<strong>LEGISLATION WATCH-<\/strong> September is almost upon us, and with it will come the antics of our esteemed members of the House of Representatives as they contemplate \u2014 and seek to impose their unique stamp on \u2014 the Ismail government\u2019s very busy legislative agenda. <strong>Here\u2019s what you need to know:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Date note set yet: <\/strong>President Abdel Fattah El Sisi has yet to decide when the fall session will begin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Amendments to the <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/07\/20\/proposed-amendments-to-the-cbe-and-banking-acts-could-enshrine-term-limits-for-mds\/\"><strong>Central Bank and Banking Act<\/strong><\/a><strong>:<\/strong> Proposed amendments stirred controversy when details emerged last month, particularly including over term limits for managing directors, CBE representation on bank boards, and a proposal that banks kick in 5% of their bottom lines annually for an industry development fund. The CBE is in talks with the Federation of Egyptian Banks to iron out these controversies, where we hear that progress is being made.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Bankruptcy Act:<\/strong> This long-awaited piece of legislation is expected to improve Egypt\u2019s ranking in the World Bank\u2019s Doing Business report by introducing for the first time measures that would give struggling companies a window in which to reorganize. The bill would effectively decriminalize bankruptcy and could make it possible for companies to request time to re-structure under US \u201cchapter 11\u201d style bankruptcy protection. This bill is expected to be among the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/08\/06\/on-the-horizon-170\/\">first key pieces of legislation that House will look at in the fall session<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>M&A to be subject to prior approval from competition authority?<\/strong> The Egyptian Competition Authority is pushing for the introduction of legislation within the coming two months that would require its stamp of approval on M&A transactions. At its initial phase, M&A larger than EGP 100 mn will require the ECA\u2019s approval, but <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/08\/01\/eca-to-introduce-bill-on-oversight-of-ma-within-the-next-few-months\/\">ECA chief Mona El Garf hinted<\/a> that the bill may be amended at some point in the future to include smaller transactions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/03\/14\/spotlight-on-the-universal-healthcare-act\/\"><strong>Universal Healthcare Act<\/strong><\/a><strong>:<\/strong> Probably one of the most important social legislation this year, the Universal Healthcare aims to completely revamp healthcare in the country by ensuring quality of service in all public hospitals and making them available to the every Egyptian. Implementing the Act is expected to cost the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/08\/03\/universal-healthcare-act-to-cost-state-coffers-egp-130-bn-in-fy2017-18\/\">state EGP 130 bn this current fiscal year<\/a>. Employers and workers will both be paying into the national health insurance fund. The Ismail cabinet is expected to review the law today with an eye towards shepherding it through the House in September.<\/p>\n<p>Other bills to keep your eye on:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><strong>The <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/07\/02\/draft-automotive-directive-to-be-ready-in-the-near-future-eama-head\/\"><strong>Automotive Directive<\/strong><\/a><strong>:<\/strong> The law, which has been stalled due to an outcry from auto importers, may be <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/08\/14\/automotive-directive-could-be-final-by-november-house-industry-committee-chair\/\">put up to a vote by November<\/a>. It would give assemblers incentives to go further up the value chain into manufacturing, giving them a measure of protection against what they say are unfair benefits enjoyed by Turkish, EU and Moroccan imports.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Legislation to set prices for private sector healthcare:<\/strong> The latest hair-brained scheme from the Health Ministry to cap prices for private healthcare is in the midst of \u201cnational dialogue,\u201d which we hope turns into a national filibuster.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Privatizing railway?<\/strong> House to introduce new legislation that would allow the private sector to directly build, manage, and conduct maintenance of<a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/08\/16\/what-were-tracking-on-16-august-2017\/\">railway infrastructure<\/a>.

EIB\u2019s contribution raises the fund\u2019s total capital raised to USD 85 mn. <strong>Ezdehar tells us its investor base includes<\/strong> the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the CDC Group, the Dutch Development Bank (FMO), and other Egyptian businessmen and women. The Ezdehar Egypt Mid-Cap fund is <strong>a generalist fund eyeing growing Egyptian companies and family enterprises. <\/strong>It typically seeks to invest a minimum of USD 5 mn per transaction and to work closely with management teams in supporting scaling up their operations. Managing Director Emad Barsoum tells us Ezdehar is \u201cbuilding on Egypt\u2019s large market and strong fundamentals, as well as the opportunity the mid-cap segment presents in terms of development and return on investment. Having the backing of leading global financial institutions and experienced Egyptian businessmen and women is a vote of confidence for the team and the Egyptian economy as a whole.\u201d<\/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=\"643116\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"643117\" 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=\"643117\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">5<\/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\/08\/30\/poor-management-of-water-and-sanitation-costs-mena-a-yearly-usd-21-bn\/\">\r\n                            Poor management of water and sanitation costs MENA a yearly USD 21 bn                        <\/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\/30\/poor-management-of-water-and-sanitation-costs-mena-a-yearly-usd-21-bn\/\" 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();

