The index fell to 48.2 last month from 48.5 in January, \u201csignalling a moderate deterioration in the health of the non-oil private sector economy.\u201d Companies surveyed in the index attributed the decline to low sales, bad weather, and a lack of liquidity. February\u2019s reading is \u201csubstantially weaker than the 2018 average of 49.5 ... and while we continue to expect an improvement in conditions over the course of 2019, Egyptian firms clearly remain under pressure,\u201d Daniel Richards, MENA economist at Emirates NBD, said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Weakening market conditions and a drop in exports led to the biggest decline in new orders in 20 months<\/b>, and foreign demand declined at the quickest rate since October 2016. Output also witnessed the largest decline since September 2017. Purchasing activity also fell for the first time in five months, while stock levels remained unchanged.<\/p>\n<p><b>Input prices accelerated slightly month-on-month<\/b> as a result of higher costs of transportation, raw materials, electricity, and water. Businesses offered discounts, leading to output prices declining for the second consecutive month.<\/p>\n<p><b>Despite all this, business sentiment is at its highest levels in 10 months<\/b>, with \u201c44% of firms expecting conditions to improve in the coming 12 months. Some pointed to planned business development as a key reason underpinning confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Egypt is not alone \u2014 global PMI output levels were at a 33-month low<\/b>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ihsmarkit.com\/research-analysis\/worldwide-manufacturing-growth-close-stalling-trade-flows-deteriorate.html?itq=52e3da21-f48e-4390-a19b-28bb042c87b9\">according to Markit<\/a>. Worldwide PMI surveys point to a stagnation in global manufacturing levels, with 13 out of 30 countries included in the global survey reporting a decline in manufacturing \u201camid a faster decline of global trade flows. Export sales fell for a sixth straight month, with the rate of decrease accelerating.\u201d Falling export orders were also reported by nearly two-thirds of the countries in the survey.<\/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\/economy\/\">economy<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/pmi\/\">PMI<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/speed-round\/\">SPEED ROUND<\/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=\"601652\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"601653\" 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=\"601653\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Up Next<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/03\/06\/what-were-tracking-this-week-and-beyond-33\/\">\r\n                            What we\u2019re tracking this week and beyond                        <\/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\/03\/06\/what-were-tracking-this-week-and-beyond-33\/\" 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 economic forecasting company says in its latest MENA outlook that OPEC\u2019s voluntary production cuts result in a \u201csharp reduction in GDP growth\u201d among oil-dependent economies albeit as it increases fiscal stability. As a result Focus Economics has left its MENA GDP forecast unchanged at 1.9% in 2019 and 2.8% in 2020. Unrest is also a key downside risk,with the eruption of protests in Algeria against President Abdelaziz Bouteflika\u2019s rule and the potential for labor unrest in Tunisia.<\/p>\n<p><b>Everything is looking up for Egypt, though<\/b>. Egypt is still expected to be the top-performing MENA country in terms of GDP, with 5.3% growth in 2019 that will accelerate to 5.4% in 2020. Focus Economics expects inflation to average 12.1% through 2019 and cool to 10.8% in 2020, which would give the Central Bank of Egypt the breathing room to make further rate cuts over the next two years. The firm projects an overnight deposit rate of 14.93% by the end of 2019 (from 15.75% currently) and 13.46% in 2020. As for exchange rates, Focus Economics sees the EGP weakening against the USD as the CBE continues to ease, finishing 2019 at EGP 18.30 per USD, and 2020 at EGP 18.79 per USD.<\/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\/economy\/\">economy<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/gdp\/\">GDP<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/inflation\/\">inflation<\/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\/mena\/\">MENA<\/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=\"601656\" 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=\"601656\">\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\">EGYPT IN THE NEWS<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/03\/06\/hrw-issues-another-attack-on-egypts-human-rights-record\/\">\r\n                            HRW issues another attack on Egypt\u2019s human rights record                        <\/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\/03\/06\/hrw-issues-another-attack-on-egypts-human-rights-record\/\" 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();

