<\/a> Could the Ride-Hailing Apps Act pass the House today?<\/strong> The House of Representatives is expected to discuss the Ride-Hailing Apps Act today in its first plenary session after a 25-day recess, according to Youm7<\/a>. It remains unclear whether the discussion will culminate in a vote on the legislation, which has been fast-tracked through Cabinet and House committees<\/a> after the Administrative Court ordered last month that Uber and Careem be shut down. The law has rubbed most stakeholders the wrong way, and the Council of State (Maglis El Dawla) is also now calling the legislation\u2019s constitutionality into question. We have the full story in Speed Round, below.<\/p>\n

Parliament could receive the FY2018-19 state budget today<\/strong>, with House Speaker Ali Abdel Aal expected to refer it to the House Planning and Budgeting Committee during today\u2019s session, Youm7 reports<\/a>. Discussions on the budget will only officially begin following Finance Minister Amr El Garhy address to the assembly, the date for which has yet to be set. Last we heard<\/a>, Cabinet was awaiting sign-off from President Abdel Fattah El Sisi before shipping the budget to the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n

The House general assembly will also discuss today a draft law establishing the Supreme Anti-Terrorism and Anti-Extremism Committee<\/strong>, which Cabinet approved in January<\/a>, as well as reports from various House committees on the Consumer Protection Act and a draft law that would regulate food trucks and carts.<\/p>\n

Also on the docket for today:<\/strong> Holding final plenary session votes on legislation regulating the National Women\u2019s Council, a bill that would give incentives for innovation and scientific research, and amendments to the law on reclaiming state-owned land.<\/p>\n

After today\u2019s flurry of votes, the House will then go back into recess for the remainder of the week in observance of Easter. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The results of the presidential elections are due to be announced today at 3:00 pm.<\/strong> Preliminary results showed President Abdel Fattah El Sisi won 92% of the vote with a turnout just north of 40%.<\/p>\n

Pharos Holdings will be holding a two-day investor conference headlined \u2018In Search of Egypt Alpha\u2019 today and tomorrow. <\/strong>The event, set to see a number of senior government officials in attendance, is expected to host around 40 companies from a range of industries, Chairman and CEO Elwy Taymour said in a statement (pdf)<\/a>. The opening day will see panel discussions on the energy and petrochemicals, while the second day will see meetings between fund managers and company reps.<\/p>\n

And the yields keep tumbling down:<\/strong> Average yields on Egypt\u2019s three- and nine-month treasury bills fell at an auction on Sunday, CBE data showed<\/a>. Yields on three-month bills fell to 17.63% from 17.99% at the last similar sale a week earlier, while yields on nine-month bills decreased to 16.88% from 17.33%. Dropping yields have raised concerns that Egyptian treasuries will be less attractive to portfolio investors and carry traders, especially after the central bank cut interest rates on Thursday by 100 bps. But as we noted yesterday<\/a>, few analysts see the carry trade losing momentum any time soon, with Egypt still looking like the hot EM trade.<\/p>\n

Falling yields come amid concerns that interest in emerging market debt is tapering off.<\/strong> \u201cEmerging market funds are not seeing the inflows that they saw last year, investors are becoming more selective and issuers are making concessions on pricing,\u201d executive director of fixed income syndicate at JPMorgan Nick Darrant tells the Financial Times<\/a>. Inflows into EM debt funds are slowing, while higher bond yields have driven returns for the sector into negative territory. The JPMorgan global EM bond index has fallen 2.3% so far in 2018 after a 9.1% total return gain for 2017. Last month, we noted<\/a> that EM debt has been underperforming compared to EM equities.<\/p>\n

If history is a gauge, Saudi may not want to loudly celebrate its recent FTSE upgrade to EM status<\/strong>. \u201cQatar and the UAE, saw stock rallies fade after MSCI upgrades in May 2014, suggesting that Saudi Arabia could also see a slowdown of the flows,\u201d writes Filipe Pacheco for Bloomberg<\/a>. Pakistan\u2019s main index lost 15% last year, even after MSCI gave it an EM upgrade last June. MSCI will make a decision on classifying Saudi Arabia in June.<\/p>\n
