last night<\/p>\n<p><b>Egypt\u2019s economy is doing well, part XXVI: <\/b>Egypt\u2019s economic reform program has received \u201cencouraging signs and praise songs from the local and international investment community,\u201d Maait said after convening with heads of international investment banks on the sidelines of the meetings, according to Hona Al Asema\u2019s Reham Ibrahim (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qu0gVhe58mQ\">watch, runtime: 10:31<\/a>). Ibrahim also rang up Youm7\u2019s Ahmed Yacoub, who covers the economy beat. Yacoub said discussions held by Maait and Central Bank of Egypt Governor Tarek Amer during the meetings show that there is \u201cgreat confidence\u201d in Egypt\u2019s economy going forward, citing the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/04\/02\/world-bank-sees-egypts-gdp-rising-6-in-2021\/\">World Bank MENA report<\/a>.

Rep. Mohamed El Etmany reportedly suggested that any lengthening of presidential terms should be applied retroactively. This would mean adding an extra four years (two for each of El Sisi\u2019s two terms) before he is then eligible to run for an additional two six-year terms under the transitional clause. If passed, that would mean that El Sisi\u2019s current term would end in 2026, instead of 2022. He would then be eligible to run in the two following presidential elections.<\/p>\n<p><b>Background:<\/b> Prior to El Etmany\u2019s suggestion, the amendments would have allowed El Sisi to remain in power until 2034. The proposal to amend presidential term limits comes as part of a package of several other proposed constitutional amendments, including bringing back the Shura Council, granting the president the authority to appoint judges and the prosecutor general, and deepening the role of the Armed Forces, <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/02\/06\/houses-general-assembly-gives-nod-to-constitutional-amendments\/\">among a host of other suggestions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Women\u2019s election quota could be slashed as well:<\/b> Proposed amendments that would introduce a quota for women members of parliament could also be watered down to 15% from the original suggestion of 25%, according to Youm7.

Jumia raised USD 196 mn after selling 13.5 mn shares at USD 14.50 apiece,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2019-04-12\/jumia-raises-196-million-as-africa-s-amazon-lists-in-new-york\">Bloomberg reports<\/a>. We had a chat with Jumia Egypt CEO Hesham Safwat to break down what the listing means for the company and the way forward for e-commerce in Egypt.<\/p>\n<p><b>The IPO will boost confidence and consequently business<\/b>, particularly \u201cfor investors who see Africa as challenging, as well as sellers and customers who still see e-commerce as a black box,\u201d Safwat said. \u201cThis would create more variety in products and more competition so that customers can find the best prices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Jumia isn\u2019t profitable yet, but the share sale process reflects optimism:<\/b> \u201cOur losses are between EUR 120 mn and EUR 150 mn per year, but we are still growing the business and this is just the start of another phase in Jumia's journey,\u201d Safwat said. \u201cInvestors like the potential. when they see the high growth which is still in the beginning. Also Africa is the fastest growing continent and there are 700 mn internet users in the countries we operate in and rising.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>So when should we expect profitability?<\/b> The company\u2019s loss-to-revenue ratio fell to 20% in 2018 from 32% in 2017 and is expected to fall further in 2019, indicating the company is moving toward profitability, Safwat said. Jumia recorded EUR 828 mn in revenues in 2018 \u2014 a 63% increase compared to 2017. Gross profit increased 62% y-o-y to EUR 45 mn in 2018.<b> In Egypt,<\/b> revenues grew by 80% y-o-y in 2018 and the company is eyeing a 75% y-o-y increase in 2019. \u201cWe are building a sector, not a company, so we are subsidizing the service to build a market. Otherwise, we can be profitable if we put the real price of the service,\u201d Safwat said.<\/p>\n<p><b>The <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/11\/21\/e-commerce-act-to-be-ready-in-1q2019\/\"><b>E-commerce Act<\/b><\/a><b> should not treat all online entities as equals:<\/b> The law should differentiate between various types of e-commerce \u2014 whether online malls like Jumia, companies websites and individual social media pages \u2014 and there should be support and incentives for this sector. \u201cWe create jobs, reduce costs of stores, open up trading opportunities and reduce the cost of electricity and fuel. What we want is for the government to incentivize companies to move to online trading,\u201d Safwat said. On the flipside, Safwat sees the Finance Ministry\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/04\/03\/finmin-looks-to-tax-the-living-daylights-out-of-social-media-ads-e-commerce-players\/\">plans to tax online sales<\/a> as beneficial, since it would better regulate the sector and improve its reputation.<\/p>\n<p><b>Government support is important:<\/b> \u201cThis is a new phase in which we need the government's support for this sector mainly through reducing taxes,\u201d Safwat said. \u201cThe government is trying to regulate the informal sector and the best way to do this is put them under e-commerce umbrellas like Jumia and giving them incentives to become part of the formal economy,\u201d he 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\/e-commerce\/\">e-commerce<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/ipo-watch\/\">IPO watch<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/jumia\/\">Jumia<\/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=\"603047\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"603048\" 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=\"603048\">\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\/14\/egypt-in-the-news-on-14-april-2019\/\">\r\n                            Egypt in the News on 14 April 2019                        <\/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\/14\/egypt-in-the-news-on-14-april-2019\/\" 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();
