Civil society is also important, Ghoneim told Adib, urging the government to work on reconciliation with NGOs and release wrongfully detained activists such as Hossam Mo'nes and Shadi Ghazali Harb <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uRVbeqJwgbM\">(watch, runtime: 2:01)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Former professor Kais Saied has been elected as Tunisia\u2019s new president<\/b>, Abu Bakr noted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=or9rI3kZ7hY\">(watch, runtime: 02:25)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/civil-society\/\">civil society<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/diplomacy\/\">DIPLOMACY<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/enterprise-last-nights-talk-shows\/\">Enterprise+: Last Night\u2019s Talk Shows<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/politics\/\">politics<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/syria\/\">Syria<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/turkey\/\">Turkey<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"593952\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"593952\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">3<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Speed Round<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/10\/15\/finmin-finalizes-universal-healthcare-tithe\/\">\r\n                            FinMin finalizes universal healthcare tithe                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/10\/15\/finmin-finalizes-universal-healthcare-tithe\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

The system is currently funded by a new 0.25% tithe on revenues imposed on all companies.<\/p>\n<p><b>The ministry acknowledged that the changes are being made after pressure from industry associations<\/b>, including the Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce (which has the rather unfortunate acronym FEDCOC), the Cairo Chamber of Commerce and the Union of Egyptian Investors Associations.<\/p>\n<p><b>What was business asking for? <\/b>We had said back in March that lobby groups including the Federation of Egyptian Industries had proposed new mechanisms including that the 0.25% tithe on revenues (which is not tax deductible) be replaced with a 1% surtax on net profit.<\/p>\n<p><b>The ministry\u2019s proposal will now be reviewed by cabinet <\/b>before it heads to the House of Representatives for debate. In a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mof.gov.eg\/Arabic\/MOFNews\/Media\/Pages\/release14-10-2019.aspx\">separate statement<\/a> yesterday, the ministry said the new system is heavily endorsed by the nation\u2019s political leadership.<\/p>\n<p><b>Background: <\/b>Two government sources <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/09\/17\/egypt-mulls-amending-corporate-healthcare-tithe-to-impose-egp-10k-cap-across-the-board\/\">had told us<\/a> in September that the amendments would see the 0.25% tithe on revenues capped at EGP 10k per company. Loss-making companies will not be exempt from the payment. The ministry had previously suggested imposing the cap at EGP 100k, but brought the figure down to EGP 10k when the proposal met with backlash from the business community. The government began rolling out its EGP 600 bn health insurance plan in Port Said in July, and more governorates will be added gradually over the course of the next 11-13 years.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/legislation\/\">legislation<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/speed-round\/\">SPEED ROUND<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/universal-healthcare-act\/\">Universal Healthcare Act<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"593961\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"593962\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"593962\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">THE MACRO PICTURE<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/10\/15\/world-entering-synchronized-stagnation-say-ft-brookings\/\">\r\n                            World entering \u201csynchronized stagnation,\u201d say FT, Brookings                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/10\/15\/world-entering-synchronized-stagnation-say-ft-brookings\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

It examines the role of hierarchy in team collaboration, using a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_goods_game#Implications\">public-goods game<\/a> \u2014 a standard of experimental economics that assesses the individual propensity to contribute to a group, in a situation where a person could potentially benefit from freeriding on the contributions of others \u2014 and adding key variables. In one game, the group was divided into \u201cmanagers\u201d and \u201cworkers,\u201d with the managers subject to different rules than the workers, and the rules themselves varying from round to round. The results were then compared to those from a game in which there was no hierarchy.<\/p>\n<p><b>The takeaway: Giving more incentives at the top of the pyramid and more work at the bottom is dangerous.<\/b> Ultimately, the study supported the idea that, while the mere presence of managers can boost team collaboration and individual contributions, providing special incentives to managers can have an overall dampening effect on performance. Workers are less inclined to be collaborative when they feel they undertake a disproportionate amount of work and receive fewer benefits than their managers. More worryingly, the study also found the managers benefitting from their incentives in \u201csneaky\u201d ways when they had discretion over the amount they could receive from group contributions, shortchanging the workers.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/economics\/\">economics<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/worth-reading\/\">worth reading<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"593969\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"593969\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">8<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Energy<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/10\/15\/ebrd-could-invest-usd-60-mn-in-infinity-solar-projects\/\">\r\n                            EBRD could invest USD 60 mn in Infinity Solar projects                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/10\/15\/ebrd-could-invest-usd-60-mn-in-infinity-solar-projects\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
