The latest on that front sees the government reporting that the hit to its deficit reduction target in the current fiscal year won\u2019t be as nasty as it had feared. Meanwhile, the Central Bank of Egypt\u2019s reserves announcement notes that the bank stepped in last month to deploy \u201cexcess foreign currency reserves\u201d to push us through a period of exceptional global stress. Egypt is uniquely squeezed by the ongoing war in Ukraine, and cabinet and the central bank continue to show significant maturity in their policy responses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The second big theme: Investment, investment and still more investment.<\/strong> ADQ looks set to buy the state\u2019s stake in Abu Qir Fertilizers. The news comes after the Sovereign Fund of Egypt said last week that it expected \u201cwithin days\u201d to make public more information on ADQ\u2019s USD 2 bn in investments here. The SFE itself is rolling out fresh investment in NBFS and financial inclusion companies, the fundraising drive on Planet Startup continues apace, and Edita is committing EGP 1 bn in investment over the next several years as it fast-tracks growth plans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>***<\/strong><br \/> <strong>SPEAKING OF INVESTMENT- There\u2019s probably no sector hotter than fintech.

The committee has met more than once since March to discuss the effect of the Ukraine war on the oil market, which sent Brent prices to as high as USD 139 a barrel last month. From what the source told us, the government is taking a \u2018wait and see\u2019 approach and wants to continue assessing the market, which has remained volatile since Russia invaded Ukraine in late February.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Another hike is in the cards:<\/strong> The source told us that the committee will raise fuel prices for the current quarter, but didn\u2019t provide further details.
