Yes, inflation cooled, but the CBE will want to see it continue to ease before looking at a rate cut. More importantly, the global macro backdrop essentially demands the central bank not cut rates today.<\/p><p><strong>We had been cheerleading a rate cut<\/strong>, arguing that lower borrowing rates are needed to kickstart borrowing by domestic businesses. But keeping overnight lending and deposit rates stable (for now) at 16.75% and 17.75%, respectively, could prove a key weapon in the battle to isolate Egypt from contagion threatened by a wider EM crisis sparked by Turkey.<\/p><p><strong>That\u2019s because emerging market equities are now in bear territory <\/strong>(shocker, we know) <strong>and Egypt is your best option in a slump<\/strong>, at least if you\u2019re a debt investor. Let\u2019s start with the good news, shall we? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-08-15\/traders-looking-for-refuge-from-volatility-will-find-it-in-egypt\">Traders looking for refuge from volatility will find it in Egypt<\/a>, Netty Idayu Ismail and Ahmed Feteha write for Bloomberg. While Egypt is \u201ca little bit over-crowded,\u201d one asset manager says, \u201cthe relatively high yield and relatively stable currency \u2026 [will see it] remain an interesting investment [option] for emerging-market investors.\u201d You can thank \u201ctough measures to stabilize the economy,\u201d which are paying off as \u201cstrong growth in inflows from tourism and remittances have \u2026 helped offset fund outflows in recent months.\u201d Foreign investors pared their holdings of Egyptian treasuries to USD 17.5 bn in July from USD 21.6 bn in March.<\/p><p><strong>Why do investors love Egyptian debt? <\/strong>Stability, to be sure: The EGP\u2019s 30-day historical volatility has eased to below 2% while the comparable indicator for Argentina is at near 20% and for Turkey at more than 70%. But really, it\u2019s a yield play: \u201cEgyptian treasury bills offer an average yield of almost 19%, pretax, compared with about 5 percent for local-currency emerging-market debt,\u201d Bloomberg says. Argentina and the nutter running Ankara offer higher yields \u2014 and much higher volatility.<\/p><p><strong>Oh, and you can also thank both a smooth-running interbank FX market<\/strong> and the CBE\u2019s repatriation mechanism for the stability.<\/p><p><strong>What, me worry? <\/strong>Egypt may look good right now, but the chief economist of the Institute of International Finance tells <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/turkey-currency-iif\/update-1-turkish-lira-undershooting-fair-value-global-banking-group-idUSL1N1V60QP\">Reuters<\/a> you\u2019ll want to keep an eye on those fund flows. There is \u201cpotential for contagion in the form of capital outflows from some other major emerging markets, including Argentina, South Africa, Indonesia, Egypt and Lebanon,\u201d the newswire quotes the IIF\u2019s Robin Brooks as saying.<\/p><p><strong>So, what\u2019s this about a bear market for EM? <\/strong>Emerging market equities have \u201cslumped into a bear market\u201d again, falling to a six-month low on the back of weak Chinese economic data and EM currencies taking a hit, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/a770c802-a092-11e8-85da-eeb7a9ce36e4\">the Financial Times<\/a>. A market enters bear territory when prices are down 20% or more from their 52-week high.<\/p><p><strong>What\u2019s going on? <\/strong>\u201cEmerging markets have faced mounting pressure over the past few months. Concerns over trade wars have weighed heavily, while rising US interest rates and the [USD\u2019s] renaissance have dented the lustre of emerging markets, and contributed to crises in more vulnerable countries which are dependent on capital inflows, such as Argentina and Turkey,\u201d the FT writes. Also a factor: That nasty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/6a1d1188-9988-11e8-9702-5946bae86e6d\"><strong>slowdown in EM export growth<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Not everyone sees Turkey threatening a wider EM contagion<\/strong>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/turkeys-economic-red-flags-stand-out-among-emerging-markets-1534336200\">Wall Street Journal\u2019s Josh Zumbrun<\/a> writes, suggesting that Ankara\u2019s issues are unique. Other emerging markets (including Egypt) suffer from one or more economic challenges, but Turkey\u2019s \u201ceconomic woes include one of the largest trade deficits of any emerging-market country, unmatched external debts, a currency vulnerable to decline, exceptionally high inflation, unorthodox monetary policy and very little international goodwill,\u201d which Zumbrun notes makes it unlikely the IMF will be keen on offering Ankara a bailout.<\/p><p><strong>The strength of the USD could remain a challenge for the foreseeable future \u2014 and Turkey could make it worse <\/strong>if it were to introduce capital controls and repudiate some of its foreign debt, helping drive the global appreciation of the greenback, strategists at Macquarie write, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/markets.businessinsider.com\/currencies\/news\/dollar-appreciation-domino-effect-emerging-markets-2018-8-1027461871\">Business insider<\/a>.

