Business and econ finally got a brief look-in on the airwaves last night after more than a week of pure politics.

President Abdel Fattah El Sisi is in London today for the UK-Africa Investment Summit, Al Hayah Al Youm’s Lobna Assal said (watch, runtime: 1:59). Min Masr’s Amr Khalil interviewed Michael Osu, the co-founder of Capital Markets in Africa, who said that the conference will bring together experts from across the world to discuss investment prospects (watch, runtime: 11:41). El Hekaya’s Amr Adib also took note of the event (watch, runtime: 2:06).

The EGP’s recent appreciation against the greenback got some love from El Hekaya’s Amr Adib, who phoned National Bank of Egypt VP Yahya Aboul Fotouh, who said the EGP is strengthening on the back of foreign inflows into Egyptian portfolio investments (watch, runtime: 3:21).

Other than that, politics again took center stage: Al Kahera Alaan’s Lamees El Hadidi covered yesterday’s Libya peace conference in Berlin, which saw agreement among world powers to abide by the UN arms embargo, ban weapons shipments and end foreign interference in the country’s civil war (watch, runtime: 2:48). El Hadidi phoned a Berlin-based Al Hadath reporter who said that the parties agreed to disarm the militant groups and monitor the ceasefire, but that there is yet to be any detailed plan (watch, runtime: 6:12). We have more on the conference in this morning’s Speed Round, below.

The president’s meeting with Pompeo got a mention: Al Hayah Al Youm’s Lobna Assal mentioned President Abdel Fattah El Sisi's meeting with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on the sidelines of the conference (watch, runtime: 3:20). Assal said the two discussed ways to solve the Libyan conflict, but made no mention of Pompeo’s comments on the death of US citizen Mostafa Kassem (more on that in this morning’s Egypt in the News, below).

Our gas hub is bigger than your gas hub: El Hadidi phoned head of the Egyptian Center for Strategic Studies Khaled Okasha, who took offence to a tweet posted by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu which claimed Israel was now a “world power exporter.” Okasha suggested that Netanyahu was implicitly claiming regional gas hub status as an electioneering strategy and insisted that he was exaggerating Israel’s power as an energy exporter (watch, runtime: 9:03).
