<\/a> Egypt\u2019s commitment to insulating the economy from the impact of covid-19 is <\/strong>\u201copen-ended\u201d<\/strong> and could go above the EGP 100 bn<\/a> in stimulus and bailout funding the Sisi administration has already committed, Finance Minister Mohamed Maait said in an interview with Al Arabiya on Thursday (watch, runtime: 14:38<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The administration has about EGP 70 bn in dry powder <\/strong>from the original round, having so far deployed about EGP 30 bn in funding \u2014 including some EGP 5 bn to the Health Ministry, EGP 3 bn to the Export Subsidy Fund, EGP 3 bn to seasonal workers, and expedited payments to state contractors and suppliers, Maait said. That figure suggests the state has more room to maneuver<\/strong> \u2014 and that it has even more freedom to act after last month\u2019s surprise 300 bps interest rate cut.<\/p>\n

Maait specifically noted tourism and aviation <\/strong>as industries likely to be allocated more funding as part of the bailout program.<\/p>\n

The minister is effectively writing off the final quarter<\/strong> of the current fiscal year (2019-2020) from a revenue perspective, saying he expects state revenues could fall 25% or more in FY2019-2020. He cautioned that the ultimate impact on macro indicators will be entirely dependent on how long the covid-19 crisis lasts \u2014 and how severe it is.<\/p>\n

Foreign holdings of Egyptian sovereign debt are down about 40% by our math<\/strong> as Maait noted the figure now stands at USD 13.5-14 bn, down from USD 24 bn last month. The outflows come as investors pulled a record USD 83 bn<\/a> from emerging markets in March in a global risk-off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
