Fund Managers Commentary The benchmark index kicked off the first month of the year on a strong note largely accentuated by political catalysts. The newlydrafted constitution passed by 98.1% with a 38.6% turnout ratio, confirming consensus building and marks a key step towards political stability. It is worth mentioning that 2012 constitutional referendum had a total turnout ratio of 32% and was approved by roughly 63%. The results were later followed by another market trigger with the interim President announcing an alteration to the initial political roadmap by running presidential elections ahead of parliamentary elections. The news was well received in the market as investors believed the move should speed up the election of a permanent government that is expected to take vital decisions and carryout structural reforms necessary to revive the economy. The aforementioned news coupled with a clear interest by the army chief General, Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, to run for president flourished market gains to close January up 9.2%. On the economic spectrum, the budget deficit narrowed c.3% y-o-y to reach EGP89.4 billion (4.4% of GDP) during 1H2014 down from EGP91.7 billion (5.2% of GDP) reported a year earlier. This comes relatively in line with the governments target to lower the budget deficit to c.10.0% of GDP in FY2014 as opposed to 13.7% reported in FY2013. On a similar note, the minister of planning stated that the government is targeting a real GDP growth rate of 3.0%-3.5% in FY2014. In terms of funding avenues, oil-rich GCC countries continue to lend support to the country. Saudi Arabia announced an additional USD4.0 billion worth of aid in the form of deposits at the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) as well as fuel shipments. UAE also extended an additional USD1.8 billion aid package in the form of fuel shipments. We continue to expect additional financial support from GCC countries especially if the elected President gains broad consensus from key supporters like Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Kuwait. On the corporate front, EFG Hermes announced plans to buy back shares worth EGP1.0 billion to be executed over two phases. The first phase was executed end of January and incorporated the buyback of c.36.6 million shares at EGP11.50 per share with a total value of c.EGP425 million. The second phase is valued at EGP575 million and is expected to take place during 2Q/3Q-2014. The stock reacted positively to the news as some investors believed that management are in pursuit to unlock value in the stock while others anticipate a major corporate action over the coming period.
