Central Bank of Egypt – External Position

Preface

The External Position of the Egyptian Economy Report is a series produced by the Economic Research Sector in the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE). The Report tracks, on a quarterly basis, the international transactions that the Egyptian economy conducts with the rest of the world. It relies, for this purpose, on national statistics that are regularly compiled in line with the SDDS prescriptions.

Enthused by the CBE's keenness to enhance its disclosure, transparency and communication policy, the Report is meant to serve several functions. Generally, it spreads, to a broad array of readers, knowledge of Egypt’s external accounts including the balance of payments, external debt, international investment position and external liquidity. Particularly, it monitors key external sector performance indicators of the economy in order to identify areas of policy needs. The information revealed in this series has also significant implications for decision-making, investment climate, doing-business environment and sovereign credit ratings.

The Report contains 6 sections. The first section gives a performance portrait of the key components of Egypt's Balance of Payments (BOP). The second and third review developments related to the International Investment Position (IIP) and external liquidity. The fourth and fifth show Egypt's external debt in its different classifications and the exchange rate developments. The last section is a statistical part that provides more details on the above mentioned five sections. This is in addition to a glossary.

The Report is available at the CBE's website www.cbe.org.eg. Hard copies can be obtained from the Economic Research Sector, 8th floor, 54 El Gomhoreya Street, Cairo.

Central Bank of Egypt – External Position

Overview Following the liberalization of the exchange rate in late 2016, the Central Bank decided to abolish the repatriation mechanism on December 4, 2018, which was put in place for any new investments in foreign currency. As a result, the official reserves were strongly rebuilt again through official channels, and the Egyptian pound improved against the US dollar. Egypt's transactions with the external world recorded an overall BOP surplus of US$ 410.9 million in the first half of FY 2019/2020 (against overall deficit of US$ 1.8 billion in the corresponding period). The current account deficit decreased to about US$ 4.6 billion (against about US$ 5.3 billion). The capital and financial account resulted in a net inflow of US$ 5.2 billion (against about US$ 3.1 billion). The improvement in the current account deficit was due to the following developments:

- The trade deficit decreased by 2.8 percent to about US$ 18.7 billion.

- Net unrequited current transfers rose by 14.1 percent to about US$ 13.6 billion.

- On the other hand, the services balance surplus decreased by 13.5 percent, recording about US$ 6.3 billion.

- The income balance ran a deficit of about US$ 5.8 billion (against about US$ 5.2 billion).

The capital and financial account revealed an increase in net inflows to US$ 5.2 billion (against about US$ 3.1 billion). Egypt’s International Investment Position (IIP) at end of Dec. 2019 recorded net external liabilities (assets minus liabilities) of about US$ 176.0 billion, up by 4.4 percent compared to end of June 2019.

Net International Reserves (NIR) increased by US$ 0.9 billion to reach US$ 45.4 billion, covering 8.3 months of merchandise imports at end of December 2019. The increase was a result of both the rise in foreign currencies by about US$ 0.6 billion and in gold by US$ 0.5 billion, and the decrease in SDRs by US$ 0.2 billion. During the preparation of the Report, NIR reached US$ 38.2 billion at end of June 2020. Banks’ net foreign assets increased by US$ 2.7 billion during July/December 2019/2020. Foreign currency deposits with banks decreased by 4.6 percent during the period concerned, reaching US$ 41.0 billion at end of December 2019. As a percentage of total deposits, they made up 18.2 percent. Total external debt recorded US$ 112.7 billion at end of Dec. 2019, up by about US$ 4.0 billion (compared with about US$ 108.7 billion at end of June 2019). The external debt remains within manageable limits, and its position continues to have a favorable structure, as 90.0 percent of the debt is long-term. The weighted average of the inter-bank foreign exchange market rate revealed that the Egyptian pound interbank rate appreciated by 4.1 percent during the first half of FY 2019/2020, as the EGP reached 16.0415 per US dollar at end of December 2019, against EGP 16.7057 per US dollar at end of June 2019.

BOP Performance

gypt's transactions with the external world recorded an

overall BOP surplus of US$ 410.9 million in the first half of FY 2019/2020 (against overall deficit of US$ 1.8 billion in the corresponding period). The current account deficit decreased to about US$ 4.6 billion (against about US$ 5.3 billion). The capital and financial account resulted in a net inflow of US$ 5.2 billion (against about US$ 3.1 billion). Chart (1) shows the developments in Egypt’s BOP main components, on quarterly basis.

1- Current Account The improvement in the current account deficit was mainly traceable to the following developments: - The trade deficit decreased by 2.8

percent to about US$ 18.7 billion (against about US$ 19.3 billion).

- Net unrequited current transfers rose by 14.1 percent to about US$ 13.6 billion (against about US$ 12.0 billion).

- On the other hand, the services balance surplus retreated by US$ 1.0 billion, recording about US$ 6.3 billion (against about US$ 7.3 billion).

