The UAE\u2019s energy strategy is to generate 11.2 GW of electricity from coal, having it make up 12% of the total national electricity generation by 2050. Egypt is planning a number of large-scale coal-fired power plants with Chinese and UAE investors, including a 1.32 GW plant in the Gulf of Suez. Similar moves are being done by Jordan, Oman and Iran. The increase can be attributed to volatility in gas and oil prices, leaving coal as a cheap and price-stable commodity. Despite commitments, renewable energy development has not been progressing as well in places such as Egypt. Regulatory hurdles and restrictions on private sector gas development regionally has also stemmed the region\u2019s reliance on it.<\/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\/the-macro-picture\/\">THE MACRO PICTURE<\/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=\"642714\" 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=\"642714\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">7<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Image of the Day<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/08\/21\/mercedes-unveil-the-mercedes-maybach-vision-6-cabriolet\/\">\r\n                            Mercedes unveil the Mercedes-Maybach Vision 6 Cabriolet                        <\/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\/21\/mercedes-unveil-the-mercedes-maybach-vision-6-cabriolet\/\" 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 article lauds the emergence of Egypt\u2019s new investment law, which it says will pave the way for foreign investors. The article runs through what we all know and pray for: that the float and the higher interest rates that came with it have allowed liquidity to flow freely and that the less-costly EGP is creating a sweet spot for those looking to export. While there are still some questions around the currency, holding rates steady will be taken by many as a sign of confidence and that the bull run the EGX30 has had will ripple out into other asset classes and the investment environment as a whole.

Luxottica controls almost 80% of the eyeglass market in the US, owning almost all major brands and eyeglass stores. The company announced<a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-essilor-m-a-luxottica-group-idUSKBN14Z110\">a USD 46 bn merger with Essilor International back in January<\/a>. The combined entity would hold a near 27% market share of the global market, with Johnson & Johnson coming in at a far second at a mere 3.9%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luxottica\u2019s monopoly has allowed it to dictate terms to and bully its competitors<\/strong>, a new documentary claims. It dropped Oakley from its stores when the latter challenged it on pricing, then took over the company when its share price dropped. Oh, and they also own the second-largest insurance company in America. It is unclear why antitrust regulators have let it go. But by maintaining the illusion of variously branded glasses and stores, the company has managed to create the illusion of a variety of choices.

An Earlier Than Previously Expected Scenario:<\/strong> Pharos Holding sees the CBE starting to curb interest rates earlier than previously expected (at the end of 2017). Leading indicators suggest that the absorption growth rate is decelerating significantly in 1Q2017-18. Furthermore, inflation appears to have already peaked following the fiscal reforms in July, with an expectation that inflation rates will ease in the coming months. The inflation rate in August will be crucial to determining whether the CBE will move to ease interest rates ahead of the firm\u2019s earlier expectations. <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/When-Will-the-CBE-Start-Monetary-Easing-An-Earlier-Than-Previously-Exp....pdf\">You can view the full report here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><p><span style=\"color: #299a0b; font-weight: bold;\">***<\/span><\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><strong>WTI:<\/strong> USD 48.52 (+0.02%)<br \/>\n <strong>Brent:<\/strong> USD 52.63 (-0.17%)<br \/>\n<strong>Natural Gas<\/strong> (Nymex, futures prices) USD 2.90 MMBtu, (+0.35%, September 2017 contract)<br \/>\n <strong>Gold:<\/strong> USD 1,289.00 \/ troy ounce (-0.20%)<br\n<strong>TASI:<\/strong> 7,209.24 (+0.42%) (YTD: -0.02%)<br \/>\n <strong>ADX:<\/strong> 4,492.63 (0.00%) (YTD: -1.18%)<br \/>\n <strong>DFM:<\/strong> 3,615.39 (+0.39%) (YTD: +2.39%)<br \/>\n <strong>KSE Weighted Index:<\/strong> 425.22 (+0.09%) (YTD: +11.87%)<br \/>\n <strong>QE:<\/strong> 9,133.93 (+0.30%) (YTD: -12.48%)<br \/>\n <strong>MSM:<\/strong> 4,913.19 (+0.49%) (YTD: -15.04%)<br \/>\n <strong>BB: <\/strong>1,312.34 (+1.03%) (YTD: +7.53%)<\/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\/the-market-yesterday\/\">The Market Yesterday<\/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=\"642747\" 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=\"calendar\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/08\/21\/642747\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-642747\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-642747 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-calendar wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\t\t<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-primary-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-primary-background-color has-background is-style-wide\">\n\n\t\t<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading mt-0 has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-normal-font-size\" style=\"padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n\t\t\t<strong> CALENDAR<\/strong>\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p>31 August-04 September (Thursday-Monday): Eid Al-Adha, national holiday (TBC) as specified by the Astronomical and Geophysics Institute.
