The ban\u2019s lifting will be effective today and will be provisional for a year or until another emergency amendment is introduced, said EgyptAir CEO and Chairman Safwat Musallam, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-security-egypt-idUSKBN19W1X3\">according to Reuters<\/a>. He added, however, the ban remains in place for flights to the UK. Civil Aviation Minister Sherif Fathi welcomed the move, adding that the ministry has been working in coordination with the \u201centities\u201d and bodies at Cairo International Airport to implement new security measures on flights to New York. Entities here is probably a reference to a security delegation from the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) which arrived today to inspect Cairo\u2019s airport.<\/p><p><strong>Hold your horses, the lifting of the ban for Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Morocco is pending an assessment by the DHS in the coming weeks<\/strong>, its spokesman David Lapan said, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-airlines-idUSKBN19W2N0?il=0\">according to Reuters<\/a>. Lapan said DHS would confirm the removal of the measures for EgyptAir after they verified the airline's security procedures. We\u2019ll have to wait for today to see when exactly the ban will be lifted and hopefully try to reconcile these two contradictory statements.<\/p><p><strong>More banks have started to move interest rates<\/strong> in response to the CBE\u2019s 200 bps interest rate hikes last Thursday. <a href=\"https:\/\/alborsanews.com\/2017\/07\/09\/1036189\">By Al Borsa\u2019s tally<\/a>, 11 banks have moved monthly interest rates on deposit certificates with variable interest rates to between 14.75-19.25% yesterday. These include Kuwait National Bank and United Bank. From what we can tell, Banque Du Caire was the first among the top three state-owned banks to move interest rates. State-owned banks reportedly held had their Alco (assets and liabilities committees) meetings yesterday, but nothing has yet emerged from Banque Misr or the National Bank of Egypt on how they will move.<\/p><p><strong>Did the interest rate cuts wipe out gains from the fuel and electricity subsidy budget cuts? <\/strong>Beltone Financial seems to think so in a research note it put out yesterday. The investment bank sees the rate hike as having tacked on an additional EGP 50 bn in debt service, essentially wiping the gains made from a near EGP 51 bn in savings from subsidy cuts. This appears to go <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/07\/11\/what-were-tracking-on-11-july-2017\/\">against the wisdom of Finance Minister Amr El Garhy<\/a> who denied the impact on the hikes on the budget.<\/p><p><strong>The embattled automotive sector may be among some of the hardest hit industries by the hike<\/strong>, with the Egyptian Automotive Manufacturers Association <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almalnews.com\/Story\/339678\/18\/%D8%AA%D9%88%D9%82%D8%B9%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%A8%D8%AA%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%AC%D8%B9-%D9%85%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%B9%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%AA-10%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%A6%D8%A9---%D9%88%D8%A5%D8%B1%D8%AC%D8%A7%D8%A1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AE%D8%B7%D8%B7-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D9%88%D8%B3%D8%B9%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D9%84%D9%84%D8%B4%D8%B1%D9%83%D8%A7%D8%AA\">saying through its CEO Hussein Moustafa<\/a> that move may compact declines in sales by another 5-10%. Beltone also sees that the some of the biggest beneficiaries of the rate hikes include commercial banks, real estate developers, petrochemical and fertilizer manufacturers due to their low debt and land assets.<\/p><p>Meanwhile,<strong> the Support Egypt Coalition \u2014 Parliament\u2019s largest electoral bloc \u2014 is looking to hold a meeting to discuss the impact interest rate hikes on investment<\/strong> with the heads of four House of Representative committees some time this week or the next, <a href=\"https:\/\/alborsanews.com\/2017\/07\/11\/1036776\">Al Borsa reports<\/a>.<\/p><p><strong>The new <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/07\/09\/government-announces-new-electricity-prices\/\"><strong>electricity prices<\/strong><\/a><strong> came into effect when it was published in the Official Gazette on Monday<\/strong>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youm7.com\/story\/2017\/7\/10\/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AC%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%AF%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B1%D8%B3%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D8%AA%D9%86%D8%B4%D8%B1-%D9%82%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D9%85%D8%AD%D9%85%D8%AF-%D8%B4%D8%A7%D9%83%D8%B1-%D8%A8%D8%AA%D8%B9%D8%AF%D9%8A%D9%84-%D8%AA%D8%B9%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%81%D8%A9-%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%B9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%83%D9%87%D8%B1%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%A1\/3319981\">according to Youm7<\/a>.

Prime Minister Sherif Ismail will be meeting with the ministers of agriculture and manpower to set a final price, according to Agriculture Ministry spokesman Hamed Abdel Dayem. As it stands, the proposed price increases would have the government buying long-staple cotton from the Delta for EGP 3,000 per qintar, up from EGP 1,250 before. Short- and medium-staple cotton from Upper Egypt would be priced at EGP 2,500 per qintar, up from EGP 1,100 before. The government is also looking to cultivate 220k feddans of cotton next year, Ismail told the press. This season\u2019s cotton harvest season had <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/05\/07\/egypts-cotton-harvest-falls-short-of-govt-targets\/\">fallen far below the government\u2019s targets<\/a>, reaching only 127k feddans of the planned 250k feddans. This was also 3% lower than the 131k feddans planted last year.

CIB, QNB Al Ahli Bank, Banque Misr, and Credit Agricole will contribute to the loan.

Beltone also sees TE as being the mobile network operator most negatively affected by last week\u2019s interest rate hikes, as it has relied on credit facilities to finance its 4G license and infrastructure.<\/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\/telecoms-ict\/\">Telecoms + ICT<\/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=\"645148\" 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=\"645148\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">12<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Banking + Finance<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/07\/12\/arabian-cement-borrows-egp-231-mn-from-national-bank-of-egypt\/\">\r\n                            Arabian Cement borrows EGP 231 mn from National Bank of Egypt                        <\/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\/07\/12\/arabian-cement-borrows-egp-231-mn-from-national-bank-of-egypt\/\" 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();
