2017 was a really good year in which to do business in Egypt \u2014 and 2018 is going to be even better, the results of our 4Q2017 survey showed. <strong>63.2% of our readers report that 2017 was good for business.<\/strong> Execs are more optimistic about the prospects for their businesses in 2018 as well, with 83.0% expecting conditions to improve, up from 63.5% in our 3Q2017 survey. Almost two thirds of respondents to what we immodestly see as the largest survey of business confidence in Egypt expect their sectors to see inflows of foreign investment this year. <strong>You\u2019re also putting your money where your sentiment is<\/strong>, with only 9.1% of respondents saying their businesses will not be increasing their investments in 2018. With the overwhelming majority of you set to grow your businesses\u2019 investments this year, 67.5% expect 2018 to be a year in which you crush the competition.<\/p><p><strong>You\u2019re also expecting to add to your payrolls<\/strong>, with 57.9% agreeing or strongly agreeing that they will be hiring for new positions.<\/p><p><strong>What problems do we all face, then?<\/strong> The usual suspects: 30.7% have inflation as their chief concern, which we expect feeds into the second most cited concern we heard: Retaining and finding quality staff. 17.7% are still concerned with the high-interest rate environment we\u2019re living through, with 66.4% saying current interest rates are negatively affecting their investment plans. Only 10.2% of the respondents continue to cite FX concerns, but your answers give us an idea of what the exchange rate will be by mid-year \u2014 but don\u2019t expect a major appreciation.<\/p><p><strong>Want an exact rate? <\/strong>EGP 17.10 per USD 1 on 1 July \u2014 that is the implied exchange rate we expect to see at the end of the first half of the year, calculated from your answers. Despite that, we\u2019re all still budgeting conservatively. Most of you used a rate of around EGP 16.50-18.50 per USD for your companies\u2019 1H2018 budgets, with an <strong>implied average of EGP 17.80 per USD 1<\/strong>.<\/p><p><strong>Let\u2019s talk raises: <\/strong>Here\u2019s another number for you: 13.1%. That\u2019s the calculated average raise those of you who had their raises announced before the end of the year got for 2018, and it\u2019s surprisingly not far from where you\u2019d be getting if you were the one who made that decision. The implied average annual raise increment you would\u2019ve received for 2018 if the decision was made by our readers is 15.1%, with 47.7% of the respondents saying it should fall somewhere between 11% to 20%.<\/p><p><strong>Who gets low(ish) marks?<\/strong> The government \u2014 sorta. The 4Q2017 survey saw the highest percentage of respondents disagreeing with the notion that members of the cabinet\u2019s economic committee understand the needs of business since 4Q2016. 36.8% disagreed with the statement, up from the 34.7% recorded in 3Q2017, and compared to the 39.5% recorded in 4Q2016. 12.5% cited bureaucracy and government regulation as the biggest issue facing their businesses at the moment and a few of you left us comments regarding payment from government entities and encroachment of state-owned businesses on the private sector. That said, confidence has improved: Only 27.5% of you want to move your wealth abroad, compared to 43.0% in 4Q2016.<\/p><p><strong>We were really humbled by all the kind messages of support so many of you left us in your comments.<\/strong> The really made our year. And we really love you. We also enjoyed reading all of your expectations, concerns, and comments regarding the progress of the Egyptian economy as well as the suggestions on how to improve our service.<\/p><p><strong>\u2026Oh and some of you really want to get a set of mugs and try our specialty coffee.<\/strong> We\u2019re now preparing the giveaways and drawing the names of those who\u2019ll be getting them \u2014 we\u2019ll be in touch, soon, and we\u2019ll run the full list of winners in a future edition of Enterprise.<\/p><p><strong>The full survey results are below <\/strong>\u2014 enjoy and, as always, let us know if you have any questions.<\/p>\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n

This train of thought was a segue to the Ismail government\u2019s economic reform program, which El Sisi stressed yielded positive results thanks to Egyptians\u2019 patience with the difficulties (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=49W1R8jgolA\">watch, runtime: 13:56<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The president\u2019s speech also touched on the role the country\u2019s youth played in growing the economy through SMEs<\/strong>, and he told viewers that the state listened to its youth through regular conferences, Cairo University political science professor Tarek Fahmy told Hona Al Asema\u2019s stand-in host Reham Ibrahim (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FMogAd8kxvE\">watch, runtime: 10:58<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kol Youm\u2019s Amr Adib said he was particularly impressed with El Sisi\u2019s train of thought in the speech<\/strong>, which he said was clear and consistent (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1S7li7rM4J0\">watch, runtime: 3:01<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adib also praised Egypt and Ethiopia\u2019s planned establishment of a joint investment council<\/strong>, which he said will both improve investments and nudge along stalled negotiations over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, since it will bridge the gap between the two countries\u2019 interests (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ydba7ATPkD0\">watch, runtime: 6:32<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Back on Masaa DMC, Agriculture Export Council head Abdel Hamid El Demerdash said that <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/12\/27\/saudi-arabia-temporarily-bans-imports-of-egyptian-guavas-over-residual-pesticide-levels\/\"><strong>Saudi Arabia\u2019s ban<\/strong><\/a><strong> on Egyptian guava imports<\/strong> is part of the ripple effect from the hepatitis A scare caused by Egyptian strawberries <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2016\/08\/22\/egyptian-strawberries-might-be-linked-to-hep-a-scare-in-virginia\/\">back in 2016<\/a>. GCC countries have since moved to tighten inspection and testing procedures on their imports of Egypt\u2019s agricultural products, El Demerdash said. The Agriculture Ministry is currently working alongside the council to implement more stringent regulations on domestic farms to avoid getting into such situations (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wZDAoKRO4l8&t=328s\">watch, runtime: 9:00<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Public Enterprises Minister Khaled Badawy also phoned in to tell Kamal that some public sector companies need to undergo significant reforms to become profitable again<\/strong>, while others are beyond hope and would only drain state resources. He said that the currently healthy rate of economic growth is a good way to decipher the future of these companies, <strong>and that a company that cannot improve its performance in the current economic environment is unlikely to improve at any other point in time<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rRGEJfvlYnw\">watch, runtime: 6:32<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Over on Al Hayah Al Youm, Tamer Amin hosted Consumer Protection Agency head Atef Yacoub<\/strong> for yet another segment of praising the Supply Ministry\u2019s price-printing policy.

