We have the full story in Speed Round, below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Transportation Minister Hisham Arafat declared that there is no going back on the price increases<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=e1vYifT5dBg\">watch, runtime 7:07<\/a>) and noted that the lack of funding has prevented the ministry from carrying out maintenance works on the metro\u2019s main line, which threatens daily operations (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RK91MHRK_Xg\">watch, runtime: 5:44<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The government is still subsidizing Metro tickets<\/strong>, Arafat stressed. The state pays a EGP 0.60 subsidy on every EGP 3 ticket, while the EGP 5 ticket is subsidized to the tune of EGP 2 and the EGP 7 ticket should cost EGP 16 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ti8W-daELrU\">watch, runtime: 2:47<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The tier-based system was implemented with an eye towards improving social equality<\/strong>, since it is unfair to charge commuters the same fare regardless of the distance they travel, Arafat told Lamees. He also defended the system by pointing out that it is widely used in other countries (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=d9SKmgcCXu8\">watch, runtime: 6:06<\/a>). Even with the nearly threefold increase in prices, the metro remains the cheapest mode of transportation Egypt has to offer, he said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nWfm7glWqYM\">watch, runtime: 3:34<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The state is working to improve metro infrastructure and services<\/strong>, the minister said, rushing to give Lamees a rundown of the planned investments in developing metro lines. The Japanese International Cooperation Agency is expected to sign on to develop Cairo Metro Line 4 in 2H2018. The metro network will cover 85 km by year\u2019s end, up from 77 km currently. Arafat also reminded viewers that the private sector is now allowed to partake in the management of new metro lines, which is expected to help bring service standards up to par (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lm5DB2e9GOY\">watch, runtime: 2:10<\/a>). The ministry is also looking at international companies to develop metro cars currently in use, many of which have not been maintained for over three decades (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=COc20ilfHpQ\">watch, runtime: 9:57<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The price hikes were originally scheduled to take place in February<\/strong>, but the ministry decided to push them to the end of the academic year, Assistant Transport Minister Amr Shaat told Kol Youm\u2019s Amr Adib. He vehemently denied that the move came as a surprise to commuters, pointing out that the ministry had publicly announced its plans earlier on. Shaat brushed off reports of protests breaking out at the Helwan metro station, saying that they were contained and that the three metro lines have been operating as usual (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=h2bfzL3w0qk\">watch the full interview, runtime: 48: 24<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>House leaders threw their weight behind the move:<\/strong> House Transport Committee member Mohamed Zein Eldin defended the price hikes as a necessity for the metro\u2019s maintenance, and reassured viewers that the Transport Ministry did not need parliamentary sign-off before implementing the new pricing system (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RFjDEKrMXYQ\">watch, runtime: 3:56<\/a>). MP Amin Masoud phoned into Hona Al Asema to urge commuters to buy a membership card, which would significantly reduce their expenditures (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Pm84SyqxiBU\">watch, runtime: 4:21<\/a>). Lamees Al Hadidi reiterated Masoud\u2019s calls and noted that students and disabled citizens are exempted from the increases (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=h9rH3JLWFiQ\">watch, runtime: 9:34<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Egyptian student Mariam Mostafa\u2019s body has been laid to rest in Egypt<\/strong>, lawyer Emad Abu Hussein said. Mostafa was beaten to death in London earlier this year (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wDKw7_8lMis\">watch, runtime: 3:00<\/a>). Masaa DMC\u2019s Eman Al Hossary also sat down with Mostafa\u2019s family to talk about developments in the investigation into the incident (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8v-T5ACbN_o\">watch, runtime: 4:49<\/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=\"628729\" 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=\"628729\">\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\">Speed Round<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/05\/13\/sp-finally-raises-egypts-sovereign-credit-rating-to-b-from-b\/\">\r\n                            S&#038;P finally raises Egypt\u2019s sovereign credit rating to \u2018B\u2019 from \u2018B-\u2019                        <\/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\/05\/13\/sp-finally-raises-egypts-sovereign-credit-rating-to-b-from-b\/\" 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();

S&P forecasts GDP growth will reach 5.2% in FY2017-18 and is upping its expectation for growth over the next four years to 5.4% from 4.4%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating hike underpinned by economic reforms:<\/strong> S&P sees that economic and fiscal reforms will underpin rising business confidence and sustain capital inflows. One of its key assumptions is that these inflows will lead to an increase in FX reserves, even as a large portion of the fiscal deficit will be financed through external borrowing. \u201cIn net terms, we project the key source of financing for the current account deficit will be net foreign direct investment averaging close to 3% of GDP per year over our outlook horizon.\u201d The outfit sees Egypt experiencing a more broad-based recovery and a slight move away from a consumption-driven economy toward an increasing contribution from investment and net exports.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Upside risk: <\/strong>\u201cWe could consider a positive rating action if Egypt's growth significantly outperforms our forecasts, if larger-than-anticipated improvements in the current account position sharply reduce Egypt's external financing requirements and external debt levels, and if Egypt's reform program successfully lowers government debt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Downside risk: higher borrowing costs and insecurity:<\/strong> \u201cNegative pressure on the rating could arise if Egypt's plan to gradually reduce government debt to GDP is derailed by fiscal slippages, higher borrowing costs, or more pronounced currency depreciation than expected, or if foreign exchange reserve levels were to fall significantly. We could also see negative pressure on the rating if the security environment worsens, hindering the recovery in investment and tourism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The ratings boost is a testament to the success of the economic reform measures<\/strong> and in the confidence investors have shown towards the Egyptian economy, Finance Minister Amr El Garhy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mof.gov.eg\/Arabic\/MOFNews\/Media\/Pages\/releas-a-10-5-18.aspx\">said in a statement on Friday<\/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\/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=\"628741\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"628742\" 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=\"628742\">\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\">Image of the Day<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/05\/13\/antiquities-ministry-to-restore-hosh-al-basha-at-el-imam-el-shafei-mosque\/\">\r\n                            Antiquities Ministry to restore Hosh al-Basha at El Imam El Shafei mosque                        <\/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\/05\/13\/antiquities-ministry-to-restore-hosh-al-basha-at-el-imam-el-shafei-mosque\/\" 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();
