The fifth review is scheduled for completion on or after 20 June, paving the way for the disbursement of the sixth and final USD 2 bn tranche of the USD 12 bn loan. The team conducting the review will be in town in May, Egypt Mission Chief and Assistant Director for Middle East and Central Asia Department Subir Lall said <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/04\/03\/imf-sings-the-praises-of-egypt-stresses-private-sector-development\/\">last week<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Read the report:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imf.org\/en\/Publications\/CR\/Issues\/2019\/04\/05\/Arab-Republic-of-Egypt-Fourth-Review-Under-the-Extended-Arrangement-Under-the-Extended-Fund-46738\">Tap or click here<\/a> for the landing page or <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2019\/4\/2747.pdf\">download directly here (pdf)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>You can expect 92-octane gasoline prices to rise sometime in September: <\/b>Fuel subsidy reforms are on track, the IMF writes, with the government expected to lift all subsidies (apart from on liquified petroleum gas and fuel oil used for electricity and bakeries) by the end of FY2018-19. The <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/04\/01\/govt-leaves-95-octane-price-on-hold-as-fuel-pricing-mechanism-is-introduced\/\">recent indexing of the price at the pump to global fuel prices<\/a> for 95-octane petrol will be rolled out to fuel stocks on 5 June, and the first price adjustment is scheduled for the end of 3Q2019. Plans to fully eliminate electricity subsidies by the end of FY2020-21 are also on course.<\/p>\n<p><b>The IMF still sees Egypt\u2019s economy growing at a 5.9% clip in the coming financial year<\/b> and at a 6% pace in FY2020-21. The government debt-to-GDP ratio has also markedly improved amid fiscal consolidation and is expected to continue falling over the coming years. The fund sees debt-to-GDP falling to 86% by the end of FY2018-19, and continuing to decline to reach 71% in FY2023-24. Meanwhile, the government is on track to hit its 2% FY2018-19 primary surplus target, and the overall deficit is expected to narrow to 8.3%.<\/p>\n<p><b>Inflation forecasts have fallen slightly since the third review,<\/b> with the IMF now predicting 10.7% consumer price inflation by the end of the upcoming fiscal year compared to a previous forecast of 10.9%.<\/p>\n<p><b>Don\u2019t expect single digit inflation until the end of the 2020-2021 fiscal year<\/b>, by which time inflation should be at a 7.7% clip before falling further to below 6.9% in FY2022-2023. In the interim, the fund is expecting 13-14% inflation by the end of the current fiscal year as subsidy cuts and seasonal factors produce upward pressure on prices. The single-digit inflation target will continue to heavily factor in monetary policy decisions, the IMF says, adding that policy will \u201cremain restrictive to contain possible second-round effects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>The EGP-USD exchange rate has remained stable<\/b> but the against other trading partner currencies the EGP has appreciated in nominal and real effective terms. The fund warns that further appreciation could hurt the government\u2019s attempts to tackle the current account deficit.<\/p>\n<p><b>Foreign currency reserves are currently above the fund\u2019s reserve adequacy metric,<\/b> and are expected to rise to USD 44.9 bn by the end of the current fiscal year before hitting USD 50.8 bn in 2022-23.<\/p>\n<p><b>Net foreign direct investment meanwhile will grow moderately over the coming years<\/b> rising to USD 11.3 bn from USD 9.5 bn in FY2019-20 before reaching USD 16.9 bn in FY2022-23.<\/p>\n<p><b>Global financial conditions are worsening<\/b> and the Madbouly government will need to maintain \u201cconsistent policy implementation\u201d if it is going to continue to benefit from the reform program. Public debt levels could come under pressure by an increase in real interest rates or a sharp fall in the EGP. Limited flexibility in the exchange rate continue to hamper inflows into the local treasury market while banks remain exposed to the EGP due to their short positions on foreign currency. Although the government\u2019s record of commitment to reform somewhat mitigates these risks, deteriorating external conditions make it all the more important that Egypt pursues greater exchange rate flexibility, the fund 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\/debt\/\">debt<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/development\/\">development<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/economic-reform-program\/\">economic reform program<\/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                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/sustainability\/\">sustainability<\/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=\"602790\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"602791\" 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=\"602791\">\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\">Spotlight<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/04\/07\/amcham-wraps-up-easiest-doorknock-mission-in-dc\/\">\r\n                            AmCham wraps up \u201ceasiest\u201d Doorknock mission in DC                        <\/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\/07\/amcham-wraps-up-easiest-doorknock-mission-in-dc\/\" 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();

