Good morning<\/strong>, all, and a very Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating. <\/strong>The news slowdown has come to halt thanks to two pretty big pieces of news that came in during the early hours of the morning \u2014 Egypt and the IMF reached a staff-level agreement on the fourth review of the USD 8 bn loan program and Beltone Holding announced its second mega capital increase in as many years. <\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE- <\/p>\n

<\/a> #1- Your mobile and internet plans are about to get even pricier: <\/strong>The National Telecom Regulatory Authority has given telecom operators the greenlight to hike prices of their mobile and internet services by up to 30%, a government source told EnterpriseAM. The move comes a little over two weeks after Telecom Egypt and Egypt\u2019s other three other telecom operators hiked the prices<\/a> of their home internet and mobile services by up to 31%.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> #2- Oil Ministry eyes higher Israeli gas imports: <\/strong>The Oil Ministry plans to increase gas imports from Israel by 17%, with daily inflows expected to rise by 170 mn cubic feet per day starting in January 2025, an unnamed government official told Al Arabiya<\/a>.

WEATHER- <\/strong>Cool weather continues in Cairo today, with a high of 20\u00b0C and a low of 11\u00b0C, according to our favorite weather app. The Egyptian Meteorological Authority<\/a> is expecting heavy dusty winds to hit various areas of the country including Greater Cairo and Alexandria.<\/p>\n

HAPPENING TOMORROW- <\/p>\n

The MPC\u2019s final meeting of the year:<\/strong> The Central Bank of Egypt\u2019s Monetary Policy Committee will meet tomorrow to review interest rates. The committee has left rates unchanged for five consecutive meetings this year, since the committee delivered a 600 bps rate hike following a surprise monetary policy meeting in March in conjunction with the float of the EGP and a larger loan package from the IMF being approved soon after.<\/p>\n

The polls are in:<\/strong> The MPC is expected to leave interest rates unchanged amid ongoing price volatility, mixed signals in inflationary trends, and the depreciation of the EGP against the greenback, according to our poll of ten analysts and economists<\/a>.<\/p>\n

EGP WATCH- <\/p>\n

We can expect the USD to trade between EGP 48-52 through 1Q 2025<\/strong>, CFI Financial research head Ahmed Nashy told Al Arabiya<\/a>, adding that the EGP\u2019s recent decline<\/a> against the USD was driven by the greenback\u2019s strength globally alongside liquidity shortages in the Egyptian market.<\/p>\n

Other forecasts suggest further declines in the EGP\u2019s value could be on the table: <\/strong>Fitch Solutions forecasts the USD to trade between EGP 50-55 in 2025, driven by factors such as the USD\u2019s strength and Egypt\u2019s external debt obligations, Fitch Solutions' director of MENA country risk Ramona Moubarak told Asharq Business<\/a>. <\/p>\n

PLUS- Rate cuts unlikely before 2H 2025: <\/strong>Nashy sees the central bank holding interest rates steady throughout 1H 2025 \u2014 in contrast to the majority of analysts we polled<\/a> earlier this week, who expect the CBE\u2019s cutting cycle to begin in the first half of the year.<\/p>\n

REMITTANCES- <\/p>\n

Remittances from Egyptians abroad hit <\/strong>USD 23.7 bn in the first ten months of 2024<\/strong>, up 45.3% y-o-y, according to a statement (pdf)<\/a>. Monthly inflows jumped 68.4% y-o-y to USD 2.9 bn in October, while the July-October period saw an 80% y-o-y rise to USD 11.2 bn. <\/p>\n

<\/a> SPEAKING OF SENDING MONEY FROM ABROAD-<\/strong> The Central Bank of Egypt has launched a new service allowing instant fund transfers to Egypt from anywhere in the world, according to a promotional video (watch, runtime: 1:15<\/a>). Users can initiate transfers via international agents, service providers, or their mobile apps by entering transfer details. Funds can be sent to bank accounts, bank cards, or e-wallets, with InstaPay recipients receiving instant notifications once the money arrives.<\/p>\n

The service is currently accessible through select banks and currency exchange offices<\/strong> in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain, with plans to expand to more countries soon.<\/p>\n
