Tarek Amer is Enterprise’s 2016 Newsmaker of the Year

If you didn’t have time yesterday (or missed it in your inbox), read our exclusive interview with Central Bank of Egypt Governor Tarek Amer, released yesterday as we named Amer our 2016 Newsmaker of the Year. We promise you it will give you a view on the man — and the decision to float the pound — that you haven’t had before. It’s also a chance to try to read between the lines and see what’s in store for us in 2017.

And a quick reminder: Sunday is a national holiday. So, if you’ve inadvertently scheduled meetings (as a couple of us had done), now is a good time to cancel them. There will be no Enterprise on Sunday, but we’ll be back in your inbox before 6:15am on Monday. Have a fantastic long weekend, everyone.

Random observation of the weekend: There is no more perfect morning than a morning spent with family in a nice bistro, on a bright, sunny, breezy December day at the start of a long weekend. Just saying.
