Good morning, friends, and welcome to a very busy news day. <\/strong>With so much going on, we\u2019re going to jump straight in:<\/p>\n

<\/a> THE BIG STORY OF THE MORNING here at home: Another sign that we may <\/strong>be <\/strong>in early talks with the IMF on what a new assistance program could look like. <\/strong>Bloomberg\u2019s Mirette Magdy and Eric Martin report that we could be interested in either a precautionary and liquidity line<\/a> (think: money on tap in case we need it) or a non-financial policy coordination instrument<\/a>. \u201cEgyptian officials are still in talks with the Washington-based lender over what may be the best option given the challenging global environment,\u201d the story says<\/a>.<\/p>\n

IT\u2019S SMART POLICY to know what your options are in a storm<\/strong>, and there\u2019s no question that Egypt is uniquely impacted by the fallout from Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine, as we\u2019ve been writing since before the conflict broke out. The Madbouly government has so far shown a deft hand at managing the crisis, with ministers including Mohamed Maait, Tarek El Molla, Aly El Moselhy and Hala El Said taking the lead in clearly explaining to the public what\u2019s going on \u2014 and the PM also holding an epic presser that dealt with the issue head-on. Their policy management has been on point.<\/p>\n

NOT UNRELATED- It\u2019s interest rate week. <\/strong>The Central Bank of Egypt will hold its policy meeting this Thursday, 24 March, and six of the nine analysts we\u2019ve spoken with are expecting policymakers to hike interest rates in response to rising inflation and global monetary tightening. We have chapter and verse on this in our customary interest rate poll in this morning\u2019s news well, below.<\/p>\n

AND- Expect the price cap on <\/strong>unsubsidized <\/strong>baladi <\/strong>bread<\/strong> to be announced within the next 48<\/strong> hours<\/strong>, Abdel Moneim Khalil, head of internal trade at the Supply Ministry, said in a televised interview yesterday. An official meeting will be held tomorrow by ministry officials to determine the price, weight, quality and specifications of the unsubsidized loaf of bread, he told Taht Al Shams\u2019s Moataz Abdelfattah in a phone-in (watch, runtime 5:06<\/a>). This comes after President Abdel Fattah El Sisi last week instructed the government to introduce price controls on bread<\/a> in response to rapid inflation on the back of the conflict in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

What to expect: <\/strong>Prices could be set between EGP 0.75-1.00 per loaf of baladi bread, said head of the bakeries division at the Cairo Chamber of Commerce, Attia Hamad, in a phone-in with Al Hayah Al Youm\u2019s Lobna Assal last night (watch, runtime 6:16<\/a>). The final price will be determined in an upcoming meeting with the Supply Ministry, he added. Deputy Supply Minister Ibrahim Ashmawy told Kelma Akhira that he doesn\u2019t expect the price per loaf to exceed EGP 1.00 (watch, runtime 3:49<\/a>).<\/p>\n

PSA #1- Enjoy what our favourite weather app is suggesting might be the last week of <\/strong>cool weather this spring. <\/strong>Look for daytime highs on 17-19\u00b0C all week and overnight lows in the 6-9\u00b0C range, warming to the mid-to-high 20s next week.<\/p>\n

PSA #2- There are 13 days left until Ramadan<\/strong>, and the long range forecast suggests the weather on the first day of fasting will be a warm 32\u00b0C.<\/p>\n
