Good morning, friends.<\/strong> We have a brisk issue for you this Monday morning led by the latest on our oil output, which hit a four-decade low last quarter with production falling to 513k bbl\/d. We also have updates on the country\u2019s first digital bank \u2014 it plans to launch services to the public next year after receiving the final green light from the CBE in a move that would accelerate our transition toward a digital economy.<\/p>\n

AND- <\/strong>The earnings season is in full swing, with more companies reporting their quarterly results. <\/p>\n

PSA- <\/p>\n

WEATHER- <\/strong>Cairo is in for another sunny day today, with a high of 35\u00b0C and a low of 26\u00b0C, according to our favorite weather app.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s more or less the same in Alexandria<\/strong>, which is looking at a high of 34\u00b0C and a low of 23\u00b0C.<\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE- <\/p>\n

<\/a> Credit default swaps (CDS) for Egypt\u2019s five-year debt have fallen to their <\/strong>lowest level in almost four years<\/strong>, reaching 438 basis points, according to data seen by EnterpriseAM. Historically, the cost of insuring our sovereign debt has ranged between 257 and 325 basis points. However, it began to jump significantly, first in 2016 and then again in 2022 due to global geopolitical tensions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are now just 1.3% shy of the the historical average of around 300 basis points<\/strong>, despite a number of challenges \u2014 including the closure of the Bab El Mandab strait, weak natural gas production, and a delayed fifth review [form the IMF],\u201d Ahly Pharos Head of Research Hany Genena wrote on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n

EGX WATCH- <\/p>\n

<\/a> Capital Med\u2019s EGX debut is almost here:<\/strong> Badr City\u2019s medical city Capital Med is planning to list a stake on the EGX before the end of 3Q 2025 raising as much as EGP 2 bn, sources told Al Borsa<\/a>. Proceeds from the listing will help finance the second phase of the medical complex, which is estimated to cost some EGP 3-5 bn. Al Ahly Pharos will manage and promote the offering. <\/p>\n

We knew this was coming: <\/strong>Capital Med said in February<\/a> that it will make its EGX debut through a direct listing in 1H 2025, then move forward with a capital increase to fund the construction of the new phase of the medical city. <\/p>\n

DATA POINT-<\/p>\n

<\/a> The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) revised upward its projected external debt <\/strong>service payment plan for 2026 to USD 27.87 bn<\/strong>, marking an increase of around USD 1.9 bn from its previous estimate of 25.97 bn, according to CBE data seen by EnterpriseAM. Loan installments for the year were also revised up to around USD 22.72 bn, compared to 21.1 bn in a previous estimate. Meanwhile, total interest payments for the year now stand at USD 5.15 bn, up from a previous projection of USD 4.87 bn.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- <\/strong>The Finance Ministry's plans to issue<\/a> up to USD 4 bn in international bonds over the next 12 months to help address its USD 11 bn external financing gap. The planned issuances could include EUR- and USD-denominated securities, sustainability bonds, sukuk, and CNY- or JPY-denominated instruments.<\/p>\n

ICYMI- Missed this week\u2019s Inside Industry? <\/strong>In our weekly vertical exploring all things industry and manufacturing, we looked at the Electricity Ministry\u2019s Industrial Energy Efficiency and Conservation Framework launched earlier this month to help factories reduce electricity consumption and operational costs. You can check out the story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

There\u2019s no single story leading the conversation in the international business press this<\/strong> morning<\/strong>, but the global business community pushing ahead with \u201creturn to office\u201d orders can be seen in a handful of stories on JPMorgan Chase preparing to move into headquarters in New York and London. The bank is \u201cstepping up planning\u201d for a new tower in London as it begins to outgrow its current headquarters as it expands in the UK, while across the pond in Manhattan its new USD 3 bn Midtown tower is expected to be ready for move-in in October. The Wall Street Journal<\/a> and the Financial Times<\/a> have more. <\/p>\n

ALSO- Air Canada delayed restarting its operations, after striking flight attendants<\/strong> refused to obey a government order<\/strong> on a labor dispute between the flight attendants and the airline. The flight attendants \u2014 who went on strike over the weekend over pay issues \u2014 and the Canadian Union of Public Employees are pushing the airline to \u201cnegotiate a fair [agreement]\u201d to settle the dispute. The airline intends to resume flying this evening. (Wall Street Journal<\/a> | Reuters<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the disjointed conversations over ending the Russia-Ukraine war are still<\/strong> getting plenty of ink<\/strong> across digital front pages, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is due to meet with Donald Trump in Washington later today. Zelensky \u2014 who insists his country will not cede more territory to Russia \u2014 will be accompanied by the NATO secretary general and several other European leaders.
