Finance Ministry adviser Fathy Shaaban told Hona Al Asema this is not a new levy and it has already been in place since 1978, noting that the amendments only seek to enforce payment of the tax (<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SUD32e_8x-o\">watch, runtime: 10:22<\/a><\/u>). We have more on the amendments in the Speed Round below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly\u2019s planned address to the House of Representatives today took up time on the airwaves. <\/strong>MP Mohamed Badrawy told Masaa DMC\u2019s Eman Al Hosary that a House committee will be formed to review the plan within 10 days. Badrawy added that the House will request that the government provide a detailed plan on how it will implement its social welfare provisions every three months (<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BF_WIgxxVSs\">watch, runtime: 3:47<\/a><\/u>).

Al Hayah fi Masr\u2019s Kamal Mady sat with MP Soliman Wahdan who expects parliament to grant the new Madbouly cabinet a vote confidence and approve the plan (<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2lD0xxMne5U\">watch, runtime: 4:44<\/a><\/u>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Will social housing be marketed to non-Egyptians?<\/strong> Madbouly appears to have met with private sector developers to pitch them on taking part in low- and middle-income housing projects. Perhaps on if the most interesting aspects of the meeting was the suggestion that developers could sell social housing to non-Egyptian residents, Al Ahly for Real Estate Development chairman Hussein Sabbour tells Hona Al Asema in a call in. If implemented, foreigners would be able to acquire homes at a cost of around USD 400k and receive a five-year residence permit. He said such move his will generate foreign currency and dismissed the notion that it would raise real estate prices for Egyptians (<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WO1TgjNeOE0\">watch, runtime: 13:53<\/a><\/u>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The debate on raising med prices is back and has taken center stage on the airwaves (or: What\u2019s a bit of hyperbole among friends). <\/strong>Masaa DMC\u2019s Eman Al Hosary said that some 10k pharmacies are facing the threat of closure due to their low profit margin. Pharmacists syndicate member George Attallah said that 50% of Egypt\u2019s pharmacies, particularly those in rural areas, make less than EGP 1,000 in sales daily with a profit margin of only EGP 150-200 (<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VQY912RCcLQ\">watch, runtime: 7:36<\/a><\/u>).

The institution singled out recent fuel subsidy cuts for particular praise: \u201cThe continued fuel subsidy reform contributes to reducing the budget deficit and makes available more resources for social programs to support the most vulnerable,\u201d the IMF <u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imf.org\/en\/News\/Articles\/2018\/07\/02\/pr18271-egypt-board-completes-3rd-review-under-eff\">said in a statement yesterday<\/a><\/u>. The IMF said Egypt\u2019s reform program has helped accelerate growth, cut inflation and unemployment, and narrow external and fiscal deficits. The positive review will unlock the next USD 2 bn disbursement of the USD 12 bn extended fund facility. Egypt expects to receive the transder this week, Finance Minister Mohamed Maait <u><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/07\/02\/egypt-to-receive-fourth-tranche-of-imf-loan-next-week-following-boards-approval\/\">said over the weekend<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The IMF warned that the CBE needs to continue tightening monetary policy <\/strong>in the wake of the latest subsidy cuts. \u201cThe Central Bank of Egypt should maintain its restrictive stance to contain second\u2011round effects of fuel and electricity price increases, with future policy changes guided by inflation expectations and demand pressures,\u201d IMF First Deputy Managing Director and Acting Chair David Lipton said yesterday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Global Emerging Markets Zombie Apocalypse is the biggest threat to Egypt\u2019s reform drive, IMF says:<\/strong> Remember the days when domestic foot-dragging was the biggest problem we faced? No more: Political risk has been supplanted by the turbulent global economy as the biggest risk to the continued implementations of reforms, the IMF says. It sees outflows of global capital from emerging markets as particularly concerning. <strong>The good news is that Egypt is well equipped to adapt.<\/strong> \u201cThe healthy level of foreign reserves and flexible exchange rate leaves Egypt well positioned to manage any acceleration in outflows, but this reinforces the importance of a sound macroeconomic framework and consistent policy implementation,\u201d said Lipton.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The IMF now sees Egypt\u2019s economy growing at a 5.5% clip<\/strong> by the end of FY2018-19, up from a projected 5.2% in FY2017-18. The IMF also expects inflation to reach 13.1% by the end of the fiscal year, and average out at 14.4%.<\/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\/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=\"626478\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"626479\" 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=\"626479\">\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\/2018\/07\/03\/10-penguins-are-now-chilling-at-mall-of-egypt\/\">\r\n                            10 penguins are now chilling at Mall of 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\/07\/03\/10-penguins-are-now-chilling-at-mall-of-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();
