Then get a fresh cup of coffee, close your door and sit back to figure out what it means to your business (and your holiday plans). As you do, keep in mind the words of reader Davide C., who reminded us as 2017 drew to a close that Egypt took 17 national holidays last year \u2014 <strong>making us the country with the fifth-highest number of vacation days in the world<\/strong>. How good is that for productivity? By his calculations, Italy \u2014 our Mediterranean sibling from another mother \u2014 had an average of 9.4 national holidays over the past five years (they don\u2019t get \u2018replacement days\u2019 if they fall on a weekend). That means we work one and a half weeks less each year than the Italians do \u2014 or two and half weeks less if you presume everyone in the country drops down to a six-hour workday for Ramadan.<\/p><p>And if you, like us, are the type who will spend the next month or so figuring out and refining your list of business and personal goals for 2018 and into 2019, go read Andrew Hill\u2019s latest Managing Yourself column for the FT. It\u2019s a short hit that urges us all to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/84934c32-e707-11e7-8b99-0191e45377ec\"><strong>do less this year, but do it better<\/strong><\/a>. The column rides on the work of Norwegian academic Morten Hansen, whose blog won our hearts with stories including \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mortenhansen.com\/busy-time-year-george-costanza\/\">Cut Your Work in Half This Holiday Season: Do a George Costanza<\/a>.\u201d Anyone who can reference Seinfeld can\u2019t be all bad, right?

(And yes, we\u2019re very aware that one way to do less, work better and achieve more is probably to spend less time reading modern-day self-help books\u2026)<\/p><p><strong>Why are we so chipper this morning? <\/strong>All the good news in yesterday\u2019s edition (<a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/01\/08\/pmi-falls-in-december-but-4q2017-average-is-highest-in-two-years\/\">here<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/01\/08\/investors-optimistic-about-egypts-2018-prospects-but-fdi-may-not-surge-until-second-half\/\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/01\/08\/oxford-business-group-sees-egypts-economic-growth-accelerating-further-in-2018\/\">here<\/a>) has us upbeat, sure, but we were also reminded overnight by the New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/01\/06\/opinion\/sunday\/2017-progress-illiteracy-poverty.html\"><strong>2017 was the best year in human history<\/strong><\/a>. Set aside everything that\u2019s easy to hate in this day and age, he reminds us, and embrace the fact that \u201ca smaller share of the world\u2019s people were hungry, impoverished or illiterate than at any time before. A smaller proportion of children died than ever before. The proportion disfigured by leprosy, blinded by diseases like trachoma or suffering from other ailments also fell.\u201d<\/p><p><strong>Meanwhile: Expect foreign policy to dominate today\u2019s news cycle<\/strong> as Egypt engages with the United States (the Pence visit is back on) and our neighbors in Sudan (which is stirring the pot on Halayeb), Eritrea (whose president is here today) and Ethiopia (GERD, which continues to give us <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/heartburn-gerd\/guide\/reflux-disease-gerd-1\">GERD<\/a>).

The price hikes are crucial to fund maintenance works worth EGP 55 mn and renovations to improve the quality of service, Arafat said. The minister also said that it\u2019s important to take advantage of the overall push for reform to reverse the effects of corruption on the national rail system, which has been accumulating debt over the past several decades (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pa28TrxLlHI\">watch, runtime: 8:44<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arafat further skirted the issue of timing on the hikes on Hona Al Asema, telling host Lamees Al Hadidi that the ministry has yet to decide when the ticket prices will be hiked, but it will be \u201csoon.\u201d <\/strong>The railway sector currently has a budget deficit of around EGP 2 bn, and there are currently studies underway to determine how much ticket prices must be hiked to bridge the financing gap (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tQhzhYTySF0\">watch, runtime: 10:00<\/a>). Arafat elaborated on the pricing further in statements earlier in the day which we cover in the Speed Round.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trade and Industry Minister Tarek Kabil phoned in to state that the total value of Egypt\u2019s exports in 2017 rose to EGP 22 bn, a 12% y-o-y increase<\/strong>, while imports declined by around 30% y-o-y. Kabil also told Lamees that the industrial sector is steadily growing, and currently accounts for 18% of Egypt\u2019s GDP. To support that growth, the government has allocated large land plots for industrial companies, and is working with the Armed Forces\u2019 Engineering Authority to design and construct 13 industrial complexes in 12 governorates (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1Z22NWi0OJQ\">watch, runtime: 9:29<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lamees also sat down with Saudi businessman Hussein Shobokshi, who had a glowing forecast for Egypt\u2019s economic growth in 2018<\/strong>. The improvement of business conditions has boosted investors\u2019 confidence in the Egyptian market, which has significant potential to become a hub for manufacturing and exporting products to the MENA region and Africa (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zyCtDzedPeI\">watch, runtime: 12:27<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shobokshi discussed with Lamees the economic reforms Saudi Arabia is currently undertaking<\/strong>, noting that this is part of the government\u2019s preparation for the post-oil era to ensure that the country\u2019s economic resources remain intact.

