CBE to receive FEB\u2019s notes on Central Bank and Banking Act today? <\/strong>The Federation of Egyptian Banks should be sending its notes on the Central Bank and Banking Act to the central bank today, a source close to the matter tells Daily News Egypt.<\/a> The memo will reportedly outline the thoughts of multiple bank leaders. We previously noted<\/a> that there were unconfirmed reports of progress on controversial items in the bill, including term limits for managing directors, CBE representation on bank boards and a proposal that banks kick in 5% of their bottom line for an industry development fund. A draft of the proposed amendments first surfaced last month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Eid Al Adha is but 11 mornings away<\/strong> (not including this morning), running Thursday, 31 August through Monday, 4 September. Count on being back at your desk on Tuesday, 5 September. We are (uncharacteristically) loving the heat with which our fair city has been blessed, probably because the humidity has been so low and the mercury has plunged each day after 3:30 or 4pm. And we still hold that Cairo is never better than during the Eid. But if you want to get away: Eight Spots for When You Need to Get Away for a Weekend<\/strong><\/a> from Bloomberg includes three places we\u2019ve enjoyed very much over the years, so we credit it for having taste.<\/p>\n

Oh, and it\u2019s just a few short weeks until the expected unveiling of the next iPhone and <\/strong>the launch of iOS 11<\/strong>, with the latter promising to turn your iPad into a productivity machine by addressing the lingering restrictions about which business types have complained for years. Apple released this weekend six minute-long videos outlining how to use some of iOS 11\u2019s cooler iPad features. <\/strong>MacStories has links to all six here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
