The offering was more than 5x oversubscribed, attracting USD 21.5 bn in bids from 250 investors, according to the statement. The three-tranche issuance was made up of USD 750 mn in five-year bonds, USD 1.75 bn in 10-year bonds, and USD 1.5 bn in 30-year bonds, carrying yields of 6.2%, 7.6%, and 8.7%, respectively. The final rates were 40 bps lower than the initial yield during the bookbuilding process. The 10- and 30-year bonds attracted the highest number of bids, Vice Minister of Finance Ahmed Kouchouk Reuters. The prospectus for the issuance <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2019\/2\/229.pdf\">is available here (pdf)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sentiment is up: <\/b>The oversubscription shows positive sentiment that\u2019s in line with the improvement in the general perception of emerging markets since the beginning of this year, EFG Hermes\u2019 Mohamed Abu Basha told Enterprise. \u201cThe issuance was clearly well received, which was a bit of a challenge seeing there was already decent Egypt supply in the market. The country has a good story to sell and we can see it\u2019s well received in the high coverage and tighter yields,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><b>EXCLUSIVE- More issuances on the way: <\/b>Egypt is planning to move ahead with another EUR 1-1.5 bn eurobond issuance next week, a senior government official told Enterprise on Wednesday. The government expects strong appetite judging by this week\u2019s positive eurobond performance. The official also said yields raised from this week\u2019s issuance will be transferred to the state treasury within days to support FX reserves and pay off obligations while an EGP equivalent will be disbursed to the Finance Ministry to fund the state budget. Finance Minister Mohamed Maait <a href=\"https:\/\/af.reuters.com\/article\/egyptNews\/idAFS8N1VZ04X\">said yesterday<\/a> that the ministry plans to issue more foreign currency-denominated bonds before the end of the current financial year. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/egypt-bonds\/update-1-egypt-to-offer-foreign-currency-bond-this-quarter-minister-says-idUSL5N1ZU1UB\">The minister said in January<\/a> that the ministry is looking to offer up to USD 7 bn in FX bonds in 1Q2019, and more USD- and EUR-denominated bonds by the end of 2Q2019.<\/p>\n<p><b>Egypt could be included in JPMorgan\u2019s emerging-market bond indexes as early as March<\/b>, which would support the government\u2019s strategy to cut borrowing costs and boost inflows from the debt market, the official also told us. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2019-01-31\/egypt-approaches-jpmorgan-to-join-em-bond-index-minister-says\">Maait confirmed to Bloomberg last month<\/a> plans that the ministry has approached the bank to request inclusion in its index. Unnamed sources had told the news information service about the ministry\u2019s plans <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/10\/01\/egypt-angling-for-inclusion-in-jp-morgan-emerging-markets-bond-index\/\">back in September<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Egypt to increase issuances of long-term treasury bonds: <\/b>The Finance Ministry plans to increase its issuance of domestic long-term bonds to 70% of annual offerings by 2020, Kouchouk revealed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2019-02-19\/egypt-confronts-addiction-to-short-debt-by-rethinking-bond-plans?srnd=premium-middle-east\">in a separate interview with Bloomberg<\/a>. Bonds with long maturities accounted for just 5% of domestic issuances in FY2017-18. The reliance on short-term T-bills has meant that the government has had to return to the debt markets to both refinance maturing debt and embark on new debt financing. But by issuing greater quantities of long-term bonds, the ministry hopes to increase the average maturity to five years by 2022 \u2014 double the level in FY2017-18.<\/p>\n<p><b>Diversification of debt tools, currencies:<\/b> \u201cWe want to diversify our debt instruments and currencies and also our local and international investor base to enhance completion and secure the best yields,\u201d Kouchouk said, adding that the ministry has already started the process this year.