football.<\/b> Manchester United\u2019s post-2013 experience on the football pitch cannot by any stretch of the imagination be called a success. The departure of legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson created a void at the club, one that none of his successors has been able to fill. For the most successful team in Premier League history, the trophies dried up, title hopes faded, and laughter replaced envy among rival fans. And yet, Manchester United can still mount a strong case for being one of the top three biggest clubs in the world alongside Real Madrid and Barcelona. In 2018 they comfortably had the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/the-20-most-popular-rich-list-football-teams-on-social-media-2018-8\">third-largest online fanbase<\/a> and during the 2017\/18 season they were the highest earning club in the world, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/enterprise.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/deloitte-uk-deloitte-football-money-league-2019.pdf\">Deloitte\u2019s Football Money League.<\/a> And with a stock market cap of around USD 4.12 bn, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/kurtbadenhausen\/2018\/07\/18\/full-list-the-worlds-50-most-valuable-sports-teams-of-2018\/#5c88a3996b0e\">they are the second most valuable sports team<\/a> in the world behind only the NFL\u2019s Dallas Cowboys. If the club\u2019s poor performances become further entrenched though, continued financial success may not be sustainable, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/842e0290-39f5-11e9-b856-5404d3811663\">the FT writes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Record revenues: <\/b>Despite the hardships faced by the club on the pitch, United\u2019s earnings have continued to break club records with each passing season with TV rights and sponsorship agreements. It seems that in the 21st century, football teams may not require sporting success to become successful financially. Taking it straight from the horse\u2019s mouth: \u201cPlaying performance doesn\u2019t really have a meaningful impact on what we can do on the commercial side of the business,\u201d the club\u2019s executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward told analysts last year.<\/p>\n<p><b>Is money really enough? <\/b>The club may be in for a wake-up call if on-pitch results do not begin to improve. Failing to reach the Champions League for two successive seasons would activate a clause in the club\u2019s 10-year, GBP 750 mn Adidas contract that would see club will miss out on GBP 21 mn for each year it is outside the competition. And although the United brand is well established, Deutsche Bank analysts say that it could take damage if the team is not regularly featured in the top competitions. Besides, even if financial success is truly detached from on-field performance, for football fans should beg the question: Is money really enough? \u201cWe need to win,\u201d United CFO Cliff Baty told the FT. \u201cAnd we won\u2019t need to win just to be successful [commercially], we just need to win because ultimately that\u2019s our raison d\u2019\u00eatre.\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\/sports\/\">sports<\/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=\"601660\" 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=\"601660\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">9<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Worth Listening<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/03\/06\/em-growth-potential-and-the-factors-impacting-it\/\">\r\n                            EM growth potential and the factors impacting it                        <\/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\/03\/06\/em-growth-potential-and-the-factors-impacting-it\/\" 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();

Evans highlights EM equities and Chinese equities as being particularly attractive. \u201cIf you\u2019re looking for a growth story, there are valuation and growth opportunities still in emerging markets, and China is leading the way there,\u201d he said. \u201cWe like EM equities and we like Chinese equities,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><b>Even if there is a US-China trade agreement, don\u2019t expect the tariffs to vanish overnight, <\/b>Evans says, suggesting that The Donald\u2019s protectionist tendencies are a fundamental part of his administration. Where will he turn his attention next?

The platform will also eventually allow startups to get in touch with investors and public bodies. Research by the International Data Corporation (IDC) recently found that cloud services could create almost 100,000 jobs by the end of 2022, <a href=\"http:\/\/enterprise.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/05-Mar-2019-FINAL-ENG.pdf\">Microsoft claimed in a press release<\/a>. The IDC has predicted that the Egyptian government will significantly up-scale its investment in cloud services to USD 162.6 mn by 2022, up from just USD 48.5 mn in 2017. This level of funding would create around 69,570 new jobs, while the adoption of Microsoft\u2019s tech infrastructure would add an additional 30,540 positions. Meanwhile, the government\u2019s total IT spending is projected to rise to USD 1.17 bn over the next three years, leading to 417,135 new IT jobs.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content
