Some are predicting that the figure could inch close to a single digit on the back of a favorable base effect, while others penciled in more modest predictions. The median forecast of the ten analysts polled by EnterpriseAM was for annual headline urban inflation falling to 14.3%. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Those polled gave predictions that range from 12.5-22.5%<\/strong>, with most of the respondents expecting the inflation figure to come below 15% \u2014 in what would be the lowest reading since September 2022.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Where inflation stood the previous month:<\/strong> Annual headline urban inflation dipped to 24.0% in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/8458d4a8-7900-4cd1-ae97-2c48406afe3a\/egypt'\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Jan<\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/8458d4a8-7900-4cd1-ae97-2c48406afe3a\/egypt'\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">uary<\/a>, marking a 0.1 percentage point drop from December. January\u2019s figure was the nation\u2019s lowest inflation reading since December 2022, when inflation recorded 21.3%. Since then, inflation had been on an upward trend before beginning to slow down for three consecutive months starting November 2024.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Driving the projected drop this month: <\/strong>\u201cFirst of all, the significant base year effect will be one of the driving factors to making inflation fall below 20%, and it will come despite seasonal pressures related to food inflation, with goods including poultry seeing an increase in prices with the beginning of Ramadan. Other factors include possible changes in the education and healthcare baskets, which could also influence the reading,\u201d economist Mona Bedeir told EnterpriseAM, predicting a reading of 14.8% this month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Some are predicting an even lower reading<\/strong>, with Capital Economics\u2019 James Swanston penciling in a prediction of 12.5%. This would mark the lowest inflation reading since March 2022, when the figure stood at just under 10.5%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Not everyone is as optimistic:<\/strong> \u201cInflation in Egypt is expected to continue slowing down during February, with projections placing the rate between 20-22%,\u201d economist Hany Abou El Fotouh told EnterpriseAM. Banking expert Mohamed Abdel Aal gave a similarly conservative estimate of inflation slowing to 22.5%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The story might be different on a monthly basis: <\/strong>On a monthly basis, HC Securities\u2019 Heba Mounir sees inflation increasing to 2.9% on the seasonal effect of Ramadan and increased consumer spending, she told EnterpriseAM, adding that she predicts annual headline urban inflation to decelerate to 14.5% y-o-y in February.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Slowing inflation will have a big role to play in the next Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) <\/strong><strong>meeting:<\/strong> \u201cPrevious statements by the CBE have pointed at wanting to see a sharper and sustained fall in the headline inflation rate, and with earlier falls in the EGP now falling out of the annual price comparison, we suspect that February and March's inflation data will provide policymakers with the evidence to loosen monetary policy,\u201d Swanston told us. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A cut is not set in stone, however:<\/strong> Some of the analysts who spoke to EnterpriseAM indicated that the MPC could adopt a more cautious approach and keep interest rates unchanged temporarily to monitor conditions before initiating a gradual reduction later in the year. \u201cGeopolitical conditions in the region, along with fluctuations in global commodity prices, remain key factors that could influence both inflation and interest rates,\u201d Abou El Fotouh told us. EFG Hermes\u2019 Mohamed Abu Basha agreed, telling us that the next two inflation readings \u201cshould pave the way for an interest rate cut in April unless there is a new development in geopolitical variables in the region or global inflation, both of which were mentioned in the latest statement from the MPC.\u201d <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>REMEMBER-<\/strong> The MPC <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/33887fd4-82fe-47f2-901d-7377ee97b0df\/cbe-holds-interest-rates-steady-for-the-seventh-consecutive-meeting\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">decided<\/a> to keep interest rates unchanged when it held its first meeting of the year in February, in what was expected by some to be the beginning of its long-awaited monetary easing cycle. The MPC deemed that \u201cthe current policy rates are appropriate to maintain a sufficiently tight monetary stance. This will ensure the realization of the projected disinflation path, and firmly anchor inflation expectations. Accordingly, the Committee\u2019s decisions regarding the appropriate time for beginning the accommodative cycle will be assessed on a meeting-by-meeting basis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p