id=\"tldr-story-05\"><\/a> <b>Expect a global recovery in sovereign sukuk issuances this year: <\/b>Sovereign sukuk issuances will stage a recovery this year to reach USD 87 bn, up from USD 78 bn in 2018 when they declined, Moody\u2019s rating agency says in a new report. This figure will rise again in 2020 toward USD 100 bn, beating the current record (USD 93 bn) for annual issuance volumes. The agency said that increasing needs for deficit financing and a higher sukuk maturity rate will mean that governments are likely to boost the total net issuance. \u201cIn the medium-term, gross issuance will rise further as the sukuk issued by the GCC governments begin to mature and are refinanced via a new issuance,\u201d said Alexander Perjessy, VP and senior analyst at Moody\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p><b>Movements in the oil markets will play a large part in the accuracy of Moody\u2019s latest forecasts<\/b>, which used an average price of USD 75 bbl over the year. Lower prices will result in widening deficits among oil-producing countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which may force them to increase sukuk issuances. The opposite occurred last year, when issuances experienced a 5% slowdown, dropping to USD 78 bn from USD 82 bn the previous year. Higher oil prices eased pressure on deficits and reduced the need to debt finance.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div

An estimated USD 19-39 bn in profit from illicit substances are returned to Mexico every year, and increasing trade is also fueling a spate in violence.<\/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\/mexico\/\">Mexico<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/money-laundering\/\">money laundering<\/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=\"601221\" 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=\"601221\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">10<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Energy<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/02\/21\/dubais-alcazar-completes-works-on-200-mw-solar-power-plants-in-benban\/\">\r\n                            Dubai\u2019s Alcazar completes works on 200 MW solar power plants in Benban                        <\/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\/02\/21\/dubais-alcazar-completes-works-on-200-mw-solar-power-plants-in-benban\/\" 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 Ahmed Zahran, co-founder and CEO of KarmSolar, Egypt\u2019s largest private off-grid solar energy integrator.<\/p>\n<p><b>I\u2019m Ahmed Zahran and I\u2019m a co-founder and the CEO of KarmSolar.<\/b> Looking at the question of who I am from a more existential perspective, I\u2019m a person with a point to prove. I want to prove that things can work in this country without the need to be corrupt or well-connected. You can build an institution the way institutions should be built. This is something I struggle with and think about every day \u2014 how can I work towards achieving this goal \u2014 to the extent that it\u2019s taken over my life and become part of who I am.<\/p>\n<p><b>My main job is to be an enabler.<\/b> It\u2019s up to me to create the context or environment and build the organization where people can achieve their potential, and where they have the resources to do their best. So I create a setup where people are motivated, and then I throw challenging ideas at them. I might then start pushing back or arguing with them to see what can and cannot be done. It\u2019s all part of catalyzing and enabling the processes.<\/p>\n<p><b>I have three different morning routines.<\/b> If I\u2019m traveling to one of our sites, I like to start very early in the morning so I wake up at 5 or 5:30 am. Sometimes I get to play sports (playing tennis is something I really enjoy), and sometimes not. I try to be consistent. Then I hit the road to visit our sites. These are really some of my best times. I love visiting our sites, looking at the sites that are under construction, and imagining how they will end up looking, just as I love looking at our existing products and remembering how they looked before we started work. If I\u2019m traveling abroad, I make sure that I have a good stock of things to read and watch. When I fly, I spend a lot of time thinking, scribbling ideas, reading and watching new things. I love that process of discovering new things. If I\u2019m spending the day in Cairo, I wake up at around 7 am to make sure I\u2019m in the office at around 10 am. Sometimes I get to exercise first thing in the morning and sometimes I do it in the evening, at 8 pm.<\/p>\n<p><b>I usually have a lot of meetings and some days I just hop from one to the next.