<\/a> Good morning, wonderful people, and happy THURSDAY.<\/strong> It\u2019s shaping up to be a diplomacy-heavy day <\/strong>as Egypt is consulted on a handful of key regional issues \u2014 and we have tons of business news for you below to get your day started.<\/p>\n

Thank you \u2014 each and every one of you \u2014 for deciding to start your day with Enterprise<\/strong>, for writing in with comments and story ideas, for being the best readers we could have ever asked for\u2026<\/p>\n

UP FIRST- Israeli Alternate Prime Minister Yair Lapid will be in town today for a meeting<\/strong> with Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry to discuss developments in Palestine, state-run MENA<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

Feltman is also dropping by to talk about the war in Ethiopia:<\/strong> US Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa Jeffrey Feltman is kicking off today a regional tour of Egypt, the UAE, and Turkey to \u201cdiscuss international support for diplomatic efforts\u201d to stop the civil war in Ethiopia, US State Department spokesperson Ned Price said, according to Reuters<\/a>. Stop their war? Sure. But what about that dam, Mr. Feltman? <\/strong><\/p>\n

IT\u2019S INFLATION DAY- Inflation figures for November will be released today <\/strong>by Capmas and the Central Bank of Egypt. Urban inflation slipped slightly to 6.3% in October from 6.6% the month before, which was the highest reading since January 2020.<\/p>\n

<\/a> SIGN OF THE TIMES #1- African startups could hit an all-time fundraising <\/strong>record this year<\/strong>, with the continent\u2019s startups on track to end 2021 with USD 5 bn in the kitty \u2014 more than the past three years combined, an industry forecast showed, according to Bloomberg<\/a>. With three more weeks left in the year, African startups have already raised a total of USD 4.8 bn in funding. The rise in inflows also helped deliver at least four new unicorns on the continent<\/strong>, one of which was Egypt-born (and Nasdaq-bound) Swvl.<\/p>\n

We can thank the rise of fintech and the growing interest of foreign investors for the jump<\/strong>, according to analysts. China and the US were responsible for a large portion of the inflows, as well as institutional bankers, one analyst noted, with most foreign investors taking positions in startups with a fintech component.<\/p>\n

SIGN OF THE TIMES #2- US whitecollar workers are looking forward to returning to the office in January. <\/strong>More than three quarters of US workers in a Fortune poll say they\u2019re returning to the office at the start of the new year \u2014 and more than half are looking forward to it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

SIGN OF THE TIMES #3- The Big Four accountancy firms have had their best year in nearly two decades<\/strong>, delivering their best collective revenue performance since before Arthur Andersen collapsed (turning the Big Five into the Big Four) in the wake of the Enron scandal that turned a spotlight on ugly practices in the industry. The Financial Times<\/a> has the story.<\/p>\n

THE BIG STORY ABROAD is probably Joe Biden signalling that he\u2019s not going to send US troops to Ukraine <\/strong>to discourage Vladimir Putin from invading. The story leads the Financial Times<\/a> and Reuters<\/a> and we have more in Around the World, below.<\/p>\n

Also worth a read: Is Beijing taking reining in China\u2019s central bank?<\/strong> That\u2019s the contention in a Wall Street Journal story<\/a> sure not to make it past the Great Firewall. The Journal reports that the bank, never fully independent as central banks are in many other countries, is losing the measure of autonomy and special status that it has previously enjoyed.<\/p>\n

MEANWHILE-<\/strong><\/p>\n

The FRA\u2019s sustainable finance training program launches today: <\/strong>The Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) is kicking off its Regional Center for Sustainable Finance training program today, the authority said in a statement<\/a>. The program aims to help SMEs access green financing tools without having to hire international experts to meet requirements. The FRA\u2019s Regional Center for Sustainable Finance was establishedearlier this year<\/a>. Partners in the program include the Climate Bonds Initiative<\/a>, the UK government-funded North Africa Technical Assistance Facility and the British Embassy in Cairo<\/p>\n

Schools and ports in Alexandria are back open today as weather conditions <\/strong>stabilize across the country<\/strong>, director of the Egyptian Meteorological Authority\u2019s forecasting center Mahmoud Shahin told Ala Masouleety\u2019s Ahmed Moussa (watch, runtime: 3:07<\/a>). Alexandria\u2019s decision to suspend schools<\/a> yesterday helped the governorate get ahead of the rainfall and clear its streets of accumulated water, Alexandria Governor Mohamed El Sherif told Al Hayah Al Youm\u2019s Lobna Assal (watch, runtime: 5:42<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Bouts of heavy winds and rain led to three deaths<\/strong> in Beheira, Gharbia, and Sharqia, where lampposts and trees fell on passersby, Local Development Ministry spokesperson Khaled Qassem told Masaa DMC\u2019s Ramy Radwan (watch, runtime: 5:22<\/a>). Alexandria suffered similar incidents, but no injuries or deaths have been reported, although a number of cars were reportedly destroyed, Radwan also noted (watch, runtime: 1:08<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Also today: Walk-ins for second vaccine doses will be allowed.<\/strong> Individuals who received the first dose of their covid-19 vaccine but missed the appointment for their second jab can visit the center where they got their first dose and get their second on the spot, acting Health Minister Khaled Abdel Ghaffar said earlier this week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

HAPPENING SOON-<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Cairo Woodshow<\/a><\/strong> kicks off today<\/strong> at the Cairo International Convention Center<\/p>\n
