What we’re tracking this week

A delegation from Poland’s Pomeranian Special Economic Zone (PSEZ) will be in Egypt for a four-day visit to discuss establishing an industrial zone in the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone), Al Shorouk reports. Delegation members are set to meet with Trade and Industry Minister Tarek Kabil and Suez Canal Economic Zone chairman Mohab Mamish. The SCZone had signed an MoU with the PSEZ in February to build the zone. Separately, a delegation of 250 Polish businessmen is set to accompany Polish President Andrzej Duda during his visit to Egypt during the second half of 2017, we had noted.

Private mobile network operators might be getting their letters this week to launch commercial 4G service operations, sources tell Al Mal. MNOs received their 4G frequencies last month and are meant to run trial operations until next month while they geographically redistribute 2G and 3G frequencies.
