COVID-19 IN EGYPT-<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a> Egypt has now reported a total of 656 cases of covid-19<\/strong> after 47 new infections, all Egyptians, were announced by the Health Ministry<\/a> last night. The ministry also reported the death of a 44-year-old woman from Cairo, taking the death toll to 41. It said 150 people have made full recoveries and another 196 people have tested negative after seeking treatment.<\/p>\n

The first known instance of a medical professional dying after contracting covid-19 <\/strong>came yesterday as the Health Ministry mourned the passing of Dr. Ahmed Abdou Ellawah, a professor of medicine at Al Azhar University, who died at age 57. His death will bring the toll to at least 42 when it is included in the ministry\u2019s daily update this evening, health ministry spokesman Khaled Megahed said last night<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Egypt will roll out new testing facilities nationwide <\/strong>over the coming two days. Some 26 centers are already up and running, according to a cabinet statement<\/a> released after a meeting between Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly and Health Minister Hala Zayed.<\/p>\n

The nation is looking to build a three-month reserve of personal protective equipment <\/strong>(so-called \u201cPPE) for medical professionals <\/strong>amid fears of a shortage. Trade Minister Nevine Gamea is requiring Egyptian producers and importers of PPE to sell directly to the national stockpile at the Egyptian Authority for Unified Procurement, Medical Supply, and Technological Management. Suppliers to the Armed Forces and police service are exempt from the order, according to a cabinet statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The government is also adding to its strategic reserve of staple goods <\/strong>in the face of the covid-19 crisis and with Ramadan around the corner. The news came after President Abdel Fattah El Sisi met with cabinet members yesterday, according to an Ittihadiya statement<\/a>. El Sisi also urged officials to crack down on price gouging and hoarding.<\/p>\n

The New Urban Communities Authority isn\u2019t ceding an inch to real estate developers<\/strong> despite a directive from the Central Bank of Egypt that creditors reschedule loan payments and other obligations for a six-month period, the local press reports<\/a>, citing unnamed informed sources. NUCA is reportedly preparing a memo for the Housing Ministry outlining why it doesn\u2019t think land payments it is owed by real estate developers should be subject<\/strong> to the payment holiday. The domestic press report suggests NUCA needs the cashflow so that it can still honor its obligations to contractors it has engaged.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re not getting a visit from the gas meter reader this month:<\/strong> The Oil Ministry will stop sending meter readers for the duration of the crisis.

Gov\u2019t falls short in t-bond auction:<\/strong> The Central Bank of Egypt sold EGP 2.5 bn of treasury bonds in two auctions that sought to raise EGP 7.5 bn, according to the official data. The CBE sold EGP 1.5 bn of three-year bonds in an EGP 4 bn offering at a 13.9% yield, almost 400 bps under the rate requested by investors. In the EGP 3.5 bn seven-year offering, investors bought EGP 1 bn of bonds at a 14% yield, 410 bps lower than the requested rate. The government has faced issues selling its target amount of bonds in recent weeks as market turmoil caused by covid-19 pushed investors to demand higher yields.<\/p>\n

ON THE GLOBAL FRONT-<\/strong><\/p>\n

What\u2019s this? Some good news?<\/strong> US healthcare giants Johnson & Johnson and Moderna are preparing to manufacture huge quantities of covid-19 vaccines after agreeing to overtures made by the US government, Reuters reports<\/a>. The US will pay USD 421 mn to J&J to establish new manufacturing facilities that will enable it to produce more than 1 bn doses of a vaccine it is currently testing.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not get ahead of ourselves here:<\/strong> There exist no vaccines or treatments for the virus, and that\u2019s not expected to change until at least 2021.<\/p>\n

Researchers in Melbourne are investigating to see whether the BCG vaccine against tuberculosis can ward off corona,<\/strong> Bloomberg says<\/a>. It all sounds good until you realise that countries where BCG is widely used \u2014 China, Iran and the UK for example \u2014 have also become hotspots for covid. So we\u2019re not holding out too much hope that a century-old vaccine is going to be the answer to most of our current problems.<\/p>\n

The news of progress towards a vaccine helped stocks to rally:<\/strong> Healthcare stocks led the<\/a> charge in the US markets yesterday<\/a> which saw the S&P 500 rise for the fourth time in five sessions, gaining 17% over the past week. It was a similar story on the other side of the Atlantic where all indexes except Spain\u2019s IBEX finished in the green.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not in the an all clear,\u201d he told CNBC\u2019s Squawk Box<\/a>.<\/p>\n

FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF REDUNDANCY DEPARTMENT- <\/strong>IPOs are challenged (shocking, right?) as market volatility makes pricing difficult, the Financial Times reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

AfDB issues USD 3 bn bond to curb economic impact of covid-19: <\/strong>The African Development Bank (AfDB) has raised USD 3 bn from a three-year social bond, the proceeds of which will be used to finance the bank\u2019s planned \u201ccomprehensive response\u201d to cushion African countries from the economic impact of the covid-19 virus, according to a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This comes as Africa approaches its \u201cbreak the glass moment\u201d:<\/strong> At least, that\u2019s how Chairman of the joint World Bank - IMF Development Committee Ken Ofori-Atta put it in an interview withthe Financial Times<\/a>. Ofori-Atta warned that international actors need to step up their efforts to help shield the continent from the spread of the covid-19, which could wipe out 5-10% of the continent\u2019s GDP. <\/strong>That could force the IMF to step in with debt forgiveness and bailout packages.<\/p>\n

The UN is listening, joining with the IMF to call for USD 2.5 tn in emergency support for developing <\/strong>countries:<\/strong> In a report published yesterday<\/a>, the UN Conference on Trade and Development argues for massive fiscal support to be provided to lower income countries whose economies will take an \u201cenormous hit\u201d due to capital flight, falling commodity prices and currency depreciations. UNCTAD is calling for USD 1 tn in fresh liquidity, a USD 1 tn debt relief package for countries with USD debt, and USD 500 bn to support emergency health services and social programmes.<\/p>\n
