The jump was driven primarily by \u201crenewed IPO activity on the Casablanca Stock Exchange and a near doubling in value of IPO proceeds on the EGX compared to the prior year,\u201d the report says. The four IPOs on the EGX last year raised USD 315 mn, compared to USD 179 mn raised through four IPOs in 2017. Over the course of 2014-2018, the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) has accounted for the lion\u2019s share of IPO activity and value in Africa\u2019s capital markets with USD 5.9 bn raised over 43 transactions.

Analysts at EPFR Global have reported 10 consecutive weeks of large inflows into hard currency emerging market debt. And although appetite for local currency-denominated fixed-income assets has waned, interest in hard currency debt has \u201cmore than made up for it.\u201d As it currently stands, there isn\u2019t much more space for continued upside on EM investment, indicating that the tide could soon turn against investors who may have been a little bit too bullish on EMs after last year\u2019s sell-off. When sentiment enters \u201cexuberance\u201d territory, a sell-off usually follows, but brighter global prospects could further bolster investments in EM, Smith says.<\/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\/investment-watch\/\">investment watch<\/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=\"602125\" 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=\"602125\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">5<\/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\/19\/trella-planning-to-scale-up-step-by-step\/\">\r\n                            Trella planning to scale up \u201cstep-by-step\u201d                        <\/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\/19\/trella-planning-to-scale-up-step-by-step\/\" 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();

initial coin offerings are coming to MENA, courtesy of the Emiratis: <\/b>Safe, investor friendly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/i\/initial-coin-offering-ico.asp\">initial coin offerings<\/a> (ICOs) are set to debut in the Middle East and North Africa as the UAE takes the lead, placing itself among the first in the world to step in and regulate ICOs, Matt Smith <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wamda.com\/2019\/03\/icos-better-way-raise-money?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=weekly\">writes for Wamda<\/a>. The Emirati Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) announced last December it would introduce rules to govern ICOs by the end of June.<\/p>\n<p><b>What on earth are ICOs? <\/b>As the name suggests, ICOs are the rough, cryptocurrency-based equivalents of IPOs \u2014 a crowdfunding method and essentially a way to speculate on cryptocurrencies. They are today\u2019s biggest trend in the crypto-world. An ICO works in similar ways and achieves the same aims of IPOs. But instead of issuing shares, a company issues a coin, or token, of its own making, and offers it to investors as a blockchain project associated with a quality <a href=\"https:\/\/blockgeeks.com\/guides\/crypto-whitepaper\/\">whitepaper<\/a>. Willing investors then purchase the tokens for their price-equivalent in other, more widespread coins, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, or just plain flat currencies. Unlike IPOs, however, investors cannot claim stakes in, and do not receive dividends from, the issuing companies.<\/p>\n<p><b>Is this just another crypto fad? <\/b>ICOs raised USD 5.6 bn in 2017 alone, and some USD 6.3 bn in the first four and a half months of 2018, <a href=\"https:\/\/blockgeeks.com\/guides\/initial-coin-offering\/\">according to figures cited by Blockgeeks<\/a>. But ICOs have gained a reputation of attracting ponzi schemers and con artists, mainly because they are subject to little regulation and a lack of required paperwork.
