Federation of Egyptian Industries member Mohamed Ghoneim told Amer that a lot of meds will disappear from the market now that the Health Ministry has agreed to raise the prices of some products. Pharmacists Syndicate Chief Mohie Ebeid then said that the Health Ministry should reconsider its new pricing structure. \u201cSmall manufacturers will suffer if the percentage of increase is too low and will not be able to go on working,\u201d Ebeid said, adding that it would be unfair to allow only large-scale manufacturers to raise the prices of meds that are already expensive. \u201cThese are only 30 or so companies and they allocate around 60% of their revenues to advertising and not the production process itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phase two trials of fuel smart card system have begun: <\/strong>Lobna Assal from Al Hayah Al Youm spoke with Petroleum Ministry spokesperson Hamdy Abdel Aziz, who told the host that phase two trials have already started and \u201cthat <strong>6.3 mn fuel smart cards have been issued<\/strong>.\u201d Abdel Aziz added that the putting the smart cards into use does not mean that fuel prices will be rising or that quantities will be limited (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iLD61RV63fs\">watch,<\/a> runtime 4:54).<\/p>\n\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\/enterprise-last-nights-talk-shows\/\">Enterprise+: Last Night\u2019s Talk Shows<\/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=\"652130\" 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=\"652130\">\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\">Speed Round<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/01\/02\/govt-approves-investment-law-draft\/\">\r\n                            Gov\u2019t approves investment law draft                        <\/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\/01\/02\/govt-approves-investment-law-draft\/\" 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 Council will then forward the law to the House of Representatives for debate. Investment Minister <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shorouknews.com\/news\/view.aspx?cdate=01012017&id=93312f13-aa1d-4dad-872b-e89bd9ebde73\">Dalia Khorshid said<\/a> her ministry has already begun drafting the executive regulations for the act and added that the bill is one of a number of pieces of legislation that aim to improve the investment climate in Egypt. The law does not impact any existing agreements or benefits already in place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who benefits? <\/strong>Priority industries, the ministry said, include manufacturing, mining and quarrying, land reclamation, agricultural production, transportation, oil and gas, energy, hospital care, hotels, CIT, education services, and sports investments, among others. We don\u2019t really get the sports bit (though our ballooning waistlines could benefit), but the rest of it is really on point \u2014 and we\u2019re delighted to see communications and information technology included.<\/p>\n<p>The General Authority for Investment (GAFI) will be the sole authority responsible for providing permits to establish companies under the investment law. <strong>You\u2019ll be able to incorporate a company online<\/strong> and, once the system is in place, it will become the only way for companies to be set up under the law. The law requires GAFI to assess requests to form companies under the investment act within one working day and <strong>guarantees that foreign investors will be treated the same as domestic ones<\/strong> with protection against nationalisation, confiscation, and immediate permit cancellation and any decisions that would add financial requirements to investors without GAFI\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The law also allows investors to repatriate profits freely<\/strong> and to import inputs without having to register with the import registry. Companies are also allowed to <strong>employ expats up to 10% of the business\u2019 workforce<\/strong>, increasing it to up to 20% in case the company requires specific specialties not available in the local labour market.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Incentives include exemptions from stamp and registration tax for five years<\/strong> and a restriction on customs duties to 2% on all inputs and machinery imports, as well as a yet-to-be determined incentives based on the industry and the geographic location of the project. The details on this last bit are unclear, but that\u2019s the stuff that\u2019s typically left to executive regulations. <strong>We expect the additional exemptions and incentives will be centered around Upper Egypt, Port Said and the New Administrative Capital <\/strong>in line with a <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2016\/11\/02\/supreme-investment-council-adopts-17-pro-investment-policies\/\">policy statement from the Supreme Investment Council<\/a> made on 1 November 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, <strong>the act does not appear to cover private free zones<\/strong>, extending incentives kindly to public free zones and special investment \/ economic zones, if we\u2019re reading it correctly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can download the full draft of investment law <\/strong>on our website in either <a

