LAST WEEK IN 3 MINS-<\/p>\n

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

An all-time high record of 14.9 mn tourists visited Egypt in 2023,<\/strong> breaking the previous record of 14.7 mn tourists set in 2010, Tourism Minister Ahmed Issa said at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday<\/a>. The figures come in line with the state\u2019s target to reel in 15 mn tourists during 2023, despite the headwinds that the industry has been facing. The number of tourists last year is also up 27.4% compared to the 11.7 mn tourists that the country welcomed in 2022.<\/p>\n

M&A WATCH-<\/strong><\/p>\n

#1- ADQ invests big in historic hotels: <\/strong>Abu Dhabi wealth fund ADQ and its subsidiary Adnec Group will take part-ownership of several luxury Egyptian hotels after it signed an agreement<\/a> to acquire 40.5% of Icon, the hospitality arm of Talaat Moustafa Group (TMG), through a capital increase in a USD 882.5 mn transaction. ADQ will own a stake in Icon\u2019s existing portfolio of 15 luxury assets across Egypt, in addition to the recently acquired seven historic hotels.<\/p>\n

Advisors: <\/strong>EFG Hermes was the sole financial advisor to TMG Holding on both ADQ and Adnec\u2019s acquisition of a stake in Icon and was sole financial advisor to TMG on its acquisition of the heritage hotels from the Government of Egypt. White & Case UAE and Egypt were legal counsel to ADQ and Adnec, while Gibson Dunn, Sarie El-Din & Partners, and Shahid Law were counsel to TMG.<\/p>\n

#2- General Atlantic is on track to buy<\/strong> Actis to form USD 96 bn asset manager: <\/strong>US private equity firm General Atlantic<\/a>has agreed to acquire<\/a> London-based, emerging markets-focussed infrastructure fund manager Actis<\/a>. The move will add USD 12.5 bn worth of assets under management to General Atlantic\u2019s USD 83 bn portfolio. The value of the acquisition wasn\u2019t disclosed.<\/p>\n

DEBT WATCH-<\/strong><\/p>\n

#1- Unlocking a larger IMF package is \u201ccritical\u201d<\/strong> for the success of Egypt\u2019s loan program, the international lender\u2019s director of communications, Julie Kozack, said during a press briefing<\/a>. She did not provide any details on the size of the larger package needed or a timeline on when we can expect it to be announced.<\/p>\n

Negotiations in progress: <\/strong>The Fund is currently in discussions with Egyptian authorities regarding the policy requirements necessary for the Fund to sign off on the first two reviews of the loan program, namely tightening fiscal and monetary policy and moving towards a flexible exchange rate, Kozack said.<\/p>\n

#2- FinMin eyes possible local-currency bond sales in BRICS countries:<\/strong> Egypt could issue<\/a> bonds in the local currencies of New Development Bank (NDB) member countries, which the country joined in April 2023.<\/p>\n

#3- Fresh funds to boost our food and energy security: <\/strong>Egypt will receive a USD 250 mn<\/a> sharia-compliant trade loan facility from the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) and International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation (IFTC) to support Egypt\u2019s food and oil security.<\/p>\n

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

Prepare to bid farewell<\/a><\/strong> to some of <\/strong>your favorite retail shops: <\/strong>Kuwaiti retail conglomerate Alshaya Group<\/a> \u2014 one of the region\u2019s largest retail franchise operators \u2014 will be sharply reducing its business activity in Egypt.<\/p>\n

What does that mean? <\/strong>The company\u2019s brands will be gradually exiting the local market \u2014 some of the brands will fully shut their doors, while others will just decrease operations. Alshaya owns the franchising rights for Starbucks, H&M, Mothercare, Debenhams, American Eagle Outfitters, and other household names. <\/p>\n

\n

WHAT\u2019S HAPPENING NEXT WEEK-<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Egypt wants to <\/strong>set terms for helping the EU control migration ahead of next week\u2019s meeting:<\/strong>\u201cEconomic support, investment guarantees, technology transfer, jobs, and food security\u201d is what we want from the European Union<\/a> in exchange helping it curb migration across the Mediterranean, ambassador to the EU Badr Abdelatty told the Financial Times<\/a> ahead of a meeting between Egypt and European officials on 23 January.<\/p>\n

