variety of econ-related subjects made it to the airwaves last night, which was otherwise unremarkable. (Also: Still no Lamees El Hadidy.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trade and Industry Minister Amr Nassar raised export duties on fertilizers yesterday to EGP 500 per tonne<\/strong>, from EGP 125 currently, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mift.media\/posts\/1863929450342514\">according to a ministry statement<\/a>. The move means to ensure that the local market\u2019s needs of fertilizer are covered and force producers to meet their monthly delivery commitments to the government. <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/07\/16\/agriculture-ministry-could-take-measures-against-subsidized-fertilizer-suppliers-for-missing-monthly-deliveries\/\">We had heard in July<\/a> that the Agriculture Ministry was considering imposing sanctions on suppliers of subsidized fertilizers who have fallen behind on their monthly deliveries, creating a shortage in the market. Manufacturers had said, however, that they lose as much as EGP 250 per tonne on government contract, which has led them to focus more on exports lately. Manufacturers are required to sell 55% of their production to the government.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Agriculture Ministry spokesperson Hamed Abdel Dayem defended the decision<\/strong>, saying that manufacturers had not been meeting their quotas. He added that this had driven up market prices of produce as farmers turned to the black market for fertilizers. The Agriculture Ministry is developing estimates on governorate-level demand for fertilizers to set up a quota system, he told Hona Al Asema (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7jesqZbvAC0\">watch, runtime: 6:36<\/a>). The Federation of Egyptian Industries sees that the move would have the desired effect, the head of its chemicals division Sherif El Gabaly phoned-in to say. He called on farmers and producers to get together to more accurately gauge demand and come to a consensus on the quantities they should be given and at what prices (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=B76buOkypBw\">watch, runtime: 7:15<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>On to housing<\/strong>, where the New Urban Communities Authority (NUCA) approved a one year penalty-free extension for developers on new cities who have finished 95% of a project, but need more time to reach the finish line, NUCA deputy head Tarek Al Sebaay told Hona Al Asema. The decision will made a matter of record in the Official Gazette in a little over a week, he says (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Pi5tX3GOb_E\">watch, runtime: 9:59<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pharma shortages scares are back on the airwaves<\/strong>, with the head of pharma division of the Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce, Ali Aouf, telling Yahduth fi Masr that some 150 meds, including insulin, are in short supply. In a bid to push for more local manufacturing, Aouf blamed the problem on a lack of a generic alternatives to brand-name products (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/YahdothFiMasr\/videos\/688965074816786\/\">watch, runtime: 3:58<\/a>). Health Ministry official Rasha Zeyada denied there is an insulin shortage, saying that most pharmacies are well stocked (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tm6z80waNdo\">watch, runtime: 8:33<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Environment Ministry\u2019s delusions that air pollution is under control is actually quite disturbing.<\/strong> The Environment Ministry\u2019s September study on levels of air pollution in Cairo and Delta region are \u201cpositive\u201d and indicate that the ministry's policies have been working, Masaa DMC\u2019s Osama Kamal said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vJnKAEh3eVE\">watch, runtime: 2:04<\/a>). These \u201cpositive results\u201d were a direct result of the agriculture and environment ministry's efforts to reduce the area of rice cultivation, clamp down on the burning of rice straw, and using rice straw as an alternative fuel in cement plants, Environment Ministry official Mostafa Mourad told Kamal (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NKrj2cupVhA\">watch, runtime: 2:42<\/a>). We suppose that by sidestepping mention of soot, smog, car pollution, factory pollution, waste disposal, construction, or any other of the myriad of things that cause air pollution, things are indeed quite positive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kamal also discussed the last round of water prices hikes <\/strong>with Water Holding Company chairman Mamdouh Raslan, who urged water rationing (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eda0uNpF1lk\">watch, runtime: 4:40<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The K-6 component of the Education Ministry\u2019s curriculum reforms <\/strong>were looked at by Hona Al Asema\u2019s Dina Zahraa (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2rN1RF5_Vac\">watch, runtime: 30:31<\/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\/enterprise-last-nights-talk-shows\/\">Enterprise+: Last Night\u2019s Talk Shows<\/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=\"624804\" 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=\"624804\">\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\/2018\/09\/19\/could-the-emerging-markets-sell-off-close-the-fall-ipo-window-earlier-than-expected\/\">\r\n                            Could the emerging markets sell-off close the fall IPO window earlier than expected?