emerging EMEA picks are focused on Russia, as investors \u201cseek bargains in politically stable countries.\u201d<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2016-12-27\/top-2017-emerging-emea-picks-are-all-things-russia-avoid-turkey\">Bloomberg\u2019s Ahmed Namatalla and Selcuk Gokoluk<\/a> say \u201calmost everybody loves Russia and wants to get as far away as possible from Turkey.\u201d 2017\u2019s top calls are \u201ccentered on markets where the political climate is improving and assets are less vulnerable to external shocks arising from higher U.S. borrowing costs and President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s policy announcements.\u201d <strong>For currencies:<\/strong> UBS is betting on Russia\u2019s Ruble, JPMorgan Chase expects the Czech Koruna to be resilient, and Morgan Stanley bets on a Polish Zloty rebound. <strong>Russian equities<\/strong> are an \u201cobvious candidate\u201d for NN Investment Partners, Griffiths sees a rally in South Africa, and Capital Economics is betting on banks in eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, excluding Russia\u2019s and Turkey\u2019s. <strong>Egypt\u2019s bonds are attractive, says Denmark-based Global Evolution Fonds<\/strong>, while Deutsche Bank recommends South African and Russian bonds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Worth reading as an accompanying piece <\/strong>is David Gardner\u2019s latest for the Financial Times: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/0ebf028c-c6db-11e6-8f29-9445cac8966f\">A new balance of power in the Middle East<\/a>,\u201d wherein he argues that \u201cAs they look towards 2017, Russia and Iran can, nonetheless, consider they have had a good year confounding their adversaries in the Middle East \u2014 and that the west, and its allies in the region, is in exploitable disarray.\u201d Egypt, naturally enough, features heavily in the narrative.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content

Pharos has reiterated its \u2018Overweight\u2019 rating on the stock and upgraded its FV to EGP 35.13 from EGP 25.0, as it expects the company\u2019s \u201coperational performance [to] witness a gradual turnaround over the next 2-4 quarters,\u201d to reflect ongoing improvements in the country\u2019s investment climate and market turnover rates following the float. There is great potential for growth, particularly as things begin to look up for investment banking activities in 2017. EFG Hermes\u2019 share price performance has mirrored the EGX30\u2019s turnover rate since 2000, and this new year should also see the company begin to execute plans for new ventures and expand its presence and activities in frontier markets, which justifies the higher upside potential. <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/EFG-Hermes-Valuation-Update-The-Lucky-Charm.pdf\"><strong>Tap here to read the full note.<\/strong><\/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 53.72 (-0.09%)<br \/>\n <strong>Brent:<\/strong> USD 56.82 (-0.05%)<br \/>\n<strong>Natural Gas<\/strong> (Nymex, futures prices) USD 3.72 MMBtu, (-2.05%, February 2017 contract)<br \/>\n <strong>Gold:<\/strong> USD 1,151.70 \/ troy ounce (-0.55%)<\/p>\n<p><strong>TASI:<\/strong> 7,238.0 (+0.4%) (YTD: +0.38%)<br \/>\n <strong>ADX:<\/strong> Market closed.<br \/>\n<strong>DFM:<\/strong> Market closed.<br \/>\n<strong>KSE Weighted Index:<\/strong> Market closed.<br \/>\n<strong>QE:<\/strong> Market closed.<br \/>\n<strong>MSM:<\/strong> 5,744.7 (-0.7%) (YTD: -0.66%)<br \/>\n <strong>BB: <\/strong>1,220.45 (+0.59%) (YTD: 0.00%)<\/p>\n\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-markets-yesterday\/\">The markets 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=\"652166\" 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\/01\/02\/652166\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-652166\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-652166 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>07 January (Saturday): Coptic Christmas, national holiday.<\/p>\n<p>13 January (Friday): <a href=\"http:\/\/english.ahram.org.eg\/NewsContent\/1\/64\/253903\/Egypt\/Politics-\/Paris-invites-Cairo-to-attend-AfricaFrance-Summit-.aspx\">Egypt to attend<\/a> Africa-France Summit 2017 in Mali.<\/p>\n<p>25 January (Wednesday): Revolution (police) day, national holiday.<\/p>\n<p>30 January \u2013 2 February 2017 (Monday-Thursday): Arab Health Exhibition, Dubai International Convention & Exhibition Center, UAE.<\/p>\n<p>14-16 February 2017 (Tuesday-Thursday): <a href=\"http:\/\/www.egyps.com\/\">Egypt Petroleum Show 2017 (EGYPS)<\/a>, CIEC, Cairo.<\/p>\n<p>31 March -
