Trump channeled his familiar inner creep (or Sting and the Police for that matter), telling countries \u201cwe\u2019ll be watching you.\u201d \u201cThey take hundreds of mn of USD and even bns of USD, and then they vote against us,\u201d he said at a White House cabinet. \u201cWell, we\u2019ll be watching those votes. Let them vote against us, we\u2019ll save a lot. We don\u2019t care,\u201d he added, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/national-security\/us-threatens-countries-with-loss-of-aid-over-un-jerusalem-vote\/2017\/12\/20\/3ddacadc-e5bc-11e7-833f-155031558ff4_story.html?utm_term=.c44870129971\">according to the Washington Post<\/a>. His UN hall monitor Nikki Haley warned on Twitter that \u201cthe US will be taking names\u201d of countries that support the resolution.<\/p><p><strong>The threat puts Egypt in a bit of an awkward position, as it had been the one to introduce the resolution in the UN Security Council earlier in the week. <\/strong>The US had vetoed the resolution which garnered support from all the other 14 Security Council members, taking it to a non-binding General Assembly vote today. It could further complicate matters on the aid front. The US State Department had <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/08\/23\/us-withholds-usd-290-mn-in-military-aid-to-egypt\/\">frozen nearly USD 300 mn in military aid<\/a> to Egypt in August, citing human rights concerns. Jordan, the only other country besides Egypt and Israel to receive aid higher than USD 1 bn, also stands a lot to lose if the decision goes through.<\/p><p><strong>It is our sincerest hope that Trump is distracted by more pressing matters, such as Disney\u2019s horrific robot statue of him<\/strong> in the Hall of Presidents, which is driving Twitter and <a href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Entertainment\/comedians-mock-haunted-trump-robot-disney-world\/story?id=51899594\">late night talk show hosts<\/a> wild. We see the statue and Saudi Arabia\u2019s Sofia striking up quite the pairing.<\/p><p><strong>Trump is likely flush from his first true legislative success in his entire year in office after the US House passed the Republican USD 1.5 tn tax reform plan<\/strong> on Wednesday. The overhaul, the first in 30 years, drops the corporate rate to 21%, from 35%, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/12\/20\/us\/politics\/tax-bill-republicans.html\">according to the New York Times<\/a>.<\/p><p><strong>Prime Minister Sherif Ismail is scheduled to arrive in Cairo from Germany this evening<\/strong>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shorouknews.com\/news\/view.aspx?cdate=20122017&amp;id=041abe04-1c93-40e3-aef6-31dbdb1a7423\">Al Shorouk reports<\/a>.

It remains unclear when he is expected to return to work.<\/p><p><strong>More great news for EMs heading into 2018<\/strong>, as investors have raised their holdings of emerging markets sovereign bonds to a three-year high, even as average EM sovereign credit ratings have plunged to their lowest level since early 2010, writes Steve Johnson for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/d54772ba-e0cd-11e7-a8a4-0a1e63a52f9c\">the Financial Times<\/a>. EM debt accounted for 11.5% of the assets of the bond fund industry at the end of November, up from a low of 9.7% in February 2016, according to data collated by the Institute of International Finance. The move is a sign of an increasingly desperate hunt for yield, irrespective of a wave of credit downgrades this year in places such as China, Brazil, Turkey, South Africa, Nigeria, Chile, Ecuador and Lebanon.<\/p><p><strong>And the party looks set to continue in 2018.<\/strong> \u201cThe EM rally we saw this year will probably extend into 2018, but after a period of strong growth and low inflation, some adjustment will be inevitable,\u201d Hideo Shimomura, chief fund manager at Mitsubishi UFJ Kokusai Asset Management, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2017-12-19\/the-party-s-not-over-yet-for-emerging-markets-dream-rally\">tells Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p><p><strong>This all bodes well for Egypt, which heads to the bond market <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/12\/20\/usd-3-4-bn-usd-denominated-eurobond-slotted-for-late-january\/\"><strong>in late January<\/strong><\/a> with a USD 3-4 bn USD denominated eurobond issuance.

chapter and verse in Speed Round, below) and the <strong>UN General Assembly\u2019s scheduled vote<\/strong> on the Egypt-drafted resolution on Jerusalem.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The IMF\u2019s praise of Egypt\u2019s fiscal reforms and the strength of its banking sector is \u201cconsidered a message of confidence,\u201d<\/strong> CBE Assistant Sub-Governor of the Banking Reform Sector <strong>Hany Genena told Masaa DMC\u2019s Osama Kamal<\/strong>. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DEOHZ3313BM\">watch, runtime: 6:06<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The USD 2 bn tranche will be repaid over 10 years, and most of Egypt\u2019s loans also carry long-term repayment periods<\/strong>, Genena said. This includes the USD 3-4 bn eurobonds the government plans to issue in 1Q2018, which will have tenures of five, 10, and 30 years. Genena noted that Egypt plans to pay USD 12 bn in debt services next year (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=M_MGCDVPkpI\">watch, runtime: 6:05<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kol Youm\u2019s Amr Adib delved into the political repercussions of the planned UN General Assembly vote<\/strong>, particularly after US President Donald Trump said he will \u201cwatch out\u201d for the countries that support the resolution to rescind America\u2019s Jerusalem declaration. Adib ignored the nearly unanimous outcry against the declaration and said that Trump specifically meant Egypt, which is paying the price for defending Jerusalem. He defiantly told Trump that Egypt would not bow down on the issue, even if the US were to permanently cut off its military aid (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=T1L_e-B6iiY\">watch, runtime: 5:00<\/a>).

The sign-off brings total disbursements to about USD 6.08 bn, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imf.org\/en\/News\/Articles\/2017\/12\/20\/pr17511-second-review-under-the-extended-fund-facility-with-egypt?cid=em-COM-123-36393\">the IMF said in a statement<\/a>. \u201cEgypt\u2019s reform program is yielding encouraging results. The economy is showing welcome signs of stabilization, with GDP growth recovering, inflation moderating, fiscal consolidation remaining on track, and international reserves reaching their highest level since 2011,\u201d said the IMF\u2019s First Deputy Managing Director David Lipton.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The IMF reserved particular praise for Egypt\u2019s central bank:<\/strong> \u201cBy tightening monetary policy early in the year, the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) has managed to reverse high inflation, which was the main risk to macroeconomic stability. <strong>The continuation of this disinflationary trend could open the door to a gradual easing of interest rates<\/strong>, but the CBE should remain vigilant and be prepared to tighten the monetary stance if demand pressures reemerge,\u201d said Lipton. He added that the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/12\/03\/cbe-sets-1-entrance-fee-on-fx-investments-through-foreign-repatriation-mechanism\/\">CBE\u2019s decision to introduce a fee upon entry for the repatriation mechanism<\/a> could help enhance flexibility of the EGP.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lipton also warned that while the primary surplus targets for 2017-18 and 2018-19 are achievable, they are subject to risks<\/strong>, including from higher oil prices. \u201cTherefore, continued reform of energy subsidies is critical for achieving the program\u2019s fiscal objectives. Over the medium term, the authorities need to implement tax policy reforms and modernize tax and customs administration to create fiscal space for much-needed investment in human capital and infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vice Minister of Finance Ahmed Kouchouk said he expects the USD 2 bn disbursement to arrive in the coming days.<\/strong> In a call-in to TEN TV on Wednesday (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DPQuoqTYl_A\">watch, runtime 2:25<\/a>), he added that disbursements have usually arrived days after a decision from the executive board. Kouchouk reminded viewers that the reform program will be reviewed three more times before the IMF completes disbursing the USD 12 bn loan by June 2019.
