As signs pointed to the CBE reaching its inflation target of 13% by 4Q2018, the CBE decided to lower interest rates by 100 Bps last month, the statement said. <strong>The CBE expects inflation to remain under control in the medium term.<\/strong> Look for this to fuel the expectation that the CBE\u2019s monetary policy committee will cut interest rates this month. Research houses from EFG Hermes to Pharos <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/03\/15\/what-were-tracking-on-15-march-2018\/\">have been unanimous<\/a> in saying that the CBE might cut interest rates again this month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The central bank\u2019s Monetary Policy Committee <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbe.org.eg\/en\/MonetaryPolicy\/Pages\/MPCMeetingSchedule.aspx\"><strong>next meets on 29 March<\/strong><\/a>to consider interest rates. Not this coming Thursday, as we suggested last week. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The slog to to the next fiscal year\u2019s budget has begun:<\/strong> The Ismail cabinet will meet today to discuss the FY2018-19 budget, Prime Minister Sherif Ismail reportedly said, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almalnews.com\/Story\/369045\/14\/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D9%83%D9%88%D9%85%D8%A9-%D8%AA%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%82%D8%B4%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%B2%D9%86%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AC%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%AF%D8%A9-%D9%81%D9%8A-%D8%A7%D8%AC%D8%AA%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%B9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D8%AD%D8%AF-%D8%BA%D9%8A%D8%B1-%D9%85%D8%B3%D8%A8%D9%88%D9%82%D8%A9\">according to Al Mal<\/a>. The government is targeting a budget deficit to 8.5% of GDP next fiscal year and a primary budget surplus of 2%. Ismail added that the new budget would see unprecedented spending on social welfare, but did not note projected cuts to energy subsidy spending. Finance Minister Amr El Garhy <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/03\/06\/finance-minister-presents-initial-outline-for-fy2018-19-state-budget\/\">had said that<\/a> the new budget would target GDP growth 5.5% <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/02\/21\/what-were-tracking-on-21-february-2018-2\/\">and projected that<\/a> revenues for the year would reach EGP 1 tn for the first time in the country\u2019s history. He had said the government would introduce the bill to parliament on 31 March.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t expect the PM himself to attend the budget meeting<\/strong> as he reportedly left Egypt last night for follow up check ups on his health, according to the newspaper.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry will meet with his Emirati counterpart<\/strong> Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Cairo today, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shorouknews.com\/news\/view.aspx?cdate=17032018&id=0ab2dd97-61ae-4f3c-8ec2-ca2105a9ed7e\">Al Shorouk reports<\/a>. The meeting follows the first summit of the Egyptian-Emirati Economic Committee which saw the signing of a number of MoUs to lower trade barriers (we have more in the Speed Round).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Voting in the presidential election has begun <\/strong>with Egyptians living abroad voting at embassies and consulates worldwide. Voters in Egypt go to the polls 26-28 March. We have more in today\u2019s Speed Round, below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A weeklong heat wave begins today,<\/strong> with temperatures well above the seasonal average, according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almasryalyoum.com\/news\/details\/1270016\">meteorological authority<\/a>.

The medical treatment Mostafa received during her hospitalization could play an important role in shaping the legal charges brought against her attackers, Kamel told Lamees on Hona Al Asema. He noted, however, that the identities of Mostafa\u2019s attackers is known but British laws prevent minors from being arrested (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=R5cv6p1MtxU&t=1s\">watch, runtime: 4:00<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <strong>Kol Youm\u2019s Amr Adib got the latest on the tourism sector\u2019s slow recovery from hotel industry expert Ahmed El Wasif<\/strong>, who said that the ITB Berlin tourism expo offered some reassuring indicators that Red Sea tourism is bouncing back, particularly among German nationals (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=r46ldq-XPxg\">watch, runtime: 2:30<\/a>).

The sale of the maturing assets comes as BP looks to focus on ramping up gas production in the eastern Mediterranean from fields such as the West Nile Delta development and its stake in Zohr. While the banking sources valued GUPCO at USD 500 mn, BP is hoping to raise USD 1 bn from the sale, sources familiar with the matter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-03-15\/bp-is-said-to-offer-egyptian-oil-assets-for-sale-as-focus-shifts\">tell Bloomberg<\/a>. BP has a target to sell USD 2-3 bn of assets this year, down from USD 4.3 bn in 2017, as it continues to shore up its finances following crude\u2019s collapse. Divesting the Egyptian onshore fields could be sensitive as they employ thousands of local staff, sources added.<\/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=\"631393\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"631394\" 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=\"631394\">\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\">SPOTLIGHT: AMCHAM\u2019S 2018 DOORKNOCK IN WASHINGTON, DC<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/03\/18\/631394\/\">\r\n                                                    <\/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\/03\/18\/631394\/\" 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();

adding production lines for components for other industries or switching gears entirely due to falling car sales and the resulting shrinkage in the number of orders for auto parts, said head of the

The warnings should give added impetus to the Trade and Industry Ministry to pass the Automotive Directive, which provides incentives to auto assemblers and component manufacturers to move up the value-chain to manufacturing to better compete against cheaper imports from the EU and other countries. The ministry has until 1 January before customs on EU-assembled cars reach zero.<\/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\/automotive-transportation\/\">Automotive + Transportation<\/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=\"631412\" 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=\"631412\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">14<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Other Business News of Note<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/03\/18\/economic-court-sequesters-al-hayat-tvs-trademarks-for-failing-to-repay-debts-to-mbc\/\">\r\n                            Economic court sequesters Al Hayat TV\u2019s trademarks for failing to repay debts to MBC                        <\/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\/03\/18\/economic-court-sequesters-al-hayat-tvs-trademarks-for-failing-to-repay-debts-to-mbc\/\" 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();
