Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. <\/strong>We kick off the week with a brisk issue as it looks like we are approaching the end-of-year news slowdown in local business news. We lead the news well with the details of what went down during meetings between the IMF and cabinet members and a new financing initiative from the Madbouly government, this time targeting startups. <\/p>\n

PSA- <\/p>\n

WEATHER- <\/strong>It\u2019s another cool day in Cairo, which is in for a high of 20\u00b0C and a low of 12\u00b0C, according to our favorite weather app.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just as cool in Alexandria<\/strong>, with a high of 20\u00b0C and a low of 12\u00b0C.<\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE- <\/p>\n

<\/a> #1- IMF mission meets with Al Mashat, El Khatib: <\/strong>It was a busy Saturday for the IMF mission currently in Egypt as part of the latest round of reviews for our USD 8 bn loan program, with the mission meeting Planning Minister Rania Al Mashat<\/a> and Investment Minister Hassan El Khatib<\/a> to review progress on Egypt\u2019s ongoing economic and structural reform program. <\/p>\n

Al Mashat showcased Egypt\u2019s shift toward an investment- and export-led growth model<\/strong>, highlighting the 5.3% growth<\/a> seen in the first quarter of FY 2025-2026, driven by stronger industrial output. She also presented the Public Investment Governance Report, emphasizing that adhering to the EGP 1 tn investment ceiling last year created space for more private-sector investment. Discussions also touched on progress on the State Ownership Policy and steps to operationalize the State-Owned Enterprises Unit.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, El Khatib discussed ongoing financial, institutional, and trade reforms<\/strong>, stressing that the government is pursuing a disciplined reform approach to maintain macroeconomic stability, expand private sector participation, and improve the investment climate. During the meeting, the IMF mission praised the progress made in both investment and trade, describing Egypt\u2019s reform trajectory as clear, consistent, and conducive to building investor confidence and attracting valuable investments. <\/p>\n

REMEMBER- <\/strong>A delegation from the Fund is in town<\/a> to carry out the combined fifth and sixth reviews of the country\u2019s USD 8 bn extended fund facility program. <\/p>\n

\n

\n

#2- The National Investment Bank\u2019s partial divestment from Egytrans may be the <\/strong>first <\/strong>of many moves to restructure its over <\/strong>EGP 400 bn of a<\/strong>ssets<\/strong>, Planning and International Cooperation Minister Rania Al Mashat said, according to a statement<\/a>. Her comments came at the opening bell for Egytrans\u2019 first day of trading following its merger with Nosco<\/a> \u2014 the bank reduced its share in the local logistics player from 25.5% to 18.3%.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- The Planning Ministry-owned bank controlled some 85 companies as of the <\/strong>end of August <\/strong>out of a total 561 companies owned by the state, according to a government document seen by EnterpriseAM<\/a>. The bank and other state entities are preparing for a wave of IPOs and uptick in privatization efforts to raise USD 3 bn this fiscal year, down from an earlier USD 5-6 bn target, as they work to deepen the local capital market, attract fresh flows into equities, and signal seriousness to international partners, including the IMF.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

<\/a> #3- The shipping industry\u2019s return to the Suez Canal is still TBD \u2014 and any return will be <\/strong>gradual<\/strong>, Hapag-Lloyd CEO Rolf Habben Jansen said in an online call with customers, Reuters<\/a> reports. Despite the Houthis committing to stop their attack on passing vessels following October\u2019s Gaza ceasefire agreement, the shipping line is still closely monitoring the security situation before deciding to properly return to the canal, he said.<\/p>\n

But when a date is set, don\u2019t expect vessels to come streaming back immediately<\/strong>, with a 60-90-day transition period planned to reduce any congestion issues and give time to logistics operators to prepare. <\/p>\n

ON THE DIPLOMATIC FRONT-<\/p>\n

Egypt and others called out Israel\u2019s plan to open the Rafah Crossing in only one <\/strong>direction as an attempt to \u201cexpel the Palestinian people from their land,\u201d <\/strong>according to a joint statement<\/a> from the foreign ministers of Egypt, Jordan, UAE, Pakistan, Indonesia, Turkey, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. The joint statement followed the Israeli military\u2019s Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories announcing last week<\/a> that the Rafah Crossing would open \u201cexclusively for the exit of residents from the Gaza Strip to Egypt.\u201d<\/p>\n

But how to exercise pressure on Israel? The \u201cTrump Plan\u201d and the man behind it: <\/strong>The statement painted the decision to open the crossing in only one way as running counter to and obstructing US President Donald Trump\u2019s push to end the war that resulted in the Sharm El Sheikh Peace Summit<\/a>. For good measure, those signing the joint statement also \u201creiterate[d] their appreciation for President Trump\u2019s commitment to establishing peace in the region\u201d \u2014 an achievement that Israel looks to be threatening.<\/p>\n

The opening of the crossing for traffic both ways is supposed to take place once all living <\/strong>and dead hostages are returned to Israel<\/strong>, which Hamas and other groups are close to achieving, with only one body remaining. But following the handover of the last body, the Trump-led plan to end the war will enter a new and more unpredictable phase that many worry will see Israel fully restart operations with domestic pressure to return hostages no longer weighing on the government. Even with the purported ceasefire, Israel has killed more than 250 Palestinians since the agreement came into effect in October, including two children a day, according to Unicef<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

It\u2019s relatively calm in the foreign press this morning<\/strong> \u2014 among the stories making headlines: <\/p>\n

#1- Netflix will acquire Warner Bros Discovery in a USD 72 bn agreement<\/strong>, which would give it control of Warner\u2019s portfolio, including HBO and major franchises like Harry Potter and Batman. Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav is expected to remain in charge of the studio under Netflix's ownership. Regulators are expected to scrutinize the merger over antitrust issues, but if approved, it would expand Netflix\u2019s influence across film, television, and streaming. (Financial Times<\/a> | New York Times<\/a> | CNN<\/a> | Reuters<\/a> | BBC<\/a> | Bloomberg<\/a>)<\/p>\n

#2- Australia kicks off the world\u2019s first social media ban: <\/strong>Australia is rolling out the world\u2019s first social media ban for anyone under 16 years of age, with Meta already deactivating hundreds of thousands of teen accounts on Instagram, Facebook, and Threads ahead of the 10 December deadline. The ban will make it illegal for anyone under 16 years old to hold accounts on major platforms, including TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, Reddit, and X, with companies facing fines of up to AUD 49.5 mn (c. USD 33 mn) if they fail to comply. (BBC<\/a> | Reuters<\/a> | Guardian<\/a> | Washington Post<\/a>) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
