El Garhy noted that although each loaf costs EGP 0.55 to produce and is sold for EGP 0.05, the subsidy will remain in place for the time being, particularly as the government keeps an eye on the social safety net throughout ongoing reforms. He stressed that the program is partially geared towards undoing several years of damage, including the widening of the state budget deficit in the years following 2011 that led to inflation and exchange rates skyrocketing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>El Garhy also told Abdel Hameed that Egypt\u2019s external debt levels have reached USD 81 bn but the government has a debt strategy<\/strong> in place for the coming fiscal year. He noted that gas discoveries coming online will help to curb the price of petroleum products (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ri0h_MZiEnA\">watch, runtime: 2:12:13<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Railway ticket prices will almost certainly be raised within two weeks\u2019 time<\/strong>, Transport Minister Hisham Arafat told Kol Youm\u2019s Amr Adib. Arafat said that holding off on the increases any longer is simply not feasible as the Egyptian National Railways (ENR) continues to incur significant losses, including EGP 200 mn since the last hike in oil prices back in July. Much to Adib\u2019s astonishment, Arafat said that the ENR is indeed required to pay the Oil Ministry for its fuel consumption, but noted that the ENR has been unable to make these payments due to its financing gap (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ysvzn7Qn47U\">watch, runtime: 3:40<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Metro tickets will also see an increase in May, at which point tickets will range between EGP 3 and 6<\/strong> depending on the distance traveled (we have more on the proposed pricing schemes in the Speed Round) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=T05ykm7lYps\">watch, runtime: 1:26<\/a>). Arafat also said that the metro is in dire need of maintenance works, particularly Line 1, which is susceptible to breaking down at any moment (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1B4pDDoMOMo\">watch, runtime: 2:12<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Supply Ministry\u2019s purge of the subsidy system\u2019s database found over 3 mn Kramers are alive and mooching well<\/strong>, assistant minister Amr Abdel Moneim told Ala Mas\u2019ouleety\u2019s Ahmed Moussa. The ministry\u2019s purge also unveiled corruption from subsidized commodities vendors, who manipulated the system by using smartcards that never made it to the intended beneficiaries (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5HfaKFVIHJs\">watch, runtime: 2:01<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Over on Al Hayah Al Youm, Tourism Minister Yehia Rashed told host Tamer Amin<\/strong> that one of the sector\u2019s biggest achievement over the past few years was its focus on developing religious tourism, which should see a further boom once the Holy Family trail is opened to visitors.

The rate is the lowest since November 2015. Annual Inflation also dropped to 21.9% from 26% a month before. Annual core inflation reached 19.86% during December, down from 25.54% in November. On a monthly basis, core inflation declined by 0.37% last month, compared to an increase of 1.31% the month before, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbe.org.eg\/en\/Pages\/HighlightsPages\/CPI-Press-Release-December-2017.aspx\">according to central bank data<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The monthly decline was driven by a decrease in the prices of various food staples<\/strong>, including red meat, poultry, vegetables, and lentils, EFG Hermes says. Radwa El-Swaify, head of research at Pharos Holding, thinks holiday promotions and discounts might have helped push food prices down, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-01-10\/egypt-urban-inflation-rate-drops-as-currency-float-shock-eases\">Bloomberg reports<\/a>. \u201cThe stability of prices on a monthly basis makes sense: any further increases would affect demand,\u201d El-Swaify says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Finance Minister Amr El Garhy expects the annual inflation rate to drop below 20% next month and to hit 10-12% during the year<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/af.reuters.com\/article\/commoditiesNews\/idAFL8N1P50RW\">according to Reuters<\/a>. In 2019, he sees inflation falling to single digits and believes the reading for last month is \u201ca better than good indication and puts us on a good path.\u201d In the nearer term, EFG Hermes\u2019 Mohamed Abu Basha expects inflation rates to slow down to 17-18% in January and 15-16% in February and to stabilize around 13-14% by mid-year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can we now have lower interest rates, please?<\/strong> With the drop in inflation, speculation over when and by how much interest rates should drop has begun. Easing may begin in the first quarter, according to CI Capital Holding economist Hany Farahat. Even so, an exodus of foreign investors is unlikely because longer-term securities will remain attractive, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-01-09\/turkey-rates-to-morocco-s-peg-a-guide-to-region-s-central-banks\">he told Bloomberg<\/a> in its roundup on what to expect from MENA central banks.

