Fund Managers Commentary

The local bourse ended the last month of the year up 9.7%, bringing its 2013 gains to 24.2%. December gains were accentuated by a number of economic catalysts coupled with the announcement of the constitution referendum date (January 14-15, 2014), which is viewed as a key pillar in concluding the transitional roadmap. Nonetheless, reservations remain in place over achieving stability over the immediate short-term as political polarization continues to escalate. Violence spread across the nation including a deadly attack in the Nile Delta city, leading the interim government to officially designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group, giving the authorities power to charge any member of the group and/or finances it. On a positive note, Fitch Ratings revised Egypts Longterm foreign and local currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) to Stable from Negative and affirmed the IDRs at B-, in line with Standard & Poor's recent upgrade. On the economic spectrum, the government paid down c.USD1.0-1.5 billion to oil and gas foreign companies out of the USD6.3 billion outstanding amount. The government agreed to repay a further USD3.0 billion in monthly installments up to 2017 and is currently negotiating terms to repay the remaining amount. The move aims to reinstate confidence in the economy and to ensure higher local supply as well as increasing investments in the sector, which represents on average 60.0% of FDIs. Already the government officially approved eight oil and gas exploration agreements, collectively valued at USD2.1 billion. We view this as a positive move, specifically for the industrials sector, which continues to face subdued utilization rates. Meanwhile, the government continues to focus its efforts to revive the economy by officially announcing a second stimulus package valued at c.EGP20 billion, revised down from a previous estimate of EGP30 billion, bringing the total support package to roughly EGP50 billion. The second package will be financed via funds extended from oil-rich economies and will be slated towards public investments and to finance the increase in the minimum wage. In the FX market, on the other hand, the EGP weakened against the USD at the latest Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) auction. The CBE instructed banks to "strictly conform" to prevailing international market rates in trading non-USD foreign currencies so not to inflate the cross rates and hence reflect a higher embedded USD/EGP rate. We would like to inform our investors that Shield sealed yearly gain of 21.7% during 2013 and distributed EGP10.5 per certificate on January 8th, 2014.
