“The Bloomberg agreement forecast was for a 100bps cut. we predict the (dis)inflation outlook supports any easing; world market sentiment is that the key supply of uncertainty on Egypt’s financial policy path.”
“The CBE aforesaid future choices are guided by “inflation expectations” instead of past CPI prints. we have a tendency to forecast that inflation can stay well anchored within the coming back months, well inside the CBE’s target of 9/11 3ppt for end-2020. we have a tendency to maintain our concern another 400bps of cuts for the remainder of FY20 (year ending June 2020).”
“The main risk to our decision is world financial-market sentiment towards EM and therefore the impact of any CBE easing on offshore holdings of Egyptian debt.”
