markets should brace for an incoming storm: <\/b>History tells us that every monetary tightening cycle by the US Federal Reserve is followed by something getting broken in the global economy. With a storm currently brewing, emerging markets should take the necessary precautions to avoid being the victims, former Mexican finance minister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/5fb288da-40c8-11e9-9bee-efab61506f44\">Jos\u00e9 Antonio Gonz\u00e1lez writes for the FT<\/a>. The Fed began a tightening cycle in 2015 that has so far involved nine hikes \u2014 and more may be on the horizon. Higher US interest rates have preceded several financial crises in the past. \u201cA looming recession or deceleration in advanced economies will lower export demand, which, coupled with trade tensions, will probably cause commodity prices to fall, hurting export-dependent emerging market economies,\u201d Gonz\u00e1lez writes. \u201cRising interest rates in the developed economies will cause capital flow reversals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>So what should EM do to ward off a potential shock?<\/b> \u201cThere are no magic bullets. The best course of action is to make sure the basic macroeconomic indicators are in order,\u201d Gonz\u00e1lez says. He suggests that governments should narrow (or eliminate altogether) fiscal deficits, shift to local borrowing, borrow with longer maturities and fixed rates, and balance their external accounts.<\/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\/emerging-markets\/\">emerging markets<\/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                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/us-federal-reserve\/\">US Federal Reserve<\/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=\"601761\" 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=\"601761\">\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\/03\/10\/egypt-attends-worlds-largest-mining-convention-in-canada\/\">\r\n                            Egypt attends world\u2019s largest mining convention in Canada                        <\/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\/10\/egypt-attends-worlds-largest-mining-convention-in-canada\/\" 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();

roots of Egypt\u2019s 1919 Revolution:<\/b> The impact of the British occupation of Egypt in 1881 not only sowed the seeds of the country\u2019s 1919 revolution, but set in motion a pattern of inequality and wealth concentration that continued long after the British had been driven out, <a href=\"http:\/\/english.ahram.org.eg\/NewsContent\/1\/1199\/327837\/Egypt\/-REVOLUTION\/The-economic-roots-of-Egypts--Revolution.aspx\">Sherine Abdel-Razek writes for Ahram Online<\/a>. The article tells a familiar story of an exploitative colonial power controlling and profiting from the country\u2019s natural resources with an iron fist: crippling taxes on Egypt\u2019s textile industry, inflationary monetary policies and enforced dependency on cotton exports.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u201cThe ugliest of treacheries\u201d: <\/b>This state of affairs was allowed to continue after the First World War after US President Woodrow Wilson backtracked on his pledge to recognize the sovereignty of colonized peoples, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/03\/09\/opinion\/egypt-revolution-wilson.html\">Erez Manela recounts in an essay for the New York Times<\/a>. After the British arrested Saad Zaghloul \u2014 setting off a wave of demonstrations later to be called the 1919 Revolution \u2014 Egyptians called on Wilson to follow through on his rhetoric and help the country assert its right to self-determination. Their pleas fell on deaf ears: Wilson decided to recognize British control of the country, a move that leading Egyptian intellectual Mohammed Hussein Heikal described as \u201cthe ugliest of treacheries\u201d and \u201cthe most profound repudiation of principles.\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\/economy\/\">economy<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/politics\/\">politics<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/uk\/\">UK<\/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=\"601767\" 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=\"601767\">\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\">Diplomacy + Foreign Trade<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/03\/10\/world-bank-reviewing-its-strategy-with-egypt\/\">\r\n                            World Bank reviewing its strategy with Egypt                        <\/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\/10\/world-bank-reviewing-its-strategy-with-egypt\/\" 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();