Pence will kick-off the tour in Egypt on 20 January, where he will meet with President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, reads the statement. The tour will \u201caddress the shared need to combat terrorism and assist persecuted religious minorities,\u201d the White House says, but you can also expect the US recognition of Jerusalem will play in talks when Pence meets El Sisi, Jordan\u2019s King Abdullah and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. US President Donald Trump unnecessarily stirred up a hornet\u2019s nest last month when he followed his Jerusalem announcement by saying he would cut US funding to United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine if the Palestinians do not go back to the negotiating table. Pence, a strong supporter of Trump\u2019s decision on Jerusalem, will also visit the city\u2019s Western Wall and give a speech at the Israeli parliament. A number of Egypt\u2019s religious figures, including Pope Tawadros and the head of Al Azhar, have announced they will not meet with Pence in protest of the Jerusalem decision.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <strong>Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki arrives in Cairo today to meet with President <\/strong><strong>Abdel Fattah El Sisi<\/strong>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almasryalyoum.com\/news\/details\/1242433\">Al Masry Al Youm reports<\/a>. The two presidents will almost undoubtedly look into the impasse between Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) and the wider regional Cold War which appears to have drawn in Ethiopia\u2019s main regional rival Eritrea. Afwerki and his accompanying delegation will also sit down today with Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry and General Intelligence Directorate head Khaled Fawzy. Afwerki arrives after Sudan closed its border with his country \u2014 and after an unconfirmed report that Egypt has sent troops to his nation with UAE backing, <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/01\/08\/something-is-afoot-with-sudan\/\">as we noted yesterday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As for Ethiopia, the country has yet to respond to Egypt\u2019s proposal to include the World <\/strong><strong>Bank in GERD negotiations<\/strong> as an impartial third party, Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said yesterday, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almalnews.com\/Story\/359897\/19\/%D8%B4%D9%83%D8%B1%D9%8A-%D9%84%D9%85-%D9%86%D8%AA%D9%84%D9%82-%D8%B1%D8%AF%D8%A7-%D9%85%D9%86-%D8%A5%D8%AB%D9%8A%D9%88%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%A7-%D8%B9%D9%86-%D9%85%D8%B4%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%83%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A8%D9%86%D9%83-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AF%D9%88%D9%84%D9%8A-%D9%81%D9%8A-%D9%85%D9%81%D8%A7%D9%88%D8%B6%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D8%AF\">Al Mal reports<\/a>. Shoukry had initially presented the suggestion during a <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/12\/27\/world-bank-to-join-gerd-talks-as-a-neutral-fourth-party\/\">visit to Addis Ababa last month<\/a> in hopes of resolving the impasse between Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia after the latter two countries refused to ratify the results of environmental impact studies on the dam. The World Bank <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/01\/02\/world-bank-preliminarily-agrees-to-participate-in-gerd-talks\/\">reportedly gave a preliminary nod<\/a> to the suggestion last week, and will reach a final decision this month. Egypt is committed to avoiding tension over the negotiations, which are currently focused on the technical aspects of the dam, Shoukry reaffirmed.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s against that backdrop that El Sisi said yesterday that <strong>Egypt is taking preemptive steps to <\/strong><strong>ensure it does not end up facing a water crisis<\/strong>. The president made the remarks at an inauguration ceremony for several projects, including a water treatment plant. El Sisi announced that in addition to capitalizing on its share of Nile water, Egypt is working on water treatment and desalination projects worth EGP 70 bn to ensure consumption needs are being met, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Egy.Pres.Spokesman\/posts\/322856868233700\">an Ittihadiya statement says<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All of this comes as Sudan renewed yesterday its complaint to the UN Security Council, <\/strong><strong>once again claiming it has sovereignty over Egypt\u2019s Halayeb triangle<\/strong>, the Sudanese Foreign Ministry <a href=\"http:\/\/mofa.gov.sd\/en\/more.php?main_id=6&sub_id=0&id=60365\">said in a statement<\/a>. It remains unclear whether the complaint calls on the council to take any action against Egypt, whose membership in the council expired at the end of 2017. Tensions have been rising between Khartoum and Cairo for several months over Omar El Bashir\u2019s government using the GERD talks to push its claim to the Halayeb Triangle. Playing the Halayeb card is also a useful tool for Khartoum to detract attention from ongoing bread riots. <strong>Sudan withdrew its ambassador to Egypt last week for \u201cconsultations,\u201d <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/01\/08\/something-is-afoot-with-sudan\/\">as we noted yesterday<\/a>.<\/p>\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\/speed-round\/\">SPEED ROUND<\/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=\"634203\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"634204\" 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=\"634204\">\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\/01\/09\/2018-begins-on-a-high-note-for-egypt\/\">\r\n                            2018 begins on a high note for Egypt                        <\/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\/01\/09\/2018-begins-on-a-high-note-for-egypt\/\" 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();

