Central Bank of Egypt External Position of the Egyptian Economy July/December 2017/18 Volume No. (60)

Central Bank of Egypt External Position Preface The External Position of the Egyptian Economy Report is a series produced by the Economic Research Sector in the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE). The report tracks, on a quarterly basis, the international transactions that the Egyptian economy conducts with the rest of the world. It relies, for this purpose, on the national statistics that are regularly compiled in line with the SDDS prescriptions. Enthused by the CBE keenness to enhance its disclosure, transparency and communication policy, the Report is meant to serve several functions. Generally, it spreads, to a broad array of readers, knowledge of Egypt s external accounts including the balance of payments, external debt, international investment position and external liquidity. Particularly, it monitors key external sector performance indicators of the economy in order to identify areas of policy needs. The information revealed in this series has also significant implications for decision-making, investment climate, doing-business environment and sovereign credit ratings. The report contains 6 sections. The first section gives a performance portrait of the key components of Egypt's Balance of Payments (BOP). The second and third review developments related to the International Investment Position (IIP) and external liquidity. The fourth and fifth show Egypt's external debt in its different classifications and the exchange rate developments. The last section is a statistical part that provides more details on the above mentioned five sections. This is in addition to a glossary. The report is downloadable from CBE website www.cbe.org.eg Hard copies can be obtained from the Economic Research Sector, 8th floor, 54 El Gomhoreya Street, Cairo.

Central Bank of Egypt External Position Overview Aiming to place Egypt's external position on a more sustainable footing and encourage foreign investors back to the country, the CBE decided on 3 November 2016 to unpeg the Egyptian pound, allowing its value to float. Accordingly, bid and ask exchange rates would be determined by forces of demand and supply. By floating the pound, the Central Bank would eventually be able to fully dismantle FX restrictions, reducing disruptions to activity. Such a courageous move aims to quash the currency parallel market and attract the much-needed foreign capital. This Decision helped replenish international reserves through the official market. Egypt's transactions with the external world recorded an overall BOP surplus of about US$ 5.6 billion during the first half of FY 2017/2018 (against about US$ 7.0 billion in the corresponding period). The current account deficit narrowed by 64.0 percent to about US$ 3.4 billion (from about US$ 9.4 billion). The capital and financial account recorded a net inflow of about US$ 10.4 billion (against about US$ 18.7 billion). The decline in the current account deficit was mainly traceable to the following developments: the services surplus surged, recording about US$ 5.3 billion, net unrequited current transfers scaled up by 29.5 percent to about US$ 13.1 billion, the trade deficit narrowed by 1.4 percent to about US$ 18.7 billion, and the income balance ran a deficit of about US$ 3.0 billion. The capital and financial account revealed the following developments: the net inflows of FDI in Egypt registered about US$ 3.8 billion, portfolio investment in Egypt accelerated, registering a net inflow of US$ 8.0 billion, and other assets and liabilities achieved a net outflow of about US$ 5.7 billion. Egypt s International Investment Position (IIP) at end of December 2017 recorded net external liabilities (assets minus liabilities) of about US$ 139.6 billion, up by 6.6 percent compared to end of June 2017. Net International Reserves (NIR) increased by US$ 5.7 billion to reach US$ 37.0 billion, thus covering 7.2 months of merchandise imports at end of December 2017. The increase was a result of the rise of foreign currencies by about US$ 5.6 billion and of gold by US$ 0.1 billion. During the Report s preparation, NIR reached US$ 44.0 billion at end of April 2018. Banks net foreign assets increased by around US$ 0.03 billion during July/ December 2017/2018. Foreign currency deposits with banks decreased by 0.2 percent during the period concerned, reaching US$ 38.4 billion at end of December 2017. As a percentage of total deposits, they made up 24.3 percent. Total external debt increased by about 4.9 percent to about US$ 82.9 billion at end of December 2017, from US$ 79.0 billion at end of June 2017. The external debt remains within manageable limits, and its position continues to have a favorable structure, as 86.6 percent of the debt are medium- and long-term. The weighted average of the interbank foreign exchange market rate revealed that the Egyptian pound interbank rate depreciated by 2.0 percent during July/Dec. 2017/2018, as the EGP reached 17.7277 per US dollar at end of December 2017, against EGP 18.0911 per US dollar at end of June 2017.

E- Other assets and liabilities achieved a net outflow of about US$ 5.7 billion (against a net inflow of about US$ 7.1 billion). This came on the back of the decline in the net change in the liabilities of the CBE to the external world, to post a net external repayment of about US$ 3.1 billion in the reporting period (against a net disbursement of about US$ 8.1 billion).

