We\u2019d like to start off first by thanking all our friends who have wished us well over our extended, end of year break. They really made our day.<\/p><p><strong>As we are still in need of recovery after an exciting year, we\u2019ll be running shorter issues for the next few days.<\/strong> We\u2019ll be off for New Years and return to our regularly scheduled programming next week.<\/p><p><strong>We\u2019ve been good this year:<\/strong> As the countdown to the new year begins, we have a lot to be thankful for this year. Not least of which was our economy finally looking like it\u2019s turned a corner after a six years of turmoil. GDP for 1Q2017-18 reached 5.2%, up from 3.4% in FY2016-17, while the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/12\/07\/overall-budget-deficit-declines-to-2-of-gdp-in-1qfy2017-18-from-2-2-in-last-fiscal-year\/\">overall budget deficit declined<\/a> to 2% of GDP. <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/12\/11\/annual-inflation-rate-drops-to-26-in-november\/\">Annual inflation dropped below<\/a> the 30% mark in November for the first time this year to 26%. Zohr has officially launched production and tourism has weathered the instability of a Russian travel ban.<\/p><p><strong>So Santa better come through next year:<\/strong> Going into 2018, we have a lot to be excited about. Zohr\u2019s launch of production means that we are set to reverse the energy environment and begin exporting gas. With inflation now under steady control and a continued projected decline, we anticipate interest rates will come down again. And to top it all off, flights from Russia are expected to come back in February.<\/p><p><strong>We had some interesting IPOs this year<\/strong>, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/12\/05\/ibnsina-pharma-prices-ipo-at-egp-5-80-per-share-says-institutional-offering-is-more-than-17x-oversubscribed\/\">highly successful Ibnsina Pharma IPO<\/a>, and thrilling M&amp;As, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/12\/10\/sale-of-ncmp-to-cairo-three-a-closed-on-thursday\/\">sale of the National Company for Maize Products<\/a> to Cairo Three A. The pipeline next year looks good, especially considering that it is the first year of te state IPO program. We have more in the Speed Round.<\/p><p><strong>Throw in elections and the first year of a new national health insurance program<\/strong>, and we have a lot to look forward to.<\/p><p><strong>On to the news: Egypt will receive USD 2 bn in the third tranche of the IMF\u2019s USD 12 bn loan this week.

He also said an IMF mission would visit Egypt in May for a new review, upon which the tranche\u2019s disbursal is likely contingent. The third tranche of USD 2 bn, which is set to be received this week, will be used for budgetary support, a source at the central bank <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shorouknews.com\/news\/view.aspx?cdate=24122017&amp;id=5212d59a-7d70-4429-808d-dabd76ada426\">told Al Shorouk<\/a>. Once the fourth USD 2 bn portion is disbursed, total amount of funding Egypt will have received from the IMF will be USD 8 bn.<\/p><p><strong>Threat to US aid to Egypt?<\/strong> US President Donald Trump has threatened to withhold \u201cbns\u201d in US aid to countries that voted in favor of a UN General Assembly resolution rejecting his recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2017\/dec\/20\/donald-trump-threat-cut-aid-un-jerusalem-vote\">The Guardian reports<\/a>. \u201cThe warning appeared aimed largely at UN members in Africa, Asia and Latin America who are regarded as more vulnerable to US pressure\u2026 Egypt, which drafted Monday\u2019s UN security council resolution which the US vetoed, is particularly vulnerable, receiving USD 1.2 bn in US aid last year.\u201d 128 countries voted in favor of the UNGA resolution, 9 against, with 35 abstentions. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/apps\/news\/story.asp?NewsID=58330#.Wj9v9lT1W3I\">The UN News Centre<\/a> says \u201cby an overwhelming majority, Member States in the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday \u2018demanded\u2019 that all countries comply with Security Council resolutions regarding the status of Jerusalem.\u201d Worth noting that \u201cresolutions in the Assembly are non-binding and do not carry the force of international law as do measures agreed in the Security Council.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/USUN\/status\/943981504006426624\">The US Mission to the UN insisted<\/a> the US embassy will be moved to Jerusalem, with Ambassador Nikki Haley saying \u201cno vote in the United Nations will make any difference on that. But this vote will make a difference on how Americans look at theUN, and on how we look at countries who disrespect us in the UN.\u201d<\/p>\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!--

