Our readers in the US are also enjoying a long weekend in observance of Columbus Day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE BIG STORY here at home: At least four banks have imposed limits on credit card <\/strong><strong>transactions in foreign currencies and \/ or cash withdrawals abroad. <\/strong>The move does not appear to have been ordered by the Central Bank of Egypt: The National Bank of Egypt (the nation\u2019s largest lender) has not yet changed its policy on FX use and Banque du Caire tells us the limits were not ordered by the CBE. We have chapter and verse in this morning\u2019s news well, below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The news comes as the ministers of <\/strong><strong>finance, planning, and trade and industry are set to <\/strong><strong>appear before the House Industry Committee<\/strong> this week to discuss the availability of FX and a pileup of goods at ports.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><a class=\"content-anchor\" id=\"tldr-story-07\"><\/a> <strong>IT\u2019S A BIG WEEK FOR- The global economy as the <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imf.org\/en\/About\/Factsheets\/Annual-Spring-Meetings\">IMF and World Bank<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imf.org\/en\/About\/Factsheets\/Annual-Spring-Meetings\">annual meetings<\/a><\/strong> <strong>take place<\/strong> in Washington, DC, starting tomorrow and wrapping up a week from today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clouds are darkening the IMF\u2019s crystal ball: <\/strong>The global economy could lose USD 4 tn in output through 2026 as we head toward recession, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-10-06\/global-economy-could-lose-4-trillion-in-output-imf-chief-warns\">Bloomberg<\/a> reported IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva as saying ahead of the annual meetings. Things are \u201cmore likely to get worse than to get better,\u201d Georgieva said, warning that we could be in for yet more economic shocks in the near future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Egyptian officials are expected to attend the meetings <\/strong>alongside a number of senior members of the banking community. It so far seems unlikely that the IMF\u2019s executive board will sign off on an assistance package for Egypt during the meetings: The board\u2019s public schedule shows no sessions this week.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><strong>WATCH THIS SPACE #1- New incentives for business coming?<\/strong> Global economic conditions demand new investment incentives to shore up local manufacturing and the agriculture sector, Finance Minister Mohamed Maait said at a conference on Wednesday, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/EgyptianCabinet\/posts\/pfbid02CQqbzFBrsMeUMeydXg648aaALesdePb87Avs51gAAbS2iy8SiqJg1Evc7zYC2LRWl\">a statement<\/a>.