Section IV External Debt

Central Bank of Egypt External Position 11 External Debt External debt increased by US$ 3.9 billion (4.9 percent), to post about US$ 82.9 billion at end of December 2017 (compared with about US$ 79.0 billion at end of June 2017). This increase came as a result of the rise in net disbursements of loans and facilities by US$ 2.9 billion, alongside the depreciation of most currencies of borrowing versus the US dollar by US$ 1.0 billion. A- Breakdown by Maturity By original maturity, external debt reaffirmed its usual pattern of longterm external debt predominance at end of Dec. 2017. Long-term external debt accounted for US$ 56.6 billion or 68.3 percent of the total, whereas medium-term external debt reached US$ 15.2 billion or 18.3 percent and shortterm external debt accounted for the smallest portion of US$ 11.1 billion or 13.4 percent. By residual maturity 1, medium- and long-term external debt decreased, as it represented 71.4 percent of the total debt. In comparison, they accounted for 86.6 percent of the total by original maturity. Meanwhile, short-term debt showed an increase, as it represented 28.6 percent, compared to 13.4 percent classified by original maturity. External Debt by Residual Maturity at end of Dec. 2017 (US$ million) 1. Short-term debt by original maturity 11128.4 2. Medium- & long-term debt maturing within one year 12588.7 3.

In other words, compilation of external debt statistics based on original maturity helps in understanding the nature of capital flows; while the remaining maturity provides a profile of debt service payments, especially those falling due in the near term, and of potential liquidity risks facing the economy. Short-term debt by residual maturity comprises all components of short-term debt with original maturity of up to one year, and the amounts falling due under medium- and longterm debt by original maturity within one year or less.

Central Bank of Egypt External Position 12 B- Breakdown by Type Medium- and long-term external debt accounted for 86.6 percent of total debt, of which: Rescheduled bilateral debt reached about US$ 4.1 billion or 4.9 percent of total debt. Other bilateral * debt amounted to about US$ 7.0 billion or 8.4 percent. Buyers' & Suppliers' credit reached about US$ 7.5 billion or 9.1 percent of total debt. International and regional organizations' debt reached about US$ 26.0 billion or 31.4 percent of total debt. Government bonds and notes reached about US$ 8.9 billion or 10.7 percent of total debt at end of Dec. 2017. These include: (i) US$ 1.0 billion of sovereign notes issued in April 2010 and falling due in 2020 & 2040, (ii) US$ 1.2 billion of the Global Medium-Term Notes (GMTN) issued in 2015 and falling due in June 2025; and (iii) US$ 6.7 billion of the Global Medium-Term Notes programme issued in 2017 and falling due in 2022, 2027 & 2047. Long-term deposits that have been placed at the CBE by some Arab countries posted US$ 17.9 billion (21.6 percent of total debt). Non-guaranteed medium- and long-term debt of the private sector registered US$ 406.5 million (about 0.5 percent of total debt). Short-term debt decreased by about US$ 1.1 billion to about US$ 11.1 billion or 13.4 percent of total debt. Rescheduled bilateral debt 4.9% Private sector (Non guaranteed) 0.5% International & regional organizations 31.4% Chart (2) External Debt Structure End of Dec. 2017 Long-term deposits 21.6% C- Breakdown by Currency Suppliers' & buyers' credits 9.1% Other bilateral debt 8.4% Egyptian bonds and notes 10.7% Short -term debt 13.4% Measuring the currency composition of Egypt's external debt is an important indicator that sheds light on the external debt exposure, arising from currency markets' volatility. A breakdown of the currency composition of external debt indicates that the US dollar is the main borrowing currency, with a relative importance of 64.9 percent of the total. This upward biased share of US dollar largely reflects the fact that there are other outstanding obligations in US dollar to creditors other than the USA (such as the African Development Bank (AFDB) and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD). Including the Liquidity Support Facility (LSF) from China Development Bank (CDB) to CBE.

Central Bank of Egypt External Position 13 Other important currencies accounted for 33.6 percent of the total debt, as follows: the Euro is the runner-up (13.9 percent), followed by the Special Drawing Rights * (10.7 percent, the Chinese Yuan (3.3 percent), the Kuwaiti dinar (3.0 percent) and the Japanese yen (2.7 percent).

Meanwhile, 22.4 percent of Egypt's external debt with a value of US$ 18.5 billion came from China (6.0 percent) and five members of Paris Club countries; namely Germany (8.5 percent), Japan (2.6 percent), France (2.3 percent), USA (1.8 percent) and UK (1.2 percent). E- Breakdown by Debtor The structure of Egypt s external debt by debtor reveals that: - Central and local government remains the main debtor, with a share of 46.7 percent of external debt at end of Dec. 2017. Its debt increased by US$ 3.8 billion to amount to US$ 38.7 billion. - Banks' external debt increased by about US$ 2.0 billion to US$ 6.1 billion. - Other sectors' debt increased by about US$ 0.9 billion to US$ 10.7 billion. - However, the monetary authority's external debt decreased by about US$ 2.9 billion to US$ 27.4 billion at end of Dec. 2017. 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% Arab countries 27.0% International & regional organizations 31.4% Chart (4) External Debt by Creditor End of Dec. 2017 Egyptian bonds and notes 10.7% France 2.3% Chart (5) External Debt by Debtor End of United Kingdom 1.2% USA 1.8% Japan 2.6% China 6.0% Germany Other 8.5% countries 8.5% Dec.2016 June 2017 Dec.2017 Other Sectors Monetary Authority Banks Central & Local Government Including Egypt s allocation of SDRs by the IMF.

