Preface

The External Position of the Egyptian Economy Report is one of a series released by the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) on a quarterly basis. It aims to make available to a broad readership of specialists and non-specialists a reasonable range of information on the performance of the country's external sector during the reporting period.

The series reviews the key developments in the main

components of Egypt's Balance of Payments (BOP). It also sheds light on the country's International Investment Position (IIP), external debt, external liquidity and recent exchange rate developments.

The report at hand, the twenty fourth in this series, covers the

first half of FY 2008/09. The Central Bank of Egypt posts this series, along with its other publications, on its website www.cbe.org.eg. Hard copies can be obtained from the Research, Development and Publishing Sector, 8th floor, 54 El Gomhouria street, Cairo.

Central Bank of Egypt – External Position

Overview

gypt's BOP during the first half of FY 2008/09, affected by the

global financial crisis, posted an overall deficit of about US$ 0.5 billion with the gross international reserves falling by an equal amount. This deficit is an outcome of a current account deficit of US$ 2.5 billion and a net inflow of US$ 2.0 billion in the capital and financial account. The current account deficit was attributed to the trade deficit, which exceeded the surplus in both the services balance and net unrequited transfers.

The capital and financial account net inflow was due to an inflow of US$ 4.0 billion in net Foreign Direct Investment in Egypt (FDI), and US$ 6.8 billion in net other assets and liabilities, whereas portfolio investment in Egypt recorded a net outflow of US$ 7.4 billion.

International Investment Position (IIP) (realizing net liabilities) declined over the past four years. Such improvement attests to the success of the reform process in Egypt, and the creation of better business climate. Egypt was chosen top reformer by the World Bank.

Egypt’s IIP at end of Dec. 2007 recorded net liabilities of US$ 8.3 billion, down from US$ 10.8 billion a year earlier.

Net international reserves (NIR) decreased by US$ 0.5 billion during July/December 2008/09, to reach US$ 34.1 billion at end of December 2008, covering 7.3 months of merchandise imports. However

during the report printing period, NIR registered US$ 33.1 billion at end of February 2009. Banks' net foreign assets amounted to US$ 11.6 billion at end of December 2008, down by US$ 11.5 billion from June 2008 level. Foreign currency deposits with banks fell by 1.2 percent, to post US$ 29.6 billion at end of December 2008. Their percentage to total deposits, however, remained the same as at end of June 2008 (24.1 percent). Egypt's outstanding external debt registered US$ 32.1 billion at end of December 2008, compared with US$ 33.9 billion at end of June 2008, decreasing by US$ 1.8 billion. The decrease was a result of a US$ 1.1 billion depreciation of the majority of other currencies versus the US dollar and a net repayment of US$ 0.7 billion. The external debt position continued to have a favorable profile, with 91.2 percent representing medium- and long- term debt. The public sector is the major obligor, carrying 94.5 percent of Egypt's external debt. External debt/GDP ratio dropped to 16.1 percent at end of December 2008, against 20.2 a year earlier. The weighted average rate of the interbank foreign exchange market reached pt 551.4 per US dollar at end of December 2008 compared with pt 533.3 at end of June 2008. Accordingly, the Egyptian pound exchange rate depreciated by around 3.3 percent.

BOP Performance During first half of FY 2008/09

With the global financial crisis intensifying in September 2008, Egypt's balance of payments performance was negatively affected in the period Oct./Dec. of the FY 2008/09 to end up with an overall deficit of US$ 0.5 billion during July/Dec. 2008/09, against a surplus of US$ 3.1 billion a year earlier. The deficit was the outcome of a current account deficit and a net inflow in the capital and financial account. 1 - Current Account BOP current account realized a deficit of US$ 2.5 billion against US$ 0.3 billion a year earlier. The deficit was mainly attributed to a widening trade deficit of US$ 14.6 billion (7.3 percent of GDP) which exceeded the services surplus (US$ 7.5 billion or 3.7 percent of GDP) as well as net unrequited transfers (US$ 4.6 billion or 2.3 percent of GDP).

1.1: Trade balance The trade deficit, during July/Dec. 2008, widened by US$ 3.4 billion or 29.8 percent, as imports grew more than exports. Merchandise exports (FOB) grew by US$ 0.5 billion or 3.8 percent (6.7 percent of GDP) reaching US$ 13.6 billion. Oil exports decreased by 0.7 percent on the back of the decline in oil prices by over 60 percent, since its peak in July 2008. Merchandise imports (CIF) scaled-up by US$ 3.9 billion or 15.8 percent, to US$ 28.2 billion, as an outcome of a 19.4 percent increase in non-oil imports, to reach US$ 24.0 billion, and a 1.1 percent decrease in oil imports to US$ 4.2 billion. It is note worthy that 66.8 percent of the rise in non-oil imports was mainly due to the increase in intermediate goods.

