What we’re tracking this week

AmCham is hosting an investment conference on Tuesday, 28 March with a keynote address from Investment Minister Sahar Nasr and panels on investing in consumer sectors, private equity and real estate. The very bright Ahmed Kouchouk, deputy minister of finance, is also due to speak. The event runs 9am-4pm at the Cairo Marriott. Non-members can register here.

We’re looking forward to the Egyptian Private Equity Association’s seminar on “first-time SME equity fund managers in Egypt.” Panelists include EPEA President Abdalla ElEbiary, Karsten Sinner from EBRD, Monty Palmer from USAID’s SEED program, and local SME funds Ezdehar, Tanmiya Capital Ventures and LimeVest. The event runs 9:30am-1:30pm on Wednesday, 29 March at the Cairo Marriott. RSVP to dalia.tadros@epea-eg.org. You can find additional details here.

** PSA: the EPEA event is Wednesday, 29 March. We goofed on the date last Thursday — our apologies for the confusion.

The Central Bank of Egypt’s Monetary Policy Committee is scheduled to meet on Thursday to review rates.
