Malpass<\/b> dominated the nation\u2019s airwaves last night. Also creating buzz (to a much lesser extent): The Arab Economic Forum in Beirut. We have chapter and verse on both in this morning\u2019s Speed Round, below.<\/p>\n<p><b>Malpass praised Egypt\u2019s economic reform program<\/b> and said the mega-projects underway will provide extra catalysts for growth, Al Hayah Al Youm\u2019s Lobna Assal said. Assal also took note of Malpass\u2019 visit to the Investment Ministry\u2019s Investor Service Center (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LJJNm-o2Z9k\">watch, runtime: 2:21<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><b>Color commentary:<\/b> Hona Al Asema\u2019s Reham Ibrahim phoned Cairo University finance professor Hisham Ibrahimfor his two cents. Ibrahim praised the bank\u2019s relationship with Egypt and lauded its role in the country\u2019s economic reform program. He also pointed out that Malpass\u2019 visit came only a few days after the bank renewed its partnership program with Cairo, making it an \u201cespecially important\u201d time (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EzhQPtE31_0\">watch, runtime: 9:27<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><b>Fresh start for Cairo and Beirut? <\/b>Agreements signed between Egypt and Lebanon during the Arab Economic Forum in Beirut represent \u201ca shift in relations and cooperation\u201d between the two countries, Cabinet Spokesman Nader Saad separately told Assal (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RyK-R7g7GLk\">watch, runtime: 2:20<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><b>In miscellany on the airwaves: <\/b>El Sisi is set to inaugurate today four tunnels in Ismailia and Port Said, Assal reported. The tunnels should reduce the time it takes to cross the Suez Canal into and from Sinai to ten minutes or less (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DxolthGBFm0&pbjreload=10\">watch, runtime: 4:51<\/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\/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\/infrastructure\/\">infrastructure<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/investment-watch\/\">investment watch<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/lebanon\/\">Lebanon<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/smes\/\">SMEs<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/world-bank\/\">World Bank<\/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=\"597767\" 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=\"597767\">\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\/05\/05\/new-world-bank-president-visits-egypt\/\">\r\n                            New World Bank president visits Egypt                        <\/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\/05\/05\/new-world-bank-president-visits-egypt\/\" 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();