We may be in for a three-day weekend next week<\/strong> in observance of 25th of Jan Revolution and Police Day, which falls on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\n

AROUND THE WORLD IN SEVEN DAYS-<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Regional tensions escalated wherever you look on the map:<\/strong><\/p>\n

#1- Iran is opening fire on its neighbors, claiming to fight \u201canti-Iran terror groups\u201d<\/strong>. The Islamic Republic fired missiles and launched drones against targets in Syria, Iraq, and Pakistan in 24 hours between Tuesday and Wednesday, openly claiming responsibility for the operations. It says the missile attacks underscore that it will be \u201ctough and decisive\u201d with its foes, the New York Times<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

#2- Pakistan retaliated yesterday with drones and rockets on Baloch separatist militants <\/strong>in Iran, <\/strong>killing more than nine people in a neighboring village, two days after Iran attacked the Pakistani separatist group Jaish al-Adl. The two countries frequently exchange accusations of harboring separatist groups to attack the other country, but this marks the biggest conflict between them. With instability in the region already at a high from Israel\u2019s war on Gaza, officials from both parties want to stop the tension before it escalates, with the Foreign Ministers from each nation hopping on a call to settle the dispute. (Reuters<\/a> | Bloomberg<\/a> | Associated Press<\/a>)<\/p>\n

#3- <\/strong>Oil and gas woes deepen amid Red Sea escalation:<\/strong> Global oil giant Shell has suspended<\/a>shipments<\/a> through the Red Sea indefinitely amid fears of further escalations in the waterway as the US and UK air strikes<\/a> on Houthi facilities in Yemen enter its eighth day today.<\/p>\n

Suez Canal revenues since the beginning of the year are down 40% y-o-y<\/strong>, Suez CanalAuthority head Osama Rabie told Kol Youm last week (watch, runtime: 24:33<\/a>). Shipping volumes fell 30% y-o-y during the first 11 days of the year with 544 vessels passing the canal during the period compared to 777 in 2023.<\/p>\n

By the numbers: <\/strong>Different carriers have been differently impacted by the current tension in the waterway \u2014 the number of gas carriers has dropped by 96% from last month, followed by container ships with an 80% m-o-m dip, oil tankers (55%), and bulk carriers (25%).<\/p>\n

#4- A depressing milestone: <\/strong>The conflict in Gaza clocked day 100<\/a> this week as Israel\u2019s bombardment of the enclave and ground offensive has killed 24k people, injured over 60k injuries, and internally displaced<\/a> over 85% of the population. Despite diplomatic efforts, Israel\u2019s offensive shows few signs of waning.<\/p>\n

THIS WEEK THE WORLD HEADED TO DAVOS-<\/strong><\/p>\n

All eyes on Davos: <\/strong>World leaders, heads of global banks, the world\u2019s brightest economists, Gulf bn\u2019aires, and Wall Street giants gathered in Switzerland for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum<\/a> under the theme of \u201crebuilding trust.\u201d Regional heavyweights have made appearances, including leading officials from Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran and Palestine as well as our very own International Cooperation Minister Rania Al Mashat. The meeting kicked off on Monday and wraps up today. <\/p>\n

TRUMP TAKES IOWA-<\/strong><\/p>\n

Republicans put their weight behind the Donald:<\/strong> Former US President Donald Trump took the caucuses, as expected with Ron DeSantis landing in second place with a very wide margin after edging out Nikki Haley. Although DeSantis is now in pole position to battle it out with Trump for the Republican Party\u2019s presidential nomination, Haley is still not out of the picture entirely, boasting strong numbers in the next two Republican primary nomination states \u2014 New Hampshire and South Carolina<\/p>\n

Trump was always tipped to come out on top<\/strong>, but a much stronger than expected showing has pundits openly suggesting that his appeal has expanded beyond his base<\/a> (at least in very white, very Republican midwestern states\u2026) and that Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis are \u201crunning out of time\u201d<\/a> to stop him.<\/p>\n
