The share price is at a 3% premium to the stock price at close on Thursday, the ministry said.

The Holding Company for Chemical Industries<a href=\"http:\/\/cihc-eg.com\/index.php\/user\/article\/223\">announced on Thursday<\/a> it would offer 95% of the shares up for grabs in a private placement and the rest in the public offering that begins today and ends on Tuesday. <a href=\"https:\/\/af.reuters.com\/article\/egyptNews\/idAFL5N20O1XC\">Reuters<\/a> also had the story.<\/p>\n<p><b>The sale is the only the beginning of the ambitious state privatization program<\/b> which had<a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/03\/19\/govt-unveils-the-lineup-for-the-state-ipo-program\/\">an initial line up of 23 companies<\/a>that are either listed already and will offer more shares for sale or brand new stocks coming to the market. <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/01\/17\/govt-considers-jumpstarting-privatization-program-in-march\/\">The list of companies was later revised<\/a> and 10 more companies were added and some were put aside. The first phase of the program, which focuses on stake sales by already-listed companies was delayed last year as the emerging markets sell-off bit the EGX. Tawfik said the government is planning for 4-5 companies to go public in the second phase of its share-sale program during 4Q2019, the <a href=\"https:\/\/alborsaanews.com\/2019\/03\/02\/1182834\">domestic press reported<\/a>. The program is expected to raise EGP 80 bn.<\/p>\n<p><b>So what is coming next?<\/b> The next stop for the privatization train is the sale of an additional 30% stake in Alexandria Containers & Cargo Handling, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masrawy.com\/news\/news_economy\/details\/2019\/3\/1\/1523737\/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D9%83%D9%88%D9%85%D8%A9-%D8%AA%D8%B7%D9%84%D9%82-%D8%A8%D8%B1%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%AC-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B7%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%AD%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%A8%D8%B9%D8%AF-%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%85-%D9%85%D9%86-%D8%A5%D8%B9%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%87-%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%B0%D8%A7-%D8%A8%D8%B9%D8%AF-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B4%D8%B1%D9%82%D9%8A%D8%A9#sectionListing\">Tawfik told Masrawy<\/a>, without giving details on timing.

The bank is currently reviewing its financial statements alongside other commitments to finalize logistics needed for the share-sale to take place in 2019, the sources said.<\/p>\n<p><b>REGULATION WATCH- FRA pushes by six months a grace period for yet-to-be-traded shares:<\/b> This comes as the Financial Regulatory Authority extended to 30 September a grace period for companies that have listed on the EGX but have yet to IPO, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fra.gov.eg\/content\/efsa_ar\/decisions\/dec322019.htm\">according to an executive decision (pdf)<\/a>.

rates low as emerging markets weather crises:<\/b> Default rates on EM corporate bonds were lower than those in developed markets last year, despite the strengthening USD, the US-China trade war, and financial crises in Argentina and Turkey, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/2639c5ae-3aa7-11e9-b856-5404d3811663\">Steve Johnson writes in the Financial Times<\/a>. New data reveals that just 1.4% of non-financial EM corporate bonds rated by Moody\u2019s defaulted last year, compared to 1.6% in developed economies. EM companies represent 14% of the 4,500 bonds rated by Moody\u2019s but were responsible for only 11% of defaults.<\/p>\n<p><b>Speculative-grade bonds may be entering choppy waters:<\/b> While Moody\u2019s (which rates both investment-grade and speculative-grade bonds) sees default rates rising slightly during 2H2019, data from investment consultancy Fundamental Intelligence suggests that rates on speculative-grade bonds may be in for a sharp rise post-2019. The company is currently projecting rates to rise to 3.2% in 2020 and 5.2% by the end of 1H2021, with the majority of at-risk companies being concentrated in China and Argentina. Fundamental Intelligence founder David Spegel tells the FT that we should expect knock-on effects in emerging markets in 4Q2019 or 1Q2020 should these figures prove accurate.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!--

The city of Wenzhou has begun handing out RMB 10 penalties to people caught texting on their phones while walking on the street, while Xian has even started painting designated smartphone lanes on pavements. The new measures show that the authorities have little faith that common sense will prevail among the so-called Phubbers, and have decided to take more coercive action.<\/p>\n<p><b>And it\u2019s not just pedestrians causing problems:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/tripping\/wp\/2017\/04\/04\/more-evidence-that-smartphones-and-driving-dont-mix\/?utm_term=.ba4d98e26201\">Statistics from 2017<\/a> suggest that more than half of all US road accidents involve a driver using a mobile phone. And more recent figures haven\u2019t shown any improvement: Last year, the number of US pedestrians killed in road accidents rose to its highest level in almost three decades, <a href=\"https:\/\/dailytimes.com.pk\/360393\/rising-use-of-smartphones-suvs-partly-to-blame-for-jump-in-us-pedestrian-deaths-in-2018\/\">preliminary government data<\/a> showed last week.
