El Garhy reassured the host that bonds will be issued annually, with their value being determined according to GDP. The minister also talked about the praise Egypt\u2019s economic reform program received at the IMF and World Bank fall meetings and how that reflects renewed investor interest in Egypt (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3CQ8xUi9X8Q\">watch, runtime 5:38<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>It was otherwise a banal night on the airwaves, with the nation\u2019s sports minister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xi3BTX8QSdU\">promising that Egypt won\u2019t be kicked out of the World Cup<\/a> despite the Egyptian Football Association\u2019s failure to hold elections for its board and Amr Adib chatting with his brother Emad El Din about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2HNOCxDyvTs\">the economy<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0hs8KR9C7-g\">politics<\/a>.

That would basically facilitate the decision making process for investors to come into the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The finance minister also confirmed that <strong>Egypt\u2019s financing agreement with global banks, <\/strong><strong>secured as part of a repurchase (repo) transaction in 2016, is expected to be renewed this year<\/strong>. The USD 2 bn in repo funding was secured <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2016\/11\/13\/cbe-secures-usd-2-bn-financing-agreement-after-treasury-privately-places-usd-4-bn-in-bonds\/\">last November<\/a> against USD-denominated sovereign bonds issued in a private placement and are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange. <strong>El Garhy hinted that the funding amount could be increased with the renewal<\/strong>, saying \u201cit depends on the amount of the haircut, or discount. I think it will be improved. Last year it was 30%. I think this will improve this year and the discount could be only 25%, and that reflects improvement in the risk profile of Egypt.\u201d The consortium of international banks with which Egypt had signed the agreement <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/09\/14\/international-institutions-offer-to-increase-volume-of-cbe-repo-transactions-to-usd-5-bn\/\">had offered last month<\/a> to extend the financing agreement to USD 5 bn with a five-year maturity.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, <strong>El Garhy also confirmed plans to issue USD 3 bn and EUR 1 bn worth of<\/strong><strong>eurobonds<\/strong>, but said that no decision has been made on the timing of the issuance, \u201cbut most probably we start at the beginning of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Analysts expect growth to come in below government projections: <\/strong>The finance minister also said that with a focus on tourism, agriculture, and technology, the plan is to hit a \u201csteady\u201d 6% GDP growth rate over the next five-to-seven years starting from FY2018-19. Read that against a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nasdaq.com\/article\/egyptian-gdp-growth-seen-below-government-forecasts-inflation-easing-20171017-00078\">Reuters poll out yesterday<\/a> that suggests the market expects growth to clock in at something closer to 4.4% in the current state fiscal year. The expectation is \u201cwell below government projections of 5.0-5.25%\u201d and the IMF\u2019s of 4.5%. GDP growth in FY2018-19 is expected to be 4.6%, the poll found. \u201cOur forecast for GDP growth ... reflects robust growth in exports, stronger industrial production, rising natural gas production and recovering tourism, though high costs remain a challenge for the private sector,\u201d said Maya Senussi, a senior economist at Oxford Economics. The Reuters poll also expects core inflation to settle at 15% in FY2017-18 and drop to an average of 10% a year after.<\/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=\"638975\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"638976\" 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=\"638976\">\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\">THE MACRO PICTURE<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/10\/18\/an-increase-in-educated-women-in-the-mena-region-is-not-translating-to-jobs\/\">\r\n                            An increase in educated women in the MENA region is not translating to jobs                        <\/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\/18\/an-increase-in-educated-women-in-the-mena-region-is-not-translating-to-jobs\/\" 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 hermit state uses a handful of front companies to get access to the global financial system and cover up much of its trade, from selling coal and fuel to exporting weapons and to buy goods and services. North Korea\u2019s problem is that it needs to trade internationally in USD or EUR \u201cbut has to figure out ways to do it when none of its partners want to be the node where North Korea and the US overlap in the international financial system.\u201d The UN Panel of Experts on North Korea outlined how the country utilizes the system in Hong Kong to gain access to markets. Panel coordinator Hugh Griffiths explains that \u201cit should come as no surprise that Hong Kong is featured so prominently \u2026 It's the closest major international financial center to North Korea. It's the closest major offshore international financial center to North Korea. And historically, it's been a center of global and regional trade ... and with fewer questions asked and looser regulation than, say, Beijing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more? <\/strong>The New York Times had an excellent piece out on the weekend about how North Korea has gone from hacking joke to an emerging power that generated about USD 1 bn from cyberattacks and cybercrime last year. That\u2019s about one-third the value of the isolated nation\u2019s total exports. Former New York Times Cairo bureau chief David Kirkpatrick shares the byline on the story. <strong>Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/10\/15\/world\/asia\/north-korea-hacking-cyber-sony.html\"><strong>The World Once Laughed at North Korean Cyberpower.