- The income balance ran a deficit of about US$ 5.8 billion (against about US$ 5.2 billion).

1.1: Trade in Goods Trade volume decreased by 1.2 percent, to reach US$ 47.2 billion (14.0 percent of GDP) during July/ December 2019/20. The trade deficit decreased by US$ 547.5 million, to reach US$ 18.7 billion (5.6 percent of GDP) against US$ 19.3 billion, due to the following developments: Merchandise exports decreased by 0.2 percent to reach US$ 14.3 billion, due to the decrease in oil exports by 16.0 percent to US$ 5.1 billion (35.4 percent of total exports), and the increase in non-oil exports by 11.4 percent, to US$ 9.2 billion (64.6 percent of total exports). As a result, the exports/ imports ratio mounted to 43.2 percent, from 42.6 percent.

Merchandise imports decreased by 1.7 percent to reach US$ 33.0 billion, due to the decrease in both non-oil imports by 1.8 percent to US$ 27.2 billion (82.5 percent of total imports), and oil imports by 1.4 percent to US$ 5.8 billion (17.5 percent of total imports).

1.4: Unrequited Current Transfers (Net)

Net unrequited current transfers

increased by 14.1 percent to about US$

13.6 billion (from about US$ 12.0

billion), mainly due to the rise in net

private transfers from about US$ 11.8

billion to about US$ 13.5 billion, driven

by the increase in workers’ remittances

by 13.5 percent. On the other hand, net

official transfers decreased to US$

135.2 million (against US$ 163.5

million).

Against this background, some of the

external balance indicators changed as

shown in chart (11).

2- Capital and Financial Account The capital and financial account recorded a net inflow of US$ 5.2 billion during the first half of FY 2019/2020 (against about US$ 3.1 billion), as an outcome of the following developments: A- Total FDI inflows registered about US$ 9.2 billion (against about US$ 8.0 billion), while total outflows posted about US$ 4.2 billion (against about US$ 3.8 billion).

External Debt

External debt recorded US$ 112.7

billion at end of December 2019, up by

about US$ 4.0 billion compared to June

2019. This increase came as a result of

the rise in net disbursements of loans

and facilities by US$ 4.3 billion, while

most currencies of borrowing

depreciated versus the US dollar by

US$ 0.3 billion.

A- Breakdown by Maturity

By original maturity, external debt

reaffirmed its usual pattern of long-

term external debt predominance at end

of December 2019. Long-term

external debt accounted for US$ 101.4

billion or 90.0 percent of the total

external debt, whereas short-term

external debt accounted for US$ 11.3

billion or 10.0 percent.

By residual maturity1, short-term debt

accounted for 25.4 percent of the total

external debt at end of December 2019,

compared to 10.0 percent classified by

original maturity. Meanwhile, long-

term external debt represented 74.6

percent of the total debt, in comparison

to 90.0 percent by original maturity.

1 While the analytical presentation of external debt by original maturity is the norm recommended in the External Debt Statistics Guide, residual maturity presentation still draws significant attention. In other words, compilation of external debt statistics based on original maturity helps in understanding the nature of capital flows; while the remaining maturity provides a profile of debt service payments, especially those falling due in the near term, and of potential liquidity risks facing the economy. Short-term debt by residual maturity comprises all components of short-term debt with original maturity of up to one year, and the amounts falling due –under medium- and long-term debt by original maturity– within one year or less.

C- Breakdown by Currency

Measuring the currency composition of Egypt's external debt is an important indicator that sheds light on the external debt exposure to currency markets' volatility.

The currency composition of external debt indicates that the US dollar is the main borrowing currency, with a value of US$ 71.4 billion. This includes other outstanding obligations in US dollar to creditors other than the USA such as international institutions. Other important currencies recorded US$ 41.3 billion distributed as follows: The Euro was the runner-up (US$ 16.2 billion), followed by the Special Drawing Rights3 (US$ 14.0 billion), the Chinese yuan (US$ 3.6 billion), the Kuwaiti dinar (US$ 2.9 billion), the Japanese yen (US$ 2.5 billion), and other currencies (US$ 2.1 billion).

countries, namely; Germany (US$ 3.2

billion), Japan (US$ 2.4 billion), UK5

(US$ 2.2 billion), France (US$ 1.6

billion), and USA (US$ 1.2 billion). In

addition, US$ 6.8 billion of the total

debt was owed to China.

E- Breakdown by Debtor

The structure of Egypt’s external debt by debtor sector at end of December 2019 reveals that:

F- External Debt Service

Debt service reached US$ 6.9 billion during July/December 2019/2020 compared to US$ 7.3 billion during July/December 2018/2019. This decrease was due to the decrease in installments repayment by about US$ 0.9 billion to record US$ 4.9 billion, whereas paid interest increased by about US$ 0.5 billion to reach US$ 2.0 billion.

