World Bank forecasts Egypt’s growth rate at 3.8%. World Bank has reduced
Egypt’s growth rate forecast in 2016 to 3.8% from an earlier forecast of 4.3%. The
economic growth will be pushed by the recovery in local demand as consumption
remains strong, but imports is still challenged by the scarcity of foreign exchange and
an overvalued pound. The country’s foreign currency reserves plunged from $36 billion
before January 2011 to $15.54 billion by the end of July 2016. Egypt's local debt reached
EGP 2.49 trillion by March 2016, while external debt stood at $53.4 billion by the third
quarter of FY2015-16. The World Bank also said that the rise in energy prices and the
new value added tax could plunge the inflation on the short run, leaving a negative
effect on low and middle income families. The CBE stated that the basic inflation rate
grew by 13.25% in August, while Egypt’s consumer price index (CPI) increased to
16.4% in August according to the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics

Egypt faces large financing needs – Moody's. Egypt's fiscal reform momentums
support its B3 rating and stable outlook amid the current serious economic challenges
like high unemployment rates, said Moody's Investor's Service, expecting economic
growth to be predominantly supported by public and private investments. Financial aids
from GCC countries have helped stabilize the international reserves and balance of
payments. The government's key credit weakness, Moody's noted, is its very large
government financing needs of more than 50% of GDP. The report highlighted that

Egypt's tourist arrivals slide 51.2% in 6 months. The number of tourists arrived
Egypt in the first six months of 2016 declined 51.2% year-on-year to 2.3 million from 4.8
million, said the Central Agency for Public Mobilizations and Statistics (CAPMAS) on
Monday. The state-run agency attributed this decline to lower visitors from Russia, United
Kingdom and Germany by 54.9%, 14.9% and 6.4% respectively after a number of
terrorist attacks on Egypt, including the crash of the Russian airplane in Sinai. Over 2015,
the number of arrivals fell to 9.3 million tourists, down 5.6% from 9.9 million tourists in
2014. The tourism sector, a vital part of the economy and a key source of hard currency,
was hard-hit by last year’s downing of a Russian airliner where 224 people onboard were

Egypt's insurance sector to flourish on gradual economic recovery. The
Egyptian insurance market is likely to witness strong premium and profit growth in the
coming 12-18 months. The sector's micro-insurance, medical, takaful and yet-to-be
enacted mutual guarantee premiums will be improved as well. However, the sector still
faces a number of serious challenges, including high sector concentration as the top six
players in the sector account for 69% of total premiums according to 2015 financials,
while the rest of the market is fragmented. The Egyptian insurance market is the second
largest in North Africa, a region that accounted for roughly 0.2% of global insurance
premiums in 2015. By the end of June 2015, gross premiums written (GPW) in Egypt
jumped 12.8% to EGP 15.5 billion, according to the latest available data from the EFSA.

Analysts sure of pound floating, disagree on timing. The Monetary Policy
Committee (MPC) of the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) will be meeting on 17 October
days after the anticipated decision regarding the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF)
loan to Egypt. Central Bank Governor Tarek Amer previously said in February that the
pound will not be floated until foreign reserves reach $25 to 30 million. The country’s
current foreign exchange reserve is $16.5 billion. Floating the pound depends on
agreeing the IMF loan and the finance from China and KSA. It is expected the CBE’s
MPC to hold an extraordinary meeting before 17 November to raise the interest by
between 150 to 200 points. According to Capital Economics, the Egyptian pound will
decline by 25% to the level of EGP 12 per dollar by the end of 2016, and EGP 13.5 by
the end of 2018. Source: Reuters
Growth concerns behind CBE decision to hold rates. The Central Bank of Egypt
surprisingly maintained key interest rates on its last MPC meeting against all
expectations of a hike in policy rates to ease inflation rate and create an attractive
spread between return on USD and EGP fixed income instruments, thus capturing
foreign fund inflows into the Egyptian market. Although research agencies built their
hike grounds on the soaring inflation rate, the CBE described the factors behind this
aggressive rate as “transitory cost-push factors,” including higher electricity bills and
the increased demand on food, rather than demand factors, which means that raising
rates would not have controlled inflation. Research firms believes the reason behind
this decision is the country's weakened GDP growth, as well as concerns over increasing
the debt service burden that currently stands at 30% of fiscal expenses. Source: Mubasher
