But our starting point isn\u2019t horrible at all: Inflation has been stable \u2014 annual urban inflation rose marginally to <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/2ad47058-a1df-4f79-a48e-1b39c17beb79\">4.5% in February<\/a> from 4.3% in January \u2014 and foreign investors are still purchasing local bonds.

Arqaam Capital sees inflation at 6-7% through 2021, EFG Hermes is forecasting 6%, while Pharos is penciling in a sustained rise in the headline rate averaging 7% until the fourth quarter, when it might begin to back off.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But we\u2019re also starting from a low point in consumer demand.<\/strong> Metals factories, for instance, are at best operating at 50-60% capacity, officials told us this week, so the impact of rising global metals prices has been muted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The risk could push the government to move harder on hedging \u2014 particularly with <\/strong><strong>wheat.<\/strong> The government is currently considering hedging against rising wheat prices. As the world\u2019s biggest importer of wheat, Egypt\u2019s budget is heavily exposed to the ongoing rally that has seen wheat prices increase more than 40% from lows witnessed in March to USD 207 per tonne on 1 March.

Most analysts we spoke with this week feel that the CBE will leave interest rates on hold in anticipation of a rise in inflation. \u201cWhile inflation numbers support a 25-50 bps cut in rates, the rise in US Treasury yields and the risk for EM portfolio exits might prompt the MPC to leave rates unchanged,\u201d Pharos\u2019 head of research Radwa El Swaify said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So far, we don\u2019t have to worry about an exodus:<\/strong> Foreign holdings of Egyptian debt recovered to exceed their pre-covid level, rising to USD 29 bn at the end of last month.
