The ministry hopes the program will grow the capital market\u2019s contribution to the economy to 50-60% of GDP, from a current 20-21%, he added, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mof.gov.eg\/Arabic\/MOFNews\/Media\/Pages\/releas-a-26-2-2018.aspx\">according to a ministry statement<\/a>. Planning Minister Hala El Saeed <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/02\/26\/nib-sends-proposes-addition-of-13-companies-to-states-ipo-program\/\">had said on Sunday<\/a> that the National Investment Bank sent the Finance Ministry a list of 13 subsidiaries that it is looking to enroll in the state\u2019s IPO program. State energy firm Enppi was set to kick off the IPO program late last year, but then transaction has been postponed to the end of 2018.<\/p><p><strong>The ministry has completed its proposed tax framework for SMEs<\/strong>, which would help bring them into the formal economy, Finance Minister Amr El Garhy told the AmCham meeting. The minister offered no further detail of the plan.<\/p><p>El Garhy also noted that the ministry is projecting <strong>20% y-o-y growth in tax revenues in FY2017-18<\/strong>.<\/p><p><strong>\u201cEgypt investors now bold enough to look for USD themselves\u201d: <\/strong>That\u2019s the good-news headline atop a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-02-25\/egypt-investors-now-bold-enough-to-look-for-dollars-themselves\">Bloomberg piece by Ahmed Feteha<\/a> noting that \u201cForeign holders of Egypt\u2019s local debt have been using the open currency market more frequently to get USD. Not only is it a sign they\u2019re more comfortable getting cash out of the country, but it also means the days of a stagnant EGP may be numbered\u2026It\u2019s a marked shift for a country where a crippling USD shortage had made it near impossible for foreign investors to repatriate profits.\u201d Investors are turning to the open market because (a) greenbacks are available and (b) the central bank raised the price of using its repatriation scheme when it slapped on a one percent entrance fee late last year.<\/p><p><strong>Ratings agency S&amp;P sees MENA sovereign borrowing dropping by as much as 6% in 2018, after decreasing 30% last year \u201c<\/strong>chiefly because fiscal consolidation measures in all GCC countries and higher oil prices will likely reduce GCC sovereigns' funding needs.\u201d <strong>Egypt remains the largest borrower in MENA, with its share of the region\u2019s gross commercial long-term debt at 26%<\/strong>, which makes it MENA\u2019s largest borrower with USD 46.4 bn in debt, followed by Iraq with USD 35 bn, and Saudi Arabia with USD 31 bn. S&amp;P sees that \u201cEgypt [will] account for 19% of the total commercial debt we expect the region's sovereigns will issue by the end of 2018\u2026<strong>We calculate that Egypt will face the highest debt-rollover ratio (including short-term debt) in the region<\/strong>, reaching 41% of GDP, followed by Iraq (32%) and Lebanon (24%),\u201d S&amp;P says in a <a href=\"http:\/\/saudigazette.com.sa\/article\/529155\/BUSINESS\/MENA-borrowing-to-drop-by-6-to-%24181bn-S-ampP\">report picked up by Saudi Gazette<\/a>.
