Morgan and Natixis holding a series of investor meetings in the Middle East, US and Europe, according to a statement from BNP Paribas over the weekend. The Roadshow kicks off in the UAE on Tuesday (breakfast in Abu Dhabi, lunch in Dubai), moves to New York on Wednesday (one-on-ones), Boston on Thursday (also one-on-ones), Los Angeles on Friday (one-on-ones), before wrapping up on Monday, 23 January in London. The statement notes that in addition to five- and 10-year notes, a 30-year tranche \u201ccould be considered\u201d depending on market conditions. We\u2019ve had a quick look at the roadshow presentation, and it looks very solid indeed. Speakers on the roadshow will include Finance Minister <strong>Amr El Garhy<\/strong>, Vice-Minister of Finance for Fiscal Policies <strong>Ahmed Kouchouk<\/strong> and <strong>Samy Khallaf<\/strong>, advisor to the Minister of Finance and Head of Debt Management.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Finance Minister will be holding a press conference today to discuss Egypt\u2019s fiscal position in 1H2016-17<\/strong>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almasryalyoum.com\/news\/details\/1072123\">AMAY<\/a> reported. The presser comes after El Garhy and other senior ministry officials met with investor associations over the weekend, with the minister <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mof.gov.eg\/Arabic\/MOFNews\/Media\/Pages\/releas-a-14-1-16.aspx\">reiterating<\/a> his target of seeing tax collection equivalent to 15% of GDP. BothEl Garhy and Deputy Finance Minister Mohamed Maait are offering more conservative guidance on growth and the budget deficit: El Garhy sees GDP growth clocking in at 4% this year, lower than previous projections of 5%. Maait also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almalnews.com\/Pages\/StoryDetails.aspx?ID=318552\">expects<\/a> the budget deficit come in higher than originally planned on the back of the float of the EGP and rising global energy prices. He added that Egypt must grow at 7% every year in order to keep up with an annual population growth of 2.5%, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alborsanews.com\/2017\/01\/14\/%D9%85%D8%B9%D9%8A%D8%B7-%D9%85%D8%B5%D8%B1-%D8%AA%D8%AD%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%AC-%D9%86%D9%85%D9%88%D9%8B%D8%A7-7-%D8%B3%D9%86%D9%88%D9%8A%D9%8B%D8%A7-%D9%84%D9%85%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%AC%D9%87%D8%A9\/\">Al Borsa<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n<p><strong>El Garhy has message:<\/strong> The private sector needs to be patient. It will take three years for the reform agenda to deliver sustainable results, he said, adding that the current challenges will ease over the next 6-12 months. He cites slight improvements in tourism revenues and Egypt meeting fuel imports required by industry as being crucial recent signs we\u2019re on the right track. Pro-investment policies and tax incentives will also help speed up the recovery, El Garhy added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also:<\/strong> Stop importing, start exporting. It makes no sense that Egypt can muster a paltry USD 18 bn in exports and maintain a trade deficit of USD 50 bn, El Garhy said, when economies comparable to Egypt\u2019s export USD 150-200 bn. \u201cWe used to import everything from needles to rockets.\u201d Maait added.<\/p>\n<p>All of this comes as <strong>an IMF team is set arrive in Cairo this week to follow up on the reform agenda, particularly on taxation<\/strong>, government sources tell <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alborsanews.com\/2017\/01\/14\/%D8%A8%D8%B9%D8%AB%D8%A9-%D9%81%D9%86%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D9%85%D9%86-%D8%B5%D9%86%D8%AF%D9%88%D9%82-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%86%D9%82%D8%AF-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AF%D9%88%D9%84%D9%89-%D9%84%D9%85%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%A8%D8%B9\/\">Al Borsa<\/a>. The delegation will reportedly meet with senior Tax Authority officials on the progress in implementing the value-added tax (VAT) and settlement of taxation disputes \u2014 the two key taxation reform policies adopted in 2016. <strong>Want to know what\u2019s on the Finance Ministry\u2019s mind in the meantime? <\/strong>The ministry <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mof.gov.eg\/Arabic\/MOFNews\/Media\/Pages\/releas-a-14-1-16.aspx\">issued a statement yesterday<\/a> that should go some way to helping on that front.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the local press continues to lose its mind over why the terms of the USD 12 bn IMF loan haven\u2019t been made public, despite reassurances by the Ismail cabinet and the Finance Ministry that it is heading to the House of Representatives for a vote. <strong>The government has approved releasing the full report sometime this week<\/strong>, IMF Communications Director Gerry Rice told <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shorouknews.com\/news\/view.aspx?cdate=14012017&id=e9f6e959-13c7-4815-aff6-473c1c421a7f\">Al Shorouk<\/a> in response.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deputy Finance Minister Amr El Monayer also discussed the ministry's vision for a tax policy for SMEs<\/strong>, saying that this will not breaks on unpaid taxes from years past, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almasryalyoum.com\/news\/details\/1072395\">AMAY<\/a> reports. \u201cWe are looking to address the root cause of why these businesses do not pay taxes,\u201d which El Monayer, who heads tax policy at the finance ministry, believes boils down to complicated tax procedures. The ministry is working with the Trade and Industry Ministry and the Federation of Egyptian Industries on a law to simplify the tax code for SMEs, which (reading between the lines) could include a lower tax rate for the smallest of companies.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div

Human and animal remains were found in the cemeteries.
