Four days in and Afcon 2021 has been nothing if not entertaining:<\/strong> There were incredible scenes in Cameroon yesterday as Tunisia\u2019s meeting with Mali devolved into chaos in the final five minutes when Zambian referee Janny Sikazwe twice blew the full-time whistle before the 90 minutes were up. Mali had taken a 1-0 lead through a controversial penalty decision before the chaotic denouement, which saw the ref call full time on the 85th minute, hand a straight red card to Mali forward El Bilal Toure, and blow the whistle again in the 89th minute as the Tunisians were searching for an equalizer. It took a full 20 minutes before the officials decided to resume the game, only for the Tunisians to refuse to take to the field, handing Mali the victory. Check out Bein Sports\u2019 coverage of the late-game fiasco here (watch, runtime: 2:12<\/a>), while Eurosport<\/a> has footage of the Malian coach being pulled out of the post-match presser to restart the game.<\/p>\n

PSA- It\u2019s going to be a cold weekend:<\/strong> Temperatures across the country are set to dip over the weekend, according to the Egyptian Meteorological Authority<\/a>, which forecasts the mercury to dip as low as 7\u00b0C in the capital between today and Monday. The authority is forecasting wind and a chance of light to moderate rain over the next four days.<\/p>\n

Look for daytime highs of 15-16\u00b0C over each of the next five days<\/strong>, our favourite weather app tells us.<\/p>\n

WHAT\u2019S HAPPENING TODAY- <\/strong><\/p>\n

The <\/strong>World Youth Forum<\/a><\/strong> wraps up today. <\/strong>Planning Minister Hala El Said took center stage yesterday, speaking on how the Sisi administration\u2019s Decent Life initiative is a crucial policy in alleviating poverty in Egypt (watch, runtime: 2:25<\/a>). You can check out the full agenda for the forum here (pdf)<\/a>, and we have more on yesterday\u2019s events in Last Night\u2019s Talk Shows, below.<\/p>\n

THE BIG STORY ABROAD-<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a> A<\/strong>nnual inflation in the United States for December was the highest it has <\/strong>been since 1982<\/strong> at 7%, up from 6.8% a month before amid supply bottlenecks, labor shortages, and unprecedented liquidity flowing through the economy from pandemic-related stimulus, fresh data released yesterday<\/a> shows. Core inflation \u2014 which strips out volatile food and energy prices \u2014 stood at 5.5%, its highest since 1991.<\/p>\n

But equities took it in stride<\/strong>: US stocks rose on Wednesday as the inflation figures came largely in line with analysts\u2019 expectations, quelling fears of even higher price hikes that could have forced the Federal Reserve to unwind its stimulus program more swiftly, Reuters reports<\/a>. Investors were reassured by expectations that inflation will peak by mid-year, helped by an easing of bottlenecks and planned interest rate hikes from the Fed, which the bank\u2019s head Jay Powell on Wednesday insisted<\/a> would not harm the economy.<\/p>\n

Also still broadcasting the \u201cinflation is transitory\u201d line:<\/strong> IMF head Kristalina Georgieva, who yesterday said US inflation would start to decline<\/a> by the second quarter of the year as the supply squeeze eases.<\/p>\n

The news is everywhere in the global business press this morning:<\/strong> Reuters<\/a> | Bloomberg<\/a> | FT<\/a> | WSJ<\/a> | CNBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a mixed open in Asia this morning:<\/strong> Shares in China, Japan and South Korea are down but the Hang Seng and Australia\u2019s ASX are marginally in the black. The futures markets are also mixed, with shares in Europe poised to see early gains but the US on course to open in the red.<\/p>\n

ICYMI-<\/strong> Annual inflation here at home is lower than it is in the US. <\/strong>We hit 5.9% in December (from 5.6% in November), ending a two-month downward trend, according to Capmas figures released earlier this week<\/a>. A slower-than-expected rise in food and beverage costs led to a more muted rise in the annual headline figure than most analysts had anticipated.<\/p>\n

MEANWHILE-<\/strong> Fortune<\/a> thinks Facebook<\/s> Meta may \u201csoon\u201d have to sell Instagram and El Whats<\/strong> as the US Federal Trade Commission prepares to take Meta to court over antitrust allegations. Two Democratic operatives have taken to the op-ed pages of the Wall Street Journal<\/a> to position Hillary Clinton as a potential 2024 candidate <\/strong>for the US presidency<\/p>\n

WEEKEND MUST READ- <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a> SOUND SMART- <\/strong>A proposed EU <\/strong>taxonomy<\/a><\/strong> could soon become <\/strong>the world\u2019s gold <\/strong>standard for green <\/strong>investment, <\/strong>the Economist<\/a> reports. The rules will set out criteria to measure the quality of purportedly green investments \u2014 and their stringency and detail could make the taxonomy the last word on sustainable investing globally. European banks and green fund managers will have to disclose how their investments align with the rules, in a step that is set to reduce greenwashing, increase confidence in sustainable assets, and force more climate data into the public domain.<\/p>\n

Expect some controversy: <\/strong>The draft text has prompted backlash after it classified some nuclear power and gas projects as \u201cgreen\u201d (which, coincidentally, wouldn\u2019t be so bad for our own energy hub ambitions<\/a>). Some energy experts also question whether the taxonomy is enough to steer funds towards the right investments, arguing that it creates no incentive for companies to back poorly-funded sustainable assets.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next? <\/strong>The taxonomy is currently under review by experts and is expected to be published in its final form later this month \u2014 after which it would become law by the summer, unless a supermajority of EU countries or the bloc\u2019s parliament move to block it, Reuters<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

Speaking of nukes: <\/strong>The UAE\u2019s Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) is set to produce 85% of Abu Dhabi\u2019s clean energy by 2025, CEO Mohamed Ibrahim Al Hammadi said at a conference yesterday, according to Reuters<\/a>. ENEC owns Abu Dhabi\u2019s Barakah nuclear power plant, the Arab world\u2019s first. The plant is expected to generate 5.6 GW<\/a> of power and prevent more than 21 mn tonnes of carbon emissions a year once fully operational, according to the Abu Dhabi<\/a> government.<\/p>\n

CIRCLE YOUR CALENDAR-<\/strong><\/p>\n

SODIC shareholders <\/strong>will vote<\/a><\/strong> on the company\u2019s new board of directors<\/strong> at an extraordinary general meeting on Sunday, 16 January. The formation of the new board comes after an Emirati consortium of real estate giant Aldar Properties and Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund ADQ in December acquired 85.5% of SODIC<\/a> in an allcash, EGP 6.1 bn transaction.<\/p>\n

South Korean President Moon Jae-in is <\/strong>due in town<\/a><\/strong> from 20-21 January<\/strong> on an official visit, during which he will meet President Abdel Fattah El Sisi.<\/p>\n
