A senior government official emphasized that cabinet is \u201ccompletely committed to the program,\u201d but cannot go to market with conditions as they stand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The program could resume as early as 1Q2019 or as late as the start of the new state fiscal year <\/strong>in July. It all comes down to market conditions, our source said, saying cabinet made the decision to postpone the program after consulting with investment bankers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A new lineup could be in the offing: <\/strong>The state could use the delay to tweak the list of (a) already-traded companies set to sell additional shares and (b) companies set to make an initial public offering under the program.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The state had hoped to raise as much as EGP 10 bn for the treasury <\/strong>from the program this fiscal year and is now reviewing was to find \u201calternative sources\u201d for the funds, our source says.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"content-anchor\" id=\"tldr-story-02\"><\/a> ** #2 <strong>Eastern Tobacco IPO postponed \u201cindefinitely,\u201d gov\u2019t points to messy macro backdrop: <\/strong>Our source spoke just one day after the government announced that its sale of a 4.5% stake in cigarette maker Eastern Company has been postponed \u201cindefinitely\u201d after the company\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/alborsaanews.com\/2018\/10\/19\/1143017\">share price plunged<\/a> 11.5%, The committee overseeing the state privatization program <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2018\/10\/420.pdf\">said in a statement (pdf)<\/a> that Eastern\u2019s share performance was set against a background that includes the emerging markets sell-off, high interest rates, the introduction of protectionist measures in various economies, and the looming trade war between the US and China.

returned to El Alamein yesterday \u201cto visit the desert battlefield on the 76th anniversary of the decisive Allied victory that marked an important step toward the eventual defeat of German and Italian forces in Africa in May 1943. \u2026 The battle began on the night of Oct. 23 1942 when Commonwealth forces from General Bernard Montgomery\u2019s Eighth Army began driving back Field Marshal Erwin Rommel\u2019s Panzerarmee Afrika, which had threatened to sweep across Egypt and into the Middle East.\u201d Pictured are vets Alex Munro, 96, Joe Peel, 98, and Bill Blackburn, 98. <a

Investors, in turn, look to EMs in search of higher yields, creating debt-based growth. And as the developed world (the Fed especially) starts raising interest rates, \u201cthe money pulls back and causes a crisis. This happened in 1982, it happened in 1994, and \u201895.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>That\u2019s not to say all EM investments have gained a bad rep<\/strong>. Investors will not shy away from emerging economies with sound fundamentals and that are situated to handle debt and continue to grow (hint: Turkey and Argentina don\u2019t fit the bill here). However, even with the best policies \u2014 rejecting a pegged currency, keeping FX borrowing at a maintainable level, and maintaining a generally balanced current account \u2014 some EMs are vulnerable to \u201cself-fulfilling panics\u201d that are fueled by speculation of contagion (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/video\/f9851d07-6aef-442a-a3fa-a074b96c33fa\">watch, runtime: 3:28<\/a>).<\/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\/worth-watching\/\">worth watching<\/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=\"623075\" 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=\"623075\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">9<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Diplomacy + Foreign Trade<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/10\/21\/egypt-and-the-eu-sign-eur-135-mn-in-sme-financing-migration-agreements\/\">\r\n                            Egypt and the EU sign EUR 135 mn in SME financing, migration agreements                        <\/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\/21\/egypt-and-the-eu-sign-eur-135-mn-in-sme-financing-migration-agreements\/\" 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();