Central Bank of Egypt – External Position 2 Export-import ratio dropped to 48.2 percent during the reporting period, from 53.8 percent in the corresponding period. 1.2: Services balance and transfers Services surplus (51 percent of trade deficit) improved by 10.7 percent during the first half of the FY 2008/09. Such surplus stemmed from a rise in receipts by US$ 0.8 billion or 6.0 percent, to reach US$ 13.6 billion, surpassing the increase in payments by US$ 47.2 million or 0.8 percent, to reach US$ 6.1 billion. Services receipts main components increased during the reporting period. Transportation receipts rose by 16.4 percent to US$ 4.3 billion or 2.1 percent of GDP, mostly due to a 8.1 percent pickup in the receipts of Suez Canal dues. However, these receipts fell by 13.4 percent during Oct./Dec. 2008/09 compared to July/September 2008/09. Travel receipts escalated by 2.8 percent to US$ 5.7 billion or 2.8 percent of GDP during July/Dec. 2008/09, as the number of tourist nights increased by almost 2.8 percent compared to July/Dec. 2007/08. However, it declined by 10.0 percent during Oct./Dec. 2008/09 compared with the same quarter a year earlier, and by 25.0 percent compared with July/Sept. 2008/09. Moreover, other receipts witnessed a 9.7 percent increase, recording US$ 2.0 billion due to the increase in receipts from commissions and agencies fees, legal consultation, computer services, and communications services. On the other hand, Investment income declined by 13.4 percent, reaching US$ 1.5 billion due to a decrease in interest on deposits abroad.

Services payments rose slightly as a result of an increase in Transportation payments by 10.7 percent to US$ 0.9 billion, due to the increase in transfers by foreign navigation and airline companies, and SUMED pipelines service; Travel payments by 1.3 percent, reaching US$ 1.5 billion, due to the increase in visa card payments, and pilgrimage; and other payments by 9.9 percent, recording US$ 2.3 billion due to higher payments for transfers by foreign companies, communications and computer services. On the other hand, Investment income decreased by 24.9 percent, due to the drop in profits transferred abroad by foreign companies, and the decline of interest on non residents deposits. Government Expenditure declined as well by 5.2 percent to US$ 0.6 billion.

Net unrequited transfers increased during July/Dec. 2008/09 by 9.9 percent to post US$ 4.6 billion or 2.3 percent of GDP, against US$ 4.2 billion or 2.6 percent of GDP a year earlier. The rise was attributed to an increase in net official transfers by US$ 0.3 billion, to reach US$ 0.5 billion, and a step up in net Private transfers by 3.0 percent ( mainly due to the increase in workers' remittances by 3.3 percent). Given the aforementioned develop-ments in the current account, most external balancing indicators have been affected as shown in the following figure:

2- Capital and Financial Account The capital and financial account’s net inflow of US$ 2.0 billion during July/Dec. 2008/09, (against US$ 3.2 billion a year earlier) was mainly attributed to the following:

A- Foreign investments in Egypt (direct and portfolio) realized a total net outflow of US$ 3.4 billion compared with a total net inflow of US$ 6.0 billion.

→Foreign direct investments (FDI) in Egypt achieved a net inflow of US$ 4.0 billion, or 2.0 percent of GDP (against US$ 7.8 billion, or 4.8 percent of GDP). The figure consisted of net greenfield investment of US$ 0.9 billion, net invest-ments in petroleum sector of US$ 2.8 billion, and US$ 0.3 billion proceeds of selling local assets to foreign investors (compared with US$ 3.5 billion, US$ 2.9 billion and US$ 1.4 billion, respectively).

Breakdown of total FDI inflows by economic sector, excluding the petroleum, shows that manufacturing absorbed 9.5 percent, financial sector 3.9 percent, services 3.6 percent, construction 2.4 percent, tourism 1.7 percent, and agriculture sector 1.2 percent.

→ Portfolio investment in Egypt recorded a net outflow of US$ 7.4 billion (against US$ 1.7 billion), of which US$ 6.0 billion were net sales of Egyptian treasury bills, reflect- ing a substantial withdrawal of foreign investments from government securities; as investors sought to liquidate

their portfolios in most emerging markets to overcome the liquidity crisis in their domestic economies. Foreigners' net sales in the Egyptian stock market amounted to US$ 0.8 billion (against US$ 2.3 billion). Moreover, net transactions of banks and insurance companies in sovereign bonds and LE bonds issued abroad amounted to US$ 0.5 billion (outflow).

B- Net other assets and

liabilities registered an inflow of US$ 6.8 billion, compared with an outflow of US$ 2.3 billion a year earlier.

