A Reuters poll <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/02\/14\/what-were-tracking-this-week-85\/\">earlier this week<\/a> showed nine out of 13 economists expecting the central bank to hold overnight deposit and lending rates at 14.75% and 15.75%, respectively. Five out of seven economists <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2017-02-15\/why-28-inflation-may-still-not-warrant-an-egypt-rate-increase\">surveyed by Bloomberg<\/a> agree. <strong>\u201cA further rate increase will not be of much help,\u201d<\/strong> Radwa El Swaify, head of research at Pharos Holding, says. Bloomberg\u2019s Ahmed Feteha nails it on the head when he writes: \u201cWith the majority of Egyptians without bank accounts, raising interest rates typically takes time to contain inflation. It can, however, immediately increase government borrowing costs and curb credit growth, economists say.\u201d Adds El Swaify: <strong>A rate increases risks doing more damage than good to the economy and \u201cwould be negative for growth.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>On inflation<\/strong>, Chris Jarvis, IMF mission chief for Egypt, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2017-02-15\/imf-expects-egypt-inflation-to-ease-when-reform-impact-wears-off\">told Feteha<\/a>: \u201cWe expected inflation to go up, as it did, for several months after the launch of the reform program,\u201d but inflation should slow down \u201conce these effects wear off, and so long as budget and monetary policies remain tight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>There\u2019s no love for Egypt this week from BMI, which is projecting \u201clackluster growth\u201d<\/strong> in the coming quarters, and expecting the country\u2019s sovereign creditworthiness to deteriorate further before improving. In its featured story on Egypt in its monthly MENA report for March 2017 (extracts <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/BMI-Africa-Monitor-March-2017-1-1.png\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/BMI-Africa-Monitor-March-2017-2.png\">here<\/a>), BMI sees falling yields on sovereign debt as unjustified considering the marginal growth, which it projects to land at 3.2% for the year, below the Bloomberg consensus at 3.6%. \u201cYields on Egypt's bonds will inevitably rise over the coming quarters given anticipated further hikes in interest rates in 2017 by 50bps to 16.25% and our expectation for a 15% depreciation in the EGP against the USD by the end of 2017. Slightly mitigating the implication of these trends is that while the country's debt is relatively high (about 80% of GDP), only 19% of GDP is denominated in foreign currency, thus reducing exposure to currency movements.\u201d In addition to slow growth, BMI has placed heavy weight on a slow recovery of tourism industry and only a marginal uptick in consumption given subsidy reforms, high unemployment, and a slight reduction of the fiscal deficit (forecast to drop to 9.9% of GDP in 2017).<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"content-anchor\" id=\"tldr-story-02\"><\/a> <strong>Hey, investor relations officers: You officially have more time to disclose FY results. <\/strong>The Egyptian Financial Supervisory Authority (EFSA) <a href=\"http:\/\/egx.com.eg\/downloads\/Bulletins\/39088_1.pdf\">has extended<\/a> the deadline for submitting 1H2016-17 financial results for EGX-listed companies to 28 February, while companies filing full-year results will get an extra month and must disclose FY2016 results by 16 April.