class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p>The highlight of last night\u2019s talk shows on an otherwise humdrum evening was <strong>Finance Minister Mohamed Maait discussing everything from misconceptions about the real estate tax<\/strong> to the government\u2019s shift towards digital platforms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The real estate tax is not new:<\/strong> Maait all but waved a giant flag emblazoned with the words \u201cThis is not a new tax,\u201d telling Masaa DMC\u2019s Osama Kamal that the levy has been in place since 2008 and the only development is that it will be enforced more strictly. The Finance Ministry expected to reel in around EGP 5.8 bn from the tax this year, he said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=q6UzRWoPi9s\">watch, runtime: 5:14<\/a>). The concept of a real estate tax is also not unique to Egypt and is meant to feed back into the system by making funds available for the government to improve services. Maait also noted that units valued at less than EGP 2 mn are exempt from the tax altogether (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=w8LwmiTYKeI\">watch, runtime: 5:50<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tax payments are on their way to becoming digitized<\/strong>, with a new system currently in the works that would streamline payments by automating the entire process, Maait said. The ministry has enlisted the help of an unnamed specialized company, which will bring the new system to life within three or four years. The automated system is also expected to aid in collecting taxes from the informal economy, according to Maait (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZDFo3gyW63I\">watch, runtime: 4:50<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maait also defended the sin tax imposed on cigarettes<\/strong> and the recent hike in cigarette prices, telling Kamal that the World Health Organization has previously wagged its finger at Egypt for having relatively cheap cigarettes despite the hazards they pose to people\u2019s health (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=T69-DXohH_E\">watch, runtime: 4:58<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>President Abdel Fattah El Sisi\u2019s inauguration of a cement and marble production complex<\/strong> in Beni Suef yesterday (more details on which are in Up Next, below) also earned much attention on the airwaves last night. Beni Suef governor Sherif Habib hailed the complex as proof that the government is prioritizing the development of Upper Egypt. The complex, coupled with other cement production facilities in the governorate, will create an important export window for the country, he said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=84G-rbmsEds\">watch, runtime: 5:27<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arab Investors Union head Gamal Bayoumi said much of the same<\/strong> on Al Hayah fi Masr, claiming that Egypt has been importing cement (despite industry leaders saying there has been a glut in the cement market <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/03\/12\/seven-companies-apply-for-new-cement-licenses\/\">since last year<\/a>) and that the project will satisfy local demand (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5z5HiB98LHg\">watch, runtime: 8: 38<\/a>). The project is also expected to create some 13k jobs for residents of Upper Egypt, House Rep. Ali Badr said on Hona Al Asema (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_x8JBXiCyGw\">watch, runtime: 4:11<\/a>). Yahduth fi Masr also took note of the story (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/YahdothFiMasr\/videos\/599540910442687\/\">watch, runtime: 3:32<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Takaful, Karama beneficiaries to get jobs under Forsa program:<\/strong> The Solidarity Ministry is creating 70k jobs for beneficiaries of the cash subsidy program Takaful and Karama through a new initiative, Forsa, ministry spokesman Mohamed El Okabi told Hona Al Asema.

Dubbed the \u201cworld\u2019s fastest-sinking city,\u201d Jakarta is ceding around 1-15 cm of its ground each year to rising water levels, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-asia-44636934\">according to BBC<\/a>. Researchers at the Bandung Institute of Technology say that, by 2050, about 95% of North Jakarta will be submerged.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What went wrong? For starters, the overconsumption of groundwater: <\/strong>People are forced to pump water from underground aquifers, which causes the land above it to sink leading to subsidence. Poor planning has exacerbated the problem as lax regulations gave room to individual homeowners and massive shopping mall operators to conduct their own groundwater extractions. As a coastal city, Jakarta is also hit with rising sea levels due to climate change, but authorities are hoping that a USD 40 bn 32 km sea wall built across Jakarta Bay along with 17 artificial islands, will help rescue the sinking city. \u201cIt can only ever be an interim measure, it will only buy Jakarta an extra 20-30 years to stop the long-term subsidence,\u201d hydrologist Jan Jaap Brinkman says.<\/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-reading\/\">worth reading<\/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=\"625857\" 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=\"625857\">\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\">Worth watching<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/08\/16\/vienna-ranked-as-most-liveable-city-in-the-world\/\">\r\n                            Vienna ranked as most liveable city in the world                        <\/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\/08\/16\/vienna-ranked-as-most-liveable-city-in-the-world\/\" 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();
