BMI's latest Egypt Automotive Report estimates that the Egyptian automotive market grew by 20.5% in 2006, which is lower than the 25.0% we had forecast in the previous quarter. We lowered our growth estimate on the basis of a tightening monetary policy. Rate hikes have increased the cost of borrowing, hitting the pace of consumer demand.
