We’re below EGP 16 to the greenback: The EGP has strengthened to a three-month high with the central bank reporting that banks were buying greenbacks at an average rate of EGP 15.7576 per USD 1 yesterday. Bankers told Reuters the strengthening of the EGP owes in large part of a drop in demand for the greenback on the part of importers. “Importers have a pile up of goods. When the prices rose after the float, people’s purchasing power declined and sales in most [imported] goods slowed down and with it their demand for [USD] to import more goods slowed as well,” one banker told the newswire.

The ad we can’t get out of our heads this morning: What will they say about you, by Nike Middle East (runtime: 1:10). A must watch for girls and boys alike, says our resident nine-year-old as she eyes her skateboard.

Except for the fact that you watch two episodes one night a week ago and wake up at 3am today with the bloody song in your head. Explain that, please, God. There’s the 45-second version that ran over the opening credits — or the “full” version if you’re brave enough.
