We had <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/04\/02\/world-bank-sees-egypts-gdp-rising-6-in-2021\/\">the full breakdown<\/a> of the findings in yesterday\u2019s issue.<\/p>\n<p><b>World Bank numbers consistent with gov\u2019t figures: <\/b>Al Hayah Al Youm\u2019s Khaled Abu Bakr pointed out that a big part of the report\u2019s supported the Sisi administration\u2019s core message (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fBCs6HErENU\">watch, runtime: 2:36<\/a>). He also took note of an ongoing visit to Washington, DC, by a group of senior government officials laying the groundwork for the president\u2019s expected trip to DC on 9 April. We have more on the visit in Diplomacy + Foreign Trade, below.<\/p>\n<p><b>The bank\u2019s forecasts for GDP growth lean toward the \u201cconservative\u201d side,<\/b> General Authority for Freezones and Investment (GAFI) head Mohsen Adel told Abou Bakr, who called the GAFI boss up to get his two cents (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8NrqStmuCxk\">watch, runtime: 5:48<\/a>). The government is expecting to achieve higher rates amid falling inflation and more breathing room for expansionary policy. Egypt has already outpaced the bank\u2019s projections with growth rates of c. 5.3% in 1Q2018-2019, c. 5.6% in 2Q18-19, and will soon announce last quarter\u2019s figure. President Abdel Fattah El Sisi\u2019s \u201cstrong decision\u201d to raise public wages will also provide an extra push in a timely manner, Adel added.<\/p>\n<p><b>We are beginning to \u201ctackle structural, legislative, and investment-related\u201d impediments to growth, <\/b>Banque Misr Vice President Sahar El Damaty said in a separate phone-in with Hona Al Asema\u2019s (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mP3_h3nsrfE\">watch, runtime: 8:11<\/a>).The bank\u2019s positive forecasts paint a picture of industrial growth, job creation, and growth in investment and exports, El Damaty added.<\/p>\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\/enterprise-last-nights-talk-shows\/\">Enterprise+: Last Night\u2019s Talk Shows<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/policy\/\">policy<\/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=\"602671\" 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=\"602671\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">3<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Speed Round<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/04\/03\/abraaj-lps-vote-to-give-actis-the-right-to-manage-defunct-firms-sub-saharan-africa-asia-funds\/\">\r\n                            Abraaj LPs vote to give Actis the right to manage defunct firm\u2019s sub-Saharan Africa, Asia funds                        <\/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\/04\/03\/abraaj-lps-vote-to-give-actis-the-right-to-manage-defunct-firms-sub-saharan-africa-asia-funds\/\" 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 debt-to-GDP ratio in emerging markets came in at 212% in 2018.<\/p>\n<p><b>But government debt in emerging markets climbed to a record 49.7% of GDP,<\/b> with the highest in the Asian and Latin American regions. The increased debt service bills \u201cthreatens productive allocation of public resources,\u201d despite low borrowing costs, the report notes.<\/p>\n<p><b>Egypt \u2014 along with Lebanon and Brazil<\/b> \u2014 is one of the countries most threatened by public resource misallocation. The IIF did not take this observation further, but added that some USD 1.7 tn in EM bonds and loans (including Egypt\u2019s) will mature in 2019, making it the most costly refinancing year in a decade. Overall EM debt servicing needs will normalize in 2020, the report adds.<\/p>\n<p><b>Global debt also grew at a considerably slower rate in 2018 <\/b>than the year before, with only USD 3.3 tn added globally compared to USD 21 tn. The slowdown was primarily driven by Europe and China, with all of the increase coming in 1Q2018 when debt hit a record high of USD 248 tn. It then fell in the second quarter to reach USD 243.2 tn by the year-end, up from USD 239.9 tn in 2017.