<\/b> When I\u2019m in the office, I try to regularly go around and talk to people, or ask them what they\u2019re working on. I love eating with the team, which helps me understand what\u2019s happening in the company and what people are thinking about. We have a food culture, so we have a team lunch every day, and twice a week this is sponsored by the company. It\u2019s a time when people can get together and sometimes they invite their friends. I also keep a tiny library in my office, so sometimes when I feel that I need to take a break I\u2019ll either take a quick nap on the floor or I\u2019ll read. Our days are long, and I only sleep 3-4 hours a day, so I have to take naps every now and then. I\u2019m working hard to go home earlier.<\/p>\n<p><b>One recent read that has affected me a lot is <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Enigma-Reason-Hugo-Mercier\/dp\/0674368304\"><b>The Enigma of Reason<\/b><\/a><b>,<\/b> a book that could be described as behavioral economics. It helps you understand the origin of logic in human beings, and it\u2019s an amazing book if you want to understand how humans function, how we think, what incentivizes us and how we take decisions. I also enjoyed watching the two Fyre Festival documentaries recently \u2014 both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ljkaq_he-BU\">Hulu<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uZ0KNVU2fV0\">Netflix<\/a>. There\u2019s a lot to learn from this situation. You understand how the media can corrupt people. When it comes to film, there\u2019s a Spanish movie that I loved and would recommend to anyone, called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QEGVTj7Mjko\">A 12 Year Night<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>The origin story of KarmSolar is an interesting one. <\/b>There were four of us who were fired from a big company in 2011. The company was led by someone who did not believe in innovation or renewable energy, so when we established KarmSolar in October 2011 we wanted to prove to ourselves and obviously to him that our vision could actually work. We started in Arabica, a small cafe in Zamalek. The thing I love is that the people who gave us our initial investment were people working in the company we were fired from, who believed in us and wanted to support us.<\/p>\n<p><b>KarmSolar\u2019s niche is brain power. <\/b>We\u2019re very innovative, and we never accept things as they are. We\u2019re constantly developing and changing our business model \u2014 not to be ahead of the competition, but to be at the forefront of development for its own sake. We\u2019re trying to push existing knowledge, and we\u2019re literally redesigning the energy structure business model. I truly think we will be the first proper solar utility globally. And I mean that.<\/p>\n<p><b>People often think we\u2019re a solar developer or a solar technology company,<\/b> but we\u2019re neither of those things: We\u2019re a solar utility. We\u2019re the power company of the future. All of our infrastructure is built around conventional methods of generating, distributing, and managing power. But so far there has never been a utility built around renewable energy, so this is what we\u2019re working to build. Solar development is an opportunistic role that we play to build solar stations, but it\u2019s just a very small part of what we do. What we\u2019re really doing is designing solar utilities and the heart of our work is figuring out what they\u2019ll be like.<\/p>\n<p><b>It\u2019s exciting to be at the forefront of change in the industry. <\/b>Internally, innovation guides everything we do. We\u2019re looking at things, both commercially and technically, in a very new way. Externally, we\u2019re playing an active role, working with regulators and the government to imagine and draft the regulations of the future. Many of the things we work on don\u2019t have existing references \u2014 and this is one of the most interesting parts of the job. We literally have a blank piece of paper we\u2019re filling with the most creative commercial and technical ideas.<\/p>\n<p><b>The best business advice I\u2019ve ever been given came from my mentor and best friend of 15 years. <\/b>He encouraged me to engage in silent thinking, where you periodically retreat from everything and avoid distractions, but just think about what you are doing, your future plans, your competitive edge. Sometimes we become the slaves of failure or success. It disorients us and we can\u2019t see what to do next. He was an expert at just stopping to think silently. I learned this from him and I try to do it as much as I can. He also taught me how to learn business strategy or methodology from areas not necessarily related to business. So I learned how to use anecdotes to try to understand things and how to look for things I could use for strategic planning in documentaries, movies, or art. Finally, he taught me how to develop myself as a human being \u2014 not as an entrepreneur, businessman, or technical professional \u2014 but as a human being. This is very important because we need to have a comprehensive view of ourselves.<\/p>\n<p><b>How do I stay organized? <\/b>Who says that I stay organized? That\u2019s a presumptuous question. I\u2019m not organized, although I try to be. I jump around a lot. If you aren\u2019t able to stay organized, the best thing is to have a lot of organized people around you, and I think that\u2019s my approach.
