WHAT WE’RE TRACKING TODAY

The World Economic Forum’s annual meeting gets underway today in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, The homepage for the meeting is here, and the WEF is apparently going to be a “thing” in Egypt this year given President Abdelfattah El-Sisi is attending. The president’s departure for Davos is featured prominently in the financial press this morning, and Al-Ahram is gearing up with general coverage of the event as lead item on its homepage.

LAST NIGHT’S TALK SHOWS

Two issues featured prominently on last night’s talk shows: Events in Yemen and President Abdelfattah El-Sisi’s speech in honor of Police Day (25 January).

Khaled Abu Bakr, who held down the fort at Al Kahera Al Yawm last night in the absence of Amr Adeeb, told viewers to count their blessings for the stability in Egypt as he reported on the escalating tension in Yemen.

“If we didn’t have the army to stand by us, we would have experienced a similar situation. Egypt is indeed blessed,” said Abu Bakr.

Ibrahim Eissa agrees. “The events that we are witnessing in Yemen are proof that the Arab Spring has turned into Khamaseen. We cannot lose sight of what is happening around us in Yemen, Libya, Gaza and Syria. There are fires raging all around us posing a very serious threat to our security.”

Abu Bakr and Eissa both chose to analyze El Sisi’s Police Day speech. Eissa, who has been previously critical of some of the President’s speeches, had nothing but praise for this one.

“Calling up the children of the martyred police officers on stage and addressing them by name was an excellent move that was carried out in a very sincere manner,” said Eissa. “I’m generally not in favor of the father figure role for the President, but on this particular occasion I felt that it was very appropriate.”

[The AP, AFP and VOA all have English-language recaps of the speech. Only AFP’s piece takes note of the president’s line “…is it possible that there will be no [human rights] violations? There will be violations. But do we approve them? No.”]

SPEED ROUND

CIB Chairman Hisham Ezz Al-Arab sat down with Bloomberg’s Mark Barton, Anna Edwards and Manus Cranny on “Countdown” to discuss Egypt’s economic outlook. Ezz Al-Arab stated that the main focus with recent rate cuts is to help get the economy going, and that further cuts may be witnessed in the months ahead if inflationary pressures remain low. He also stated that he fully expects to see subsidies cut over the next five years and that the upcoming Egypt Economic Development Conference in Sharm would help lay out Egypt’s economic vision.

The EGP weakened again at the Central Bank of Egypt’s currency auction, this time to 7.29 per dollar, Reuters reports. Al-Mal, meanwhile, continues to try to make sense of it all, with EFG Hermes Head of Research Wael Ziada doing the lion’s share of the work in a piece explaining that the devaluation shouldn’t mean we’re facing an inflation-fuelled apocalypse. Pharos’ Hani Genena joins Ziada for the poll of analysts. In rather creepier news, the CBE has reportedly ordered banks to report as of today anyone depositing more than USD 100,000 in a day or holding deposits for more than USD 1 mn at the end of each month. Oh, and if you were thinking you could expense the difference between the parallel and official rates in your books? The kind people at the Tax Authority are reminding you that’s a no-no.

“Egypt to ‘rebuild pyramids’ as Sisi plots economic revival” is the (apparently confusing to some Telegraph readers) headline atop an interview between Investment Minister Ashraf Salman and the Telegraph’s commodities editor. Salman hits the expected highlights in an entirely positive story: “Egypt is plotting a construction binge not seen since the Pyramids of Giza were erected with billions of dollars to be channeled into new power plants and expanding the Suez Canal as President Abdulfattah el-Sisi finally looks to modernize the economy after gaining power last summer.” Salman plugs the Sharm investment summit, the Telegraph’s late-February Middle East conference, the USD 1.5 bn eurobond, and debt repayment to BG, but the crux of the piece is his emphasis on energy and infrastructure, including plans to double generation capacity over the next decade, the introduction of coal-fired and renewable energy generation, and the New Suez Canal.

EGYPT IN THE NEWS

Amnesty International released a report today on the state of women’s rights in Egypt titled ‘Circles of Hell: Public and state violence against women in Egypt’ (Find the pdf here) The report is already receiving media coverage; it appears the release was sent under embargo to newswires in advance, as the Reuters pickupof the report was available online shortly before the report release itself.

The New York Times’ David Kirkpatrick writes about the deteriorating medical condition of Mohamed Soltan, son of jailed Brotherhood member Salah Soltan, in ‘Photos Show American Held in Egypt Badly Bruised and Ill.’. Mohamed Soltan has been on hunger strike for the past year, and the recent photograph mentioned but not shown in the NYT piece (but which is available here) shows an emaciated Soltan with dried blood stains on his pillow. Kirkpatrick notes: “Mr. Soltan is not a member or supporter of the Brotherhood, but he is the son of a prominent figure in the group. He also volunteered as a translator for journalists covering an Islamist sit-in against the ouster of Mr. Morsi, saying he opposed the takeover as undemocratic but did not support Mr. Morsi.” The news has been picked up in international Ikhwan press outlets Middle East Monitor and Al Jazeera America.

More coverage from UAE energy conference: Bloomberg picked up President Abdelfattah El-Sisi’s remarks at the gathering in Abu Dhabi earlier this week, noting that “Egypt Plans Wind, Solar Plants With Aim as Trading Hub.” Gulf News, meanwhile, notes that Egypt has joined the UAE as the driving force behind the development of the renewable energy sector in the region.

ENERGY, RENEWABLE ENERGY & SUBSIDY REFORM

NREA will tender for 250 MW wind power, France’s EDF may be interested
The National | 20 Jan 2015
National Renewable Energy Association (NREA) chairman Mohamed El-Sobki said yesterday in the UAE that Egypt is preparing a tender for 250 MW of wind energy. The announcement, the paper notes, comes immediately after President Abdelfattah El-Sisi noted that wind will account for 2 GW of the 4.3 GW of renewable energy projects the government is looking to develop. The story quotes EDF’s vice-president for business development in MENA as saying that “Egypt is a great country of interest for us for both solar and wind. For wind, we are looking at where to come and develop, but we’re still at the early stages.” EDF is pre-qualified for solar projects in Egypt and, like Access Power MEA (also quoted in the story), it is more bullish on solar than wind power projects here.

No expensing black-market FX premium; tax proceeds up 35% y-o-y so far this year
Al Mal, Al-Borsa | 20 Jan 2015
Additional costs incurred to acquire foreign currencies on the black market are not tax deductible, the Tax Authority tells Al-Mal. All expenses, except for an allowed 7%, should be documented officially or else they cannot be used to reduce the payable tax – a requirement that is naturally unavailable for black market FX transactions. Producers are becoming increasingly concerned about this and believe that their currency expenses could exceed the allowed 7% vastly. A representative of KPMG is suggesting that the Tax Authority acknowledge the black market rate, while another at PwC believes that they should create an index of market FX rates to account for the real cost. Meanwhile, Tax Authority head Mostafa Abdel Kader says tax proceeds are up by 35% compared to last year, amounting to EGP 103 bn, Al-Mal reports. (Read in Al-Mal or in Al-Borsa)
