BANKING- <\/strong><\/p>\n

MDI applies for digital banking license: <\/strong> Banque Misr subsidiary Misr Digital Innovation (MDI) on Thursday submitted an official application for a digital banking license to the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE), becoming the first local company to do so, it said in a statement (pdf)<\/a> Thursday. The company expects to launch the digital bank \u201cwithin months\u201d should it receive approval from the central bank, it said. We expect it to go live some time in early 2024.<\/p>\n

Remember: <\/strong>Local media reported earlier this month that Banque Misr plans to launch<\/a> the country\u2019s first digital bank in 1Q 2024. The CBE last month published new licensing rules for digital banks<\/a>, prompting a number of local firms to announce their intentions to apply, including Orascom Financial Holding (OFH)<\/a>, Ostoul Securities Brokerage<\/a>, and OPay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The financing would be used to expand the company\u2019s lending portfolio and obtain new low-income clients. Aman received an EGP 100 mn loan from MSMEDA in March 2022.<\/p>\n

COMMODITIES- <\/strong><\/p>\n

Sugar is now trading on the EMX: <\/strong>Orders worth 4k tons of sugar were executed on the commodity\u2019s first day of trading on the Egyptian Mercantile Exchange (EMX) on Thursday, according to Youm7<\/a>. The addition of sugar on the exchange comes as part of the government\u2019s efforts to \u201corganize markets for strategic and basic commodities,\u201d exchange head Ibrahim Ashmawy said in a statement (pdf)<\/a> ahead of the start of trading. He called on food industries, distribution and packaging companies, and traders who want to trade sugar on the bourse to register on the exchange portal<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Sugar is the fourth commodity to trade on the EGX<\/strong>, following successful listings of wheat<\/a>, yellow corn<\/a>, and bran, Ashmawy said, noting that a study is underway to list other commodities in the future.<\/p>\n

The story got international coverage: <\/strong>Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 18-km phase will extend the city\u2019s metro system to the Rod El Farrag axis west of the ring road, and link Kit Kat to Cairo University via a separate line. The previous phase running between Ataba and Kit Kat opened last year.<\/p>\n