Critics of the proposed changes to the constitution expressed concern that the judiciary\u2019s independence would be undermined. Corporate America is also welcoming of a US-Egypt trade agreement, which Egypt-US Business Council Chairman Omar Mohanna said could come to fruition under the current US administration.<\/p>\n<p><b>Egypt needs to \u201cretell its story\u201d to improve its image in Washington<\/b>, Republican Congressman Jeff Fortenberry told reporters during the mission. Egypt-US relations have been \u201coutsourced\u201d to military brass on both sides \u2014 which has come at the expense of other aspects, including cultural and media cooperation, Fortenberry said. Egypt must do a better job of highlighting its efforts to create conditions for stability and promote healthy nationalism, he added. Everyone should be made aware of the \u201cincalculable\u201d consequences of Egypt\u2019s stability being shaken, but \u201cEgypt has to get over its entitlement mindset that it deserves to be the leader of the Arab world and has to go re-earn that position,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><b>At the World Bank, there is nothing but love for Egypt:<\/b> Egypt\u2019s position in the Doing Business Report is expected to improve this year as we push ahead with \u201cthe first reform program that Egypt completes successfully,\u201d Alternate Executive at the Board of the World Bank Ragui El Etreby told reporters. Our risk conditions are improving, but the ballooning population remains a point of concern, El Etreby said. Executive Director Merza Hasan was also full of praise for Egypt\u2019s \u201csmart\u201d use of debt to build infrastructure and improve the business environment.<\/p>\n<p><b>Speaking of debt:<\/b> The issue of rising levels of global debt is expected to feature heavily on the World Bank\u2019s agenda during its upcoming spring meetings, Hasan said. The bank is also set to discuss a new strategy to give more loans to more vulnerable countries or those in conflict and incorporating women and immigrants while keeping in mind climate change in the projects and financing they provide.<\/p>\n<p><b>Newly-elected World Bank President David Malpass could pay us a visit soon<\/b>, particularly as he has singled out Egypt as a \u201cpriority country\u201d with which he wants to strengthen the bank\u2019s relationship, El Etreby said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Egypt and the WB are also in talks for a digital infrastructure development loan<\/b>, and should reach an agreement this year, El Etreby said, without disclosing the size of the facility. A separate USD 200 mn could also make its way to Egypt to support SMEs, but the government has yet to request any loans to plug the state budget financing gap.<\/p>\n<p><b>Key takeaways from a panel held by the Middle East Institute on the Egyptian economy<\/b>, which featured AmCham President Tarek Tawfik, Shahid Law Firm Managing Partner Girgis Abdel Shahid, CID Consulting Chairman Dalia Wahba, and ECOnsult Architecture Chairman Sarah El Battouty:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Implementation of regulatory reforms<\/b> and getting rid of red tape are the biggest challenges facing the economy;<\/li>\n<li><b>The private sector\u2019s contribution to the economy<\/b> should eventually grow to 70% of GDP from 45% today;<\/li>\n<li><b>The military is not crowding out the private sector<\/b> and its involvement in the economy is to fulfill infrastructure needs at a high speed;<\/li>\n<li>The natural gas and railway <b>monopolies are slowly being undone<\/b>;<\/li>\n<li>Efforts are needed to enhance <b>women\u2019s employment and stymie the brain drain<\/b>;<\/li>\n<li><b>Egypt is the hub for startups in the Middle East<\/b> but needs to be more accommodating to remain competitive;<\/li>\n<li><b>Liberalizing electricity and gas,<\/b> the Industrial Permits Act and the Cyber Crimes Act are key to the transformation of Egypt\u2019s business environment;<\/li>\n<li><b>The cost and speed of law enforcement<\/b> are key concerns with the judicial system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\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\/amcham\/\">AmCham<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/human-rights\/\">human rights<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/merza-hasan\/\">Merza Hasan<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/trade\/\">trade<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/us\/\">US<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/world-bank\/\">World Bank<\/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=\"602793\" 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=\"602793\">\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\/04\/07\/human-rights-leads-the-conversation-on-egypt-in-the-foreign-press-3\/\">\r\n                            Human rights leads the conversation on Egypt in the foreign press                        <\/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\/07\/human-rights-leads-the-conversation-on-egypt-in-the-foreign-press-3\/\" 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();

MMORPGs (think World of Warcraft) are games where players are constantly generating unlimited quantities of currency through feats such as killing monsters or completing quests. This is a sure route toward hyperinflation and would send any real world economy to ruins.<\/p>\n<p><b>The solution: keep FX reserves. <\/b>Real world economies have for years kept foreign reserves in the bank to prevent their local currency from plummeting beyond a certain level. This is equally true in MMOs, where some developers now allow players to buy \u201creal-world value\u201d using in-game gold coins. They created a channel for a stash of a bn coins in WoW, for example, to be worth some amount in USD. The realization that in-game economies essentially mirror the real world ended the previously used \u201cmoney sinks\u201d, which worked by forcing players to pay in-game taxes and fees to drive money out of the system. The gamers realized there is no way to build a sink that is wide enough without making the game less enjoyable, and so got creative.<\/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\/gaming\/\">gaming<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/monetary-policy\/\">monetary policy<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/worth-watching\/\">worth watching<\/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=\"602797\" 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=\"602797\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">8<\/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\/04\/07\/el-sisi-russian-fm-discuss-resuming-russian-flights-to-red-sea\/\">\r\n                            El Sisi, Russian FM discuss resuming Russian flights to Red Sea                        <\/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\/07\/el-sisi-russian-fm-discuss-resuming-russian-flights-to-red-sea\/\" 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();
