We have chapter and verse in Speed Round, below.<\/p>\n<p>But first: <strong>Argineering won EGP 100,000 in the CIB-sponsored Hona Al Shabab startup competition<\/strong> on Hona Al Asema. Couponat and Star Marine landed in second and third place, respectively.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Now onto the new sovereign wealth fund: <\/strong>The fund is meant to put untapped assets to use, Cabinet spokesman Ashraf Sultan said. He noted that the state has around 100 sizeable assets and a plethora of smaller assets that are either mismanaged or not capitalized on at all. The new fund may play a role in setting up new companies, upping existing companies\u2019 capital, or investing in listed securities, Sultan told Al Hayah Al Youm\u2019s Tamer Amin (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EfH_Ldta2Q0\">watch, runtime: 4:21<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Although farmers maybe disgruntled, the wheat purchasing price set by the government is fair and suitable<\/strong>, Supply Minister Ali El Moselhy told Amin. The price was determined according to a formula that draws on the average USD exchange rate and takes into consideration the expense of subsidizing bread, which is expected to cost state coffers EGP 16 bn from local wheat alone, the minister said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_lE3oaiR22Q\">watch, runtime: 7:10<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The drop in global wheat prices justifies the price announced by the government, <\/strong>Farmers\u2019 Syndicate head Hussein Abu Saddam nodded in agreement. Abu Saddam suggested that reducing the price of agricultural supplies such as fertilizers could help offset disappointment and encourage upset farmers to continue cultivating wheat. Around 3.2 mn feddans of wheat were planted this season, he told Yahduth fi Misr\u2019s Sherif Amer (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/YahdothFiMasr\/videos\/567916993586611\/\">watch, runtime: 3:44<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <strong>Vice Minister of Finance for Capital Market Operations Khaled Abdelrahman spent his evening giving Amin an economics crash course<\/strong> on Al Hayah Al Youm.

common shareholders could fast-track an agreement:<\/strong> Upmarket real estate developer SODIC <a href=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/inktankir2\/sodic\/20180411-MNHD-talks-release-vf.pdf\">said yesterday (pdf)<\/a> that it welcomes discussions with Madinet Nasr Housing and Development about \u201cpotential strategic alternatives for the two entities by way of merger or acquisition\u201d and specifically noted the \u201cpotential synergies and benefits that could accrue to each party\u201d if the two businesses were to be combined.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SODIC boss sees synergies, opportunity to create value:<\/strong> \u201cWe\u2019re definitely excited about an opportunity to create value for shareholders of both companies if the transaction were to go through in the appropriate way,\u201d SODIC CEO Magued Sherif told us yesterday. \u201cObviously, things are preliminary, but SODIC would bring to the table an outstanding brand, deep industry expertise, a very diverse land bank, and a strong management team. And MNHD has very clear expertise and a large land bank in strategic areas on the east of Cairo. So marrying the two could makes sense provided we have the right mechanism and the right transaction dynamics to create value for all shareholders.\u201d SODIC\u2019s board of directors, Sherif said, will meet early next week to discuss the transaction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Transaction could be fast-tracked by common shareholders?<\/strong> Although both companies have publicly (and privately) cautioned that it\u2019s entirely possible there will be no agreement, we believe common shareholders could move the transaction toward a relatively rapid close. Olayan Financing and the Abanamay family are among the largest shareholders at SODIC, where each has board representation; they are also shareholders at MNHD. Olayan and the Abanamays are high-profile, long-term Gulf-based investors in Egypt. Both SODIC and MNHD declined to comment on overlaps in their shareholding structures, pointing us instead to public records.<\/p>\n<p><strong>15.3 mn sqm of undeveloped land in a merged company?<\/strong> One thing analysts will want to do is the math on the contribution of each company to a merged land bank. MNHD would bring 7.3 mn sqm of raw land to the transaction, all of it in East Cairo. SODIC has a more diverse land bank (spanning both sides of Cairo and the North Coast) and would could contribute something in the vicinity of 8 mn sqm, not the 5.8 mn sqm it reports in its land bank today: Among other transactions now in the works, the company was announced last month as the highest bidder for a 500-acre revenue-share pact with NUCA. Sherif declined to discuss those transactions yesterday, saying only, \u201cWe have a diverse and very attractive national land bank, and it is certainly growing as we work toward close on the acquisition of another 500 feddans in Sheikh Zayed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more background? <\/strong>You can check out <a href=\"http:\/\/mnhd.com\/wp-content\/themes\/twentyfifteen\/Images\/ir\/pdf\/media-5dc0c7a8-4ea8-454b-a444-e7a7ffb0072a.pdf\">MNHD\u2019s investor presentation here<\/a> (pdf) and <a href=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/inktankir2\/sodic\/SODIC-IRP-Q4-2017-v2.pdf\">download SODIC\u2019s here<\/a> (pdf).<\/p>\n<p><strong>A quick disclaimer: <\/strong>SODIC is one of three valued anchor sponsors of Enterprise whose financial support allow you to receive this briefing without charge each morning.

According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/322120565_Egyptian_Imperial_Economy_in_Canaan_Reaction_to_the_Climate_Crisis_at_the_End_of_the_Late_Bronze_Age\">Finkelstein\u2019s study<\/a>, ancient Egyptian leaders ordered increased grain production and crossbred local cattle in an early effort to ward off climate disaster caused by drought. However, their efforts only managed to extend the life of the Egyptian empire about half a century longer, before the ultimate collapse of the empire and the Late Bronze Age. Despite their failure, ancient Egyptians offered a valuable lesson that modern civilizations have yet to learn. \u201cPresent-day humanity may have the resources and tools to cope with climate change, but action is often stifled by those who have a vested interest in denying the reality of human-caused climate change,\u201d says historian John F.

According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheEconomist\/videos\/10156457960644060\/\">The Economist<\/a>, women do not get paid less for the same jobs, but rather are typically placed into jobs that are not as high-paying as those predominantly occupied by men. Women are generally shut out of executive positions and dominate professions such as teaching and nursing \u2014 but their biggest hurdle is motherhood. The majority of women resort to scaling back working hours, and typically see their <strong>salaries cut by 4% if they return to work after having a child.<\/strong> The same rule does not hold up for men. This systemic flaw in the job market, which essentially penalizes women for their biological reproductive abilities, persists despite women earning more degrees than men, and becoming increasingly ambitious and outspoken (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheEconomist\/videos\/10156457960644060\/\">watch, runtime: 02:04<\/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\/worth-watching\/\">worth watching<\/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=\"630142\" 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=\"630142\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">10<\/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\/04\/12\/egypt-and-cyprus-likely-to-build-underwater-pipeline-to-move-gas-between-them\/\">\r\n                            Egypt and Cyprus likely to build underwater pipeline to move gas between them                        <\/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\/04\/12\/egypt-and-cyprus-likely-to-build-underwater-pipeline-to-move-gas-between-them\/\" 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();
