Some USD 180 bn of the projected gap is in transport, while water infrastructure needs USD 45 bn in investment above current baseline projections.<\/p>\n<p><b>Pay attention to agriculture and energy, too: <\/b>While the investment gap is significantly lower here, the agriculture and agribusiness sector accounts for 30% of GDP and \u201chas the highest potential for job creation\u201d among the four priority sectors the Madbouly government and the World Bank identified for the study.<\/p>\n<p><b>Before you get too down, remember: This means massive potential investments. <\/b>The solution? Empower the private sector, the WB says, and transition from \u201ctaxpayer funding to user funding\u201d \u2014 with plenty of emphasis on public-private partnerships.<\/p>\n<p>Among the World Bank\u2019s key recommendations by sector:<\/p>\n<p><b>Transport: <\/b>A USD 10 bn, 10-year investment plan to rehabilitate the railroad. Also: \u201cInvite the private sector to develop \u2026 container and cargo terminals, river transport, railway projects, dry ports, bus rapid transit and light rail.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Energy: <\/b>USD 10 bn in fresh investment to upgrade and build new refineries. Also: Build another 3.6 GW in generation capacity right away to \u201celiminate power outages,\u201d bring the private sector into a liberalized electricity market, and find new ways to promote private investment in renewables.<\/p>\n<p><b>Agriculture: <\/b>Improve water management systems and irrigation networks, reclaim more land, develop logistics networks that will sharply cut the massive percentage of crops lost between farm and market, develop the food processing industry through \u201cefficiently located agro-industrial parks\u201d and restructure the Agricultural Bank of Egypt.<\/p>\n<p><b>Water and wastewater: <\/b>The recommendations are the most bland here, talking about \u201cfiscal policy reforms to encourage sustainable consumption patterns of water\u201d (we\u2019re reading that as \u201cprice hikes\u201d), improved management systems and awareness campaigns.<\/p>\n<p><b>But all of this will need the government to loosen price controls<\/b>, stick to a clear policy framework against which businesses can budget and plan \u2014 and develop the ability of state institutions to run as full partners of the private sector by improving their abilities to plan and manage bid processes.<\/p>\n<p><b>The document is more than 100pp long. What should I read? <\/b>Page 5 focuses on short-term solutions for each sector \u2014 it\u2019s essentially a great list of business ideas if you let your mind wander as you read.

Goldman\u2019s outlook recognized that the underperformance of EM assets in 2018 was due to \u201clower-than-expected growth in EM markets.\u201d GS sees the outlook for EM improving in 2019, noting that emerging markets are in the early phases of a longer-term expansion.<\/p>\n<p><b>EM equities are \u201ctrading at an attractive 25% discount to DM<\/b> equities while offering potentially higher expected earnings growth.\u201d Emerging economies are in the \u201cearly stages of recovery with room to run\u201d \u2014 at the same time as US growth will likely remain moderate.<\/p>\n<p><b>Goldman also likes EM currencies<\/b>, saying they\u2019re undervalued by as much as 23%.<\/p>\n<p><b>Goldman sees China as the biggest EM risk factor: <\/b>China is the \u201cbiggest risk to our view in both 2019 and over the medium- to long-term,\u201d singling out \u201cvast credit creation in recent years,\u201d which it says will present risks as \u201cgrowth transitions to a lower trend level and rotates from investment- to consumption-led.\u201d With trade wars looming, China\u2019s 6.9% growth forecast (already its lowest since the \u201890s) looks iffy.

(There is some irony in this: Cleopatra was established in 1961 at the request of then-president Gamal Abdel Nasser, who wanted a local version of his preferred American Kents.) Montenegro ignored diplomatic overtures and warnings from Egypt, Britain, and the EU itself, who suspected that the fakes were being smuggled across the Mediterranean to Libya and transported from there to Egypt.<\/p>\n<p><b>This was no small operation.<\/b> Officially, the Montenegrin factory was contracted by an offshore company called Liberty to produce 400 mn packs, or about eight bn individual cigarettes, between 2010 and 2016. British customs officials estimated that number at 100 mn cigarettes per month. There is an ongoing EU investigation into the movement of \u2018cheap white\u2019 cigarettes through Montenegro. The estimated number of counterfeit cigarettes on the Egyptian market skyrocketed to 20% in 2012 from less than 1% in 2010.<\/p>\n<p><b>Though Liberty claims they have a trademark registration for Cleopatra<\/b>, the Eastern Company, which owns Cleopatra brand cigarettes, said it did not license the brand to Liberty. Even if Liberty had a trademark for the Montenegrin factory, it would only be valid in Montenegro. That same factory also produced smaller quantities of Tunisian Mars 20, Algerian Rym and Libyan Riyadi.
