Egyptian Cotton on the Rise 2018 Cotton and Products Annual Egypt
THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: 3/27/2018 GAIN Report Number: EG18011 Egypt 2018 Cotton and Products Annual Egyptian Cotton on the Rise Approved By: Ali Abdi, Agricultural Minister Counselor Prepared By: Dr. Ahmed Wally, Agricultural Specialist, and Bret Tate, Agricultural Attaché Report Highlights: After years of declining production, Egyptian cotton is again on the rise. A currency devaluation, new policies to increase yields and improve quality, and high farm-gate prices are encouraging farmers to expand cotton area and increase production. Under this new economic environment, cotton exports are expected to rise during the coming years, while imports decrease marginally. FAS Cairo expects MY 2018/19 production to reach 420,000 bales, a near 40 percent increase over MY 2017/18. Production: Since early 2017 the Government of Egypt has been actively taking steps to protect the cotton industry from further decline. The Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation (MALR) is now directly overseeing cottonseed quality and handling seed distribution. Additionally, the government increased their reported indicative price for cotton by over EGP 400 ($22.72) over the previous season. The indicative price for extra-long staple cotton produced in the Nile Delta increased to EGP 2700 per kantar ($743.42 per bale), while the indicative price for medium and short staple increased to EGP 2500 per kantar ($688.35 per bale). [Note: 1 kantar ≈ 45.02 kg lint cotton. End note.] With the policy shifts and higher prices, planted area and yields are expected to increase in the coming years.

Egypt in Transition the Third Republic
Egypt in Transition The Third Republic BY M. CHERIF BASSIOUNI n January 25, 2011, the Egyptian people took to the streets and in 18 days were able to bring down the 30-year corrupt dictatorial regime of Hosni Mubarak, using entirely Opeaceful means. That revolution set the Arab Republic of Egypt on a hopeful path to democracy. After Mubarak resigned, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) became the custodian of the transition. In June of 2012, in Egypt’s ﬁrst free and fair presidential election, Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Morsi was elected President. Slightly more than 50 percent of registered voters actually voted, and those voters gave Morsi a majority of just less than 52 percent. Having won by this slim margin, Morsi was sworn in as President on June 30, 2012, and thus the Second Republic came to be.1 He was removed by the military on July 3, 2013 and a temporary President, Adly Mansour, was appointed on July 4, 2013. Thus began the Third Republic. The Second Republic Five months later, Morsi declared his decisions beyond judicial review, and thus his authority unchallengeable. In December, 2012, he pushed a pro-Islamist constitution through a popular referendum; it passed but with less than 30 percent of the popular vote. There was no constitu- tional way to recall, impeach, or remove Morsi. The path to democracy was taking a turn towards theocratic autocracy. The serving People’s Assembly (Majliss al-Sha‘ab) had been elected under a law later declared unconstitutional. Over 60 percent of the members of the new parliament were Muslim Brotherhood (MB) and Salaﬁsts.

Are Pound and Euro the Same Currency?
Are Pound and Euro the Same Currency? Raul Matsushitaa, Andre Santosb, Iram Gleriac, Annibal Figueiredod, Sergio Da Silvab∗ aDepartment of Statistics, University of Brasilia bDepartment of Economics, Federal University of Santa Catarina cDepartment of Physics, Federal University of Alagoas dDepartment of Physics, University of Brasilia Abstract Relying on a fictitious euro some physicists have claimed that the pound and the euro have been locked together for years despite daily changes in their respective exchange rates. They then conclude that pound and euro are in practice the same currency. We employ a novel technique based on time-varying Hurst exponents to assess efficiency and find that, in this respect, the pound and the euro are unambiguously distinct. While the pound is becoming more efficient, this is not the case for the euro. JEL Classification: F31, F32, F41 Keywords: False euro; Exchange rates; Financial efficiency; Hurst exponent 1. Introduction Some physicists have suggested that the pound is redundant in that it behaves like the euro [1, 6]. This claim has received reasonable media coverage in the financial press. The authors devise a fictitious (false) euro to get the euro’s short time series extended. And they find that before 1999, the pound fluctuated against the Deutschemark, the French franc, Finnish markka, Dutch guilder, and Austrian schilling in the same way as it fluctuated against the false euro. After 1999, the same matching pattern was seen between the pound and the euro itself. The correlation coefficients of the pound, Deutschemark and French franc were all similar to that of the actual euro. (Yet the Italian lira followed a different pattern.) According to the two physicists the results show that the pound and the euro have been locked together for years despite daily changes in their respective exchange rates.

Conflict Analysis of Egypt
Helpdesk Report Conflict analysis of Egypt Anna Louise Strachan 27. 02. 2017 Question What does the literature indicate about the current conflict dynamics in Egypt (excluding the Sinai Peninsula1), including key actors, proximate and structural causes, dynamics and triggers, and opportunities for peace and institutional resilience? Contents 1. Overview 2. Conflict dynamics and triggers 3. Key actors 4. Proximate causes of conflict 5. Structural causes of conflict 6. External pressures 7. Opportunities for peace and institutional resilience 8. References 1. Overview In 2011 Egypt experienced mass protests culminating in the fall of long serving president, Hosni Mubarak. The country’s first democratically elected President, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi’s, time in power was short-lived. He was deposed by Egypt’s military on 3 July 2013, following anti-government demonstrations (Tobin et al, 2015, p. 31). Abdul Fatah el-Sisi, former head of the armed forces, was elected in June 2014 (Tobin et al, 2015, p. 31). Sisi’s presidency has seen a return to military rule. There has also been a rise in the number of terrorist attacks in Egypt since he came to power in 2014. 1 For a conflict analysis of the Sinai Peninsula see Idris, I. (2017). Conflict analysis of Sinai (K4D Helpdesk Research Report). Brighton, UK: Institute of Development Studies.. The K4D helpdesk service provides brief summaries of current research, evidence, and lessons learned.
