Beltone analyst Aliaa Mamdouh says the ultimate goal is to phase out restrictions on repatriating profits that had been put in place during the heights of the FX crunch. The move could also mean that the CBE is bringing its repatriation policy in line with the IMF, which in one of its few criticisms of the CBE, called for repatriation restrictions to be removed. As FX reserves continue to rise to their pre-2011 levels, the CBE has been phasing out FX restrictions. Most recently, the CBE lifted all previously-imposed restrictions on USD deposits and withdrawals for importers of non-essential goods <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/11\/29\/cbe-lifts-caps-on-usd-deposits-and-withdrawals\/\">last week<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile,<strong> the CBE announced on Wednesday that Egypt\u2019s M2 money supply was up 40.48% y-o-y in October<\/strong> from a year earlier to EGP 3.09 tn (USD 173.91 bn), <a href=\"https:\/\/af.reuters.com\/article\/africaTech\/idAFC6N1L2019\">Reuters reports<\/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=\"635363\" 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=\"635363\">\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\/2017\/12\/03\/ahmed-shafiks-presidential-bid-leads-coverage-of-egypt-on-a-slow-news-morning\/\">\r\n                            Ahmed Shafik\u2019s presidential bid leads coverage of Egypt on a slow news morning                        <\/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\/2017\/12\/03\/ahmed-shafiks-presidential-bid-leads-coverage-of-egypt-on-a-slow-news-morning\/\" 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();
