Other factors likely to support the current prices are high inflation and rapid increases in petrol prices, leading to the rising cost of construction materials. The current oversupply is also likely to prevent the major developers from launching new projects, which will further support the current prices.

popular topic on the airwaves last night.<\/p>\n<p><b>Output from the Zohr natural gas field is expected to reach 3 bcf\/d this year<\/b>, Oil Ministry spokesman Hamdy Abdel Aziz told Al Hayah Al Youm\u2019s Lobna Assal. The development of Zohr and several other fields, including the Nooros and Atoll, helped Egypt achieve natural gas self-sufficiency and halt LNG imports last year, Abdel Aziz noted (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nzXr5mb_U2Q\">watch, runtime: 03:42<\/a>). Egypt\u2019s gas resources and its plans to construct a pipeline with Cyprus make it the ideal candidate to become the region\u2019s premier energy hub, former EGPC deputy head Medhat Youssef told Hona Al Asema\u2019s Lama Gebril (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nfZ4skcbTrc\">watch, runtime: 04:39<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><b>The military production and endowments ministries have begun outfitting mosques with water-saving taps<\/b> to cut down on water consumption, Military Production Minister Mohamed El Assar said on Al Hayah Al Youm. The taps, which retail for EGP 40 apiece, reduce consumption by up to 75%, El Assar said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=D6kyXbJWFww\">watch, runtime: 08:47<\/a>). This comes in line with the Irrigation Ministry\u2019s efforts to make the most out of the country\u2019s water resources by reducing consumption, Irrigation Minister Mohamed Abdel Atti said on Masaa DMC (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IlET1fiADPs\">watch, runtime: 03:07<\/a>). The minister also discussed the pros and cons of desalination as a means of increasing water resources (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Q_40dkXfG-Q\">watch, runtime: 03:28<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><b>Public Enterprises Minister Hisham Tawfik had a chat about Eastern Company\u2019s upcoming stake sale<\/b>, which he reminded Hona Al Asema\u2019s Lama Gebril was postponed until the company\u2019s share price recovers from its plunge late last year (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tIxNR7fmHck\">watch, runtime: 02:49<\/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\/eastern-company\/\">Eastern Company<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/energy\/\">energy<\/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\/state-privatization-program\/\">state privatization program<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/water\/\">water<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/zohr-field\/\">Zohr Field<\/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=\"599518\" 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=\"599518\">\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\/01\/02\/egypt-to-receive-the-fifth-tranche-of-imf-facility-this-month\/\">\r\n                            Egypt to receive the fifth tranche of IMF facility this month                        <\/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\/01\/02\/egypt-to-receive-the-fifth-tranche-of-imf-facility-this-month\/\" 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();
