The first phase of the project has begun operations, while the second will go online in 3Q 2026, once both are operational the zone will create 300 jobs. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">(<strong>Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links <\/strong>to our background as well as external sources.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>REMEMBER- <\/strong>The company broke ground on the 300k sqm logistics zone in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/e7c8c371-c5fe-4284-ac67-eb95d01a90f1\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">November 2023<\/a> after inking a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/48320146-4e27-40ca-af19-3dca8c1683b6\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">construction agreement<\/a> with the Suez Canal Economic Zone\u2019s Main Development Company (MDC) in August 2022. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A look into what the logistics zone is offering: <\/strong>The project includes a bonded warehouse for container storage and a duty-paid warehouse for goods storage. The logistics zone also offers real-time cargo tracking systems, on-site customs processing, and an integrated electronic customer service platform.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>SOUND SMART-<\/strong> Bonded warehouses are government-authorized facilities that store goods for a limited time without being subject to duties, taxes, or customs fees. They\u2019re particularly useful for temporary storage of goods moving internationally. While a duty-paid warehouse is exactly as it sounds, a facility where goods are stored after their customs have been paid. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Which industries can utilize the logistics park? <\/strong>The logistics zone will support key sectors such as

rel=\"noopener\">(pdf)<\/a> rose just 0.2% m-o-m and 3.0% y-o-y in September, its slowest pace in three months and 0.1 percentage points below Wall Street\u2019s estimates on both measures, <a

rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a> reported on Friday. The report is \u201ctepid enough to seal the deal for a 25-bp rate cut later this month, and another one in December,\u201d economists Anna Wong and Chris G. Collins noted.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Headline inflation showed a similar picture<\/strong>, increasing 0.3% m-o-m and 3% y-o-y, also coming in just shy of expectations by 0.1 percentage points.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The moderation in prices was primarily driven by softer services and shelter costs<\/strong>. Housing costs saw their smallest increase since early 2021, with owners\u2019 equivalent rent \u2014 a component that accounts for roughly a quarter of the CPI \u2014 rising just 0.1%. Goods inflation also eased amid a decline in used car prices. Still, services prices (excluding housing and energy) \u2014 a measure the Fed watches closely \u2014 remained firm, signaling sticky underlying pressures.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Uneven impact: <\/strong>The Fed\u2019s Beige Book noted rising input costs across industries, though the effect is varied. Companies like Procter &amp; Gamble reported minimal impact, while others \u2014 including O\u2019Reilly Automotive \u2014 responded by raising prices. Tariff-exposed categories such as apparel and furnishings saw sharper gains, with apparel prices climbing at their fastest pace in a year.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Growing tariff concerns: <\/strong>While the impact of tariffs has been milder than expected, economists warn of renewed price pressures as President Trump\u2019s latest duties on household goods take effect. Firms have so far absorbed most cost increases but are likely to pass them on to consumers soon as margins tighten, Pantheon Macroeconomics\u2019 Oliver Allen told Bloomberg. \u201cWe anticipate a cumulative shock from tariffs totaling 0.8 percentage points by early 2026,\u201d EY-Parthenon\u2019s chief economist Gregory Daco told <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/us-consumer-prices-rise-slightly-less-than-expected-september-2025-10-24\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a>.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>AND- US government shutdown delayed the report and threatens future data. <\/strong>While economists are confident in the September data, which was collected before the shutdown, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has not collected new data since, and a White House-affiliated account stated there will \u201clikely NOT be an inflation release next month for the first time in history.\u201d<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>ALSO FROM PLANET FINANCE- <\/strong><strong>Gold prices shed USD 138.8 per ounce last week<\/strong>, closing on Friday at USD 4.1k, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-10-25\/a-gold-crash-everyone-saw-coming-lures-bargain-hunters-worldwide?srnd=phx-markets\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a> reported on Saturday. The biggest weekly dip since 2013 \u2014 and one of the largest ever in USD terms \u2014 followed a period of record highs driven by frantic retail buying. The outlook is still bullish, as analysts and investors see the decline as a \u201chealthy correction\u201d and a \u201cbuy the dip\u201d window for central banks and physical buyers.<\/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>Japan\u2019s Nikkei is leading Asian markets\u2019 gains this morning<\/strong>, up 2.1% in early trading after breaking the 50k level for the first time, ahead of Trump\u2019s meeting with Prime Minister Takaichi this week.

The opening of the school in Sixth of October comes under an initiative by the Education Ministry in partnership with Germany\u2019s Federal Foreign Office, German Embassy Cairo, Goethe-Institut, and the German Central Agency for Schools Abroad (ZfA).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>(Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links <\/strong>to our background as well as external sources.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>German will be taught as the first foreign language<\/strong>, with students also studying Arabic and English or French as a second foreign language. The schools will offer a K-12 integrated educational system aligned with both international standards and Egypt\u2019s national curriculum. Students will follow Egyptian programs alongside German curricula designed to strengthen critical thinking, personal development, and multilingual communication. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>These schools are part of a broader plan to expand Egypt\u2019s portfolio of dual-certification <\/strong><strong>programs with leading education systems worldwide<\/strong>, a source from the Education Ministry told EnterpriseAM. Upon graduation, students will receive both the Egyptian General Secondary Certificate (Thanaweya Amma) or Egyptian Baccalaureate and an official German language certificate from the Goethe-Institut. This dual certification will qualify them to pursue higher education or vocational training opportunities in Egypt or Germany.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Despite the international focus, the ministry is keen to ensure that Egypt\u2019s national <\/strong><strong>identity remains central to the curriculum. <\/strong>All schools under the initiative are required to teach social studies and religion alongside core subjects. Arabic will remain the main language of instruction, while science and mathematics will be taught in English starting from second grade.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The schools will adopt an interactive education model<\/strong>, which integrates activities to deepen understanding, develop digital skills, promote environmental awareness, and encourage healthy lifestyles. The collaboration will also see student and teacher exchange programs with Germany to provide direct exposure to the German education model.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The launch of the first Egyptian-German public school marks \u201ca real starting point\u201d for <\/strong><strong>helping children and young people open new educational horizons<\/strong>, Goethe-Institut North Africa and Middle East Regional Director Lilli Kobler told EnterpriseAM. The Goethe-Institut is responsible for training teachers and improving their pedagogical skills, Kobler added. The institute also works with education specialists on environmental awareness, cultural and artistic education, and digital learning \u2014 and oversees the design and selection of German language curricula.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Introducing German to technical schools is part of the plan<\/strong>, following an MoU inked between the Education Ministry and Goethe-Institut last Thursday, according to an Education Ministry <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/egypt.moe\/posts\/pfbid02kz9SgyTGwdcSyZKj1sxVNL25Z4Ds2nHTn5B1B99E1XKubxQ8dESepfhcn2BeAKNtl?rdid=CSbeTA6piUANzV9o#\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a>.