<\/strong>Private sector players including education outfit <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/08\/28\/cira-announces-plans-to-list-37-48-stake-on-the-egx\/\">CIRA<\/a>, consumer and structured finance provider <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/08\/28\/sarwa-capital-to-list-40-of-its-shares-by-early-4q2018\/\">Sarwa Capital<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/06\/24\/rameda-to-offer-up-to-45-of-its-shares-on-egx\/\">Rameda Pharma<\/a> are all exploring fall IPOs, and as many as <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/09\/18\/egypt-on-track-to-sell-stakes-from-five-state-owned-companies-before-years-end-share-prices-to-range-within-10-of-market-average\/\">five state-owned companies<\/a> are expected to tap the EGX before the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Appetite for the share sales will shed light on the odds Egypt can withstand the EM crisis if it gets any deeper.<\/strong> Some analysts believe that the government \u201cwas stretching the ability of banks managing the offerings and the appetites of investors\u201d with its targets for the privatization program, from which it hopes to raise EGP 10 bn by the end of FY2018-19. Private sector offerings could surpass that, says Beltone\u2019s Mohamed Elakhdar, who believes that \u201cpeople are viewing Egypt differently than the rest of emerging markets.\u201d CI Capital\u2019s Hany Farahat agreed that the appetite exists, but that \u201cthe key challenge is related to the process, how these transactions have to be structured and marketed to investors. This is what could make them a big success or failure.\u201d Both firms are advising on IPOs due to tap the market this fall.<\/p>\n<p>All of this comes as <strong>sentiment on global growth is at its worst level since December 2011. <\/strong>Investor sentiment on global economic growth has \u201cworsened significantly,\u201d according to a Bank of America Merrill Lynch report, which found that investors have been <strong>trimming exposure to EM in favour of cash holdings<\/strong>. Some 24% of those surveyed in the report, which was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-funds-survey-baml\/investors-raise-cash-buffers-as-gloom-gathers-over-global-economy-baml-survey-idUSKCN1LY1HB?il=0\">picked up by Reuters<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/2af0f5aa-bb2b-11e8-94b2-17176fbf93f5\">Financial Times<\/a>, believe that global growth will slow down in the coming year, with a looming trade war between the US and China being the main risk factor. Other factors driving the negative outlook include the persistence of the emerging market sell-off and the uncertainty European markets face after Brexit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wait \u2014 it gets worse: <\/strong>The boss of Emirates airlines thinks <strong>we\u2019re looking at a mini-financial crisis within 2-3 years<\/strong> as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-09-18\/global-economy-to-witness-a-major-reset-emirates-clark-says?srnd=premium-middle-east\">there is going to be a major reset<\/a>.\u201d Celebrity hedge fund boss Ray Dalio agrees, saying it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/ray-dalio-bridgewater-debt-crisis-downturn-coming-about-two-years-2018-9\">feels a lot like 1937 at the moment<\/a> and that a downturn is coming in the next two years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The silver lining? <\/strong>The EM Zombie Apocalypse is overdone, Goldman Sachs Asset Management has signalled by

Although rising tensions in countries across the Middle East have a \u201cdirect impact\u201d on Egypt, they also pose challenges to greater security issues, such as border control, curbing illegal migration, and combating terrorism. Middle Eastern states are also quite interdependent on one and other, Shoukry also points out, noting that the resolution of conflict is key to achieving regional stability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Topping Egypt\u2019s regional agenda is reconciliation between Palestine\u2019s rival factions <\/strong>Fatah and Hamas, which Shoukry says is a prerequisite to Arab-Israeli peace. Shoukry reaffirmed Egypt\u2019s commitment to the Arab peace initiative and stance on the Trump administration\u2019s \u201cunilateral\u201d decision to officially recognize Jerusalem as a capital of Israel. He also stressed that a diplomatic solution was the only way forward, for the conflict with Israel, as well as the situation in Syria (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/videos\/2018-09-18\/egypt-s-foreign-minister-discusses-middle-east-peace-efforts-video\">watch here, runtime: 17:38<\/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-foreign-trade\/\">Diplomacy + Foreign Trade<\/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=\"624823\" 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=\"624823\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">8<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Energy<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/09\/19\/empower-signs-contract-with-el-beheira-electricity-distribution-company-to-sell-electricity-from-waste\/\">\r\n                            Empower signs contract with El Beheira Electricity Distribution Company to sell electricity from waste                        <\/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\/09\/19\/empower-signs-contract-with-el-beheira-electricity-distribution-company-to-sell-electricity-from-waste\/\" 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();
