<\/a> The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) raised interest rates for the second time <\/strong>since <\/strong>March<\/strong> as it looks to rein-in inflation and attract foreign investors back to the local bond market. The central bank hiked rates by 200 basis points, bringing its deposit rate to 11.25% and the lending rate to 12.25%, the Monetary Policy Committee announced in a statement (pdf)<\/a> after its regularly scheduled meeting on Thursday. The main operation and disc. rates also rose 200 bps to 11.75%. This is the CBE\u2019s most <\/strong>aggressive hike since 2017<\/strong>, when it moved to curb inflation<\/a> following the EGP float.<\/p>\n

This was expected:<\/strong> All but one of the seven analysts we surveyed<\/a> before the meeting expected the central bank to raise rates, with five of them predicting the hike to come in at up to 200 bps. Eighteen analysts polled by Reuters<\/a> expected similar hikes, while Bloomberg<\/a>\u2019s poll also predicted a rise, though only one respondent called a 200 bps jump.<\/p>\n

Rates are now 300 bps higher than where they were two months ago:<\/strong> The central bank raised rates by 100 bps and devalued the EGP by around 16% in an extraordinary meeting in March in response to growing pressure on the balance of payments caused by the war in Ukraine and global monetary tightening.<\/p>\n

Inflation loomed large at the MPC meeting:<\/strong> Inflation hit its highest level since May 2019<\/a> last month as the recent surge in global commodity prices and the EGP devaluation caused price growth to accelerate faster than expected. \u201cThe MPC decided that raising policy rates is necessary to contain inflationary pressures which is consistent with achieving price stability over the medium term,\u201d the CBE said. The central bank is currently targeting a 7% (\u00b1 2%) rate of inflation by 4Q 2022. Inflation came in at 13.1% in April.<\/p>\n

The CBE doesn\u2019t expect inflation to return to its target before 2023:<\/strong> \u201cThe elevated annual headline inflation rate will be temporarily tolerated relative to the CBE\u2019s pre-announced target\u201d before declining in 2023, the central bank said. Arqaam Capital\u2019s Noaman Khalid told us that he had expected the CBE to amend its inflation target to 10%, but instead it has made it clear that the end of year inflation target will be missed, which is in line with Arqaam\u2019s expectations of double-digit inflation at the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Higher rates might not have an immediate impact:<\/strong> \u201cEgypt is a cash-based economy, where movement in interest rates have proven weak in containing inflationary pressure,\u201d Alia Mamdouh, head of macro at Beltone Financial, wrote in a note Thursday. \u201cWe reiterate our view that being a supply-driven inflation, EGP stability is key to support easing inflation rates.\u201d<\/p>\n

The CBE expects the economy to grow at a slower rate than expected<\/strong> \u201cpartially due to the unfavorable spillovers of international developments emanating from the Russo-Ukrainian war,\u201d it said. The government last week cut<\/a> its 2022-2023 growth forecast to 4.5% from 5.5%.<\/p>\n

The EGP carry trade isn\u2019t what it used to be:<\/strong> Almost USD 20 bn has exited Egypt<\/a> since the start of the year as rising interest rates<\/a> around the world, soaring inflation and the commodity price shock trigger a global risk-off in emerging-market assets. Egypt \u2014 which was once one of the most attractive carry trades in the world \u2014 has seen its real rates fall into negative territory on rising inflation. \u201cWe believe the CBE\u2019s rationale for the aggressive hike in policy rates is mainly to maintain an upward yield curve to attract higher portfolio inflows,\u201d Mamdouh wrote.<\/p>\n

Will the hike be enough to rekindle inflows? <\/strong>\u201cWe expect the hike to partially filter through higher treasury yields to provide a more attractive real yield in comparison with emerging-market peers,\u201d CI Capital\u2019s Sara Saada wrote in a note. However, BNP Paribas MENA economist Mohamed Abdelmeguid said before the MPC meeting that policymakers would need to raise rates by another 300-400 bps before foreign investors return to EGP-denominated debt. And EFG Hermes\u2019 Mohamed Abu Basha previously told Bloomberg<\/a> that the current global environment makes it unlikely that foreign investors will return in large numbers.<\/p>\n

Could this be the last rate hike we see from the CBE for a while? The jury\u2019s out.<\/strong> \u201cInflation should remain range bound at around 13% for May. Unless we see sharp fluctuations in the currency, the [inflation] readings should remain at these levels, requiring no more rate hikes,\u201d Naeem Brokerage\u2019s Allen Sandeep told Enterprise, cautioning that the situation could change when new austerity measures<\/a> come into effect in the fiscal year starting in July.<\/p>\n

Some expect further hikes before the end of the year: <\/strong>We could be looking at another 100-200 bps hike towards 3Q 2022 or the final quarter of the year, Khalid told us. Capital Economics\u2019 James Swanston is penciling in a 250 bps hike before the end of the year, Zawya<\/a> writes, citing a note.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
