Good morning, friends<\/strong>. <\/strong>We\u2019re kicking off the issue with some good news that after three long years of contraction, the country\u2019s non-oil private sector has inched back up into growth territory. But that\u2019s not all today, with El Sisi is set to touch down in Turkey today for his first visit to the country since being in the top job, Hurghada\u2019s long-awaited solar projected back in the works, debt news galore, and much more. We\u2019ve got a packed issue today, so let\u2019s jump right into it.<\/p>\n

HAPPENING TODAY- <\/p>\n

<\/a> #1- El Sisi touches down in Turkey:<\/strong> Today is the day that President Abdel Fattah El Sisi touches down in Turkey for his long-awaited visit to the country since assuming office as the two countries seek to mend fences<\/a> and build diplomatic and economic ties, Turkey\u2019s Directorate of Communications confirmed<\/a> yesterday. El Sisi is set to meet with Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan and together chair the first meeting of the long-stalled high-level Strategic Cooperation Council between the two countries in the works since 2010.<\/p>\n

On the agenda: <\/strong>Although details from the Turkish side are skimpy and Egypt has yet to release a statement on the trip, in addition to Gaza \u2014 that will presumably top discussions \u2014 Ahmed Moussa told his viewers on Ala Mas'ouleety earlier this week that the visit will include \u201cdiscussions on all bilateral and international issues, as well as the signing of numerous agreements and MoUs in various areas\u201d (watch, runtime: 2:21<\/a>). Al Arabiya\u2019s Turkey correspondent also told Amr Adib that economic relations and cooperation in areas such as tourism, transportation, and the defense industry, alongside expanding the countries\u2019 joint freetrade agreement would be on the agenda.<\/p>\n

The two countries are \u201copening a new chapter<\/strong>,\u201d El Sisi said in a presser when Erdogan made his first visit in over a decade<\/a> in February (watch, runtime: 15:15<\/a>). The two sides have been working to mend a decade of tense relations triggered by a host of issues, including Erogan\u2019s support for the Muslim Brotherhood, competing interests in Libya, and tensions over gas resources in the Eastern Mediterranean. Under this new relationship, the two countries are planning to boost annual bilateral trade from USD 6.6 bn in 2023 to USD 15 bn in the next few years.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> #2- Madbouly is in Beijing for the launch of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation: <\/strong>Keep your eyes peeled for investment and debt news, because Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly is attending the three-day Forum on China-Africa Cooperation<\/a> and is also booked in with Chinese officials and business leaders to discuss agreements and proposed investments in the works. A cabinet statement earlier this week told us<\/a> that Madbouly will ink a number of MoUs and contracts related to investments in the Suez Canal Economic Zone and the Egyptian telecommunications sector, without going into details.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve already heard that we\u2019re getting new funding from our BRICS buddy: <\/strong>China will be extending a CNY 100 mn in development grant \u2014 currently worth around EGP 681 mn or USD 14 mn \u2014 in order to implement a number of new joint projects, according to another cabinet statement<\/a> out yesterday. <\/p>\n

\n

\n

#3- The two-day US-Egypt Joint Economic Committee meeting kicks off in Washington<\/strong> today,<\/strong> with government and business representatives expected to discuss Egypt\u2019s current economic straits, existing investment opportunities and hurdles, and the coordination of PPPs between the two countries, according to an Investment Ministry statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

#4- It\u2019s day two at the <\/strong>Egypt International Airshow<\/a><\/strong>, which kicked off yesterday in El Alamein. The event covers all things aviation through Thursday, bringing together participants from over 300 companies from more than 100 countries. It also features exhibitions from 200+ companies, discussions from industry leaders, and even aircraft flyovers and displays.<\/p>\n

HAPPENING TOMORROW- <\/p>\n

<\/a> It\u2019s decision time for the MPC: <\/strong>The Central Bank of Egypt\u2019s Monetary Policy Committee is meeting tomorrow to review rates. The bank left interest rates unchanged during its last meeting<\/a> in July citing its commitment to sustaining the current trajectory of inflation moderation. <\/p>\n

The polls are in: <\/strong>The central bank is once again expected to leave interest rates unchanged as persisting inflationary pressures keep potential rates at bay, eight analysts and economists told Enterprise<\/a> in a poll earlier this week. Those polled by Reuters agree, with 14 of the 15 that the newswire spoke to predicting that rates will be held steady and one penciling in a 100 bps rate cut<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/p>\n

