CI Capital Compendium: Egypt in 2016 | At a crossroads

Currency pressures augmenting. Socio-politics played a role in preventing USD:EGP devaluation in 2015. While this may hold in 2016 too, fundamental pressures are augmenting as a result of monetary imbalances, diminishing FX resources, and slow fiscal consolidation. We present our macro thesis and stock propositions for Egypt assuming USD:EGP devaluation to 9.5 in 2016 (8.6 year-average), 11% ahead of prevailing parallel rates and our prior estimate.