A major part of the challenge is setting up the pipelines that would allow any gas developed in the region to reach international markets. Italy and Israel are considering a possibly unviable pipeline via Cyprus and Greece, in order to avoid setting up a pipeline via Turkey, which would have to pass through Lebanese and Syrian waters. <strong>Egypt, however, is going to have a much easier time exporting LNG to Europe and Asia through two terminals in the Suez Canal.<\/strong> \u201cThe incentives for co-operation are strong but so too are the barriers. As Egypt reaps the rewards of Zohr, its neighbours face difficult choices if they are to unlock the full energy potential of a region that has mixed commerce and conflict for millennia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also worth noting in brief this morning:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><strong>Only President Abdel Fattah El Sisi is so far a potential contender<\/strong> in this spring\u2019s presidential poll, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-01-08\/egypt-to-set-election-date-as-potential-el-sisi-rivals-drop-out\">Tarek El Tablawy writes for Bloomberg<\/a>. <\/li>\n<li><strong>The best way to resolve the Nile issues<\/strong> is via co-operative development through the whole basin, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenational.ae\/business\/economy\/will-the-nile-bring-egypt-to-the-brink-of-another-political-crisis-this-time-with-sudan-1.693487\">Robin Mills writes for The National<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The UN condemned the hanging of 20 sentenced to death on terrorism charges<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/a\/un-egypt-executions\/4195064.html\">VOA reports<\/a>.

The fourth round of this through-the-looking-glass, tech-focused anthology series takes us down some even murkier moral and existential routes than last season, exploring everything from sentient AI, surveillance and psychological torture to a masterful addressing of race. Those who have not yet checked out the season wasted a significant portion of their New Year\u2019s break. Those who have yet to hear of the series might as well just cancel their Netflix subscriptions now and be done with television altogether.<\/p>\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=\"634208\" 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=\"634208\">\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 reading<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/01\/09\/enterprise-book-club-presents-valiant-gentleman\/\">\r\n                            Enterprise Book Club presents: Valiant Gentleman                        <\/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\/01\/09\/enterprise-book-club-presents-valiant-gentleman\/\" 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();

Among the gems recommended to us was Sabina Murray\u2019s Valiant Gentlemen, a riveting piece of historical fiction on Irish humanitarian and revolutionary Sir Roger Casement and his friendship with his foil the British sculptor Herbert Ward. Whether it is read as a colorful adventure novel or political treatise, the draw in this long read is the intensity of the characters and their moral convictions that take them down widely varying and tragic fates. Be warned: The gruesome acts depicted here cast a very grim view of empire in the early 20th century. A lot of sleepless nights with this one.<\/p>\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=\"634210\" 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=\"634210\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">10<\/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\/01\/09\/shoukry-meets-irish-foreign-affairs-and-trade-minister-to-discuss-palestine-crisis\/\">\r\n                            Shoukry meets Irish Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister to discuss Palestine crisis                        <\/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\/01\/09\/shoukry-meets-irish-foreign-affairs-and-trade-minister-to-discuss-palestine-crisis\/\" 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();

The premise is modeled on the Little Free Library system: Set up a few cabinets to serve as book shelves and ask the public to stock them with books they don\u2019t need. The libraries then run on an exchange system where people place a book before taking one that they want and the libraries become automated. In a city as big as ours, there is bound to be at least a few dozen books being hoarded, and Riad is hoping to get them into his street libraries. Three of them have been established so far with more coming over the next few months (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=B3saVQIOQF4\">watch, runtime 2:27<\/a>).<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"634222\" 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=\"634222\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">18<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">The Market Yesterday<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/01\/09\/634222\/\">\r\n                                                    <\/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\/01\/09\/634222\/\" 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(); navigator.clipboard.writeText('https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/01\/09\/634222\/')\">\n                    Copy Link                <\/a>\n\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/01\/09\/634222\/\">\n                    Facebook                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/facebook-icon2.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/intent\/post?text=&url=https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/01\/09\/634222\/\">\n                    X                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/twitter-icon.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/01\/09\/634222\/&title=\">\n                    LinkedIn                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/linkedin-icon.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=+https%3A%2F%2Fenterpriseam.com%2Fegypt%2F2018%2F01%2F09%2F634222%2F\">\n                    WhatsApp                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/whatsapp-icon.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\r\n                    \r\n                <\/div>\r\n\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/01\/09\/634222\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-634222\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-634222 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-the-market-yesterday tag-enterpriseam tag-the-market-yesterday wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><strong>EGP \/ USD CBE market average: <\/strong>Buy 17.6456 | Sell 17.7456<br \/>\n<strong>EGP \/ USD at CIB:<\/strong> Buy 17.63 | Sell 17.73<br \/>\n<strong>EGP \/ USD at NBE: <\/strong>Buy 17.65 | Sell 17.75<\/p>\n<p><strong>EGX30<\/strong> (Monday): 14,953 (+1.2%)<br \/>\n <strong>Turnover:<\/strong> EGP 1.3 bn (20% above the 90-day average)<br \/>\n <strong>EGX 30 year-to-date<\/strong>: -0.4%<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE MARKET ON MONDAY:<\/strong> The EGX30 ended Monday\u2019s session up 1.2%.