style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <strong>Global private equity fundraising took a hit in 2024, with buyout funds securing 2<\/strong><strong>3% less capital than the previous year<\/strong> as the tighter rate environment and a slowdown in exits led to weaker capital distributions, prompting LPs to scale back new commitments, according to Bain &amp; Company\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/3\/445.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">global private equity report (pdf)<\/a>. \u201cWhile global buyout AUM has tripled over the past decade, distributions as a percentage of net asset value have fallen from an average of 29% from 2014 to 2017 to 11% today,\u201d the report reads.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Global buyout assets under management (AUM) dipped for the first time on record<\/strong> \u2014 since Bain began tracking industry assets in 2005 \u2014 to USD 4.7 tn as of June 2024, down 2% y-o-y. <\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Still, 2024 saw higher buyouts + more exits: <\/strong>The total value of buyouts was up 37% y-o-y to USD 602 bn last year (excluding add-on transactions) with an increase in transaction count. Exits were also up 34% with transactions worth a total of USD 468 bn, with an increase in exit count over the same period, according to the report. <\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The number of closed funds dropped<\/strong>, and over a third of those that did close had been fundraising for two years or more. Limited partners (LPs) prioritized established firms with strong track records, making it tougher for smaller or newer funds to attract capital, Bain said. <\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The key takeaway: <\/strong>GPs will need to differentiate themselves through operational value creation rather than relying on financial engineering, Bain advised. Mega-funds and sector specialists are expected to lead in fundraising, while generalist strategies are more likely to face headwinds, according to the report.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u201cThat spells a clear mandate for GPs:<\/strong> If you can\u2019t offer investors a differentiated value proposition, raising your next fund is going to be a serious challenge,\u201d according to the report.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>GPs have already started to get creative<\/strong>, leveraging minority stake sales, dividend recaps, secondaries, and NAV loans \u2014 strategies that have already generated USD 360 bn last year without full divestments. <\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A bumpy year ahead: <\/strong>\u201cIt won\u2019t all be better in 2025 [...] it's a three- or four-year problem,\u201d Chair of Bain\u2019s global private equity practice, Hugh MacArthur told the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/c7acc472-477c-496c-bf88-cf1be4b2879c\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Financial Times<\/a>, adding that \u201cthe pace of liquidity coming back to [fund investors] continues to be stressed.\u201d<\/p><p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Asian markets opened higher this morning<\/strong>, tracking gains on Wall Street following US President Donald Trump\u2019s decision to delay tariffs on some automakers. Japan\u2019s Nikkei and the Topix were both up nearly 0.8%, while South Korea\u2019s Kospi was up 0.6% and Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng was up 2% on the back of rallying tech stocks. <\/p><p

As we launched the app and worked to be inclusive of women at all stages in life, we realized the name Motherbeing comes with constraints and prejudices. People often associate it with certain things, like maternity, motherhood, and childcare, even though our vision is much broader. We chose Daleela because we wanted a person\u2019s name that would build a sense of connection to the AI health assistant within the app, as well as a simple name that would work across the region and beyond \u2014 a name without barriers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Our role is primarily to make healthcare accessible<\/strong> <strong>while serving as a companion for <\/strong><strong>women<\/strong>, answering and guiding them throughout their health journeys. Daleela\u2019s main objective is to make information on common women's health issues and conditions as accessible and frictionless as possible. Through the app, users can receive diagnoses for conditions such as infections and discharge and get birth control prescriptions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The app\u2019s AI chat feature is a big thing.<\/strong> We\u2019ve answered nearly 600k questions and attracted 80k users since the app\u2019s launch in August. The feature aims to help women of all ages get started on at least the first or two steps of their healthcare journey. There\u2019s a clear need for instant answers to questions on reproductive, sexual, and general health.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Back in 2019, I was diagnosed with post-partum depression and anxiety after having my <\/strong><strong>first child.<\/strong> I was diagnosed very late, around 7 months in, and through therapy I realized it\u2019s because there was very little accessible health information that was culturally relevant to me. And because I really like teaching and being in front of people, it occurred to me that I could teach people about health for a living. That\u2019s basically how Motherbeing was born. I started out by conducting online Zoom classes before the project expanded to on-demand programs, and then into a full-fledged app.