REGULATION WATCH- The government is inviting ride-hailing companies to come in for a talk about the executive regulations of the Ride-Hailing Apps Act, Masrawy reported. The regulations were made official in September after winning cabinet approval and being published in the Official Gazette, and the meetings now taking place are about bringing the regulations into effect. They cover everything from registration to licensing, taxes and social insurance — stipulating that all licensed ride-hailing companies must show their drivers are meeting their social insurance payments in accordance with the law. The provisions also mandate that ride-sharing companies share their full data sets with the state.
