What we’re tracking on 10 September 2018

Enjoy your mid-week break. Tomorrow is officially off: The stock exchange and the central bank have announced they will close tomorrow in observance of Islamic new year after a Labor Ministry statement noting it would be a national holiday. Happy first day of 1440, y’all, and see you back here in your inboxes on Wednesday.

Oh, and it’s your last holiday until 20 November (the Prophet’s Birthday) so make the most out of it. Armed Forces Day, the traditional October holiday, falls on a Saturday this year and our wager is that we’re all heading to work on the Sunday instead of taking it as a replacement.

The EFG Hermes London conference, the fall’s top gathering of frontier and emerging markets fund managers, kicks off today at Emirates Arsenal Stadium. The conference website is here.

Egypt to sign agreement with USAID today: Investment Minister Sahar Nasr is expected to sign an unspecified agreement today with USAID Egypt Mission Director Sherry Carlin, according to a ministry statement (pdf).
