It\u2019s another busy news day as we speed toward the week\u2019s end<\/strong>, starting with the fact that bank hours just got a little bit longer.<\/p>\n

Banks will be open to the public for an extra hour each day beginning September 1<\/strong>, with branches open to customers from 8:30am until 3pm, while employee hours will run from 8am until 4pm. The change comes as the Central Bank of Egypt rolled back some covid-19 restrictions in a circular (pdf)<\/a> out yesterday. Since May<\/a>, banks have been allowed to open their doors to customers from 9:30 am until 3 pm.<\/p>\n

The next step in the drawn out and contentious GERD talks is expected to take place this <\/strong>Friday<\/strong>, when the tripartite technical committee releases its report to the African Union, which is mediating the dispute.

<\/a> SIGN OF THE TIMES- Global law firm Linklaters is going to allow its more than 5k staff to <\/strong>work half the time remotely<\/strong>, which the Financial Times<\/a> says is \u201cthe strongest sign yet that changes ushered in by the pandemic are beginning to take root in a legal industry that has long valued tight-knit office culture.\u201d The firm said in a LinkedIn post<\/a> announcing \u201cnew global agile working policy\u201d <\/strong>that it will also allow staff to have \u201cflexible start and finish times, modified daily \u2018core\u2019 hours, and modified hours to allow for commitments outside of work.\u201d<\/p>\n

TIP OF THE MORNING- Still struggling to hold onto your sanity while WFH? Take cues <\/strong>from a Buddhist priest, a field manager in Antarctica and an astronaut<\/strong>, who have learned to thrive despite having intense jobs in largely isolated settings, Arianne Cohen writes for Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tried and true tips to avoid burnout:<\/strong> Learn to take a break effectively \u2014 incorporate \u201cshort pauses\u201d throughout your day in which you shake up what your mind and body are engaged in. That means taking a quick walk or otherwise squeezing in physical activity, listening to music, or reading something not related to work. And once you come back to your desk, try to remind yourself, on a deeper level, of why you\u2019re doing the work that you\u2019re doing to nurture a sense of purpose and passion that \u201ccan really get you through rough patches.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Health Ministry <\/strong>reported<\/a><\/strong> 141 new covid-19 infections yesterday<\/strong>, up from 138 the day before. Egypt has now disclosed a total of 97,619 confirmed cases of covid-19. The ministry also reported 18 new deaths, bringing the country\u2019s total death toll to 5,298. We now have a total of 67,717 confirmed cases that have fully recovered.<\/p>\n

<\/a> Egypt and China will sign next month an agreement to start working together on a <\/strong>covid-19 vaccine<\/strong>, the Health Ministry said in a statement<\/a>. State-affiliated vaccine manufacturer Vacsera<\/a> is signing on the Egyptian side. Egyptian scientists are in the third stage of clinical trials on a homegrown covid-19 vaccine, and the ministry has simultaneously contacted six international manufacturers<\/a> to get its hands on an internationally developed vaccine as soon as possible. Russia could also potentially manufacture its Sputnik V vaccine here in Egypt, we noted earlier this week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

REMINDER- All travelers to Egypt \u2014 including Egyptian citizens \u2014 to Egypt <\/strong>need to<\/a><\/strong>show a negative PCR<\/a><\/strong> test<\/strong> prior to boarding and on arrival in Egypt starting next Tuesday, 1 September. National flag carrier EgyptAir<\/a> has more on its website. The test needs to have been completed within 72 hours of flying to Egypt.<\/p>\n

Visa services outfit VFS Global is the latest to try to get in on the PCR test game<\/strong>, giving would-be travelers in Egypt, the United States, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and eight other countries the ability to book a PCR test online<\/a>. The tests in Egypt cost EGP 3.4k (at a testing center or at-home service), with results on email within 36 hours. Travelers booking from the US get results in 48 hours through a partner lab.<\/p>\n

