It\u2019s a relatively slow news day this morning as we slide into the weekend<\/strong>, suggesting that we\u2019re in the thick of the regularly scheduled summer news slowdown.<\/p>\n

<\/a> Look for the news cycle to pick up again later today, when the Central Bank of Egypt\u2019s <\/strong>Monetary Policy Committee meets<\/strong> to review interest rates. All signs point to a hold, with nine of the 10 analysts we polled this week<\/a> expecting the central bank to leave rates unchanged.<\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s diplomatic mission in Cairo is donating EUR 30k<\/strong> to Egypt\u2019s Mersal Foundation<\/a> to help provide hospitals across the country with medical equipment and PPE, according to a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Egypt sends fourth aid shipment to Lebanon:<\/strong> An Egyptian plane loaded with 14 tonnes of flour arrived in Lebanon yesterday, as the country\u2019s primary wheat silo was destroyed by the devastating blast which hit the Port of Beirut on 4 August, Egypt\u2019s embassy in Lebanon said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

WHO calls for more donations: <\/strong>The World Health Organization is calling on foreign donors to raise USD 76 mn to offset damages to medical facilities and supplies, the agency\u2019s regional programme director, Rana Hajjeh, said, according to Reuters<\/a>. The organization is particularly concerned about the country\u2019s ability to cope with covid-19, particularly as last week\u2019s blast put three hospitals out of operation \u2014 critically reducing the number of hospital beds available to treat cases.<\/p>\n

Pompeo is heading to Vienna to talk EastMed tensions with Greece\u2019s Dendias:<\/strong> US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will meet with his Greek counterpart Nikos Dendias in Vienna on Friday to discuss Turkish-Greek disputes over gas exploration and drilling in the eastern Mediterranean, Reuters<\/a> reports. Egypt and Greece signed a joint economic zone agreement<\/a> in the EastMed earlier this week, drawing ire from Turkey and leading to a series of escalations from Ankara and Athens. Turkey says it wants to engage in dialogue to resolve its dispute with Greece <\/strong>over the EastMed, but warned it was prepared to defend its \u201crights and interests,\u201d the newswire<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

With oil prices still low, Saudi Aramco is slashing its planned capex spending by 50%<\/strong> next year <\/strong>to USD 25 bn, and might not ramp up this figure until 2023, Bloomberg<\/a> reports, citing sources familiar with the matter. The oil giant is cutting spending at the same time it committed to pay out USD 75 bn in dividends this year despite sustaining a 73% plunge in its 2Q2020 earnings. \u201cThey view their ability to maintain the dividend as a competitive advantage over other oil companies, and they can cut back on capex without putting themselves in a precarious position to ramp up production when demand recovers, SMBC Nikko Securities America energy equity research David Havens says.<\/p>\n

The \u201csummer of discontent\u201d that petrostates are grappling with may be the shape of<\/strong> things to come<\/strong>, even after OPEC salvaged oil from its historic drop to bring it up to the USD 40 \/ bbl mark, Bloomberg<\/a> says. The oil cartel\u2019s \u201cshaky six\u201d \u2014 Algeria, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Nigeria, Venezuela \u2014 all face restive political and economic climates that underscore the lack of a quick fix anytime soon, even if production rebounds. The pandemic\u2019s toll on travel, international and local, is also likely to be long-lasting, hastening the conversation about peak demand and an inevitable shift to clean and renewable energy.<\/p>\n

A rally in tech stocks helped the S&P 500 close trading yesterday just shy of its February <\/strong>peak<\/strong>, Reuters<\/a> reports. The Nasdaq and Dow Jones also rallied yesterday, but the Dow Jones has yet to rebound to record levels reached in February. \u201cClearly the market has been outperforming the economy by a wide stretch recently,\u201d said JP Morgan Asset Management Chief Global Strategist David Kelly. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden\u2019s selection of California Senator Kamala Harris earlier this week has also given the market \u201ca little bit of relief in that you now have basically two centrist candidates on the Democratic ticket,\u201d Kelly said.<\/p>\n

The UK economy is a basketcase right now:<\/strong> UK economic output collapsed by a stunning 20.4% in the second quarter, the deepest recession of any major European economy and the biggest contraction on record, official figures<\/a> showed yesterday. Analysts speaking to the Financial Times<\/a> attributed the cratering economy to the country\u2019s long lockdown and its dependency on consumer-facing services, which account for 80% of output.<\/p>\n

Time to be on the EUR? <\/strong>Speculation that the USD will fall and that the EUR will rise to record levels has reached a nine year high, thanks in large part to a USD 882 bn stimulus package passed by eurozone leaders, and better containment of the pandemic on the continent compared to the US, Axios<\/a> says. Proceed with caution:<\/strong> The last time investors piled into the EUR in 2018, the market reversed and the USD soared.<\/p>\n

<\/a> A glimpse into Egypt\u2019s WTO director-general candidate\u2019s proposed policy plan:<\/strong> Egypt\u2019s candidate for the top position at the World Trade Organization (WTO) wants to overhaul the organization\u2019s political vision to better address the host of trade issues currently plaguing the world, according to the National<\/a>. Speaking at a webinar yesterday, Abdel Hamid Mamdouh said that, if he is elected to the top job, his top priorities would be \u201cto have a clear vision for a reform agenda and reform process \u2026 What do we want to do with this organization?\u201d The career diplomat said the WTO is facing a \u201ccomplete meltdown\u201d in its systems as a result of unsustainable and \u201c\u2018excessive pressure on its dispute settlement function,\u2019\u201d putting it under a stress test that necessitates serious reforms. Mamdouh is one of six candidates that have been shortlisted to become the new WTO director-general, with the winning nominee set to be named before Roberto Azev\u00eado steps down on 31 August.<\/p>\n

<\/a> How the pandemic has forced businesses to adapt their operations to become more<\/strong> resilient:<\/strong> The covid-19 pandemic uncovered significant weaknesses in global businesses\u2019 key operational areas, leading many to adopt new business plans that are grounded in diversification and agility, HSBC said in a report (pdf)<\/a>. Businesses surveyed by the bank are setting long-term plans for their staffing and office arrangements, with some saying they are looking to cut back on their office spaces or production locations, and 69% telling the bank that \u201cflexible working will become standard practice\u201d as virtual work and meetings also become more commonplace.<\/p>\n

Altogether, sustainability is the name of the game<\/strong>: Businesses are restructuring their own operations to increase sustainability, and some are also looking at environmental sustainability. To that end, companies are making changes to their supply chains in the next two years, either by diversifying, restricting or shortening their supply chain, or increasing the security of their supply chains \u201cby identifying and securing critical suppliers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some 42% of the world\u2019s youth (ages 18-29) witnessed a fall in their incomes since the<\/strong> onset of the pandemic<\/strong>, according to findings by UN\u2019s International Labor Organization (ILO). The pandemic\u2019s impact on the youth was found to be \u201csystematic, deep and disproportionate,\u201d with young women, youth in lower-income countries, and youth working in \u201csupport services and sales-related occupations\u201d bearing the brunt of the losses, the ILO<\/a>report (pdf)<\/a> said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