Poor management of water resources is costing the region about 1% of its annual GDP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong>Water productivity<\/strong> \u2014 in other words, how much return you get for every drop of water used \u2014 <strong>in the Middle East in general is the lowest on average in the world<\/strong>,\u201d says Anders J\u00e4gerskog, a co-author of the report. Water subsidies are problematic, as the region\u2019s population pays the lowest water tariffs in the world, and states spend the highest proportion of GDP on public water subsidies, says J\u00e4gerskog. Furthermore, over half of wastewater goes back to the environment untreated. Along with better management, desalination and recycling could help. <strong>The report says governments could save as much as USD 10 bn every year if better irrigation and water storage and delivery systems are implemented.<\/strong> Agricultural production could also increase by up to 8%. This would benefit Egypt, Syria and Iran the most, as they have the largest tracts of irrigated land regionally.<\/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=\"643118\" 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=\"643118\">\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\/08\/30\/southern-gas-corridor-could-be-a-competitor-for-egypts-gas-hub-ambitions\/\">\r\n                            Southern Gas Corridor could be a competitor for Egypt\u2019s gas hub ambitions                        <\/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\/30\/southern-gas-corridor-could-be-a-competitor-for-egypts-gas-hub-ambitions\/\" 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();

Egypt was one of the top four African nations who have requested user data from Facebook, alongside Nigeria, Tunisia, and Botswana.

While the newswire speculates that the move comes as part of the company\u2019s strategy to reshape its tattered reputation which led to the downfall of CEO Travis Kalanick, Sullivan insists that the move is just part of his team\u2019s work to beef up customer security. There had been allegations that Uber\u2019s \u201cGod View\u201d was used to track a journalist who has been critical to the company. The move to tighten customer privacy comes amid allegations that Egypt has been asking Uber and its biggest local rival Careem to provide it with user data. Sharing of this data may be mandatory for the company, as <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/06\/11\/govt-allegedly-asked-uber-careem-to-divulge-real-time-data\/\">the New York Times had reported<\/a> that the new Ride Hailing Apps Act would oblige these companies to provide the government with user data.<\/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\/worth-reading\/\">worth reading<\/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=\"643125\" 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=\"643125\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">9<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Diplomacy + Foreign Trade<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/08\/30\/romania-egypt-sign-agreements-on-tourism-scrapping-diplomat-visa-requirements\/\">\r\n                            Romania, Egypt sign agreements on tourism, scrapping diplomat visa requirements                        <\/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\/30\/romania-egypt-sign-agreements-on-tourism-scrapping-diplomat-visa-requirements\/\" 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();

Real GDP growth rate rose to 4.9% in 4QFY2016-17 from 4.3% in 3QFY2016-17 in no small measure as a result of the EGP float. This improvement is expected to continue to 1Q2017-18 on the back of interest in the energy sector and improved tourism receipts. The unemployment rate stabilized at 11.98% in 4Q2016-17, while aggregate system deposits expanded by 6.1% in 2Q2017. Meanwhile, net Interest income jumped from 4.0% as of 4Q2016 to record 4.6% as of 1Q2017. On the flipside, the EGX underperformed, with small cap companies being the best performers. <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2017\/8\/686.pdf\">You can view the full reports here (pdf)<\/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 46.32 (-0.54%)<br \/>\n <strong>Brent:<\/strong> USD 51.95 (+0.12%)<br \/>\n<strong>Natural Gas<\/strong> (Nymex, futures prices) USD 2.96 MMBtu, (+1.23%, September 2017 contract)<br \/>\n <strong>Gold:<\/strong> USD 1,313.80 \/ troy ounce (-0.39%)<br\n<strong>TASI:<\/strong> 7,258.64 (-0.04%) (YTD: +0.67%)<br \/>\n <strong>ADX:<\/strong> 4,463.56 (-0.48%) (YTD: -1.82%)<br \/>\n <strong>DFM:<\/strong> 3,610.77 (-0.06%) (YTD: +2.26%)<br \/>\n <strong>KSE Weighted Index:<\/strong> 432.36 (+0.32%) (YTD: +13.75%)<br \/>\n <strong>QE:<\/strong> 8,858.9 (-0.92%) (YTD: -15.12%)<br \/>\n <strong>MSM:<\/strong> 5,047.01 (+0.87%) (YTD: -12.72%)<br \/>\n <strong>BB: <\/strong>1,298.79 (-0.14%) (YTD: +6.42%)<\/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=\"643146\" 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\/30\/643146\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-643146\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-643146 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 as specified by the Astronomical and Geophysics Institute.
