Chapter 1 \u2014 the main event and which will delve into global economic growth and of specific countries (including Egypt) \u2014 is not out yet. <strong>We anticipate it will be out not long before the IMF and World Bank fall meetings on 9-10 October in DC<\/strong>. Its conclusions: Wage growth in advanced economies is slowing down thanks to automation, market forces and weakened productivity output; developing economies will be more hurt by climate change than advanced ones \u2014 and not much can be done about it on a national level; and the same economic forces that tend to amplify the domestic effects of fiscal policy also shape spillovers in cross border trade partners.<\/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\/on-the-horizon\/\">ON THE HORIZON<\/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=\"638304\" 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=\"638304\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Enterprise+: Last Night\u2019s Talk Shows<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/10\/02\/capmas-census-results-continue-to-occupy-the-airwaves\/\">\r\n                            CAPMAS census results continue to occupy the airwaves                        <\/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\/10\/02\/capmas-census-results-continue-to-occupy-the-airwaves\/\" 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();

Yet when we look deeper at the performance of EM value stocks, one notices this pattern collapsing in this latest rally, writes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/b4c182f0-a2a8-11e7-9e4f-7f5e6a7c98a2\">the FT\u2019s Steve Johnson<\/a>. Since 2000, value stocks had outperformed growth equities in every USD sell-off cycle with the exception of this latest one. The correlation between USD sell-offs and the ratio value and growth stocks over the past four cycles had averaged 85%. This fell to -89% this year, says Geoff Dennis, head of global EM equity strategy at UBS.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This \u201canomaly\u201d is reflection of changes in the fortunes of key emerging markets sectors.<\/strong> Historically, energy and commodities stocks have strongly outperformed the MSCI EM index as a whole during periods of USD weakness, while IT stocks have markedly underperformed. With EM IT stocks bolstered by growth in China (particularly from internet stocks such as Alibaba and Tencent) and energy prices plummeting, insiders, including JP Morgan\u2019s chief investment officer for EMs Richard Titherington, believe this shift is behind the break with history.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div

That\u2019s why, following President Abdel Fattah El Sisi\u2019s declaration of 2017 as the Year of the Egyptian Woman, the National Council of Women launched an awareness-raising campaign entitled \u201cTaa Marbouta\u201d to promote women\u2019s social, political and economic empowerment in Egypt. Nahla Zeitoun writes for <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.worldbank.org\/arabvoices\/secret-egyptian-women\">the World Bank\u2019s Arab Voices blog<\/a> that \u201cthe slogan of the campaign, \u2018Taa Marbouta is the Secret of your Power,\u2019 shows that the designation as \u2018feminine\u2019 should no longer be considered an obstacle to achievements.\u201d The campaign includes three PSAs supported by the NCW, UNFPA, UNDP, UN Women, USAID, and the Swedish International Development Agency.
