spend most of my days before picking the kids up from school and spending the rest of the day with them.
