Good morning \u2014 <\/strong>but more importantly, kul sana wento taybeen.<\/strong> Kicking off today\u2019s issue is news that the Finance Ministry is readying a 49-reform tax package aimed at boosting the tax-to-GDP ratio to 16%.<\/p>\n

Also catching our attention this morning is banks officially beginning carbon mapping<\/strong> under CBE orders <\/strong>to tie future lending to climate compliance, a move essential for exporters to survive the EU\u2019s looming carbon barriers. Meanwhile, the state is successfully de-risking infrastructure debt by tapping China Exim Bank for a CNY-denominated loan for the LRT and DPI, and Alameda finalized the sector's largest-ever private equity transaction, providing the war chest for a regional expansion into the Gulf.<\/p>\n

Our first issue this Ramadan also features the first in a special series of holy-month-themed <\/strong>My Morning Routines. <\/strong>We\u2019re catching up with Red Bull Egypt General Manager Hesham Sewilam to see how the man behind the energy drink keeps his own wings flapping during the fast.<\/p>\n

So, when do we eat?<\/strong> Maghrib prayers are at 5:47pm in the capital, and you\u2019ll have until 5:03am tomorrow to hydrate and caffeinate ahead of fajr.<\/p>\n

<\/a> ENERGY \u2014 T<\/strong>his year will see the largest gas<\/strong> well-drilling <\/strong>program ever conducted <\/strong>in the <\/strong>Mediterranean<\/strong>, executed in partnership with international oil companies, according to a statement<\/a> from the Oil Ministry. Record drilling is already underway across multiple production areas to test new gas reservoirs, according to the statement, including Shell\u2019s West Mina gas field, which produces 160 mmcf\/d.<\/p>\n

Why this matters:<\/strong> Upstream activity is now the fastest lever the state has to stabilize supply, reduce the import bill, and lock in medium-term production. Against the backdrop of international energy players warning<\/a> that old contracts don\u2019t add up, the Oil Ministry started tightening the screws on upstream timelines, with a new use-it-or-lose-it<\/a> contracting framework set to streamline approvals and push domestic output.<\/p>\n

PORTS <\/strong>\u2014 Egypt\u2019s ports and customs outlets will operate all year round, <\/strong>including on official holidays<\/strong>, as part of efforts to reduce total customs clearance time to just two days, according to a statement<\/a> from the Finance and Investment Ministries. The move aims to significantly lower storage costs and increase inventory turnover for manufacturers. Ports and customs outlets will only take breaks on a total of four days, coinciding with Eid El Fitr and Eid El Adha.<\/p>\n

About to jump on a flight in or out of Egypt? You\u2019ll still need to remember to bring a pen <\/strong>to fill out a landing card. Despite Civil Aviation Minister Sameh Elhefny announcing<\/a> early last month that the paper cards would be replaced by a digital system starting 1 February, several travelers have confirmed to EnterpriseAM that the old system is still in place.<\/p>\n

WEATHER- It\u2019s another coolish day in Cairo today<\/strong>, with a high of 21\u00b0C and a low of 12\u00b0C, according to our favorite weather app.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a tad cooler still in Alexandria<\/strong>, with a high of 20\u00b0C and a low of 11\u00b0C.<\/p>\n

The big story abroad <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t hold y<\/strong>our breath waiting for the Fed to continue its easing policy. <\/strong>Minutes<\/a> from the Federal Reserve's January meeting showed that policymakers anticipated \u201cslower and more uneven than generally expected\u201d progress toward its inflation target of 2%. That said, Fed members indicated that keeping rates steady would \u201clikely be appropriate [\u2026] for some time as the committee carefully assesses incoming data.\u201d<\/p>\n

The greenback was slightly <\/strong>elevated by the news<\/a><\/strong> in early trading<\/strong>, maintaining earlier gains against the JPY and the EUR.<\/p>\n

ALSO- Social media giant Meta is in hot water<\/strong> after its CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified in<\/a>court<\/a> that the company no longer seeks to maximize the time spent by users on its platforms and bars kids under 13 from logging on. The CEO\u2019s claims ran counter to internal emails and documents indicating otherwise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
