Hermes<\/strong>, meanwhile, believes that interest rates should drop fall 200 bps by December, said EFG Hermes head of research Ahmed Shams.

PayMob is an Egypt-based \u201celectronics payments solutions provider converting cash payments to electronic, using existing payment channels such as credit card, mobile wallet and cash.\u201d CTO and co-founder Mostafa Menessy says that the only thing \u201cmissing now are campaigns to spread awareness. It is very challenging to change what people have been used to doing for hundreds of years, i.e. paying in cash for goods or services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2026One service that could benefit from increased access to financial inclusion is Jordanian Arabic-language ebook store Yaqut<\/strong>, which is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/a8360e84-7215-11e7-aca6-c6bd07df1a3c\">featured in the Financial Times<\/a>. Founder Ammar Mardawi says that despite Yaqut\u2019s traction, it is finding monetization challenging. \u201cYaqut runs a freemium model, where most of the content is free with charges for some of the higher end items, but this, Mr Mardawi says, is not working. In part, the problem is that customers in countries such as Egypt often simply do not have the means to make electronic payments.\u201d<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"642564\" 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=\"642564\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">18<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">The Market Yesterday<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/08\/16\/642564\/\">\r\n                                                    <\/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\/08\/16\/642564\/\" 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(); navigator.clipboard.writeText('https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/08\/16\/642564\/')\">\n                    Copy Link                <\/a>\n\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/08\/16\/642564\/\">\n                    Facebook                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/facebook-icon2.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/intent\/post?text=&url=https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/08\/16\/642564\/\">\n                    X                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/twitter-icon.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/08\/16\/642564\/&title=\">\n                    LinkedIn                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/linkedin-icon.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=+https%3A%2F%2Fenterpriseam.com%2Fegypt%2F2017%2F08%2F16%2F642564%2F\">\n                    WhatsApp                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/whatsapp-icon.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\r\n                    \r\n                <\/div>\r\n\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/08\/16\/642564\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-642564\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-642564 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-the-market-yesterday tag-enterpriseam tag-the-market-yesterday wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><strong>EGP \/ USD CBE market average: <\/strong>Buy 17.72 | Sell 17.82<br \/>\n<strong>EGP \/ USD at CIB:<\/strong> Buy 17.72 | Sell 17.82<br \/>\n<strong>EGP \/ USD at NBE: <\/strong>Buy 17.73 | Sell 17.83<\/p>\n<p><strong>EGX30<\/strong> (TUESDAY): 13,102 (-0.3%)<br \/>\n <strong>Turnover:<\/strong> EGP 782 mn (15% below the 90-day average)<br \/>\n <strong>EGX 30 year-to-date<\/strong>: +6.1%<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE MARKET ON TUESDAY:<\/strong> The EGX30 ended Tuesday\u2019s session down 0.3%.
