We\u2019re three years old this morning, and we\u2019re feeling a little chuffed about that. <\/strong>On this day in 2014, we sent out the first issue of Enterprise<\/a> to just under 50 friends and family, and the rest is history. In the time since, we\u2019ve written roughly 6,171,000 words about business, finance and the economy Egypt <\/strong>\u2014 nearly double that if you add in our Arabic edition.As we mark the passing of another year, we offer our deepest thanks to Pharos Holding, CIB and SODIC, whose generosity makes Enterprise possible, and to each and every one of the more than 30k readers in Egypt and 184 other countries who start their business days with us. You\u2019re the reason we stay up all night or wake at an ungodly hour every day. We have lots more in store for the years ahead <\/strong>and, as always, welcome your feedback, comments, ideas and criticism on editorial@enterprise.press \u2014 we read every single email we receive.<\/p>\n

<\/a> We can think of no better morning than our birthday morning to acknowledge the <\/strong>success of some of our favourite people. <\/strong>The Middle East Investor Relations Association handed out its IR awards while we were all taking a long weekend. The plaques are based on Extel\u2019s survey of buy- and sell-side analysts \u2014 in other words, the folks who consume what comes out of IR programs. We were over the moon to hear that CIB CEO Hussein Abaza was acknowledged as \u201cBest IR by CEO\u201d for the Middle East as a whole. <\/strong>If you\u2019ve ever had the pleasure of sitting in the room while Hussein wrangles investors, you know he sets the gold standard for IR storytelling \u2014 and that\u2019s before you throw in the wit and self-deprecating humor. Meanwhile, Heba Makhlouf\u2019s program at SODIC<\/strong> was acknowledged as \u201cLeading Corporate for IR \u2014 Egypt\u201d and CIB\u2019s Yasmine Hemeda <\/strong>was named \u201cBest IR Professional \u2014 Egypt.\u201d The full list of winners has yet to be posted to MEIRA\u2019s website, but a little birdie sent us this photo of the list<\/a>, and you can check out the nominees here in full (pdf)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The deadline for the management shakeup at public-sector banks expired last night.<\/strong> Nothing was announced by dispatch time, but Youm7 reports it was told industry sources<\/a> that the changes would be announced by Prime Minister Sherif Ismail.