G- External Debt Indicators6 As for the external debt in terms of international comparison, Egypt's debt remains within manageable limits. Based on IMF classification, comparing Egypt's key debt indicators with those of other regional country groups7 shows that: - Egypt's debt stock to GDP

represented 33.5 percent at end of

Glossary Balance of Payments: a statistical statement that summarizes, for a specific period of time, the economic transactions of an economy with the rest of the world. Bilateral Debt: Loans extended by a bilateral creditor. Bilateral Rescheduling Agreements: Rescheduling agreements reached bilaterally between the debtor and creditor countries. These are legally the equivalent of new loan agreements. After a Paris Club rescheduling, such agreements are required to put the debt restructuring set forth in the multinational Agreed Minute into effect.

Buyer’s Credit: A financial arrange-ment in which a bank or financial institution, or an export credit agency in the exporting country, extends a loan directly to a foreign buyer or to a bank in the importing country to pay for the purchase of goods and services from the exporting country (also known as financial credit). This term does not refer to credit extended directly from the buyer to the seller (for example, through advance payment for goods and services). Capital Account: a BOP account that covers capital transfers and the acquisition or disposal of non-produced non-financial items, such as patents. Current Account: a BOP account that covers all transactions in goods, services, income, and current transfers between residents and non- residents. Cutoff Date: The date (established at the time of a country’s first Paris Club debt reorganization / restructuring) before which loans must have been contracted in order for their debt service to be eligible for restructuring. New loans extended after the cutoff date are protected from future restructuring (subordination strategy).

In exceptional cases, arrears on post-cutoff-date debt can be deferred over short periods of time in restructuring agreements. Debt Instruments: Existing debt instruments typically arise out of contractual relationships under which an institutional unit (the debtor) has an unconditional liability to another institutional unit (the creditor) to repay principal with or without interest, or to pay interest without principal. These instruments include debt securities, loans, trade credit, and currency and deposits. Debt instruments may also be created by the force of law—in particular, obligations to pay taxes or to make other compulsory payments— or through rights and obligations that result in a debtor accepting an obligation to make future payment(s) to a creditor. Debt Service: Refers to payments in respect of both principal and interest. Actual debt service is the set of payments actually made to satisfy a debt obligation, including principal, interest, and any late payment fees. Scheduled debt service is the set of payments, including principal and interest, which is required to be made through the life of the debt. Debt Sustainability Analysis: A study of a country’s medium- to long-term debt situation. A country’s eligibility for support under the HIPC Initiative is determined on the basis of such an analysis, jointly under-taken by the staffs of the IMF, the World Bank, and the country concerned. External Debt: Gross external debt, at any given time, is the outstanding amount of those actual current, and not contingent liabilities that require payment(s) of interest and/or principal by the debtor at some point(s) in the future and that are owed to non-residents by residents of an economy.

Central Bank of Egypt – External Position 60 Financial Account: a BOP account that covers transactions between residents and non-residents in direct, portfolio, other investment, financial derivatives, and reserve assets. Gross Domestic Product (GDP): the value of an economy's total output of goods and services, less intermediate consumption, plus net taxes on products and imports. It can be broken down by output, expenditure, or income components. The main expenditure aggregates are final consumption of household and government, gross fixed capital formation, changes in inventories, and imports and exports of goods and services. International Investment Position (IIP): The IIP is the stock of external financial assets and liabilities on a specified reference date, usually the end of the quarter or year. The change in position between two end- periods reflects financial transactions, valuation changes, and other adjustments occurring during the period. Long-Term External Debt: External debt that has a maturity of more than one year. Maturity can be defined either on an original or remaining basis. Multilateral Creditors: These cre-ditors are multilateral institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank, as well as other multilateral development banks. Official Development Assistance (ODA): Flows of official financing administered with the promotion of the economic development and welfare of developing countries as the main objective, and which are concessional in character with a grant element of at least 25 percent (using a fixed 10 percent rate of discount). By convention, ODA flows comprise contributions of donor government agencies, at all levels, to developing countries (“bilateral ODA”) and to multilateral institutions. ODA receipts comprise disbursements by bilateral donors and multilateral institutions.

Lending by export credit agencies - with the pure purpose of export promotion - is excluded. Original Maturity: the period of time from when the financial asset/liability was created to its final maturity date. Paris Club: An informal group of creditor governments that has met regularly in Paris since 1956 to reschedule bilateral debts; the French treasury provides the secretariat. Creditors meet with a debtor country to reschedule its debts as part of the international support provided to a country that is experiencing debt servicing difficulties and is pursuing an adjustment program supported by the IMF. The Paris Club does not have a fixed membership, and its meetings are open to all official creditors that accept its practices and procedures. The core creditors are mainly OECD member countries, but other creditors attend as relevant for a debtor country. Russia became a member in September 1997. Remaining (Residual) Maturity: The period of time until debt payments fall due. In the External Debt Guide, it is recommended that short-term remain-ing maturity of outstanding external debt be measured by adding the value of outstanding short-term external debt (original maturity) to the value of outstanding long-term external debt (original maturity) due in one year or less.
