What we’re tracking this week

New UN secretary general to visit El Sisi: Newly-appointed UN Secretary General António Guterres (the former prime minister of Portugal and former UN refugee boss), will be visiting Egypt, Qatar, Oman and the UAE as part of his Middle East tour, Reuters reports. He was in KSA yesterday, and we can’t for the life of us find a reference to when he’s expected in Egypt: The UNSG’s appointments page simply notes that from 9-20 February, Guterres is in the Middle East and is then due to hit a G20 ministerial summit in Bonn. It appears from the schedule that Egypt is the final stop on the Middle East leg.

The Central Bank of Egypt’s Monetary Policy Committee will meet this Thursday (16 February) to review rates. Pharos Holding said in a research note yesterday it expects the CBE to leave rates on hold.

The Egypt Petroleum Show Egyps 2017 will take place on Tuesday, 14 February at the Cairo International Convention Center, Nasr City.
