Egypt rides resurgent wave for emerging market borrowing:
"For Amr El-Garhy, Egypt’s minister of finance, winning over international bond investors meant convincing them that last year’s sharp currency devaluation marked a turning point for the country’s economy. The former investment banker led a lengthy roadshow for a $4bn sale, which took him to Dubai, New York, Los Angeles, Boston and London, to pitch Egypt as a viable addition to investor portfolios. By the time bankers closed their books on the deal last week, more than 790 bondholder accounts had placed orders of some $13.5bn. The figure suggests that Mr El-Garhy successfully sold the story of a country willing to enact long-resisted reforms and heal an economy that has struggled to attract international money since the 2011 Arab Spring uprising."
