Whether we\u2019re talking about recent moves in the US financial markets, new restrictions in Europe, a \u201cperilous moment\u201d for global supply chains, or an escalating political crisis in Tunisia, the resurgence of covid-19 is back front and center in the pages of the international press.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fortunately for us, the picture couldn\u2019t be more different here at home.<\/strong> With Egypt so far dodging the delta bullet and seeing daily cases at their lowest levels since the first wave over a year ago, the domestic news agenda is refreshingly covid-lite. We lead today\u2019s issue with a double dose of optimism on the fiscal front: Fresh figures released yesterday showed that the government easily outperformed its 2020-2021 primary surplus and budget deficit targets, while the IMF is projecting a strong rebound in FDI and tourism over the coming years. A fresh securitized bond issuance and a seven-figure seed investment round out this morning\u2019s news well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HAPPENING THIS WEEK-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A Russian delegation will visit Egypt tomorrow to assess the covid-19 situation in <\/strong><strong>Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh<\/strong>, Civil Aviation Minister Mohamed Manar said in a phone interview with Ala Mas\u2019oulety\u2019s Ahmed Moussa last night (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?v=512383343359810\">watch, runtime 13:50<\/a>). This comes as a prelude to <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/93a8a41f-61de-4ec4-8ec1-5b1d4089639f\">the return of Russian flights<\/a> to the Red Sea resort towns on 9 August following a six-year hiatus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Senate is now on recess<\/strong>, having wrapped up its final session on 19 July, according to a presidential decision published in the <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2021\/7\/Sisi-Senate-decree.pdf\">Official Gazette (pdf)<\/a> yesterday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When will MPs follow suit?<\/strong> It\u2019s still not clear when MPs will be following senators to Sahel. Typically, the end of the legislative cycle coincides with the end of the fiscal year, but this year\u2019s session has dragged on into July, with lawmakers still needing to hold final votes on several bills.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE BIG STORY IN THE REGION-<\/strong> Tunisian president Kais Saied has removed the country\u2019s prime minister and suspended parliament in response to violent clashes between police and protesters angry with the government\u2019s handling of the covid-19 pandemic and the economy. In a challenge to Tunisia\u2019s nascent democracy, Saied said he would assume executive power alongside a new prime minister who would be appointed in the coming hours. Protesters, who had directed their ire at the dominant Ennahda Party and called for early elections, reacted to the news by celebrating in the streets. The story is getting a lot of attention in the foreign press: <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/africa-business-health-religion-government-and-politics-16940789fd496f6de6c32508be4569bc\">Associated Press<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-07-25\/tunisian-president-removes-prime-minister-sky-arabia-says?sref=mmeFTDW1\">Bloomberg<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skynewsarabia.com\/middle-east\/1453438-%D9%82%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%B3%D8%B9%D9%8A%D9%91%D8%AF-%D8%A7%D8%AD%D8%AA%D9%81%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%AA%D9%88%D9%86%D8%B3-%D9%88%D8%AD%D8%B1%D9%82-%D9%85%D9%82%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%86%D9%87%D8%B6%D8%A9\">Sky Arabia<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/tunisian-president-relieves-prime-minister-his-post-2021-07-25\/\">Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>***CATCH UP QUICK<\/strong> on the top stories from yesterday\u2019s edition of <strong>EnterprisePM:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Aldar gets more time for SODIC MTO:<\/strong> The UAE real estate developer <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/a80c9eb1-27bf-42d2-adf9-5663e74076c4\">has another 30 working days<\/a> to submit a mandatory tender offer to acquire at least 51% of Sodic after regulators extended the deadline for the third time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>UAE\u2019s Bee\u2019ah is lobbying for more contracts in new cities: <\/strong>The waste management company could also be <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/26693111-2a9c-4b54-9dd4-8b8cbbd94be8\">looking to extend<\/a> its 15-year contract to provide waste management services for the new administrative capital as new phases of the city are inaugurated.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tech, vocational education get more German funding:<\/strong> German development bank KfW <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/39b93fe3-406a-43b5-9839-c0c3f2eb8732\">will provide<\/a> EUR 41 mn to the Education Ministry over the coming year for projects that aim to develop technical and vocational education in Egypt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><strong>M&A UPDATE-<\/strong> Bank ABC yesterday confirmed in <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2021\/7\/Bank-ABC-Clarification-on-Issued-Article-2021-FRA-Approval.pdf_53413.pdf\">a disclosure (pdf)<\/a> to the Bahraini stock exchange that it has <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/511ea1c2-3ad6-446a-bcb2-5147b5743df1\">received approval from the Financial Regulatory Authority<\/a> to go ahead with its acquisition of up to 100% of Blom Bank Egypt\u2019s shares.
