We are actually seeing genuine growth kicking in.\u201d And while that growth has not been observed in the likes of Egypt\u2019s PMI readings, \u201cbut we\u2019re confident that it will improve further in each tune,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bonds over shares: <\/strong>Government bonds are still attractive and the T-bill trade should remain comfortable for the rest of the year, he noted. The risk-reward tradeoff is much more attractive in government bonds than in equities, where valuations remain low. \u201cWhat\u2019s holding equities back is the low liquidity that you have, whereas the T-bill market really simply offers you better liquidity and certainly better payoff,\u201d Iqbal said. Government debt instruments have seen strong inflows from abroad so far this year, with foreign holdings of bills and bonds standing at between<a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/32c7b2cc-95aa-4cb6-962f-496eade1e38d\">USD 28-29 bn<\/a> at the end of May, little changed from a record high of USD 28.5 bn in mid-February.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you just as confused about this as we are? <\/strong>It may not last into next year, as the risk of a government rate hike could impact payoffs in the T-bill trade, Iqbal says. Higher rates attract the carry trade who look for returns on higher bond yields. Egypt\u2019s relatively high real interest rates have largely been responsible for the inflows.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Iqbal downplayed the impact of<\/strong> <strong>GERD in growth, <\/strong>saying that while there is a political risk stemming from the GERD, the conflict would likely be resolved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>He DID NOT downplay the risks of a fourth wave:<\/strong> A fourth wave of the coronavirus poses the greatest short-term risk to Egypt\u2019s economy, Iqbal said\u2014especially since the high population density in Cairo makes it difficult to enforce social distancing measures. \u201cMorbidity has been pretty much the highest that you\u2019d find anywhere else in the Middle East as a result, so it\u2019s been a concern for us that you could see another wave coming in through.\u201d Health Minister Hala Zayed this week warned that rising case numbers could herald a fourth wave incoming at the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/41c4d9d1-17d6-4e13-acbf-5c5e86c69725\">end<\/a> of September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Credit Suisse seems optimistic about our post-covid recovery, as the economy shows signs of real growth, t-bills remaining attractive and muted risks from the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) conflict, Fahd Iqbal, Credit Suisse\u2019s head of private bank Middle East research, told Bloomberg\u2019s Middle East: Daybreak show this morning (watch, runtime: 09:06).
