Egypt\u2019s USD 12 bn Extended Fund Facility.<\/strong> The board will base its decision on the outcome of the second review of the Sisi administration\u2019s reform agenda, which concluded early last month, and we\u2019re optimistic that it\u2019s in the bag. \u201cEgypt\u2019s economy continues to perform strongly, and reforms that have already been implemented are beginning to pay off in terms of macroeconomic stabilization and the return of confidence,\u201d the IMF <a

continued to improve since then<\/strong>, with <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/12\/11\/annual-inflation-rate-drops-to-26-in-november\/\">annual inflation dropping below<\/a> the 30% mark in November for the first time this year to 26% (albeit a slower improvement than expected). Reserves are stable, and <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/12\/11\/egypts-bop-records-a-surplus-of-usd-5-1-bn\/\">Egypt\u2019s balance of payments<\/a> recorded a surplus of USD 5.1 bn during 1Q2017-18, an improvement from a surplus of USD 1.9 bn in the same period of the previous fiscal year. Finance Minister Amr El Garhy <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/12\/14\/on-the-horizon-241\/\">has said<\/a> the funds should be disbursed in January.<\/p><p><strong>The CBE announced on Tuesday that remittances from expats rose by 38.9% y-o-y in<\/strong><strong>October to around USD 2.2 bn<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/af.reuters.com\/article\/commoditiesNews\/idAFL8N1OJ4BY\">according to Reuters<\/a>. Remittances jumped nearly 40% y-o-y in 1Q2017-18 to USD 6.0 bn, from USD 4.3 bn during the same period last year.<\/p><p><strong>The official launch for production at the Zohr gas field is expected to <\/strong><strong>take place today<\/strong>, said Mario Bello, managing director of Eni JV Agiba Petroleum Company, <a href=\"http:\/\/english.ahram.org.eg\/NewsContent\/3\/12\/285610\/Business\/Economy\/Official-opening-of-Egypts-Zohr-gas-field-set-for-.aspx\">according to Ahram Online<\/a>. Production at the 30 tcf gas field began on Saturday with at a rate of 350 mcf\/d. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2017-12-19\/why-one-giant-gas-field-is-a-big-deal-for-egypt-quicktake-q-a\">Bloomberg Quicktake has a rundown<\/a> of the benefits Egypt is likely to see from the Zohr gas field. The piece notes the USD 60 mn in savings per month, as initial production rates can replace three LNG shipments. \u201c[Zohr and West Nile Delta] fields can improve Egypt\u2019s balance of payments by narrowing the current account deficit by approximately USD 4 bn and encourage more foreign investment in Egypt\u2019s energy sector,\u201d said CI Capital\u2019s Hany Farahat. That said, the government cannot rely on gas production alone and has to continue to push renewable energy projects and phase-out fuel subsidies, according to EFG Hermes economist Mohamed Abu Basha.<\/p><p><strong>Trade and Industry Minister Tarek Kabil is in Brazil today for a Mercosur summit<\/strong>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almasryalyoum.com\/news\/details\/1233831\">Al Masry Al Youm reports<\/a>.

Adib chalked up the negative press to Egypt drafting a UN Security Council resolution against the US\u2019 Jerusalem declaration. Rashwan said the editorial\u2019s release was timed to act as an explanation for US Vice President Mike Pence delaying his visit to Egypt. Rashwan said that many of the guest columnists\u2019 criticisms are points of pride for Egypt, including diversifying its allies and weapons providers. In any case, the SIS will coordinate with the Foreign Ministry to issue a formal response to the editorial. Separately, Rashwan said the <strong>SIS is holding a presser tomorrow to address media reports on Egypt\u2019s human rights record<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gJWpdYLt2xE\">watch, runtime: 9:41<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Over on Masaa DMC, <strong>Osama Kamal spoke to deputy chairman of the Egyptian Electricity<\/strong><strong>Holding Company (EEHC) Al-Husseiny Al-Far about EEHC\u2019s agreement with E-Finance<\/strong> to collect e-payments for power bills and charging prepaid meters.

Global GDP growth is expected to come at 4% in 2018, above the long-term trend and bringing unemployment rates down, he says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goldman Sachs is also bullish on emerging markets<\/strong>, saying that most EMs are \u201cbelow their long-term capacity to produce,\u201d which in Hatzius' view should allow them to maintain strong growth for an extended period before their respective central banks need to slow things down. There is \u201cmore room to go\u201d and, for now, inflation is below central bank targets in most places around the world, he says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Global growth is set to be broad-based between EMs and developed economies for the <\/strong><strong>time being<\/strong>, but that is \u201ca story that's likely to shift in the coming years as developed economies start to run up against capacity constraints,\u201d Hatzius says. The challenges for 2018 include the trade policy debate in the US, national elections, but the political risks are \u201cnot that great,\u201d he adds. \u201cBottom line is \u2026 we have strong growth and low inflation. And while central banks are moving towards the exit, so far they\u2019ve done that in a way that is relatively market-friendly and really well-digested by markets \u2026 for now, it\u2019s quite a friendly environment.\u201d<\/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\/the-macro-picture\/\">THE MACRO PICTURE<\/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=\"636084\" 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=\"636084\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">7<\/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\/20\/us-veep-delaying-trip-to-me-tops-coverage\/\">\r\n                            US Veep delaying trip to ME tops coverage                        <\/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\/20\/us-veep-delaying-trip-to-me-tops-coverage\/\" 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 pass would be issued for a specific period of time, and would expire once that time period elapses. The new system aims to cut costs by reducing the number of tickets that are printed, and would also eliminate the possibility of re-selling used tickets. However, there are concerns that old habits die hard and Egyptians would find ways around the unified card system to avoid paying altogether. According to a professor of roads and bridges at Ain Shams University, 30% of railway riders did not pay for their tickets in 2016. The European Development and Reconstruction Bank and the Export-Import Bank of Korea signed a USD 350k grant agreement to finance the technical side of the system.<\/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\/automotive-transportation\/\">Automotive + Transportation<\/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=\"636104\" 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=\"636104\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">15<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Banking + Finance<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/12\/20\/al-tawfeek-leasing-to-begin-offering-three-new-financing-services-next-year\/\">\r\n                            Al Tawfeek Leasing to begin offering three new financing services next year                        <\/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\/20\/al-tawfeek-leasing-to-begin-offering-three-new-financing-services-next-year\/\" 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();
