We have all the news from the second day of the meetings in this morning\u2019s Speed Round, below.<\/p>\n<p><b>Corruption at public sector companies?<\/b> Abu Bakr drew attention to a case in which an office boy was allegedly found to have been taking a salary of EGP 41k per month without breaching any laws (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CXxhz_CYcrw\">watch, runtime: 06:53<\/a>).

Growth is expected to rebound slightly in 2020 to 3.4%, albeit at a slower rate than the 3.6% forecast in April. The IMF attributes the downgrade to a \u201cgeographically broad-based\u201d slump in manufacturing and global trade, driven by an increase in tariffs and a contraction in the auto sector caused in part by new emission standards in the Eurozone and China. The latest outlook was released to coincide with the annual meetings of the IMF and the World Bank, which are taking place this week in Washington, DC.<\/p>\n<p><b>Stimulus in advanced economies and emerging markets has helped mitigate the impact of economic headwinds<\/b>, including the persistence in US-China trade tensions, which alone could be responsible for shaving 0.8% off global growth in 2020. Without this, we could have instead been looking at just 2.5% growth this year and 2.9% in 2020, Gopinath says.<\/p>\n<p><b>The problem remains in advanced economies,<\/b> which are expected to see growth plateau at 1.7% this year and the next. Emerging markets and developing economies will pick up the slack, seeing growth accelerate from 3.9% this year to 4.2% in 2020. \u201cAbout half of this is driven by recoveries or shallower recessions in stressed emerging markets, such as Turkey, Argentina, and Iran, and the rest by recoveries in countries where growth slowed significantly in 2019 relative to 2018, such as Brazil, Mexico, India, Russia, and Saudi Arabia,\u201d the report says.<\/p>\n<p><b>What are the forecasts for Egypt?<\/b> Growth is forecast at 5.5% in 2019, 5.9% in 2020, and 6.0% in 2024. The current account deficit is expected to rise to 3.1% in 2019 before easing to 2.8% in 2020. Meanwhile, the IMF sees inflation rising back to 9.4% by the end of 2019, before falling back to 8.7% by the end of 2020.<\/p>\n<p><b>How does this square with the IMF\u2019s projections in July?<\/b> Making a direct comparison between the latest outlook and the forecast given in the fund\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/10\/13\/imf-out-with-final-review-of-egypts-reform-program\/\">most recent economic review<\/a> is tricky, given that it uses calendar years for the outlook and fiscal years for the review. Nevertheless, there doesn\u2019t seem to have been a drastic change in thinking over the past three months: the IMF predicted Egypt\u2019s GDP would grow 5.9% during the current fiscal year and see inflation reaching 9.6% by the end of the year in June 2020.<\/p>\n<p><b>The IMF wants to agree a post-loan program with Egypt to help it continue on its reform path<\/b>, Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva told Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly on the sidelines of the meetings yesterday, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/EgyptianCabinet\/posts\/1381282698716758\">a cabinet statement<\/a>. She highlighted the need for continued reform of the lower levels of government, and urged Madbouly to continue developing the country\u2019s human capital.

This image shows an analysis by the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/graphics\/what-womens-work-looks-like\/?mod=article_inline&mod=hp_lead_pos5\">Wall Street Journal<\/a> of nearly five decades of US demographic and employment data from <a href=\"https:\/\/cps.ipums.org\/cps\/\">IPUMS-CPS<\/a>. The data shows that some of the biggest moves towards equality have happened in law and finance, with women now holding over 50% of the positions in these fields, although senior roles are still overwhelmingly occupied by men. As occupations grow in prestige and pay, they also tend to lose women over time. And unsurprisingly, fields traditionally seen as nurturing are still mainly dominated by women, and those traditionally seen as physically demanding by men.<\/p>\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\/employment\/\">employment<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/gender\/\">gender<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/image-of-the-day\/\">IMAGE OF THE DAY<\/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=\"594011\" 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=\"594011\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">5<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">EGYPT IN THE NEWS<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/10\/16\/egypt-in-the-news-on-16-october-2019\/\">\r\n                            Egypt in the News on 16 October 2019                        <\/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\/16\/egypt-in-the-news-on-16-october-2019\/\" 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();

Banks will now have to update IScore, in addition to the CBE, on their credit limits on a monthly basis, and ensure that the debtor is not borrowing from more than three different institutions at a time.
