Initial data from the CBE showed the annual headline inflation rate in April dropping to 13.1% from 13.3% in March, while core inflation was up fractionally to 11.62% from 11.59%.<\/p><p><strong>These largely flat figures lead analysts to believe that the Central Bank\u2019s Monetary Policy Committee will leave interest rates on hold ahead of subsidy cuts in July. These included <\/strong>Pharos Research\u2019s Radwa Swaify, who said that the recent hike in Metro ticket prices, more consumer spending during Ramadan, the expected hike in energy and power prices in July, and higher oil prices all point to a transient rise in inflation. CBE Governor Tarek Amer had also said earlier this week that the committee has a number of global factors to consider, such as rising oil prices and US interest rates, as well as expected US sanctions on Iran.<\/p><p><strong>Moody\u2019s singles out Egypt, other EMs in warning over debt vulnerabilities: <\/strong>Egypt was among seven emerging markets Moody\u2019s rating agency is warning may hold the biggest risks to global rising debt costs and tightening global financial conditions out of the 125 sovereigns it has analyzed. In a research note out on Sunday, the firm said that sovereigns with relatively short average maturity of debt and weak debt affordability are generally the most exposed to a larger than expected rise in borrowing costs. \"In our view, exposure to a shift in financing conditions is highest for Lebanon, Egypt, Pakistan, Bahrain and Mongolia. Sri Lanka and Jordan are also highly exposed,\" says Moody's Vice President and Senior Analyst Elisa Parisi-Capone. \u201cMoody's concludes that a moderate shock would generally be manageable, with limited impact on sovereigns' debt affordability and debt burdens...In the severe shock, all the most exposed emerging market and frontier market sovereigns would see fiscal strength weaken. Absent a policy response that effectively mitigated the erosion of fiscal strength, these shifts would strain ratings.\u201d<\/p><p><strong>Egypt is already taking steps:<\/strong> Finance Minister Amr El Garhy <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/04\/24\/what-were-tracking-on-24-april-2018\/\">had stated last month<\/a> that Egypt is considering shifting away from costly short-term domestic debt towards longer-term borrowing, as falling interest rates provide cheaper options to finance its fiscal deficit. It will increasingly rely on five- to seven-year bonds instead of Treasury bills that have shorter maturities and currently make up the bulk of local-currency borrowing. He had also noted that the onus for lower borrowing costs now falls on the central bank. CBE Governor Tarek Amer himself <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/05\/14\/banking-act-will-be-ready-in-july\/\">had noted on Sunday<\/a> that Egypt was looking for longer-term debt.<\/p><p><strong>The report comes as investors in the riskiest EMs have been nursing losses lately<\/strong> on fears of a rate hike by the US Federal Reserve and higher USD, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/efe21772-5767-11e8-bdb7-f6677d2e1ce8\">says the FT<\/a>.<\/p><p><strong>Turbulence in emerging markets is leaving investors conflicted as to whether it\u2019s time to buy <\/strong>as EMeconomies witnessed their largest sell-off since 2016 in the last two weeks.<\/p><p><strong>The Bulls:<\/strong> Morgan Stanley is betting that US treasury yields won\u2019t fluctuate wildly from current levels and predicts that the USD will be weaker than expected, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-05-14\/morgan-stanley-splits-with-nomura-over-emerging-market-outlook\">Bloomberg notes<\/a>. \u201cIn short, we believe that the market has exaggerated the risks for EM and that current levels represent a tactical opportunity to add risk,\u201d Morgan Stanley strategist James Lord says.

In the second half of a two-part interview with the newspaper, the Qalaa Holdings founder and chairman also commented on other key issues, including the shifting dynamics of global politics and the prospect of a global trade war, and how these could have an impact on Egypt\u2019s affairs.

We have more details on the story in Speed Round, below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Palestinian hospitals were scrambling to keep up with the influx of wounded citizens<\/strong>, leading officials to contact Egyptian authorities to allow for injured citizens to cross the Rafah border and receive medical attention at Egyptian hospitals, Palestinian Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf Al Qodra told Hona Al Asema\u2019s Lamees Al Hadidi (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=l5uOZqV1YEA\">watch, runtime: 5:07<\/a>). Ambulances have been stationed at the border to transport the wounded passing into Egypt to the nearest hospitals in North Sinai, all of which are on high alert and have been fully equipped to meet the patients\u2019 needs, Egypt\u2019s Health Ministry spokesman Khaled Megahed said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=i-QA5EnqFpU&t=4s\">watch, runtime: 2:43<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kol Youm\u2019s Amr Adib made it a point to express his frustration with Arab countries\u2019 lukewarm stance on the Palestinian cause<\/strong>. He also reiterated that Palestinians are fully within their rights when protesting and should not be at risk of being killed by Israeli soldiers when doing so (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HhZtohTIpK4\">watch, runtime: 8:00<\/a>). The issue was also tackled on Masaa DMC (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WGDbKglI_8Y\">watch, runtime: 9:23<\/a>) and Al Hayah Al Youm (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UoM2VpxuR14\">watch, runtime: 17:12<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Planning Ministry has signed off on a new system for government employees\u2019 wages<\/strong>, which is meant to declutter the way wages are broken down, Central Organization for Management and Administration head Saleh El Sheikh told Lamees. He explained that the previous wage system \u2014 which included a base salary and about a dozen categories for supplementary wages and bonuses \u2014 resulted in disparities between employees of the same seniority, and that the new system should introduce more equality. He stressed that the new system does not entail a wage increase, but that it puts in place a clear framework for future salary raises (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AA2ahkk4Yqo\">watch, runtime: 7:52<\/a>). He was not clear if this would mean amendments to the Civil Service Act were coming.<\/p>\n<p><strong>With Ramadan just around the corner, food prices during the holy month was a necessary topic of discussion<\/strong> for Lamees, who sat down with Food Industries Holding Company head Alaa Fahmy, Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce Secretary General Alaa Ezz, and MP Mohamed El Zeni (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uQfmXtfQwb0\">watch, runtime: 36:32<\/a>). Fahmy gave Lamees the lowdown on the Ahlan Ramadan supermarket expo, as well as the company\u2019s plans to dispatch vehicles to bring food products to low-income neighborhoods that might not have access to retail outlets (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cx4vfX5cqgc\">watch, runtime: 2:14<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Banks should allow metro commuters to pay for membership cards in instalments to help alleviate the financial burden of the ticket price hikes<\/strong>, Kol Youm\u2019s Amr Adib said. He repeated the previous two nights\u2019 calls for frequent metro users to rely on a membership as a way to cut down costs, saying that the memberships have been in high demand (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sVPoOc75pq8\">watch, runtime: 8:19<\/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=\"628829\" 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=\"628829\">\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\/15\/will-consolis-be-the-first-major-foreign-company-to-invest-in-the-newly-privatized-railways\/\">\r\n                            Will Consolis be the first major foreign company to invest in the newly privatized railways?

Jobs carried out by humans in EMEA stood at 91% three years ago, dropping to 85% today, and expected to reach 75% in another three years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The full-time worker model is also changing slowly, with 24% of Middle Eastern employers expecting a rise in contingent workers over the next few years.<\/strong> \u201cEmployers have to help workers upskill before it is too late, while also shifting the types of jobs on offer\u2014adapting some roles to be carried out by workers with low skill sets, while redesigning others to satisfy those with wider skill sets,\u201d says Waarie. Other expected changes in the Middle East include a rising number of women entering the workforce and a growing demand for gender equality. \u201cBetween 2006 and 2016 the number of women in work more than doubled from 20% to 48%.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div
