the airwaves last night to dispel rumors that he had called for the abolishment of unpaid public education<\/strong>. According to the minister, he had told MPs during a closed-door meeting that the country\u2019s education system is inherently flawed because it requires parents to spend large amounts of money on private lessons, which negates the benefits of providing schooling without charge. Shawki also stressed that his comments, which he said were taken out of context, were not meant to be on the record. He also phoned in to Masaa DMC and El Hekaya to say the same (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yarntBCQjfs\">watch, runtime: 9: 52<\/a>) and (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tNsJvtCVRBM\">watch, runtime: 16:57<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Taxpayers have until the end of the day today to pay overdue taxes and be exempted from 90% of late fees,<\/strong> Tax Authority official Saeed Fouad told Al Hayah Al Youm.

Survey participants expect the CBE will leave its overnight deposit rate and overnight lending at 16.75% and 17.75%, respectively, at the 15 November meeting, 10 economists said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Look beyond inflation: It\u2019s all about stemming outflows of hot money. <\/strong>Say what you want about higher-than-expected inflation in October: The economists we surveyed see the central bank moving to ease pressure on the EGP by giving hot-money investors more incentive to stay in Egypt. All 10 analysts polled say stemming the tide of outflows in a turbulent period for emerging markets would drive policy this Thursday: EM turbulence and a strong USD will keep interest rates on hold, said Ahmed Shams El Din, head of research at EFG Hermes. Multiples Group\u2019s Omar El-Shenety takes it one step further, saying that protecting the EGP and the exchange rate is now among the CBE\u2019s top policy priorities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Just to keep it in perspective<\/strong>, foreign holdings in Egypt\u2019s treasuries fell to USD 13.1 bn by the end of September, from a high of USD 21.5 bn in March, said Pharos Holding head of research Radwa El Swaify. Egypt has basically lost USD 8.4 bn in outflows between April and September, she noted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spike in inflation should not be cause for concern: <\/strong>Most of the analysts with whom we spoke underplayed the spike in annual headline inflation, which rose to <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/11\/11\/monthly-annual-headline-inflation-accelerate-again-in-october\/\">17.5% in October<\/a>, up from 16% the previous month on the back of hikes in vegetable prices and school fees, state statistics agency CAPMAS said over the weekend. Despite headline inflation being well above the CBE\u2019s announced target of 13% (+\/-3%) by 4Q2018, \u201cthe elevated headline inflation readings over the past few months, including October\u2019s, come against a largely benign underlying inflation position,\u201d EFG Hermes said in a research note on Sunday. \u201cWe don\u2019t see the rise in annual headline inflation as alarming, as it is driven by seasonal factors that will subside,\u201d said lead economist at Beltone Financial Alia Mamdouh.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Annual core inflation rose to 8.86% in October<\/strong> from 8.55% in September, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbe.org.eg\/en\/EconomicResearch\/Statistics\/Pages\/Inflation.aspx\">the CBE said on Sunday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much longer will we live with high interest rates?<\/strong> Beltone\u2019s Mamdouh sees corridor rates remaining on hold until 1H2019. Pharos\u2019 El Swaify expects the CBE will keep interest rates on hold until 3Q2019, to ensure that the emerging market turbulence has settled and that the impact of the subsidy cuts widely expected in July 2019 has passed. Capital Economics\u2019 Jason Tuvey wouldn\u2019t be drawn into the guessing game, declining to specify a timeframe, but pointing out that rates will have to come down in the longer term.<\/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\/central-bank-of-egypt\/\">Central Bank of Egypt<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/inflation\/\">inflation<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/interest-rates\/\">interest rates<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/monetary-policy\/\">monetary policy<\/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                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"621562\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"621563\" 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=\"621563\">\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\">EGYPT IN THE NEWS<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/11\/12\/the-foreign-press-has-nothing-to-say-about-egypt\/\">\r\n                            The foreign press has nothing to say about 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\/2018\/11\/12\/the-foreign-press-has-nothing-to-say-about-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();

Governments in the GCC are well aware of the rising importance of SMEs in contributing to economic growth and creating jobs, but the sector\u2019s contribution to overall GDP remains small when considering its potential. While the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the region is beginning to see the establishment incubators, accelerators, and other tools to promote growth in the industry, Al Lawati sees an increasingly pressing need for institutional reforms to allow entrepreneurship to flourish in the GCC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It all starts with education... <\/strong>Entrepreneurs often gain access to startup workshops and other initiatives geared toward providing relevant information after having \u201calready missed out on a lot of preparation\u201d during the early stages of education. Public schools must begin shifting away from syllabi geared towards rote memorization in favor for a holistic system that promotes independent thinking and a problem-solving approach, Al Lawati says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>...But legal and regulatory reforms are just as crucial.<\/strong> The introduction of the limited liability concept is imperative in the GCC, where bankruptcy remains grounds for imprisonment. \u201cWe find it difficult to embrace failure as part of any learning journey. Culturally, we are not very tolerant of failure, but this is only a very small part of the real issue at hand \u2026 The capitalist system has thrived on the concept of limited liability, whereby the risk that you take with a venture is limited to that which has been contributed into the venture, and nothing more. However, we have not implemented this truly into our corporate law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Startups are also faced with the unnecessary operational costs<\/strong>, such as paying to rent a working space that governments see as a requirement for any business in any stage of development, despite the fact that many small businesses do not need a physical office. Al Lawati says it is far more practical to introduce corporate taxes, which would not be applicable to ventures in their early phases or those that are incurring losses.<\/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\/economy\/\">economy<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/entrepreneurship\/\">entrepreneurship<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/gcc\/\">GCC<\/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\/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=\"621565\" 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=\"621565\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">6<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Worth watching<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/11\/12\/methanex-egypt-ilo-help-damietta-women-grow-small-businesses\/\">\r\n                            Methanex Egypt, ILO help Damietta women grow small businesses                        <\/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\/2018\/11\/12\/methanex-egypt-ilo-help-damietta-women-grow-small-businesses\/\" 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();

In collaboration with the International Labor Organization Cairo and the National Council for Women, the trainings focused on ways women can expand and grow their already operating businesses as well as business management training to help them develop a successful business model and plan. The one-month training program also included risk management and problem-solving classes for women who ran businesses in the past, but were forced to shut down in the face of obstacles. Participants also brainstormed ideas of how to tackle challenges in customer service, finance and logistics.
