That\u2019s one day more than in 2017 \u2014 and about 2x what Davide tells us is the long-term average of 8.6 days per calendar year in Italy, our nearest Mediterranean sibling. (And all of that is before you count days on which your staff \u201cbridged\u201d a holiday.)<\/p><p><strong>Keep the faith: <\/strong>The EGX30 closed down 1.5% on Thursday.

Expect the durability of the \u201congoing recovery\u201d from the financial crisis and prospects for the \u201cnext crisis\u201d to be high on the minds of attendants. You can check out the landing page for the meetings, which go on until Sunday, 14 October, <a href=\"https:\/\/meetings.imf.org\/en\/2018\/Annual\">here<\/a>.<\/p><p><strong>Finance Minister Mohamed Maait and Vice Minister of Finance Ahmed Kouchouk are in Bali<\/strong> for the meetings.<\/p><p><strong>Egypt is using the meetings to test appetite in Asia for an upcoming USD 5 bn <\/strong>eurobond offering.

palm tree plantations in New Valley\u2019s El Rashida village was the talk of the town. <\/strong>There were no casualties but the fire did threaten to spread to nearby residential areas, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-egypt-fire\/fire-hits-palm-plantation-in-egypts-new-valley-37-hurt-report-idUSKCN1MG076\">according to Reuters<\/a>. Rep. Daoud Suleiman told Masaa DMC that 53 people were taken to hospital after the fire. He said that it will take up to a fortnight to fully extinguish the blaze. The governor in New Valley held a meeting with villagers in the area to discuss how to handle similar situations in the future, he also said, adding that the government intends to compensate farmers (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=opMZ6qjgI7E\">watch, runtime: 14: 21<\/a>).

Shawky himself phoned in to confirm that the plan has run into resistance. He reassured Adib, though, that schoolbooks have been delivered, noting that new measures have been introduced to prevent private school suppliers from price gouging, to the disgruntlement of some employees (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=biBxjcA2nJA\">watch, runtime: 4:03<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Worst job in the history of bad jobs: Listening to our countrymen complain about the private sector. <\/strong>The Consumer Protection Authority (CPA) will be operating out of kiosks in the capital city\u2019s major public squares for today only to listen to consumer complaints, CPA boss Reda Abdel Moaty told Hona Al Asema. The outlets will operate from 8am CLT until midnight (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bg_2Ow_N754\">watch, runtime: 6:40<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also addressing the disgruntled last night was the director of the cabinet\u2019s complaints division<\/strong>, Tarek El Refai, who spoke to Hona Al Asema\u2019s Lama Gebriel about a new system for listening to citizens\u2019 grips. Most voters\u2019 complaints seem to be about garbage, because that was the one topic on El Refai\u2019s brain last night. He said that those need to be accompanied with photographic evidence (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yQdg08od_cc\">watch, runtime: 29: 37<\/a>). <strong>We can help, Mr. Tarek\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gebriel also spoke to the head of the Finance Ministry\u2019s macro-fiscal division<\/strong>, Sarah Eid, about the explanatory booklet that the ministry publishes every year to help simplify the state budget for citizens (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Kndh8bFnYRg\">watch, runtime: 21: 51<\/a>)..<\/p>\n<p><strong>President Abdel Fattah El Sisi\u2019s Armed Forces Day speech: <\/strong>The president delivered a nine-minute speech on the occasion of 6 October in which he recounted the events leading up to the war.

The policy would outline options and set the framework through which the finance minister can adopt hedging strategies without further straining the state budget. The policy package would also allow the minister to create a government-affiliated unit that would track commodity prices as part of the hedging strategy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Global oil prices rose at a much faster pace than the government initially expected, <\/strong>the source also told us. Finance Minister Mohamed Maait <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/09\/26\/shrugging-off-rising-oil-prices-the-finance-ministry-shelves-its-fuel-hedging-plan\/\">had said last month<\/a> that plans to sign fuel hedging contracts with global banks, widely believed to be JP Morgan and Citibank, had been temporarily shelved and would be killed entirely if global oil prices were to stabilize. <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/10\/04\/fuel-subsidy-bill-could-overshoot-to-egp-100-bn-in-fy2018-19\/\">Last week<\/a>, however, sources told us that government is now expecting its fuel subsidy bill for FY2018-19 to jump to EGP 100 bn, up from an initial projection of EGP 89 bn, after Brent crude prices surged beyond the USD 80\/bbl mark to reach a four-year high.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deficit reduction target under pressure: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/10\/03\/global-oil-rally-threatens-to-derail-budget-deficit-change-inflation-outlook\/\">According to Bloomberg<\/a>, every USD 1 increase above the budgeted oil price of USD 67\/bbl adds EGP 4 bn (USD 222 mn) to the state\u2019s annual outlay, possibly preventing the government from hitting its budget deficit target of 8.4% for the fiscal year. A government source had told us earlier this month that the gap is likely to come in at something closer to 8.6%. All of this comes as some analysts are tipping crude to break the USD 100\/bbl mark amid a US-driven ban on Iranian oil.<\/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\/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=\"622602\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"622603\" 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=\"622603\">\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\">Up Next<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/10\/08\/what-were-tracking-this-week-and-beyond-65\/\">\r\n                            What we\u2019re tracking this week and beyond                        <\/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\/10\/08\/what-were-tracking-this-week-and-beyond-65\/\" 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();
