Comparison of November and September #Egypt central bank comments... removes reference to policy rates being function of future inflation, acknowledges upcoming negative base effects, adds comment on providing 'appropriate support to economic activity'

@CNsekela @RencapMan Not particularly... SOE IPO plans have been stalling again so this is a good time to drum up enthusiasm etc... and investors always worried about overreach of the Army in the market

President Sisi says Egyptian Army companies should list on the stock exchange... it is important for Egyptians to participate & contribute to these

@tekaldas @AllisonLMcManus @amnesty @Reuters @jmalsin @afekki @WSJ Could you post a link to some of these reports? Would be much appreciated.

@RencapMan fair, but that would surely exacerbate the use of havens?!

[Paul Blower @paulhblower]

@RencapMan .....and so domestic pressure in Europe/US for politicians to have to act would be greater....? though no obvious policy solution

[Paul Blower @paulhblower]

@RencapMan ..because the public might feel more 'connected' to the tax affairs of (e.g.) a supermarket CEO, rather than Lionel Messi/Putin?!

[Paul Blower @paulhblower]

@RencapMan don't you think the full release of companies involved in Mossack (due in May) will be more important than this first release?...

@HassanRouhani @RencapMan An interesting crossover of future significant frontier markets??! Maybe Georgian-made Kia cars will go to Iran?

[Paul Blower @paulhblower]

@paulhblower @RencapMan Surprising since we assume Iran is better educated? It is similarly ranked for other education questions

Brilliant to hear @DavidLammy is running for mayor. A long time since we met but I introduced one of your book talks!