Monetary Policy Committee to keep interest rates on hold when they meet on Thursday<\/strong>, Pharos Holding\u2019s Ramy Oraby says. \u201cWe believe that the current disinflation trend will continue, leading the annual inflation rate downwards to 14.4% YoY in 4Q 2018, which is in line with the CBE inflation target of 13% YoY (\u00b1 3%) by 4Q 2018. This supports the MPC ease the current tight monetary stance, however, the timing remains conditional upon the materialization of three potential risks,\u201d he says. Oraby says those risks are the surge in oil price, a higher real absorption of domestic demand growth, and the projected pace of the monetary policy normalization in advanced economies.<\/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\/what-were-tracking-this-week\/\">What We\u2019re Tracking This Week<\/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=\"636184\" 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=\"636184\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">3<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">ON THE HORIZON<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/12\/26\/on-the-horizon-117\/\">\r\n                            On the horizon                        <\/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\/26\/on-the-horizon-117\/\" 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();

He added that it was unlikely that the sale of the bank will take place outside capital markets, <a href=\"https:\/\/alborsanews.com\/2017\/12\/25\/1074500\">according to Al Borsa<\/a>. Gad\u2019s statement follows statements attributed to senior CBE officials that the central was reconsidering scrapping the IPOs of BdC and United Bank in favor of a stake sale to investors. EFG Hermes had been tapped to manage the listing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gad added that EFG Hermes expects to hold three IPOs in Egypt and one or two IPOs in the United Arab Emirates in 2018<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/af.reuters.com\/article\/commoditiesNews\/idAFL8N1OO05I\">according to Reuters<\/a>. Two of the Egypt listing are expected to be Oriental Petrochemicals Company and Unionaire Group. Gad said he expects Unionaire\u2019s IPO to be the largest in Egypt since 2015, <a href=\"https:\/\/alborsanews.com\/2017\/12\/25\/1074502\">according to Al Borsa<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What about United Bank?<\/strong> The fate of a United Bank listing is less clear, as banking sources say that a number of Kuwaiti banks are interested in acquiring United and have entered into talks with the bank. United Bank\u2019s Islamic banking license has made appealing to Kuwaiti banks, <a href=\"https:\/\/alborsanews.com\/2017\/12\/24\/1074296\">they tell Al Borsa<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Problems with the state IPO program?<\/strong> Something appears to be afoot with the state IPO program, as sources report that there are divisions among the government on the timing of the program. Senior members of the Ismail cabinet have been pushing for releasing the timeline and lineup of the state IPO program by mid-January, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almasryalyoum.com\/news\/details\/1236049\">government sources tell Al Masry Al Youm<\/a> on Sunday. The push comes as the committee formed by the cabinet to run the state IPO program has yet to issue anything definitive about the program. These come amid concerns that the companies slated for listing are not yet ready, said Mohamed Maher, deputy head of the capital markets division of the Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce. He added that a final decision on when and how to pull the trigger has not yet been reached by the ministries of investment, finance and justice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Possible legislation for the program: <\/strong>The move may require a political solution, and the cabinet may seek to pass legislation in the House of Representatives for the program, government sources told the newspaper. This would apparently take some political heat off the government for the outcomes of this key investment policy, they 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=\"636201\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"636202\" 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=\"636202\">\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\/26\/coptic-christians-fear-festive-season-attacks-will-not-give-in\/\">\r\n                            Coptic Christians fear festive season attacks, will not give in                        <\/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\/26\/coptic-christians-fear-festive-season-attacks-will-not-give-in\/\" 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();
