\n

It\u2019s a slow news day (as is often the case late in August)<\/strong>, with no single story demanding your attention. We\u2019re still waiting to see what the central bank will (or won\u2019t) do with import restrictions. We\u2019re still waiting to see how far (if at all) Hassan Abdalla will let the EGP ease against the greenback. We\u2019re still waiting to see how talks with the IMF are going\u2026 You get the point.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re in a natural trough in the news cycle: <\/strong>Abdalla has been on the job for less than two weeks \u2014 and has made it clear he is working with cabinet and the team at the central bank to chart the best path forward. The loudest voice on this quiet news morning? Bloomberg, which is back with (yet another) piece on the need to devalue and \u201cstave off\u201d default, as we note in this morning\u2019s news well, below.<\/p>\n

<\/a> WATCH THIS SPACE #1- Could the CBE move to loosen import restrictions <\/strong>next week? <\/strong>Manufacturers may get a break if the central bank moves next week to allow additional raw materials to be imported outside of the letters of credit system<\/a>, Mohamed Al Bahi, board member at the Federation of Egyptian Industries, told Salet El Tahrir (watch, runtime: 4:54<\/a>) last night.<\/p>\n

Another sign a policy change could be imminent:<\/strong> This came on the same day that Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) Governor Hassan Abdalla met with Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly to discuss plans to exempt certain imports \u2014 including raw materials and manufacturing essentials \u2014 from the L\/Cs system, according to a cabinet statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Refresher: Madbouly is the latest in a number of key cabinet members to hold <\/strong>meetings<\/a><\/strong> with Abdalla in recent days<\/strong>, stoking expectations among business leaders that they may be looking for ways to ease the import restrictions that have hobbled everyone from manufacturers to retailers.<\/p>\n

CLARIFICATION-<\/strong> Hisham Ezz Al Arab\u2019s recent remarks<\/a> to the international media regarding the expectation that CBE Governor Hassan Abdalla might \u201cgo faster\u201d on allowing the EGP to float against the greenback were made hours prior to his being named advisor to the governor. At the time, Hisham was not speaking in his capacity as an advisor.<\/p>\n

\n

THE PERFECT SIGN OF THE TIMES- The price of your morning cup of joe is getting more <\/strong>expensive thanks to climate change + import restrictions:<\/strong> Coffee prices have doubled since last year to around USD 4k per container as climate change and import restrictions hit supply, Hassan Fawzy, head of the coffee division at the Cairo Chamber of Commerce, told Ala Mas\u2019ouleety last night (watch, runtime: 15:25<\/a>). Harsher climate conditions have affected harvests, pushing prices up, while import restrictions<\/a> introduced by the central bank earlier this year have kept coffee shipments stuck in ports, he said.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> WATCH THIS SPACE #2- Is the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) eyeing <\/strong>shares in Alex <\/strong>Containers and Eastern Company?<\/strong> That\u2019s what a couple of local outlets reported yesterday, citing sources they claim are familiar with the matter. The Gulf country\u2019s sovereign wealth fund is reportedly interested in purchasing a 10-20% stake in Alex Containers held by the Maritime Transport Holding Company. The sources did not disclose figures for Eastern Company, but said that talks were ongoing with the company\u2019s majority shareholder, Chemical Industries Holding (CIHC), and that an agreement would be finalized in the coming days. A<\/strong> senior official a<\/strong>t CIHC we reached out to yesterday denied knowledge of the talks<\/strong> and said the company does not have plans to sell any of its shares.<\/p>\n

ADVISORS-<\/strong> Matouk Bassiouny & Hennawy is reportedly providing legal advice to the QIA while Baker & McKenzie are counsel to the government, the sources said.<\/p>\n

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

Foreign Minister and COP27 President Sameh Shoukry is in Gabon to participate <\/strong>in the United Nations\u2019 <\/strong>Africa Climate Week<\/a><\/strong>, which runs from today to Thursday, the Foreign Ministry said<\/a> yesterday. Shoukry is also set to meet with senior Gabonese officials, the statement said.<\/p>\n

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

The global financial press are focused on what looks to be another bad day in the <\/strong>financial markets<\/strong> as the sell-off that accompanied Fed chair Jerome Powell\u2019s hawkish speech last week continues to hit investor confidence. Futures for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell more than 1% this morning while Asian markets were heavily in the red, with the Nikkei tumbling almost 3%, the Kospi losing 2.3% and the ASX down 2.1%. The sell-off in the US bond market also continued, pushing two-year yields to their highest level since 2007. (Reuters<\/a> | Bloomberg<\/a> | CNBC<\/a>)<\/p>\n

CLOSER TO HOME- <\/strong>The UN called for an immediate ceasefire after clashes between rival Libyan <\/strong>factions left 32 people dead<\/strong> and another 159 wounded in Tripoli, Reuters<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

THE LONG VIEW- <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a> Inflation is going to be very difficult to bring down and we may not have the tools <\/strong>to do it:<\/strong> That\u2019s the gloomy post-Jackson Hole message offered to the Financial Times<\/a> by some of the world\u2019s leading central bankers and economists, who say that the challenge of bringing down soaring inflation could be the biggest faced by policymakers in decades. \u201cAt least over the next five years, monetary policymaking is going to be much more challenging than it was in the two decades before the pandemic struck,\u201d Gita Gopinath, deputy managing director of the IMF, told the salmon-colored paper. \u201cWe are in an environment where supply shocks are going to be more volatile than we\u2019ve been used to, and that\u2019s going to generate more costly trade-offs for monetary policy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raising interest rates alone might not be enough to bring down inflation<\/strong>, as supply chain disruptions, commodity shocks due to the Russia-Ukraine war, and a post-covid demand recovery keep the pressure on. This potentially leaves central banks without the tools needed to address the crisis, said World Bank president David Malpass. \u201cYou\u2019re hiking rates in the hope of reducing inflation, but it is being counteracted by so much friction within the supply chain and production cycle.\u201d<\/p>\n

The <\/strong>Africa Women Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum (AWEIF)<\/a><\/strong> is taking <\/strong>place in Cairo for the first time on 26-27 September<\/strong>, according to a press release (pdf)<\/a>.

Egypt\u2019s National Organization for Social Ins.

The conference will bring together social ins. organizations and public and private pension providers to discuss widening coverage through region-wide pension reform.<\/p>\n

PSA #1- Your deadline to catch a 65% break off late payment fines for your taxes is coming up this Wedn<\/strong>esday, 31 August.<\/strong> The waiver applies to late payment fees for customs tariffs, income, real estate, and sales taxes, VAT, and stamp duties among others. The remaining 35% of your due payments will need to be paid before next March.<\/p>\n

PSA #2- Exporters have until 15 September to apply to join the fifth phase of FinMin\u2019s <\/strong>export subsidy <\/strong>program<\/strong>, according to a statement<\/a>. Cabinet has given its approval<\/a> to pay a total EGP 10 bn out to exporters, with payments to be made on 1 October and 1 December. The program<\/a> allows exporters to receive overdue subsidies in a single payment rather than in installments over four to five years, in return for a haircut.<\/p>\n

Ration card holders<\/strong> now have until 30 September<\/strong> to register their mobile numbers to their cards, in a move meant to make it easier for the Supply Ministry to contact them, the ministry said in a statement<\/a> yesterday.<\/p>\n