Section V Exchange Rate Developments

Central Bank of Egypt External Position 15 Exchange Rate Developments On the 3 rd November 2016, the CBE took the decision of the liberalization of the Egyptian pound exchange rate, to be quoted according to the dynamics of supply and demand. This decision comes in line with the economic reform program. (i) Inter-bank Rate 1 : During July/Dec. 2017/18, the exchange rates of most of foreign currencies depreciated against the Egyptian pound. The weighted average of the US dollar in the Egyptian inter-bank market depreciated by 2.0 percent to record EGP 17.7277 at end of Dec. 2017, (against EGP 18.0911 at end of June 2017). (ii) Market Rate: At end of Dec. 2017, according to the foreign exchange market (buying price), most of the foreign currencies decreased against the Egyptian pound. To illustrate, the Swiss Franc decreased by 3.2 percent, Japanese yen (100) by 2.6 percent, US dollar, UAE dirham, and Saudi riyal by 2.0 percent each, and Kuwaiti dinar by 1.6 percent. On the other hand, the Euro increased by 3.8 percent, Sterling pound by 3.2 percent, and Chinese yuan by 2.5 percent. 1 The inter-bank foreign exchange market was launched in Egypt in December 2004.

(1): Egypt's Subscription to SDDS and Data Quality Dimensions: In 1996, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) introduced the Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS). The SDDS is intended to guide countries that have, or seek to have, access to international capital markets in their provision of economic and financial statistics. Subscription to SDDS is voluntary and it requires subscribers to observe the standard and provide information on data and dissemination practices (the metadata) to the IMF for redissemination. The standard identifies 4 dimensions of data dissemination: coverage, periodicity, and timeliness; access by the public; the integrity of the disseminated data; and the quality of the data themselves. In particular, the data dimension lists 18 data categories, providing coverage for 4 sectors (real, financial, fiscal and external) of the economy and prescribes minimum timeliness and frequency standards, summarized in the table below. On January 31, 2005, Egypt became the 59 th subscriber to the International Monetary Fund's Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS). The report of the External Position contains external sector data that cover external debt, balance of payments, international reserves, merchandise trade, international investment position (IIP) and exchange rates. Such data are published in compliance with the requirement under the Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS) of the IMF. The Central Bank of Egypt compiles these statistics and disseminates them through press releases, its website, and at the same time, on the IMF's Dissemination Standards Bulletin Board (DSBB). Also, these data are included in the CBE's main publications; quarterly Economic Review, Annual Report and Monthly Statistical Bulletin. As the title indicates, the most comprehensive and complete databases are those available from national sources, supplying high quality, timely and accurate data to international financial community to support investment activity.

Central Bank of Egypt External Position 76 Box. (2):Egypt's Data Quality Dimensions*: According to international rating agencies, having efficient, effective and reliable economic data, especially in developing countries, is becoming increasingly crucial to assign an appropriate sovereign credit rating. Thus, a lack of data in this area will automatically translate into a perception of high risk. Therefore, highlighting the dimensions of Egypt's data quality by showing the results of World Bank index (BBSC 2017) will be an appropriate way to show how reliable the Egyptian official data are. Egypt ranked 25 th on World Bank's Bulletin Board on Statistical Capacity index on 146 developing countries and 1 st on the MENA and African regions, with an overall statistical capacity index of 83.3 points, compared to 87.8 in 2016. Statistical Capacity Indicator 2017 (on a scale of 0-100) Indicator Egypt All Countries Overall 83.3 68.8 Methodology 70 57.1 Source Data 90 65.8 Periodicity & timeliness 90 83.4 A country's statistical capacity means its ability to extract and publish reliable and timely statistical data, easily accessible by the public. The statistical capacity index, issued annually by the World Bank, consists of three sub-indicators which include; methodology, data sources, and its periodicity and timeliness. The latter measures the degree of information and data dissemination concerning changes in government policy, and how easily that information can be accessed by the public. It is worth mentioning that, aiming to improve the statistical capacity of 146 developing countries, the World Bank provides information on various aspects of national statistical systems through the BBSC indicator at its website. As can be seen from the table and its chart, Egypt s score outpaced the average score of all countries, either on the level of the overall index, or on the level of its three sub-indicators. * Source: bbsc.worldbank.org, accessed in November, 2017.
