Oil Minister Tarek El Molla made an appearance on the airwaves to discuss the news.<\/p>\n<p>Before we dive into Zohr, <strong>El Molla denied that his ministry is in talks with Exxon Mobil for oil and gas exploration projects in an interview with Hona Al Asema\u2019s Lamees Al Hadidi<\/strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/12\/05\/exxon-mobil-looking-to-invest-in-egypts-offshore-fields\/\">Reuters had reported earlier in the month<\/a> that the US energy giant was exploring an investment in Zohr. El Molla is even quoted as having had meetings with the company but did not elaborate on any new investments. \u201cI would be happy to have them with us,\u201d he is reported to have said. A source said Exxon conducted a portfolio profitability reassessment in Egypt following the discovery of Zohr and is looking for \u201ctier-one assets\u201d with significant potential (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YKZ_SOcqy7w\">watch, runtime: 1:41<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>As for Zohr, El Molla said the field will save state coffers some USD 720 mn per year.<\/strong> He added that the gas field will allow the state to reroute fuel subsidies towards other services, including healthcare, education, and transportation (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GkFo95qCg7A\">watch, runtime: 3:21<\/a>). The minister also broke down economic interests in the field (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nDPcT8JZfpU\">watch, runtime: 6:03<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trade and Industry Minister Tarek Kabil also phoned in to tell Lamees that Zohr is expected to attract investments to energy-intensive industries<\/strong>, including fertilizer, steel, and ceramics production (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MZKXVimdFuM\">watch, runtime: 4:48<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Over on Kol Youm, <strong>Amr Adib was Debbie Downer on the agreement to resume Russian flights to Cairo<\/strong>. He said the details of the agreement remain unclear and that Russian tourism to Egypt remains unlikely to return to previous levels (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Y7vDdxq0ev4\">watch, runtime: 6:03<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adib also had a chat with State Land and Assets Reclamation Committee Spokesperson Ahmed Ayoub<\/strong>, who said that the committee is working on a census of reclaimed state land in each governorate. The reclaimed land is then allocated for other uses, including social housing projects. The committee also compiled a report on vacant land plots for the Investment Ministry to include in its long-awaited investment map (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IyXiLY_mksQ\">watch, runtime: 5:08<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>House Health Committee President Mohamed El Amary talked to Al Hayah Al Youm\u2019s Tamer Amin about the main features of the Universal Healthcare Act<\/strong>, which will be discussed in a plenary session at the House today (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=StjOV5U9pKA\">watch, runtime: 5:44<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Over on Masaa DMC, <strong>Ittihadiya spokesman Bassam Rady told host Eman El Hosary that Egypt has managed to significantly curb the flow of illegal migration<\/strong> thanks to national projects that put youth to work, as well as tightened security measures.

The agreement signed between Russian Transport Minister Maxim Sokolov and Civil Aviation Minister Sherif Fathy took place on Friday after Fathy left for Moscow on Thursday, Russian <a href=\"http:\/\/tass.com\/economy\/981432\">state news agency TASS<\/a> said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Only direct flights to Cairo are covered \u2014 for now. <\/strong>Importantly, the status of charter flights has yet to be determined and will be discussed at a follow up meeting in April 2018, the Civil Aviation ministry said, <a href=\"http:\/\/gate.ahram.org.eg\/News\/1736730.aspx\">according to Ahram Gate<\/a>.

The map will focus largely on livestock projects, in addition to potential investments in the reclamation of agricultural land. The initiative follows the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/12\/06\/expect-a-wave-of-investment-pledges-from-the-ebrd-for-agribusiness-in-the-near-future\/\">signing of a joint declaration earlier this month<\/a> between Egypt and the UN Food and Agricultural Organization, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and the World Bank to promote investment in efficient and sustainable agriculture. We expect the agreement to encourage development finance institutions to increase their investment pledges for the agribusiness sector in the near future.<\/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\/other-business-news-of-note\/\">Other Business News of Note<\/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=\"635928\" 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=\"635928\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">13<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Egypt Politics + Economics<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/12\/17\/finance-ministry-preparing-long-term-economic-reform-strategy-for-post-2019\/\">\r\n                            Finance Ministry preparing long-term economic reform strategy for post-2019                        <\/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\/2017\/12\/17\/finance-ministry-preparing-long-term-economic-reform-strategy-for-post-2019\/\" 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();
