Egypt to invite investors for projects in ‘golden triangle’

Egypt is preparing a list of projects to show potential investors in its promising “golden triangle” area, home to nearly half the Arab country’s gold deposits.

The golden triangle, spanning over 9,000 square kilometres, is located in southeast Egypt and involves investments of more than $16 billion over 30 years.

Egypt, which is carrying out reforms to stimulate its economy and tackle persistent fiscal deficits, hopes the project will help spur foreign direct investment.

Prime minister Mostafa Madbouly reviewed plans to lure investment to the region during a meeting with ministers and other officials in the new administrative capital, the cabinet said on its website this week.

He instructed officials from the ministry of petroleum and mineral resources and the golden triangle economic zone to work closely together to “identify, develop, and promote” promising investment opportunities, particularly in the petroleum and mining sectors, the cabinet said in a statement.

Petroleum and mineral resources minister Karim Badawi said an inventory of viable investment opportunities in oil, natural gas and mining is being prepared to facilitate their marketing to investors and business leaders, it added.

The golden triangle is home to nearly 95 mineral deposits including gold, phosphates, copper, zinc, lead and limestone.

The gold deposits are officially estimated at 2,000 tonnes, nearly 40 percent of Egypt’s available gold reserves.

The triangle is also home to nearly a billion tonnes of phosphates, more than half Egypt’s reserves of the substance. It also contains 1.5 billion tonnes of glass sand and 230 billion tonnes of limestone, accounting for 30 percent and 40 percent of Egypt’s proven reserves of those two minerals.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
