It said it expects tourism to continue rebounding in 1H2021 and offset some of the economic damage wrought by the pandemic, coupled with a recovery in Suez Canal revenues amid an expected rise in global oil prices. The bank is keeping an eye on the extent to which the government will push for growth, especially with the planned privatization program. Maintaining an inflation rate between 6-12% was initially not difficult after the EGP float, even after the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) kicked off its monetary easing cycle.
