pervaded the airwaves once again<\/strong> as the talking heads pored over Turkey\u2019s rejection of Egypt\u2019s maritime border demarcation agreement with Cyprus (we have the full story in Diplomacy + Foreign Trade, below).<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"tldr-story-05\" class=\"content-anchor\"><\/a> <strong>A welcome exception to the rule was SODIC CEO Magued Sherif\u2019s interview on Extra News\u2019 Mal wa Aamal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sherif told\u00a0Extra News\u2019 Dina Salem that the company will spend around EGP 3 bn during the year on various projects<\/strong>, including East Town, Villette, and SODIC East \u2014 which is being developed in partnership with Heliopolis Housing \u2014 as well as smaller-scale work on SODIC West and the North Coast development Caesar Bay. SODIC will also pay EGP 950 mn in land instalments to the New and Urban Communities Authority, he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SODIC is also expecting sales revenues to grow to EGP 8.7 bn in 2018 from EGP 5.6 bn in 2017,<\/strong> according to Sherif. Despite the challenging economic backdrop, the market has responded well to the rise in home prices in the year following the EGP float (which are up c. 45% since), thanks largely to positive demographics and strong market foundations. With almost 900k marriages a year and strong population growth, Egypt has consistent demand for real estate across the income segments, Sherif said, explaining that demand usually far exceeds supply.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other plans include drafting a new dividend payment scheme. <\/strong>Sherif said that the company will not be distributing any dividends from its 2017 earnings, but plans to put a clear mechanism in place this year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On working with the state, <\/strong>Sherif told Kamel that SODIC would be more than willing to partake in the development of affordable-housing projects in partnership with the government if an opportunity were to present itself. SODIC is also now seeing more merit to investing in the new administrative capital, now that they have more clarity on the project, which Sherif described as the \u201cnatural extension of East Cairo.\u201d You can watch <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=izZcCOKFWQ4&feature=youtu.be\">the full interview here<\/a> (runtime 34:47).<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile on Yahduth fi Masr,<strong> Cyprus\u2019 ambassador to Egypt expressed his appreciation for Egypt\u2019s Foreign Ministry\u2019s \u201cclear and principled\u201d response to Turkey\u2019s statements <\/strong>on the maritime border agreement (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/YahdothFiMasr\/videos\/538277373217240\/\">watch, runtime 1:03<\/a>).
