Good morning, ladies and gents.<\/strong> We bring news of a potentially, slightly positive development in the situation in Gaza (if anything related to this horrific war can ever be called positive, that is\u2026.).<\/p>\n

Is the West feeling the international pressure?<\/strong>With the intensifying humanitarian crisis in Gaza and growing uproar around the world about the West\u2019s response to Israel\u2019s prosecution of the war, there are signs that sentiment may be shifting. A number of Western nations, including the US, Canada<\/a> and Australia<\/a>, are now accepting that there needs to be a pause in the fighting to prevent the disaster from getting any worse. Whether the Israelis are in the mood to listen, even if it is to their chief benefactors, will be key.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s \u201cpause,\u201d not \u201cceasefire\u201d: <\/strong>The Western consensus remains firmly against bringing the conflict to an end, with the US in particular fully aligning with Israel\u2019s goal of wiping out Hamas, even if it means mass civilian casualties. \u201cA ceasefire, right now, really only benefits Hamas \u2026 It is ugly and it\u2019s going to be messy, and innocent civilians are going to be hurt<\/strong> going forward,\u201d White House spokesperson John Kirby told reporters<\/a> yesterday.<\/p>\n

International pressure:<\/strong>This followed a tense debate at the UN Security Council yesterday, which saw a number of countries \u2014 including Egypt \u2014 condemn the \u201cdouble standards\u201d being displayed by Washington, London, and other Western capitals over their apparent indifference to Israel\u2019s brutal air campaign and total siege of Gaza.<\/p>\n

The conflict is continuing to dominate the world\u2019s attention this morning<\/strong>, with the latest updates front and center of homepages everywhere from the Associated Press<\/a> and Reuters<\/a> to Bloomberg<\/a> and the Financial Times<\/a> <\/p>\n

^^ We have the full story in the news well, below.<\/p>\n

Also getting a lot of attention internationally: The latest plot twist at the circus that is the <\/strong>US Republican Party.<\/strong> Following several weeks of infighting, the House GOP thought it had finally found their guy to be the House speaker, with US House majority whip Tom Emmer yesterday getting the party\u2019s nomination. Enter Donald Trump and the party\u2019s far-right fringe, which swiftly shot down his candidacy, keeping the party in deadlock and extending the paralysis at Congress. The New York Times<\/a>, the Washington Post<\/a>, the Wall Street Journal<\/a> and CNN<\/a> have more.<\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE-<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a> #1- UAE, KSA to make fresh central bank deposits? <\/strong>The Central Bank of Egypt could receive another USD 5 bn in deposits from the UAE and Saudi Arabia to top up its foreign reserves, reports Al Borsa<\/a>, citing unnamed sources. The funds could be sourced via a renewal of existing deposits made by the two Gulf countries that are due to expire next year, said one of the newspaper\u2019s sources, adding that the funds will likely be converted into investments over several years. <\/p>\n

Remember:<\/strong>Our Gulf allies have kept our foreign reserves from nearing zero in recent <\/strong>years<\/strong>, with about 85% of our USD 35 bn<\/a> reserve stockpile being made up of deposits from Arab nations. The UAE\u2019s deposits in our central bank already amount to USD 10.7 bn and Saudi Arabia\u2019s deposits currently stand at USD 10.3 bn, making up 60% of our reserves.<\/p>\n

#2- El Sisi meets with economic policy chiefs: <\/strong>President Abdel Fattah El Sisi met with CBE Governor Hassan Abdalla, Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly, and the finance and planning ministers, as well as intelligence chief Abbas Kamel to discuss recent economic developments in the country, It<\/a>tihadi<\/a>ya said<\/a> yesterday. \u201cThe president directed to continue strengthening reforms related to financial and monetary policies, and to maximize the role of the private sector in the development process,\u201d the statement said, without giving away further details.<\/p>\n

#3- We could be looking at a 40% increase in crude imports for the next fiscal <\/strong>year:<\/strong> The Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) plans to increase the country\u2019s crude imports by 40% starting in FY 2024-2025, Asharq Business<\/a> reported Monday. By bringing monthly crude imports to 7 mn barrels from 5 mn currently, the government hopes to start refining more petroleum products locally to reduce our import bill from refined petroleum products.<\/p>\n

#4-<\/strong>Gold customs exemptions to be extended: <\/strong>The Madbouly government wants to extend customs exemptions designed to encourage Egyptians to bring gold into the country by an additional six months when the current scheme expires on 11 November, reports Al Borsa<\/a>, citing unnamed government sources. The initiative, which was introduced this year, is aimed at curbing the recent moves in local gold prices, which have surged due to the economic uncertainty caused by successive currency devaluations and soaring inflation.<\/p>\n

Add geopolitics to the list of reasons to be overweight on gold:<\/strong>The price of 21-carat gold jumped to over EGP 2.5k per gram<\/a> for the first time at the close of trading yesterday, extending an ongoing rally stoked by the conflict in Gaza and the widening EGP-USD parallel market rate, according to Al Borsa<\/a>. <\/p>\n

HAPPENING TODAY-<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a> Madbouly in Brussels:<\/strong> Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly is in the Belgian capital today to participate in the EU\u2019s Global Gateway Forum<\/a> on behalf of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, cabinet said<\/a> yesterday. Held under the theme \u201cStronger Together through Sustainable Investment,\u201d more than 40 high-level government representatives from the EU and its partner countries will attend the two-day event, as will representatives of financial institutions, businesses and international organizations.<\/p>\n

On the agenda:<\/strong> The prime minister will hold meetings with a number of CEOs and government officials, and deliver a speech on Egypt\u2019s push to expand renewable energy and establish a green hydrogen sector.<\/p>\n

<\/a> Day two of \u201cDavos in the Desert\u201d:<\/strong> Business leaders, investors, and policymakers the world over are in Riyadh for the Future Investment Initiative<\/a> (FII) \u2014 commonly referred to as \u201cDavos in the Desert.\u201d The conference\u2019s busy schedule<\/a> is set to wrap on Thursday.<\/p>\n

HAPPENING THIS WEEK- <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a> The National Council for Wages is meeting to discuss private sector wage hikes:<\/strong>The National Council for Wages is set to convene tomorrow to discuss minimum wage hikes and periodic bonuses for private-sector employees, a source at the council told Enterprise yesterday.<\/p>\n

Remember:<\/strong>The public-sector minimum wage was raised to EGP 4k<\/a> in September as part of a package of measures aimed at easing the burden of soaring inflation on low-income households. This is a full EGP 1k higher than the current private-sector minimum wage<\/a>, which was incr<\/a>eased to E<\/a>GP 3k<\/a> in July. <\/p>\n

Also on the agenda:<\/strong>The council is also set to discuss the doubling of the exceptional cost of living allowance to EGP 600 passed<\/a> in the House earlier this month.<\/p>\n

PSA- We\u2019re turning back our clocks. <\/strong>Daylight savings time will end in Egypt tomorrow at midnight, so don\u2019t forget to turn back your clocks and enjoy that extra hour of sleep on Friday morning.<\/p>\n