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>My morning usually starts at 7am.<\/strong> I start by feeding my seven-month-old daughter and making sure my elder daughter, who is six, is ready for school before her father or I drop her off. I split the next two hours between quality time with my child and answering as many emails as possible before the day actually starts. I make breakfast while standing, or as I\u2019m rocking, feeding, or taking care of the baby. I heat my coffee at least two to three times because it gets cold before I can drink it. It\u2019s hectic and not very glamorous, but I love it. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>In Ramadan, I usually do a lot of meal prep for Iftar early in the day before work starts. <\/strong>My schedule gets a lot more packed during the month. School ends earlier, so my kid gets back home sooner. The workday gets crunched while my team and I try to maximize productivity, even though that inevitably dips with fasting. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>One way I stay organized during Ramadan is by getting a lot of work done in the <\/strong><strong>evening. <\/strong>After the kids are in bed, there\u2019s a good 2-3 hours during which I go into deep-focus work that I usually can\u2019t get done during the daytime. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I\u2019m privileged to have a partner who\u2019s very supportive. <\/strong>We split childcare equally. Some days, I work from home with the baby, and other days, he takes over while I head to the office. With two kids, working at the office feels like a marathon. You race to finish everything that you possibly can because you know you won\u2019t be available from 4-5pm until 9-10pm. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The one constant of my day is sitting in silence for a good 20 minutes after putting my girls <\/strong><strong>to bed. <\/strong>That\u2019s when my work ideas jump into high gear. I get the best ideas and remember the things I need to do so I can finish up. It\u2019s a really important 20 minutes. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>In the next six weeks, we\u2019re also going to be launching the period tracker. <\/strong>I\u2019m quite excited about this because it will offer users a novel way of period tracking. It\u2019s AI-driven \u2014 your Daleela chat is at the heart of it \u2014 so she knows your history from previous chats and she\u2019s able to see the symptoms you\u2019re inputting and flag things that don\u2019t seem right. When you're consulting with a doctor through the app's medical diagnostic feature, she\u2019s able to pull information about your cycle to show the doctor. It\u2019s really holistic in terms of how the features communicate with one another \u2014 which really sets Daleela apart from other women\u2019s health and fertility trackers. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A podcast I\u2019d recommend is Spotify\u2019s <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/5lY4b5PGOvMuOYOjOVEcb9\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Science Vs<\/a><\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> It\u2019s super cool. Every episode asks a specific question and answers it through a scientific lens. For example, one memorable <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/31CnzIF3yK8XqbxeZEbAVm\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">episode<\/a> explored why heartbreak physically hurts, interviewing scientists and doctors. <strong>We also launched our podcast <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/daleela.app?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaYeuOcWMe5396uBhT2gs3At_IjFWXgTeH8eEF0nd8_y3r9nViR66buZjgw_aem_HRT0Mrm9F6TeAv433WaIwg\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Bedoon Ehrag<\/a><\/strong><strong> recently.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>There is a book called <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/43616354-the-fifth-vital-sign\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">The Fifth Vital Sign<\/a><\/strong><strong> by Lisa Hendrickson-Jack that I\u2019d highly <\/strong><strong>recommend to female readers. <\/strong>It shows how your menstrual cycle is an indicator of overall health, so basically your fifth vital sign. A disruption in your cycle is an alarm that your body sends.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The best advice I\u2019ve been given is that the only constant in life is change.<\/strong> Things get difficult but nothing stays bad forever. It\u2019s going to get better; just keep going.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>If there\u2019s one piece of advice I'd give to younger girls<\/strong>, it\u2019s that you can build something of value if you remain consistent and have a meaningful \u201cwhy\u201d driving you forward. Here I am, doing this interview with EnterpriseAM about Daleela, the first all-in-one women's health platform powered by AI, and we\u2019re discussing sexual and reproductive health for Arab women \u2014 it all feels like a dream. Five to seven years ago, this would have seemed like a crazy notion, but it has come to fruition because we remained anchored to our core \u201cwhy\u201d regardless of the pivots we had to make.<\/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
