N.B. Two days later & in an interview with Mr. Hesham Tawfik, Chairman of Arabiya Online, affiliated to Citadel Group & a reputable strategist of proven past record, published in the same source of 1/4/2010 (P. 9) he predicted that the cement industry, after the fertilizers industry, is deemed among the most promising sectors in 2010 & thereafter. To maximize benefits of the development, neutral observers believe the new licenses should provide for serious assurances to optimize local manufacture component in new mills, their complete adherence to environment codes & the strict activation of the bypass recycling clauses in the new cement mills projects. New in their view is the need to incentivate new cement mills owners to develop their own new & renewable energy supply sources similar to the plans now adopted by Italcementi Group. Worth indicating is that the issuance of 12 new licenses for cement mills projects to host annual production of 19 million tons translates in L.E. 15 to L.E. 20 billion new investments at present prices.

CeBIT 2010 - a world leading international ICT Exhibition is now to be held in Hanover, Germany, March 2 to 6, 2010 and ten Egyptian I.T. companies (only) are participating on the event, yet under 85 % subsidies from ITIDA. N.B. The figure is far behind expectation & does not commensurate at all with the huge government support & budgets allocated to enhance the ICT national industry. It may even lead to disqualify all efforts & investments spent by the government & other numerous businessmen organizations & NGOs which received millions, if not tens or hundreds of millions of foreign assistance from donors, particularly from the US & the EU, not to overlook earlier endorsed I.T. export subsidies fees. For how long entrepreneurs & executives of the national I.T. industry, excluding 10 or 20 or 30 mature companies, will remain limited to their local visions & participation on local I.T. exhibitions at peanut costs, that remains to be seen. N.B. Earlier media reports indicated that 17 Egyptian ICT companies participated on CeBIT 2009. More details may also be searched at www.cebit.de/exhibitorsproducts or at www.itida.gov.eg

Industry Chamber, also representative of the civil society at that committee, indicating that close cooperation in that field is going with CAPMAS - Central Agency For Public Mobilization And Statistics, the Ministry of Finance and CBE - Central Bank of Egypt. The Executive noted that E - Commerce in the country has been so far suffering from relevant legislative infrastructure coupled with weak awareness of the crucial importance of that field. Eng. Fayyad revealed that a proposal is being evaluated to develop a web site to be sponsored by the International Trade Point to handle exclusively issues related to E - Commerce.

Electronic advertising is challenging every body & industry sources predicted world expenditure on electronic marking to reach $ 10 billion in 2010. That was the title of a one page full reportage published in the media demonstrating the views of several industry executives led by Mr. Wa'el Al Fakharani, Executive Director of Google Egypt. While the issue has not yet been digested in the Egyptian market, still with internet users in the country exceeding lately 14 million or 17% of population, the trend would be soon felt in marketing & advertisement patterns in the country. Reportage is deemed an interesting piece of market literature of value to concerned business & parties.

Jan 28, 2010

Expenditure on I.T. and communications in Egypt is projected to double by 2013 and reach $ 2.5 billion up from $ 1.2 billion in 2008.

For how long would the national ICT industry continue to suffer from practices involving fraud & the use of falsified components and specifications that remains to be seen. An almost one page full reportage, addressing repeatedly the issue, seems worth comprehension, monitoring & follow up by concerned businesses and parties. N.B. Earlier media reports indicated that only 10 ICT companies (obviously excluding multinationals operating in Egypt) have participated on Cebit ICT fair held in Hanover, Germany. Figure is by all means shocking.

Figures may send reasonably relaxing news to the I.T. industry which suffered bitterly from replications of the international financial crisis. N.B. To which extent such a recovery may accelerate in 2010 that remains to be seen.

Business News A report released recently by CI Capital Investment Bank has predicted revenues & subscribers of Egyptian communications' companies to continue increasing in 2010. Report noted those companies would depend on promoting Internet access devices & solutions to balance with revenues decline amid most fierce competition of offered reduced prices for mobile telephone service.

Report has further admitted that its earlier circulated projections on a possible drop of Telecom Egypt's revenues & profits did not materialize & the same applied to other service providers. The report has further claimed that only companies disposing on high level liquidity would be enabled to maintain a distinguished post on the market in 2010.

CeBIT 2010 - a world leading international ICT Exhibition is now to be held in Hanover, Germany, March 2 to 6, 2010 and ten Egyptian I.T. companies (only) are participating on the event, yet under 85 % subsidies from ITIDA. N.B. The figure is far behind expectation & does not commensurate at all with the huge government support & budgets allocated to enhance the ICT national industry. It may even lead to disqualify all efforts & investments spent by the government & other numerous businessmen organizations & NGOs which received millions, if not tens or hundreds of millions of foreign assistance from donors, particularly from the US & the EU, not to overlook earlier endorsed I.T. export subsidies fees. For how long entrepreneurs & executives of the national I.T. industry, excluding 10 or 20 or 30 mature companies, will remain limited to their local visions & participation on local I.T. exhibitions at peanut costs, that remains to be seen. N.B. Earlier media reports indicated that 17 Egyptian ICT companies participated on CeBIT 2009. More details may also be searched at www.cebit.de/exhibitorsproducts or at www.itida.gov.eg

Earlier media reports indicated that only 10 ICT companies (obviously excluding multinationals operating in Egypt) have participated on Cebit ICT fair held in Hanover, Germany.
