It was another econ-heavy night to wrap up one very econ-heavy week<\/strong>, as the nation\u2019s talking heads continued their coverage of our IMF loan agreement.<\/p>\n

A larger IMF package won\u2019t come easy: <\/strong>The Fund is \u201cseriously\u201d considering at least doubling our USD 3 bn loan agreement to USD 6-10 bn but that hinges on two factors \u2014 the government providing sufficient proof that it can bring inflation down to a single digit figure and having sufficient FX reserves to keep the EGP from freefalling when the CBE floats the currency, House Budget Committee head Fakhri El Fiqi told Yahduth Fi Misr\u2019s Sherif Amer (watch, runtime: 4:22<\/a>). Amer also interviewed economist Mostafa Badra, who said that the IMF would increase the loan program proportionately with how much the central bank is willing to devalue the EGP (watch, runtime: 7:40<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Our FX shortage means price hikes all over: <\/strong>\u201cAs long as we have a USD problem, we\u2019ll have problems regarding everything else,\u201d Ala Masouleety\u2019s Ahmed Moussa said (watch, runtime: 3:19<\/a>). His statement echoed across the airwaves with deputy head of the Federation of Egyptian Industries\u2019 (FEI) building materials industries division, Kamal El Dessouki telling Masaa DMC (watch, runtime: 4:11<\/a> | 6:38<\/a>) that if the state doesn\u2019t bridge the gap between the official and black market USD rate \u201cnone of the commodity-related issues in Egypt will be solved.\u201d <\/p>\n

CBE says no new daily withdrawal caps here:<\/strong>The central bank\u2019s ceiling on cash withdrawals remains unchanged \u2014 at EGP 150k for both companies and individuals, it said in a statement (pdf)<\/a> yesterday. This came following a number of local media reports that said otherwise. \u201cUnfortunately, media outlets were sharing rumors based on a dated central bank statement,\u201d Moussa said (watch, runtime: 7:10<\/a>). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
