the nation\u2019s airwaves.<\/p>\n<p><b>Are economic progress reports telling the full picture?<\/b> Despite many positive reports on the economy by international bodies and research houses, most Egyptians feel they aren\u2019t faring any better. That was the opening salvo for a conversation between Masaa DMC\u2019s Osama Kamal and Arab Academy for Science Technology visiting professor of management Sherif Delawar (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hZHHYPyb92w\">watch, runtime: 4:37<\/a>). The key, Delawar said, is that financial institutions who tend to see the economy in isolation.<\/p>\n<p><b>We should be paying more attention to institutions with multidisciplinary approaches<\/b>, he added, citing as an example socioeconomic reports by the UN or the World Economic Forum that address \u201cevery aspect of citizen welfare.\u201d Delawar pointed out that there have been improvements including a rise in export revenues for the first time in 15 years and progressive legislation.

BdC is led by Tarek Fayed as chairman and CEO, who recently sat down with us for the latest installment in our <b>Coffee With\u2026 series<\/b>. The most latest on that transaction: It will likely happen this year and see the bank offer 20-30% of its equity for sale, CBE Governor Tarek Amer <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/04\/16\/government-plans-to-offer-up-to-30-of-banque-du-caire-in-ipo-this-year\/\">said earlier this week<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Who is Tarek Fayed? <\/b>Prior to joining Banque du Caire in January 2018, Fayed held posts in Egypt and abroad with Citibank, the Egyptian American Bank, and Samba, where he worked in areas including corporate and investment banking, risk management and audit. Fayed also had a distinguished career in public service, having served as sub-governor of the Central Bank of Egypt, where he oversaw the development of a number of regulatory guidelines and mechanisms. He also represented the CBE on the boards of banks including the Agriculture Bank, United Bank, and Arab International Bank.<\/p>\n<p><b>BdC has embarked on an ambitious turnaround<\/b>, reporting a 207% jump in net profit after tax to EGP 2.5 bn in 2018, up from EGP 808 mn a year earlier, while undertaking an expansion in the region and services.<\/p>\n<p><b>Key takeaways from our conversation:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fayed\u2019s turnaround strategy rested on building staff capabilities, technology infrastructure, and adopting a customer-centric approach;<\/li>\n<li>The bank's corporate banking portfolio grew 80% y-o-y on the back of a restructured department, while total customer loans grew 50% y-o-y;<\/li>\n<li>Financial inclusion has become a major focus at the bank through SME and microfinance lending;<\/li>\n<li>The bank is looking to expand regionally in East Africa and the GCC through offices and subsidiaries in Uganda and the UAE;<\/li>\n<li>BdC is internally ready for the IPO and is awaiting a decision by stakeholders and regulators;<\/li>\n<li>The market is awaiting single digit inflation before CAPEX comes back.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Enterprise: Let\u2019s start with the bank\u2019s performance based on the recent release of your financial results. How did this unfold?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Tarek Fayed:<\/b> We first had to formulate a very clear strategy for the bank and a strong growth map to achieve our objectives. We strongly believe that the two pillars that we needed to work on were people and infrastructure, including restructuring within existing departments across the bank. We hired a very strong caliber of people to fill in the gaps and our focus on the rest of the employees was to set clear objectives and focus on training and capacity building.<\/p>\n<p><b>We rebuilt our corporate banking division and we\u2019ve added new departments<\/b> including the wholesale banking side\u2019s global transaction banking department, which takes care of our product offering for corporates, financial institutions and non-banking financial institutions \u2014 services ranging from cash management solutions and trade finance to customized business solutions. We also restructured our corporate finance and investment banking department by bringing in a high-caliber team. And we\u2019ve totally revamped our retail banking business and added new talent across the board, with a focus on introducing products and services tailored to a wide spectrum of retail customers and focusing on ancillary business and cross-selling opportunities.<\/p>\n<p><b>We\u2019re not there yet, we have lots of plans in terms of capacity building.<\/b> We have more than 7,500 employees, and we have to work hard at developing their skills. That\u2019s why we significantly increased our training budget in 2018 and increased the number of training hours for employees. Our main objective is to keep our people updated with the best international banking practice worldwide.<\/p>\n<p><b>On the technology front, we want to be at the forefront of digital banking,<\/b> and we have taken the time to build infrastructure and our core banking system, including signing last year with Temenos \u2014 one of the top global core banking system providers \u2014 to roll out their T24 system within 24-36 months. But we\u2019re not waiting until we finish our core banking system upgrade to introduce digital banking solutions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/2019\/04\/16\/coffee-banque-du-caire-chairman-ceo-tarek-fayed\/\"><b>Tap or click here<\/b><\/a> to continue reading our sit-down with Tarek Fayed.<\/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\/coffee-with\/\">Coffee With<\/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=\"603277\" 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=\"603277\">\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\">THE MACRO PICTURE<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/04\/17\/vulture-funds-eyeing-venezuela-hope-to-score-big-wins-from-crisis\/\">\r\n                            Vulture funds eyeing Venezuela hope to score big wins from crisis                        <\/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\/17\/vulture-funds-eyeing-venezuela-hope-to-score-big-wins-from-crisis\/\" 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();

Paul Singer\u2019s Elliott Management laid down the template for gunboat debt collection when it managed to reap USD 2.4 bn from the Argentinian government 15 years after it had defaulted. The FT says funds are now divided over whether suing the Venezuelan government has any legal basis, but all agree the timing is not quite right considering the food and humanitarian crises the country is facing.<\/p>\n<p><b>Predatory funds can still do good though<\/b>. Elliott Management\u2019s squeezing of the Argentinian government resulted in Italian pensioners getting paid, Wall Streeter-turned-academic at American University Arturo Porzecanski, points out. Italian bondholders received a USD 1.35 bn payment from the Argentinian government in 2016, thanks to Singer\u2019s pressure. Odette Lienau, a professor of law at Cornell University and Yale, also makes the argument that vulture funds are in a way holding government accountable for financial shortcomings or corruption.

The interviews <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalreserve.gov\/aboutthefed\/centennial\/federal-reserve-oral-history-interviews.htm\">took place<\/a> as part of an oral history project to mark the Fed\u2019s centennial in 2013, and were designed to be personal recollections.

The heart, about the size of a rabbit\u2019s, is the first to be printed with ink from the patient\u2019s own biological material, complete with blood vessels, ventricles, and chambers. From using 3D printing to upcycle food waste and sell it on to fancy restaurants, to printing food for caterers and bakeries, the 3D food printing industry is estimated to be worth USD 500 mn by 2023, according to a report by the FT. The trend in food tech doesn\u2019t stop there, though. The next stage is making food tailored to a person\u2019s DNA.
