Economics:<\/b> The EGP will likely weaken by end-2019 as policymakers work to \u201csimplify the country\u2019s exchange rate setup,\u201d Capital Economics said in a research note out yesterday. Recent moves by the Finance Ministry and CBE including scrapping the discounted customs exchange rate for non-essential imports and terminating central bank\u2019s parallel FX repatriation mechanism \u201care steps in the right direction, [but] highlight that FX policy is still complex,\u201d the research house writes.<\/p>\n<p><b>Expect the EGP to slide \u201cmodestly\u201d against the greenback by the end of next year: <\/b>The moves come as there has been mounting speculation that the CBE was pushing state-owned banks to prop up the EGP \u2014 which Capital Economics <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/09\/06\/egp-could-lose-up-to-10-of-its-value-against-the-usd-by-2020\/\">was the first to flag<\/a>, with Reuters following suit <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/11\/28\/foreigners-dump-egyptian-debt-for-seventh-month-in-a-row-more-speculation-that-state-banks-are-propping-up-the-egp\/\">last month<\/a>. This policy, Capital Economics notes, will not be sustainable for much longer and \u201cthe next step is likely a reduction of backdoor FX intervention\u201d that will ultimately result in the EGP falling \u201cmodestly\u201d to EGP 19 against the greenback by the end of next year.<\/p>\n<p><b>Where do we stand on interest rates?<\/b> Capital Economics sees the CBE resuming its monetary easing cycle in early 2019, by which time it expects headline inflation to fall further. The CBE has kept interest rates on hold since May to help contain inflation and slow down outflows of hot money from Egypt amid the emerging markets sell-off.<\/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\/capital-economics\/\">Capital Economics<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/egp\/\">EGP<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/interest-rates\/\">interest rates<\/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                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"604977\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"604978\" 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=\"604978\">\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\">Up Next<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/12\/18\/what-were-tracking-this-week-and-beyond-45\/\">\r\n                            What we\u2019re tracking this week and beyond                        <\/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\/2018\/12\/18\/what-were-tracking-this-week-and-beyond-45\/\" 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();

On 17 December 1991, the Salem Express sailed from Jeddah to Egypt\u2019s Safaga Port with 690 people onboard, mostly Egyptians returning from pilgrimage.

Some 470 passengers went down with the ship and the remaining passengers were left in frigid water for nine hours before being rescued. Only 178 people survived the sinking, one of Egypt\u2019s worst maritime disasters.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div
