topics ranging from emerging market troubles, to the government\u2019s new Hep C campaign, and overcrowding of public school classrooms.<\/p>\n<p>The lone bright spot: <strong>Egypt is faring better than most of its emerging market peers<\/strong>, EFG Hermes Head of Research Ahmed Shams Eldin told Hona Al Asema\u2019s Reham Ibrahim. He pointed out that high foreign debt levels are the main challenge facing most EMs today, but said that Egypt\u2019s debt levels \u2014 while still high \u2014 are within relatively safe bounds (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nuO3DQqvsvc\">watch, runtime: 2:36<\/a>). You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0BoSLrXPTMo\">watch the full interview here, runtime: 30:28<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The government is launching today a national campaign to treat Hepatitis C<\/strong>, which will take off in nine governorates in phaes one, among them South Sinai, Matrouh, Assiut, Portsaid, Alexandria, Beheira, Damietta, Fayoum and Qalubiya, Health Ministry spokesperson Khaled Megahed told Hona Al Asema. Mobile health clinics will be parked out in densely-populated areas to test people and positive patients will be transferred to the closest available facility for treatment at no charge, he added (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=E6KM5CPXboE\">watch here, runtime: 12: 41<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AUS8vwgcae8\">here, runtime: 13:28<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The first phase of the campaign will run through October and November,<\/strong> while the full program will take about seven months to complete, National Committee for Control of Viral Hepatitis member Yehia El Shazly told Masaa DMC (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AUS8vwgcae8\">watch, runtime: 13:28<\/a>).

In preparation for its pitch, the government is taking steps to make Egypt\u2019s debt eligible for including, including starting talks with Belgium\u2019s Euroclear to facilitate the settlement of domestic debt for overseas investors. According to the sources, \u201censuring cross-border domestic debt purchases could be cleared efficiently would also help facilitate Egypt\u2019s inclusion in the index.\u201d The government hopes that inclusion in the index would \u201cencourage passive inflows and help ease the debt servicing burden\u201d as demand for EGP-denominated dropped in the midst of the emerging markets sell-off, which has pushed up yields.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GCC countries are looking to do the same: <\/strong>\u201cSaudi Arabia and four other Gulf countries will become eligible for inclusion in JPMorgan\u2019s emerging-market bonds indexes from the end of January, potentially attracting billions of dollars in passive inflows,\u201d Bloomberg writes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FinMin carries through with treasury auction despite higher yields:<\/strong> The quest for inclusion on JPM\u2019s EM bond index comes as an auction yesterday saw yields on 91-day treasury bills rise to 19.711% from 19.62%, while yields at the nine-month auction rose to 19.938% from 19.84% previously, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbe.org.eg\/en\/Auctions\/Pages\/AuctionsEGPTBills.aspx\">according to CBE data<\/a>. The auction saw the sale of EGP 10.6 bn worth of 91-day bills and EGP 10.37 bn worth of nine-month bills. The sale came after Finance Minister Mohamed Maait <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/09\/26\/well-call-off-bond-sales-until-yields-stabilize-maait\/\">said last week<\/a> that his ministry would call off sales of longer-term domestic bonds as long as yields remained high.

A price spike would, however, surely drive up inflation and strain households in importing countries: While some policymakers assess inflation through indexes that remove energy costs, \u201ca substantial run-up in oil prices could provide a more durable uptick for overall inflation if the costs filter through to transportation and utilities.\u201d Read: If you live in Egypt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blame Trump? <\/strong>The US re-imposing sanctions on Iran, paired with civil unrest in Venezuela, Libya and Nigeria, have all hampered oil supply amid growing demand, leading to a 22% increase in Brent crude prices this year. The Donald has been putting pressure on Saudi Arabia and its OPEC friends to step up production to drive prices down, but they have shown no serious signs they will comply.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Winners and losers: <\/strong>Oil producers Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and Colombia are among the countries that would see the hike positively reflect on their budget, current account deficit, and investment spending. On the flipside, losers would include net oil importers, including Europe and China.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Egypt would obviously be on the wrong side of the equation:<\/strong> The hike would strain Egypt\u2019s concerted effort to tighten its budget and put more pressure on consumers already grappling with the impact of high inflation in recent years. A senior government official <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/09\/23\/it-looks-like-were-not-quite-going-to-make-our-deficit-target\/\">told us last month<\/a> that the Finance Ministry is looking to amend its budget deficit target for FY2018-19 to 8.6% from 8.4% in large part thanks to rising global oil prices. It likely also mean further fuel subsidy cuts, from which the poor are largely insulated, but which hit lower-middle-class and middle-class consumers squarely in the pocketbooks.<\/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\/the-macro-picture\/\">THE MACRO PICTURE<\/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=\"622437\" 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=\"622437\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">6<\/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\/2018\/10\/01\/retrial-of-ikhwan-leaders-tops-coverage-of-egypt-in-international-headlines\/\">\r\n                            Retrial of Ikhwan leaders tops coverage of Egypt in international headlines                        <\/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\/10\/01\/retrial-of-ikhwan-leaders-tops-coverage-of-egypt-in-international-headlines\/\" 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();