C- Medium - & long-term loans

and suppliers' credit revealed net repayments of US$ 1.1 billion, compared with US$ 0.6 billion, resulting from:

→ Higher repayments, amounting to US$ 1.4 billion, compared with US$ 0.9 billion.

→ Drawings maintained its pre-vious year's level of US$ 0.3 billion.

International Investment Position (IIP) End of December 2007 *

Introduction :

IIP is a statistical, end of period stock-based report, reflecting the country's external financial assets and liabilities of all resident sectors. The IIP is based on the BPM5, and mainly the same sources of data used to compile the BOP's financial account. The IIP is broken down into: foreign direct investment, portfolio investments, other invest-ments and reserve assets. The BOP and IIP statistics are closely related, with measuring transaction flows and measuring stock positions. The IIP is important as a: - Measure to the degree of financial

openness - Monitor to external debt - Indicator of external debt sustainability - Indicator of financial stability

Egypt’s IIP at the end of Dec. 2007 recorded net external liabilities (external financial assets of residents, minus external financial liabilities of residents) of US$ 8.3 billion, down from US$ 10.8 billion at end of 2006 and US$ 16.0 billion at end of 2005. Consequently, Egypt’s foreign assets represented 90.2 percent of its foreign liabilities. The said ratio has been rising progressively since the end of 2004, when it was just 62.3 percent.

Assets and Liabilities by Component: Assets increased by 24.0 percent from US$ 61.6 billion at end of December 2006 to reach US$ 76.4 billion at end of December 2007. The pickup resulted from larger foreign investment abroad by 73.8 percent (59.6 percent in direct investment and 14.2 percent in portfolio investments), other investments by 23.7 percent, and reserve assets by 23.9 percent. Liabilities to non-residents rose by 17.1 percent to US$ 84.7 billion. The rise was mostly due to the increase in FDI in Egypt by 29.7 percent, and in other investments by 10.3 percent, whereas portfolio liabilities dec-reased by 33.5 percent at end of Dec.2007.

External Liquidity Developments

A- Net International Reserves (NIR)

uring July/December 2008/09, NIR decreased by US$ 0.5 billion, against an increase of

US$ 3.1 billion, to reach US$ 34.1 billion at end of December 2008. NIR, expressed as months of merchandise imports, reached 7.3 months at end of December 2008. While this report was under pre-paration, NIR reached US$ 33.1 billion at end of February 2009. The decline in NIR was a result of the world financial crisis repercuss-ions. The rate of decline (1.3%) is the lowest compared with the emerging economies (5%-23%). Concerning CBE international re-serves policy management, the Bank's investment policy aimed at diversifying the composition of NIR to include other currencies besides the US dollar. The policy was based upon certain factors: Egypt's external debt structure; currencies of Egypt's main trade partners; and reserves' distribution among many portfolios

with maturities and goals that are risk/return balanced.

US$ 32.1 billion at end of December 2008, against US$ 33.9 billion at end of June 2008, down by US$ 1.8 billion.

Central Bank of Egypt – External Position 11

D- External Debt Indicators In July/December 2008, Egypt's external debt indicators continued to ameliorate for the third consecutive year. Such an improvement emerged from two developments. First, GDP grew as a reflection of Egypt's strong economic perfor - mance, so the ratio of external debt to GDP declined from 20.2 percent to 16.1 percent at end of December 2008. Second, current receipts (exports of goods and services, including transfers) posted a rise of 5.6 percent, over an increase in debt service payments by US$ 464.1 million during July/December 2008*. This led to an increase in the debt service ratio to export proceeds of goods and services to 6.3 percent during July/ December 2008/2009, from 4.9 percent a year earlier. Likewise, its ratio to current receipts (including

transfers) went up to 5.4 percent from 4.2 percent.

Exchange Rate Developments

Since January 29, 2003, the Egyptian pound exchange rate has been liberalized, and by December 2004, the Central Bank of Egypt launched the interbank foreign exchange market system. According to CBE Central Chamber for FX Statistics, the weighted average of US dollar exchange rate in the interbank foreign exchange market reached EGP 5.5137 at the end of December 2008, against EGP 5.3331 at end of June 2008, appreciating by 3.4%. At end of December 2007, the US$ exchange rate recorded EGP 5.5145. As for market rates, during July/ Dec. 2008/09, the Egyptian pound exchange rate depreciated by around 3.3 percent vis a vis the US$, mainly due to the global economic slowdown and the current account deficit, whereas it appreciated against some currencies such as the pound sterling by 24.2 percent, the euro by 8.4 percent, the Swiss franc by 1.1 percent, and the Kuwaiti Dinar by 0.9 percent.