DATA POINT-<\/p>\n

<\/a> The Electricity Ministry expects to collect EGP 500 mn in fines <\/strong>from overdue electricity bills during the current fiscal year, ministry sources told Al Arabiya<\/a>. Egyptian Electric Utility and Consumer Protection Regulatory Agency (Egyptera) introduced<\/a> a 7% fine on overdue electricity bills which will come into effect with September\u2019s bill. Those who fail to pay for three consecutive months will receive a warning before having their meters removed.<\/p>\n

KUDOS-<\/p>\n

Local firm MUSEEUM is up for the Arab World Design Award: <\/strong>Local retail management company and the operator behind the Grand Egyptian Museum\u2019s (GEM) gift shop MUSEEUM<\/a> has been nominated for this year\u2019s Arab World Design Award for its curation of the GEM gift shop. Hosted by the Institut du Monde Arabe (IMA), the award \u201caims to highlight emerging and established designers from the Arab world,\u201d according to the institute\u2019s website<\/a>. The winning candidates will be named today and an exhibition of the winning projects will be held at the IMA in Paris from 5-15 September.<\/p>\n

What MUSEEUM does:<\/strong> The company works as a curator for heritage destinations and museums, using \u201cresearch and analysis to craft a collection that captures the historical essence of its surroundings,\u201d MUSEEUM co-founder Jaeyung Kwon told Enterprise. \u201cOur goal is to cater to a diverse audience, encompassing tourists, bucket list enthusiasts, proud locals, Egyptophiles, as well as academics and teachers and students,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The firm\u2019s strategy involves collaborating with both artisanal and manufactured products <\/strong>fully crafted by Egyptians<\/strong>, and making sure that artists get their fair share of the value chain while still delivering favorable and varied prices, Kwon tells us. \u201cIn Egypt, the artisanal talent is there, but through design and curation we point artisans towards global interest. Good design can show both the customers and the craftsmen what they've been missing,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

THE BIG STORY ABROAD- <\/p>\n

<\/a> All eyes are on Wall Street in the international business press<\/strong> this morning<\/strong>, with the S&P 500 having dropped<\/a> 2.1% by yesterday\u2019s close. A 9.5% slide in Nvidia\u2019s stock price prompted a selloff of other big tech names. Nvidia was breaking all of the wrong types of records<\/a> yesterday, claiming the unenviable title of having the steepest-ever single-day loss of market cap<\/a> by a US company \u2014 wiping off a whopping USD 279 bn during trading.<\/p>\n

Traders were <\/strong>prepared for a rocky September<\/a><\/strong>, but probably not this rocky. <\/strong>On top of the \u201ctraditional\u201d September slump, an upcoming US jobs report on Friday, interest rate cut speculation ahead of the Fed\u2019s mid-month meeting, and 10 September televised debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have been weighing on the market.<\/p>\n

Analysts are increasingly wondering if this may signal the end to chip mania<\/strong>, which had until recently been the main driver pushing US stock markets to historic records. After all the money that has been pumped into chipmakers over the last year and a half, a period of reflection and readjustment may be a matter of course, thinks Jackson Square Capital\u2019s Andrew Graham, telling Reuters that \u201call tech revolutions go through periods of disillusionment.\u201d<\/p>\n

But high expectations aren\u2019t Nvidia\u2019s only problem<\/strong>, with it being reported on the same day<\/a> that the US Department of Justice has subpoenaed Nvidia in an antitrust probe.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t much calmer in the oil markets<\/strong>, with Brent crude falling 4.9% to settle under USD<\/a>74<\/a> and wiping out gains the black stuff had made throughout the year. Driving the fall was news that Libya is ready to turn back the tap back on. A dispute between competing political factions over oil revenue and control of the central bank had effectively stopped exports on the formal market. <\/p>\n

AND IN OUR CORNER of the world, Riad Salameh faces the music \u2026 again. <\/strong>Former Banque du Liban head Riad Salameh was arrested<\/a> yesterday in Beirut for alleged financial crimes related to USD 110 mn he amassed through the Lebanese central bank\u2019s dealings with brokerage firm Optimum Invest.<\/p>\n
