Bloomberg<\/strong><\/a> and the <\/strong>Financial Times<\/strong><\/a> think we\u2019re looking at a busy week ahead<\/strong> before the August news slowdown \u2014 the Fed meets on interest rates on Wednesday, the Bank of England follows suit on Thursday, and companies ranging from Apple to Caterpillar report their earnings from today through Friday. But it feels as if Egypt is ahead of the global curve for once: It\u2019s an achingly slow news day from where we sit here in Cairo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Also here at home, the central bank\u2019s monetary policy committee doesn\u2019t meet to review interest rates until 16 August. Most watchers see rates being left on hold.)<\/p>\n

Further down the road: French President Emmanuel Macron will visit Egypt in November or December<\/strong>, the head of the Egyptian-French Business Council tells Amwal Al Ghad. Macron will be accompanied by a business delegation. Separately, a group of French execs are reportedly in talks with the Port of Alexandria over a proposed French industrial zone in Alexandria.<\/p>\n

Is Pakistan taking a leaf out of Egypt\u2019s IMF playbook?<\/strong> Pakistan could ask for a USD 12 bn bailout package from the IMF \u201cto resolve the country\u2019s escalating foreign reserves crisis,\u201d the Financial Times reports<\/a>. Islamabad is no novice when it comes to IMF bailouts \u2014 since the late 1980s, the IMF has provided Pakistan with a total of 12 packages, the most recent of which was a USD 5.3 bn loan in 2013. What remains to be seen is how Imran Khan, the cricket star who seems set to become Pakistan\u2019s next prime minister<\/a>, will manage to balance the ambitious promises he made on the campaign trail and the IMF\u2019s likely demands that public spending be slashed. Analysts \u201cbelieve a return to the IMF is inevitable, and will come with damaging consequences for short-term economic growth and Mr Khan\u2019s own political reputation.\u201d<\/p>\n

This brings us to one of the biggest risks facing investors this year: How will elections play out on the policy front? <\/strong>With some 24 elections happening in emerging markets this year alone, the trajectory of economic policies is in open question. Nothing appears to underscore the risk more than Mexico and Turkey, where voters elected (or re-elected, in Turkey) nationalist candidates, writes senior portfolio manager Sean Newman for the Invesco blog<\/a>. Yet there is hope in other places, such as Columbia and Chile, where anti-establishment candidates have been defeated.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Oman is also looking to raise debt<\/strong> \u2014 albeit for different purposes than Pakistan. The sultanate plans to raise USD 1.2 bn through a loan or bond, a finance ministry official said, according to Bloomberg<\/a>. The funding would be funneled into developing infrastructure at the country\u2019s Duqm Special Economic Zone. \u201cThe financing would help the government diversify its funding sources, extend its debt maturity profile and reduce costs,\u201d the official says.<\/p>\n

It appears that Sweden is where Skynet first took over finance:<\/strong> Sweden\u2019s Nordea Bank became the only big bank in Sweden to cut costs in 2Q2018 as it began implementing the widest replacement of bankers by automatons in the whole sector, writes Bloomberg\u2019s Niklas Magnusson<\/a>. The bank\u2019s CEO, Casper von Koskull, said Nordea plans to cut 6k jobs and automate functions in everything from asset management to answering calls from retail clients. Koskull believes that industry might shed half of its current human workforce within a decade. The move saw total costs drop 11% y-o-y in 2Q2018 as staff numbers fell 8% to 29,300. Swedish banks have begun to take notice with SEB CEO Johan Torgeby now saying that \u201cwhatever can be automated will be automated.\u201d<\/p>\n

We have a hard time getting enough of emerging markets champion Mark Mobius<\/strong>, who had a long chat with the Financial Times<\/a> on a recent trip to London. The best bit: His explanation of why his ESG-themed fund will look at even coal companies as investment targets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How will Goldman\u2019s new boss remake the bulge bracket icon? <\/strong>David Solomon, the \u201cdisarmingly earnest\u201d amateur DJ who takes over as CEO and chairman of Goldman Sachs in October, has already sent plenty of signals about how he could steer the ship toward serving \u201cfar more ordinary consumers and corporations,\u201d CNBC argues<\/a>.<\/p>\n
