The Central Bank of Egypt will review interest rates at a meeting of its Monetary Policy <\/strong>Committee on 28 December<\/strong>. Keep an eye on monthly inflation figures due out any time in the coming few days<\/p>\n

Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn is expected to visit Egypt and deliver a <\/strong>speech at the House of Representatives sometime this month<\/strong>. Egypt and Ethiopia are locked in a war of words over use of Nile water. Whatever Desalegn has to say could fall on deaf ears, with 19 MPs having already signed a letter saying they would not attend his speech, Al Masry Al Youm reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/a> We hope he doesn\u2019t take it personally, as not attending sessions is a mainstay of our representatives.<\/strong> And Desalegn may not fare better with those in attendance: House Speaker Ali Abdel Aal was recently forced to turn on cell phone scramblers to stop MPs from answering phones during sessions<\/strong>, Al Shorouk reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

MPs\u2019 attendance records have apparently gotten so bad that Abdel Aal had to specifically ask <\/strong>them to (pretty please) attend today\u2019s plenary session to vote on pending legislation<\/strong>, Ahram Gate reports<\/a>. Among the bills that have been stalled due to lack of quorum: The contentious Labor Unions Act, the Youth Institutions Act<\/a> \u2014 which bans political activity in public youth clubs \u2014 and the ban on drones.<\/p>\n

IMF to sign off on Egypt loan tranche in third week of December:<\/strong> Finance Minister Amr El Garhy expects the IMF to sign off on disbursing Egypt\u2019s USD 2 bn loan tranche in the third of week of December, the minister said yesterday, according to Al Borsa<\/a>. Egypt has already received two tranches worth a combined USD 4 bn out of its USD 12 bn extended fund facility from the IMF.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