Luxor and Aswan\u2019s reopening on 1 September couldn\u2019t be happening sooner for <\/strong>tourists from Japan, Italy, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands<\/strong>, who have apparently been submitting regular inquiries on when the popular tourist cities will begin accepting visitors again, a local tourism player told Al Mal<\/a> yesterday. The expectation is that Upper Egypt travel will pick up in December for the winter season after Nile Cruises resume in October. Cabinet\u2019s covid-19 crisis management committee earlier this week<\/a> authorized the reopening of temples, archaeological sites, attractions, and museums starting September.<\/p>\n

IPO WATCH- PayPal Mafia boss Peter Thiel thinks he\u2019s in line to make a killing as data <\/strong>outfit <\/strong>Palantir<\/a><\/strong> goes public<\/strong> \u2014 and he and his co-founders are using a three-tiered governance structure to still retain control of the US government\u2019s favourite provider of data analytics to the intelligence, military and law enforcement communities. In a move totally congruent with Palantir\u2019s ethos, the company\u2019s listing filing \u201chas sought to draw a clear line between its own business and what it dismissed as the \u2018idiosyncrasies and excesses\u2019 of the rest\u201d of Silicon Valley (which, incidentally, it is leaving for Denver, Colorado<\/a>), the FT reports<\/a>. The notoriously secretive data company is going after a direct listing (think: Slack and Spotify)<\/a>, with shares likely to start trading in September.<\/p>\n

While Palantir\u2019s listing is not really an IPO, Jack Ma\u2019s payment company Ant Group is filing <\/strong>for a USD 30 bn IPO on the Shanghai and Hong Kong stock exchanges <\/strong>in a transaction that could potentially raise a hair more than Aramco pulled in last year (was it really only last year? Not last decade?) when it listed on the Tadawul. Fat profit margins and 1 bn users underpin the Alibaba affiliate\u2019s bid for a USD 225 bn valuation.

With low borrowing costs and yield-hungry investors, Abu Dhabi is hitting the debt <\/strong>market to shore up its cash buffers.<\/strong> The emirate is marketing a triple-tranche USD-denominated debt offering that is expected to reel in USD 5 bn, Bloomberg<\/a> reports, citing a source familiar with the matter. The bond offering, which comes as Abu Dhabi looks to shore up its finances amid a still-weak outlook for oil prices that is continuing to weigh on its covid-roiled economy, will include a 50-year fixed income treasury \u2014 its longest-ever bond tenor. With a AA credit rating, Abu Dhabi\u2019s debt is expected to garner significant interest from investors \u201cthirsty for yield,\u201d said Todd Schubert, head of fixed-income research at Bank of Singapore.<\/p>\n

And speaking of the hunt for cash: Kuwait\u2019s state treasury is on track to run out of cash <\/strong>to pay out government salaries by November<\/strong> as the pandemic and collapsing oil prices pushed the Gulf country into a liquidity crisis and forced it to burn through its reserves just to stay on top of state payrolls, Bloomberg<\/a> reports. It\u2019s looking like Kuwait\u2019s only viable exit strategy is to take on loans from international lenders, but lawmakers with budget reform on their minds are pushing back.<\/p>\n

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo wants to see the the rapprochement between the <\/strong>UAE and Israel have a domino effect across the rest of the Arab world<\/strong>, saying at a press briefing<\/a> with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this week that formal diplomatic ties with Tel Aviv are key to bringing stability to the region. Top aides to US President Donald Trump are due in the UAE next Monday <\/strong>alongside an Israeli delegation to talk strengthening the UAE-Israel agreement, reports Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sudan may be next in line as it looks to continue its rehabilitation in Washington:<\/strong> Pompeo flew to Khartoum on the first non-stop flight<\/a> between Israel and Sudan yesterday to meet with Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok yesterday for talks<\/a> that Hamdok said<\/a> were \u201cdirect and transparent,\u201d but Hamdok told Pompeo<\/a> he doesn\u2019t have the mandate or authorization to normalize ties with Israel.<\/p>\n
