Without their tireless work to promote the field of Global Studies and committed support for their students I would not have been able to complete this degree. I am also eternally grateful for the intellectual camaraderie and unending solidarity of my UCSB colleagues who helped me navigate Californian graduate school and come out the other side: Brett Aho, Amy Fallas, Tina Guirguis, Taylor Horton, Miguel Fuentes Carreño, Lena Köpell, Ashkon Molaei, Asutay Ozmen, Jonas Richter, Eugene Riordan, Luka Šterić, Heather Snay and Leila Zonouzi. I would especially also like to thank my friends in Cairo whose infinite humour, loyalty and love created the best dysfunctional family away from home I could ever ask for and encouraged me to enroll in graduate studies and complete this thesis: Miriam Afifiy, Eman El-Sherbiny, Felix Fallon, Peter Holslin, Emily Hudson, Raïs Jamodien and Thomas Pinney.

  • Annaulreport MISR BANK 2004-2005.Pdf
    Mr. Mohamed Kamal El Din Barakat Chairman During the fiscal year 2004/2005, the Egyptian government undertook significant structural reforms to the financial and monetary policies that led to an increase in the GDP (gross domestic product) growth rate to 5.1% compared to 4.2% in the previous year as well as a reduction of the inflation rate to 4.7%. Furthermore, the foreign exchange markets witnessed stability and the monetary reserves of foreign currencies increased to more than $20 Billion. This improvement was reflected upon all market sectors including banking. Consequently, it impacted Banque Misr's financial achievements for this year where total assets had grown by 17.3% to reach L.E 106.8 billion. As for the deposits, they grew by 16.3% to reach L.E 93.2 Billion and the shareholders' equity increased by 2.6% to reach L.E 3.5 Billion. Concerning loans, the total loans portfolio grew by 3.8% to reach L.E 37.8 billion. Furthermore, the bank continued its support for small and micro finance projects by offering credit facilities engaging higher employment rates for economy support. The financial investments increased by 26% to reach L.E. 39.1 Billion. In this context, the Bank's newly introduced investment fund with daily current revenue (day by day account) was highly accepted by the customers. This was reflected by the increase of its net value from L.E. 200 Million on its issuance date during August 2004 to reach more than L.E. 2 Billion by the end of July 2005, the total profits before provisions and taxes increased by 74.3% to reach L.E.

  • Leitfaden Der Deutschen Schuleinrichtungen in Ägypten Leitfaden Der Deutschen Schuleinrichtungen in Ägypten
    Leitfaden der deutschen Schuleinrichtungen in Ägypten Leitfaden der deutschen Schuleinrichtungen in Ägypten 1 PB Diese Broschüre bietet eine Auswahl an Schulen, ohne Anspruch auf Vollstän- digkeit. Die Botschaft der Bundesrepublik Deutschland in Kairo übernimmt für die Angaben keine Gewähr. Für die hier enthaltenen Informationen sind die jeweiligen Einrichtungen verantwortlich. Kairo, 2020 3 2 Abkürzungs- und Erklärungsverzeichnis: Sprachen: Klassenstufen: Schulabschlüsse: - 3 2 Sehr geehrte Leserinnen und Leser, die Bundesrepublik Deutschland unterstützt in Ägypten seit vielen Jahren sie- ben anerkannte deutsche Auslandsschulen, sieben ägyptische Schulen, an denen die Schülerinnen und Schüler das Deutsche Sprachdiplom erwerben kön- nen und zwanzig ägyptische Schulen, an welchen Deutschunterricht auf- bzw. ausgebaut wird. Ohne dieses !nanzielle und personelle Engagement könn- ten die Schulen nicht so erfolgreich gefördert wer- den, wie es derzeit der Fall ist. Doch nicht nur das Engagement Deutschlands wird benötigt, um die hohe Qualität und die Konkurrenz- fähigkeit der Schulen und erworbenen Abschlüsse beizubehalten: im ebenso großen Maße spielen die Leistung der Schulträger, die engagierten Schulleiterinnen und -leiter und die tatkräftigen lokalen und vermittelten Lehrerinnen und Lehrer eine herausra- gende Rolle. Durch die Initiative „Schulen: Partner der Zukunft“, kurz PASCH, wird den Schülerinnen und Schülern in Ägypten der Zugang zu einer deutschen Bil- dungslaufbahn ermöglicht, welche den Grundstein für eine erfolgreiche deutsch-ägyptisches Bildungsbiographie legen kann. Auch aus diesem Grund genießen die PASCH-Schulen ein hohes Ansehen bei den Eltern, die ihren Kin- dern, angefangen in deutschsprachigen Kindergärten, bestmögliche Zukunfts- perspektiven eröffnen möchten. Um interessierten Eltern, Schülerinnen und Schülern sowie Institutionen eine Übersicht der PASCH-Initiative in Ägypten bieten zu können, hat die Botschaft der Bundesrepublik Deutschland die vorliegende Broschüre entworfen.
