on Wednesday evening, <strong>the talking heads covered a wide spectrum of topics on the airwaves last night<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Reuters poll of economists (which we cover in Speed Round, below) undersells Egypt\u2019s growth prospects<\/strong>, EGX Vice Chairman Mohsen Adel said on Masaa DMC. The economists polled did not account for several positive indicators, including the continuous decline in unemployment rates over the past two years and the stability of FX rates, and instead focused on concerns about inflations, he said. Adel sees Egypt\u2019s economic growth coming in at 5.5-5.8% in FY2018-19 on the back of national mega projects and the reduction of debt levels as the government presses ahead with fiscal and monetary reforms (<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QsEGd91-TsA\">watch, runtime: 11:14<\/a><\/u>).<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"content-anchor\" id=\"tldr-story-05\"><\/a> <strong>After granting its vote of confidence to the Madbouly Cabinet, House reps. were intent on letting everyone know that they will be following up on the government\u2019s \u201cprogress.\u201d<\/strong> The House of Representatives will be receiving a progress report from Cabinet every three months, Parliamentary Spokesman Hassaballah told Yahduth fi Masr (<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/YahdothFiMasr\/videos\/635739003471076\/\">watch, runtime: 2:48<\/a><\/u>). Deputy Speaker Soliman Wahdan had similar things to say on Al Hayah fi Masr, and called on ministers to carving out some time from their schedules every month to appear in Parliament (<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FhPbHEp5l2U\">watch, runtime: 4:26<\/a><\/u>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Support Egypt Coalition head Rep. Mohamed Elsewedy recapped parliament\u2019s deliberation process<\/strong> of the Madbouly Cabinet\u2019s policy program, which he said focused on the economic policies outlined, such as the integration of the informal economy and making commodities readily available and affordable for the population (<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SBigtKFL2Nw\">watch, runtime: 5:02<\/a><\/u>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The government must prepare a legislative plan outlining the mechanics of how it will implement the promises made in its policy program<\/strong>, Hassaballah said on Hona Al Asema. He noted that parliament is ready to draft all the legislation necessary to support this process and ensure the government meets its objectives (<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dUDfMQj2ybM\">watch, runtime: 4:20<\/a><\/u>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The proliferation of false news and rumors over the past several months is the Ikhwan\u2019s doing<\/strong>, Supreme Council for Media Regulation head Makram Mohamed Ahmed told Masaa DMC\u2019s Osama Kamal. Ahmed explained the council\u2019s role and vehemently denied that it was responsible for the shuttering of several websites and news outlets, but defended the move as necessary, saying that all of the websites that have been blocked are owned or backed by the Ikhwan (<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kQHvNQ9AYgE\">watch, runtime: 4:43<\/a><\/u> and <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=exE03_u0Y3Y\">runtime: 7:43<\/a><\/u>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Residual commentary on the Siemens power plants also took up some time<\/strong> on Masaa DMC last night, with presidential advisor Hany El Nokrashy hailing the plants\u2019 inauguration as a signal that Egypt is on the right track in terms of development (<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zdHPcPf27OE\">watch, runtime: 6:41<\/a><\/u>).

Bishin and Feryal M. Cherif write for <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/monkey-cage\/wp\/2018\/07\/23\/womens-rights-are-advancing-in-the-middle-east-this-explains-why\/?utm_term=.7b6118bf5662\">the Washington Post<\/a><\/u>. \u201cExamining women\u2019s property rights in 41 Muslim-majority countries, we find that women are likely to enjoy more secure property rights in countries where, first, women have greater access to education and second, where there are dense networks of women\u2019s-rights activists.\u201d Statistics show that women outperform their male peers in school and have a higher rate of university enrolment, and are not increasingly joining the labor force, suggesting that the region is on its way to significantly advancing women\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Religion is too simple of an explanation for gender inequality:<\/strong> Explanations that dismiss gender equality as nothing more than the application of religious teachings, particularly those of Islam, are \u201ctoo simplistic\u201d and fail to account for the incomplete application of religious rules. \u201cCountries tend to discriminate against women by applying religious norms in inheritance rights \u2014 but for property rights where Islam enjoins equality, the practice is more mixed. This inconsistency suggests that religion-based explanations fall short.\u201d The real issue, therefore, is not religion, but rather the patriarchal culture that nitpicks at the parts of religion that cater to the sustenance of this status quo.<\/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\/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=\"627262\" 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=\"627262\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">9<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Diplomacy + Foreign Trade<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/07\/26\/govt-inks-contracts-with-eib-for-its-eur-172-mn-contribution-to-fayoum-wastewater-project\/\">\r\n                            Gov\u2019t inks contracts with EIB for its EUR 172 mn contribution to Fayoum wastewater project                        <\/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\/26\/govt-inks-contracts-with-eib-for-its-eur-172-mn-contribution-to-fayoum-wastewater-project\/\" 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();
