WATCH THIS SPACE- <\/p>\n

<\/a> The state is work<\/strong>ing to liberalize the country\u2019s electricity market by 2026<\/strong>, along with restructuring the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) and its separation from the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC), a government source told EnterpriseAM. <\/p>\n

We could hear some developments about the many times delayed EETC-EEHC split soon<\/strong>, with the EEHC subsidiary\u2019s general assembly set to hold a meeting today chaired by Electricity Minister Mahmoud Esmat to discuss and vote on its restructuring, its separation from its parent company, and to choose a consultant for the restructuring, our source told us.<\/p>\n

Liberalizing the country\u2019s electricity market has been on the government\u2019s agenda <\/strong>since at least the 2015 <\/strong>Electricity Act<\/strong>, which gave the state\u2019s electricity companies eight years to complete the transition to market regulators by 2023 and proposed separating power generation from transmission and distribution to boost private sector participation. This was extended another two years<\/a> to 2025 back in 2020 \u2014 and now appears to be working toward a 2026 deadline instead.<\/p>\n

FROM THE DEBT MARKETS-<\/p>\n

<\/a> Investors asked for y<\/strong>ields<\/strong> up 3 and 5 percentage points on previous auctions for 6- and <\/strong>12-month t-bills yesterday<\/strong>, despite the Central Bank of Egypt\u2019s recent 225 bps interest rate cut<\/a>, according to data from the lender\u2019s website<\/a>. Some bids offered yields of up to 30.0% for the two offerings, pushing the bank to sell just EGP 53.3 bn worth of bills at , falling short of its EGP 75.0 bn target.<\/p>\n

A government source <\/strong>told EnterpriseAM <\/strong>that the sharp yields reflect ongoing <\/strong>geopolitical tensions,<\/strong> despite an uptick in foreign investment inflows into Egypt\u2019s debt instruments following the rate cut. Yields could continue to show volatility in the coming period, the source added.<\/p>\n

AND IN OTHER DEBT NEWS- <\/strong>The central bank will issue USD 950 mn in one-year <\/strong>treasury <\/strong>bills today<\/strong> to refinance an outstanding debt of the same amount.<\/p>\n

<\/a> #1- A Morocca<\/strong>n trade delegation representing 20 companies will be in town between 3-5 <\/strong>May <\/strong>to promote Moroccan-made goods, according to a statement<\/a> from the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises. The mission will also take part in the Moroccan-Egyptian Business Forum, which will focus on connecting Egyptian importers and Moroccan exporters.<\/p>\n

The visit follows a recent flare-up in trade tensions<\/strong> that spurred on efforts to rebalance the lopsided trade relationship<\/a> between the two countries in favor of Egypt. Tensions reached a boiling point after Morocco introduced restrictions in February that held up some 150 containers<\/a> of Egyptian goods in Moroccan ports. Investment Minister Hassan El Khatib was soon dispatched to Rabat and agreed with his Moroccan counterpart to establish a \u201cdirect line of communication\u201d to address any trade issues that arise, the fast-tracking of Moroccan exports into Egypt, and increasing efforts to promote Egyptian imports of Moroccan-made goods \u2014 especially for automobiles.<\/p>\n

Egyptian exports to Morocco reached some USD 1 bn last year, while Egypt imported <\/strong>less than USD 50 mn worth of goods from Morocco<\/strong>, according to data from the state statistics agency Capmas seen by EnterpriseAM. Morocco is keen to up its exports to Egypt \u2014 and fast \u2014 with a target to grow its exports to Egypt to USD 500 mn by next year, Moroccan Confederation of Exporters head Hassan Sentissi told Asharq Business<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n

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

It\u2019s a quiet day in the global business press, as is typical of Monday mornings<\/strong> \u2014 but the foreign press is filled with news of attacks in different corners of the world. <\/p>\n

In Vancouver, a car drove into a crowd celebrating Lapu Lapu day, a Filipino festival, at a neighborhood street party<\/strong>, killing 11 people and injuring several others. (Reuters<\/a> | Guardian<\/a> | FT<\/a>) <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Israel launched an airstrike in a southern suburb of Beirut<\/strong>, jeopardizing a ceasefire that has held since November after claiming it was targeting an area that is a stronghold for Hezbollah, where Israeli officials said they were storing precision missiles. No casualties were reported. (Guardian<\/a> | New York Times<\/a> | AP<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Over in Iran, the blast at the country\u2019s biggest port, Bandar Abbas, has so far killed 40 people<\/strong>, while more than 1.2k people are injured. Iran\u2019s Defense Ministry has denied international media reports claiming that the blast could be linked to the mishandling of solid fuel used for missiles, though most reports say chemicals at the port were the suspected cause of the explosion.
