The tithe being collected this year will apply to revenues earned between 12 July and 31 December 2018.<\/p>\n<p><b>The tax will not be charged on individual company subsidiaries<\/b> or those with a special legal system. Temporary insurance and down payments will also not be considered as part of revenues unless the payment ends up in a company\u2019s top line.<\/p>\n<p><b>How will outliers be taxed?<\/b> Insurers, hotels and commission-based businesses asked for the ministry to grant them special status and relax their obligations under the act. These requests by and large appear not have been met. Insurance companies will be taxed like all other businesses, despite their best lobbying efforts to receive partial exemptions. Hoteliers, too, will see the tithe applied to their total revenue. Commission-based businesses, though, will be taxed only on their income from commissions rather than on their total turnover \u2014 a measure that frankly makes sense.<\/p>\n<p><b>Background: <\/b>The state\u2019s EGP 600 bn health insurance plan will be rolled out incrementally over the course of 11-13 years, but the ministry is expected to start collecting taxes (including the 0.25% tithe) to fund the scheme this fiscal year. Tax Authority head Abdel Azim Hussein<a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/04\/08\/egypts-healthcare-tithe-this-year-will-definitely-be-on-topline\/\">told us earlier this week<\/a> that the Finance Ministry was working on an amendment to the Universal Healthcare Act to be introduced in the future.

Over the past 10 years, investors have been inclined to base their decisions on EM bond indices, which have quadrupled to USD 800 bn, the FT noted.<\/p>\n<p><b>The IMF warned that benchmark-driven investments are more vulnerable to global changes<\/b>, like decisions made by the US Federal Reserve or the exchange rate. \u201cA larger share of benchmark-driven investments in total portfolio flows could increase the risk of excessive inflows or outflows unrelated to countries\u2019 economic fundamentals and could, in some cases, have destabilising effects,\u201d the fund said.<\/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\/emerging-markets\/\">emerging markets<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/imf\/\">IMF<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/the-macro-picture\/\">THE MACRO PICTURE<\/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=\"602992\" 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=\"602992\">\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\">Image of the Day<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/04\/11\/satellite-images-capture-reality-of-climate-change\/\">\r\n                            Satellite images capture reality of climate change                        <\/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\/04\/11\/satellite-images-capture-reality-of-climate-change\/\" 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();

Egypt\u2019s macroeconomic situation has markedly improved, and has maintained macroeconomic stability thanks to the government\u2019s implementation, with all of June 2018 and December 2018 performance targets having been fully met, with the exception of June\u2019s public debt figures. The outlook on <b>fiscal reforms<\/b> remains positive as Egypt looks set to follow through on fuel and electricity cuts, while the <b>account deficit<\/b> continues to fall on the back of a strong resurgence in tourism and contributing to a 0.2% <b>primary budget surplus<\/b>. <b>Inflation <\/b>is expected to stabilize to 13-14% by the end of the fiscal year in June. All of this bodes well for Egypt in its fifth IMF review of the reform program in June, which will unlock the final USD 2 bn disbursement of the extended fund facility.<\/p>\n<p><b>There are risks, however: <\/b>Government debt remains high and is projected to reach 86% of GDP by the end of FY2018-19. Debt service poses a burden on public finances at the risk of crowding out social spending. The IMF worries that sizeable state debt is being taken on to fund massive infrastructure projects. It also warns against an increase in real interest rates or an abrupt depreciation of the EGP.