(Masdar) and Egypt\u2019s Elsewedy Electric that will see it invest USD 900 mn in wind parks in Egypt, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-01-17\/marubeni-and-abu-dhabi-s-masdar-in-900-million-egypt-wind-plan\">Bloomberg reports<\/a>. The projects are expected to cost USD 1.2 mn per megawatt and add a total 700 MW in generation capacity to the national grid, according to Elsewedy Electric Vice President Wael Hamdy. \u201cMarubeni is leading the financing part, so we hope to achieve financial closure as soon as possible,\u201d Hamdy said. \u201cMost probably we will leverage on Japanese finance. The lead arrangers and the syndication is something we are working on currently.\u201d One of the projects, representing 30% of total capacity, is nearing financial close, according to Hamdy. We had noted <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/01\/15\/masdar-looking-to-develop-800-mw-of-wind-power-projects-in-egypt\/\">earlier this week<\/a> that Masdar was eyeing new power projects in Egypt under a plan that should see it invest around USD 1 bn in energy projects in countries including China, India, and Argentina.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Elsewedy Electric CEO Ahmed Elsewedy spoke on opportunities in renewables<\/strong> in <a href=\"http:\/\/africanbusinessmagazine.com\/uncategorised\/egypt-profitable-region-says-ahmed-el-sewedy\/\">an interview with African Business<\/a> that ran yesterday. \u201cBy undertaking solar projects, Elsewedy demonstrates its ability to capitalise on market opportunities by aligning strategy to government vision, for which renewable energy takes increasing precedence,\u201d he said. \u201cFurthermore, as the government aims to overcome a large budget deficit by reducing energy subsidies, Elsewedy can offer its energy saving solutions to companies battling increased operational costs,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The company\u2019s other growth factor is to use Egypt as a launch pad for key new projects abroad, particularly in Africa<\/strong>, said Elsewedy. \u201cAfrica\u2019s electrification [rate] is less than 10%, so there\u2019s a lot of space in the continent, either in the energy sector or the transmission sector. I really believe Africa is one of our main interests, for us as a company in Egypt,\u201d he added.<\/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=\"634593\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"634594\" 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=\"634594\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">5<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Image of the Day<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/01\/18\/a-birds-eye-view-of-cairo\/\">\r\n                            A bird\u2019s eye view of Cairo                        <\/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\/18\/a-birds-eye-view-of-cairo\/\" 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();

While Cairo has shown relative flexibility in negotiating the terms of the dam \u2014 which it has been opposed to since the start \u2014 talks have yet to bear fruit, Abdi Latif Dahir <a href=\"https:\/\/qz.com\/1181318\/ethiopia-egypt-sudan-and-eritrea-tensions-over-grand-ethiopian-renaissance-dam-on-nile-river\/\">writes for Quartz<\/a>. What little progress has been made might unravel altogether due to geopolitical rivalries between Sudan, Egypt, and Eritrea. \u201cThe current tensions are also being exacerbated by what Cairo sees as Turkish meddling in the region \u2026 Cairo also accuses both Khartoum and Ankara of supporting the [Ikhwan],\u201d Dahir notes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The GERD is a major cause for concern for farmers in Egypt, who worry that the dam will reduce their already limited access to irrigation<\/strong>, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/farmers-face-water-worries-in-the-nile-delta-1516184100?mod=searchresults&page=1&pos=2\">the Wall Street Journal (paywall)<\/a>. The WSJ tells the story of farmers in Arab El Raml through a photo essay documenting the impact of water scarcity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Egypt must work to give Christians \u201crightful equality\u201d and hold accountable individuals who attack Christians with relative impunity<\/strong>, Congressman James French Hill <a href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/blogs\/congress-blog\/politics\/369393-doing-the-right-thing-for-persecuted-coptic-christians\">writes for The Hill<\/a>. \u201cCopts live in constant fear for their future, as they have been targets of societal aggression resulting in loss of life, property and destruction of churches. They face severe discrimination in both public and private employment.\u201d Hill says he put forth a resolution in Congress calling on Egypt to reform education to teach religions impartially and enact political reforms that would improve human rights, freedoms, and the rule of law.<\/p>\n<p>Also worth noting in brief:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Two of the Egyptian mummies in Britain could be at the center of a \u201cfamily scandal,\u201d<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/science\/2018\/01\/17\/egyptian-scandal-meet-mummies-different-daddies\/\">Sarah Knapton writes for The Telegraph<\/a><\/strong>.