Hypatia comes from the central core of a comet and other parts of its composition were picked up here on Earth.<\/p>\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\/image-of-the-day\/\">IMAGE OF THE DAY<\/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=\"634311\" 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=\"634311\">\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\">EGYPT IN THE NEWS<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/01\/11\/al-azhar-is-ambivalent-towards-tolerant-views-of-christians-in-egypt\/\">\r\n                            Al-Azhar is ambivalent towards tolerant views of Christians in Egypt                        <\/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\/01\/11\/al-azhar-is-ambivalent-towards-tolerant-views-of-christians-in-egypt\/\" 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();

The report says 128 Christians were killed in Egypt for their faith and more than 200 were driven out of their homes in 2017, attributing the rise in persecution to \u201cthe overspill of Islamic terrorists driven out of Iraq and Syria\u201d. The report is being widely covered, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2018\/jan\/10\/christians-egypt-unprecedented-persecution-report\">most notably by the Guardian<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some Al-Azhar officials seem to \u201ceither have an ambivalent attitude or a two-faced\u201d attitude regarding tolerance towards Christians in Egypt<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gatestoneinstitute.org\/11712\/egypt-al-azhar-moderation\">AZ Mohamed writes for Gatestone Institute<\/a>, citing a MEMRI report. Mohamed says the clerics are not following direction from Ittihadiya on pushing a more tolerant view because of the influence of extremist ideology and their uncertainty regarding both their public image and their popularity if they yield to President Abdel Fattah El Sisi\u2019s demands. \u201cThese reservations seem especially charged in the context of rivalries for religious leadership in Egypt, and signs of support for Al Azhar from the parliament, the media and the public. Possibly even more persuasive is the fear of gradually losing all power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Egypt is hoping that Russia\u2019s resumption of flights to Cairo will encourage the UK to lift its ban on flights to Sharm El Sheikh<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ttgmedia.com\/news\/news\/russias-return-to-egypt-could-encourage-the-uk-to-change-advice-12849\">TTG says<\/a>. The UK\u2019s insistence on keeping its ban on the Sharm El Sheikh airport is \u201cextremely frustrating,\u201d especially since the FCO does not have any security warnings in place for the town itself, UK and Ireland director at the Egyptian Tourism Authority Amr El Ezaby tells TTG. According to El Ezaby, \u201cauthorities had made GBP 20 mn worth of investments in airport security as well as improving infrastructure in the wider resort.\u201d Persistent demand from the British market for vacations in Sharm El Sheikh throughout last year should also spur the British government to action, El Ezaby says.<\/p>\n<p>Worth skimming in brief this morning:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><strong>Daesh has set its sights on the Gaza strip in attempts that should worry not only Palestinians, <\/strong>but Israel and Egypt as well, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gatestoneinstitute.org\/11713\/isis-gaza-hamas\">Bassam Tawil writes for Gatestone Institute<\/a>. <\/li>\n<li>With gas from the Zohr field flowing,<strong> plans are in place to make fuel distribution more efficient and expand wind power, <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.petroleum-economist.com\/articles\/midstream-downstream\/lng\/2018\/egypts-gas-transmission-strategy\">Gerald Butt writes for Petroleum Economist<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Italian investigators seized yesterday the computer and cell phone of Giulio Regeni\u2019s Cambridge University professor<\/strong>, Maha Abdelrahman, <a href=\"https:\/\/af.reuters.com\/article\/commoditiesNews\/idAFL8N1P55Q8\">Reuters reports<\/a>. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\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\/egypt-in-the-news\/\">Egypt in the News<\/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=\"634312\" 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=\"634312\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">7<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">On Deadline<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/01\/11\/columnists-continue-to-criticize-lack-of-pluralism-democratic-competition-in-presidential-elections-run-up\/\">\r\n                            Columnists continue to criticize lack of pluralism, democratic competition in presidential elections run-up                        <\/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\/01\/11\/columnists-continue-to-criticize-lack-of-pluralism-democratic-competition-in-presidential-elections-run-up\/\" 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();

(GASC) received seven bid in its first wheat tender of the year following additional negotiations that contractual issues will be amended, the head of the Institute for Agricultural Market Studies (IKAR), Dmitry Rylko, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.interfax.com.ua\/news\/economic\/475750.html\">told Interfax<\/a>. \u201cThe difficulty arose from Egypt's attempt to begin enforcing a little-used rule. \u2018Recently GASC found in its documents a rule under which it has the right to charge supplying companies demurrage fees,\u2019 Rylko said. \u2018The suppliers were informed of this two days ago,\u2019 he said, adding that the rule was to be applied to all demurrage instances retroactively to the beginning of the current agricultural year, that is, July 2017. \u2018There were quite a lot of them,\u2019 he said.\u201d Initial media reports suggested that no bids were received, but after resolving the issues, seven companies presented bids, Rylko says.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content
