The two have since exchanged missiles and airstrikes over the weekend and show little signs of looking for an offramp, with Iran vowing revenge and Israel threatening even more devastating strikes to come and hitting at regime change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN FOR EGYPT- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Exchange rate, inflation, and monetary policy under pressure:<\/strong> HC Securities\u2019 Nemat Choucri told EnterpriseAM that escalations could lead to \u201csupply chain disruptions, which could negatively impact inflation and potentially disrupt the pace of Egypt\u2019s easing cycle.\u201d She added that \u201coil prices have increased, and Egypt\u2019s Oil Ministry announced that it will need to cut its natural gas supply to some industrial activities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What does the rise in oil prices mean for us? <\/strong>Banking expert Hany Abou El Fotouh warned that \u201cwith rising oil prices, the import bill is likely to increase, which could put pressure on the balance of payments in the short term.\u201d He also noted that while the EGP has held steady for now, \u201ccontinued tensions could prompt some foreign investors to hedge, which would increase local demand for USD.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We\u2019re trying to secure a strategic energy reserve:<\/strong> Egypt signed a natural gas import agreement over the weekend to build a six-month strategic reserve of petroleum products amid rising geopolitical risks. We have the full story in the news well below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>BY THE NUMBERS<\/strong><strong>- <\/strong>Brent crude jumped 7.0% on Friday to USD 74.23 a barrel, marking the largest intraday moves since 2022, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/china\/oil-prices-jump-more-than-4-after-israel-strikes-iran-2025-06-13\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a> reports. But despite the sudden rise, prices remain in the red y-o-y and well below their 2022 peaks reached a few years back after Russia launched its war on Ukraine. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But oil prices could rise further, with Israel now targeting Iranian energy sites: <\/strong>Israel expanded its focus to include Iran\u2019s energy infrastructure yesterday, with a strike on an Iranian natural gas processing facility in the South Pars gas field \u2014 the world\u2019s largest. Although the field\u2019s output is primarily for the domestic market, Israel\u2019s turn towards energy targets could add even more volatility to the international energy market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Basic commodity reserves should help the local market stocked and prices in check: <\/strong>The state\u2019s reserve of basic commodities exceeds six months, which should keep products on shelves and at reasonable prices, the Supply Ministry said in a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/msitgovegypt\/posts\/pfbid0QULYkBL2o1kvncxJBgvUi2Hs18x7GcmJXK425DSgfwxRwNrNNgDqZzWgdu4kH6UFl\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a>.

Economist Hany Genena similarly told EnterpriseAM that a \u201cpartial exit is likely, which is normal due to fears of FX instability.\u201d However, he dismissed the possibility of a full-blown exit similar to the 2022 hot money crisis, unless key inflows are severely disrupted. \u201cA complete exit is unlikely unless investors start to fear a full halt in tourism revenues, remittances, or other inflows \u2014 which seems highly improbable given that both tourism and capital flows held up during far more turbulent periods over the past two years,\u201d Genena told us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Hot money jitters are resurfacing: <\/strong>The current situation has reignited fears of foreign portfolio outflows from Egypt\u2019s local debt market, a government source added. Foreign investors had returned to EGP-denominated local debt last month following a sharp exit in April, supported by the central bank\u2019s easing cycle. The Finance Ministry\u2019s pivot toward longer debt maturities is expected to help mitigate exposure to hot money volatility.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A rethink of subsidy reform could be in the cards:<\/strong> One potential outcome of the regional escalations could be a shift in the government\u2019s fiscal strategy. Genena said the situation \u201ccould prompt Egypt to submit a request to the IMF to reconsider the current timetable for phasing out fuel and electricity subsidies.\u201d This sentiment was echoed by Abou El Fotouh, who warned that further increases in oil prices \u201ccould require a reassessment of some subsidy items or the pricing of petroleum products.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>No immediate impact on the Suez Canal but risks remain:<\/strong> While the Suez Canal has not seen disruptions so far, Abou El Fotouh cautioned that \u201cdisruptions in regional maritime security or significant rises in ins. costs could temporarily prompt shipping lines to reconsider their routes.\u201d This would derail efforts to bring back global shipping lines to the waterway.
